Pleasant environment ( + a free bottle of wine , nice touch ) staff attentive & polite however my fish was overcooked and dry & the chickpeas were like bullets, my wife's food very good. Great value though.

Quality food and excellent service. The "free" bottle of Cote de Rhine was pleasantly surprising. Been in 3 Cote restaurants in last 3 weeks and they have all been a good experience.

The service was good, and the food was fabulous. My guests were satisfied with the restaurant. I think the service fee 12.5%, charged as part of the bill, was a bit high and it should be voluntary.

Excellent value of lunchtime special with all three of us enjoying particularly tasty starters and main courses. The desserts don't change of course and are always reliable. Staff always relaxed, pleasant and attentive.

Went at a less busy Monday lunchtime. Able to chose our table and we were not rushed to make our decisions from the very reasonably priced lunch menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was lovely. The hardest decision was choosing between the amazing chocolate pots and the scrummy peach crumble.

Very good food and service. Enjoyed our evening. Very well prepared meat but the vegetables were plain and not very innovative or decorative. Upgrading of acoustic regulation would be appreciated when the restaurant is busy with many customers.

The food was tasty, the service good and very quick. We ate very early (pre-theatre), so the restaurant was quiet. The staff were friendly & helpful. Extensive gluten free menu.

As ever, excellent 10/10 service and knowledge of staff. Wine - excellent. Members of dining party report the steak was "not up to usual côté standards" And The "Fish portion was on the small side". But I was PERFECTLY happy and had the best evening I'd had in a while!

Food was entirely adequate, but service very slow, despite our having mentioned that we were going to the theatre, and choosing from the pre-theatre menu. They had sold out of both the main courses we'd ordered, which the waiter didn't know when we made the order, and he took about a quarter of an hour to come back and tell us; we hadn't ordered first courses, so assumed our food was on its way. Once we'd finished our main courses it took some while to attract the attention of a waiter (we counted four at once who didn't seem to be doing anything; the restaurant was not especially busy at this point) to bring us a dessert menu (had we not been on the two-course special menu, I suspect we wouldn't have bothered, as time was running short by this point), and we checked which of the choices would be quickest to prepare, before making our order. The desserts did arrive quickly enough, but the (different) waiter who brought them made a somewhat sarcastic comment about the speed with which we'd been served; however, he did not bring the bill, which we'd asked for at the same time as we ordered dessert, so had to be asked for this twice. Even then, I had to resort to waving my arm in the air with a credit card in it in order for someone to come and take payment; it would have been easy enough to leave without paying, I suspect, given the level of attention we received from the staff. I had booked at Côte because it is a chain, and I expected they would be well geared to providing a swift service to people going on to the theatre or to concerts (the food is perfectly nice, but it is hardly an eating destination); it was a pretty dire failure in this regard, and to be snide to one's customers when they ask for something quickly is very poor.

this is an excellent restaurant. The food is reliably good. The service is polite and pleasant. We use it regularly when we are having family parties or visits from friends. Also the prices are modest for the excellent cuisine

The food was gorgeous. We had the pre theatre menu and found it excellent value. We had very attentive service too. The only down side was the difficult stairs to the tiny, but very well kept, toilets. Will definitely visit again.

This used to be a regular place for us to eat until it went downhill. We returned on Sunday and I'm pleased to say Cote was back up there again. A lovely meal with excellent service. Well done Cote for pulling it back.

The food and atmosphere is always good and so we return often. It was lovely of the staff to arrange for two massive balloons for my friend's 70th. A fantastic surprise and she loved it. Thank you very much indeed to the very generous and attentive team in Cambridge. Won't be long until we come back!

An excellent meal with excellent service. The Cote Spring menu is creative and the food is prepared to standards that are much higher than other chain restaurants such as Jamie Oliver. I can recommend the scallops and the sea bass on the new Spring specials menu. The restaurant is attractive and well located in the historic centre of Cambridge. Service is friendly but also professional.

Good table and service and consistently good food and good value for the quality offered. Escalope de veau was excellent, as was the duck and this was followed by their "special" crepe chantilly (with strawberries), which was a tasteful way to finish the meal. Only minor complaint was that the side of french beans was undercooked.

Cote is a very well located restaurant with excellent service. A great place to have breakfast or brunch before heading for the punts or sights of Cambridge. Dinner is excellent too; the menu and cooking are so very much ahead of any other chain restaurants. Highly recommended.
