My husband and I have dined in Cote many times and usually have no complaints at all, today though we had to send the bill back twice, the first time we noticed we had been charged for a complimentary bottle of wine and when it was brought to us again we were charged for an extra main meal we had not ordered, there was no problem when we queried it but had we not checked the bill we would of been over charged by about £35. Not impressed. Not up to the usual standard! No complaints about our meal though.

Great service. Portion size was just right. Food quality was good. Steak was cooked ecsctly as my wife asked for. Wine list extensive. Perhaps cocktails as an option would be the only thing I would add.

I will be honest we chose Cote because most of our usual preferred haunts were not open on a Sunday evening. Never dined at a Cote before, yet we were treated like valued regular customers. Genuinely could not fault anything abut our visit. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary, after our experience its would not be a surprise to find we will be celebrating future ones there too. Great welcome, fast service, quality food well cooked.

We had a lovely birthday celebration lunch yesterday to celebrate our twin sons 40th birthdays. We were a party of 16 and we were catered for very well. The food was good and hot. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because when I phoned up to check something, I found that they had no record of our booking which was made at least a week or two weeks earlier . What would have happened if 16 of us turned up and there was no table for us ?!!

Even though with everything going on with Coronavirus we chose to enjoy a meal out. Your restaurant was quiet but the staff were lovely. The food was excellent as always. Care was taken that none of us patrons were sat close to each other. The young lady at the quakers friars restaurant was very polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you to her and the chef

The start of the evening went well once the food order was given the service went downhill, we tried to get the attention of a member of staff for more wine which it seemed he did not want to make eye contact though he was not busy. Eventually another member of staff came over and then spoke to our waiter. NOT GOOD.

Lovely food but Even as a small eater I found myself leaving the restaurant and grabbing something to eat on the way to the car (I had the half chicken) the same dish at browns is much larger , service was good service but dislike the automatic 12.5% added service charge, I always tip for good service but feel this should never be imposed.

Too many menus with too much to choose from. If you’re gonna do the lunch offer (which is great) keep it simple and just have the regular a la carte and then the offer not the extra choice of another offer menu. Staff were not very engaging and friendly. Could have been more open and friendly. Completely missed the possibility to engage with us as it was my birthday and did not register this at all. Food was great (calamari starter was flavourless and dry) but service could be better

I ordered the burger which was expensive for what it was, it tasted very plain with no relish or seasoning and both patty and brioche was dry. However, both of my friends dishes were great. Our main took 55 minutes to come from ordering which we thought was a long time especially as one of us hadn't ordered a starter. When we asked where our food was we were told the chefs don't start preparing the main until we had finished our starter, however we had finished our starter 20 minutes before our server took our plates away. One of our waiters was very friendly and cheerful, and there was a nice atmosphere. They also kept our table for us even though we were half an hour late due to traffic which was great, although they made a point that they wouldn't have done this if they were busy so I am unsure why they mentioned it?

The staff are always so polite & helpful no matter when you visit. The food we cannot fault ,never having a bad meal here. Today we had salmon with fennel etc which was succulent & very tasty & confit duck leg which was perfectly cooked & from a "fat" duck as there was plenty of meat on the bone. A couple of glasses of Merlot completed the meal leaving no room for a pudding sadly. We will return in a few weeks when the menu changes again.

We had a table booked on Friday. When we arrived the person that greeted us seemed very dis interested and popped us on our table. We asked to move to a nicer table as the restaurant was empty and he just rolled his eyes and said 'yea!' We had just been wedding dress shopping and when this waiter came back to the table he acknowledged the dress and just said 'how much was that then?!' During the whole evening we had to get his attention for drinks, the bill etc. I love coming to cote and usually go to the Clifton branch. I have to say that i wouldn't go back to the Quakers friars branch again.

Unfortunately there was an issue in the kitchen and with a party of 7, 5 main meals came out with the remaining 2 arriving after complaining and everyone nearly finishing. The manager did apologise and gave us all a free dessert, which we were grateful for. We have always enjoyed Cotè but this put a dampener on the expectations we have of the chain.
