We had a thoroughly enjoyable long lunch with some friends at Cote Cambridge on Sunday. The food was really great and the friendly and efficient service helped make the whole experience positive, thank you.
My request to have a table close to the window made when I booked was disregarded. Our table was to the back of the restaurant with a medium sized window, in an open cubicle setting. When I mentioned this to the person who guided us to the table, she said you do have a window ! The acoustics were bad and as a person with hearing difficulties it took away the pleasure of enjoying a meal with my family. One of my guests main meal was returned undercooked (swordfish) and not returned, ( further cooked) until the rest of us had finished eating our main meal. Service unfriendly. We have visited previously and enjoyed the visit, this was complete contrast
Come here often and usually love it. Tonight bought some relatives for their first visit- shown to table next to a wall at back of restaurant (despite asking for window / front table if possible) then left for 20mins without any service. So embarrassing as I’d told them all how great this place was. The front of house lady was abrupt and rude unlike previous staff I’ve known (she accused us of not requesting window and later actually bothered to read the request and apologised). Usually love this place it’s my go to in Cambridge - often go 2-3 times per month but let down today
Waiting, timing and food all very good Thank you very much
We consistently experience good food and good service- that’s why we keep coming back. Thank you Cotes!
Great lunch for children and adults. Efficient and friendly service, delicious food. Good for all day dining. Mussels, steak and burgers all hugely enjoyed - washed down with lemonade and French75’s for the adults! Highly recommended.
good location. friendly service. bearing in mind it was after 3pm so abit of a late lunch for two... I wouldn't say food was nice and hot...the Sunday special was a good price and tasty.. perhaps slightly on the small portion side the accompaniments ....... the server was very attentive that was until he sat down on the table opposite for either a meeting or a late lunch, or his break (I couldn't quite see)... but leaving us without any help until eventually flagging someone down... and the table next to us similar situation... all in all it was pleasant not fantastic... I love trying out Cote whenever I visit a new town but I think in Cambridge I would try somewhere else next time...hope this helps
As usual our visit was excellent. Good food served by nice people who combined to make a very comfortable experience and contributed to the pleasant ambiance. The complementary Blood Orange Martinis were a bonus. It is reassuring to know that other Cotes are just as good be it Bluewater, Norwich, Marylebone or Richmond. We would always trust cote when visiting a new town. W. G. Peters, Cambridge.
Attentive service. Excellent menu choice. Food was promptly and very attractively served. Pre-theatre menu represented good value for money. Overall a very pleasant and satisfying experience. We will be back!
Food and drinks were fabulous as always . Service was prompt but main course was served before bread was ready. We were also charged for complimentary drinks unfortunately.
friendly and helpful staff. good location, lovely food good value for money
Really enjoyable experience from start to finish. I went for my birthday dinner with my wife. The chicken mousse pate was really tasty and the calamari was some of the best that I've tasted. We both had the chicken main course which was excellent (except for the rocket which we don't like). We washed it down with a very reasonably priced Viognier white. Slightly disappointed that we didn't have room for a dessert. Definitely be going back.
Delicious breakfast and attentive service. As ever, service, atmosphere and quality of food was excellent. Great value fro a delicious breakfast served in lovely surroundings by professional staff.
Very good meal, pleasant surroundings and attentive staff. Meal served in a very timely manner.
The dishes were hot, well presented and delicious. The staff were most attentive, particularly the lady manageress. The Macon Villages also was excellent. We finished in good time to go to the ADC Theatre nearby.
Brilliant meal as ever, our waitress was so attentive, friendly and helpful. We've eaten here on numerous occasions and have never left feeling disappointed. It make's a trip into Cambridge so much more enjoyable!
Third time at a CB and great. Menu, table, and serving staff spot on. The use of quality ingredients well cooked is clear. Well trained knowledgeable and personable waitress.
Fabulous Sunday lunch and atmosphere. Brilliant customer service, staff were attentive and, as always, helpful. Thank you Cote Cambridge see you soon Looking forward to sampling your summer specials
Excellent food and the fixed price menus are good value. The service was pretty good until we needed to pay the bill. We were in a hurry to get to a concert and the restaurant was suddenly very busy. I eventually went up to the counter to pay. I received an apology for keeping me waiting and the optional service charge was removed from the bill without me asking - which seemed a perfectly acceptable response. We've eaten there on a number of occasions before and this is the first time the service level has slipped a little. We'll certainly be eating there again.
Lovely meal and a nice table. We all enjoyed a very pleasent evening, many thanks. Could have been a little quieter but overall we well pleased. Will visit again soon.
Excellent it was my birthday meal n we got a Complimentary glass of bubbly plus a candle n decorations on my pudding very happy with the service and the food was amazing just a tad to much rosemary for my liking
My family and I enjoyed a delicious meal with attentive service. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her birthday celebration. Would certainly return and I would have no hesitation in recommending.
The food was really nice. The service was quick yet professional and we were made to feel very welcome.
Good greeting compared with previous meeting. Food good. Helpful staff. Go there a lot. Quite a wait for sweets but it was really busy so understood!
We really enjoyed our meal at Cote Cambridge , good portion size. The staff are always welcoming and attentive, nothing is too much trouble for them.
Cote is once again proving to be my favourite restaurant in Cambridge. The quality of the food last evening was astoundingly good, the highlight being the cherries served with the duck breast. The staff are so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful -nothing is too much bother for them.
Good as usual! We are regular customers and just love our favourites: calamari Fritti, steak frites, mousse au chocolat, and the free fresh water. We can always rely on the food and also the service.
Good as usual ,quiet but it was mid afternoon so to be expected
Nice, cosy little restaurant. Prompt and attentive service...a very pleasant evening. Vegetarian options a little limited, but the ones we tried were very pleasant. Would recommend.
We always have a great time at Cote Cambridge, with its variety of delicious food and welcoming, accommodating staff. It’s lovely how it’s atmosphere changes according to the time of day: buzzy brasserie at lunchtime to darker, candlelight romantic dinner venue. The Manager, Monika, is fantastic at her job.
Everything excellent as usual. That's why we are regular customers.
Good service and good quality food. Love the place .
Good overall, though service was slow to begin. Peas with main course (in separate dish) were warm rather than hot. Error on bill too, corrected when pointed out.
Had a very nice meal - good food, wide choice, attentive service.
We always enjoy lunch at Cote, from the staff , the food and wine, always all first class
Service was slow & forgot my drinks order. The dessert of frozen berries wasn’t worth what was charged for it: otherwise an okay meal. Toilet was upstairs via some very steep stairs.
1st time here and certainly will not be the last... Great Food, Friendly Waiters and lovely atmosphere...
Great food and service as always. Cote Cambridge never disappoints. I always leave happy and feel well looked after by the amazing team at Cote. Thank you.
My family always enjoys a meal at Côte Brasserie. There is a good choice of menus and dishes and the cuisine and service are good. Also the mosphere in the restaurant is relaxing and friendly.
The food was fine (but small portions for pasta) Service was quite slow and the servers were slightly rude (but they might not be intentional). We wanted to give a surprise for our friend who had a birthday but the servers put all the utensils and knives before the cake was served so there was no surprise. There was no water refill the whole time and we waited for 20 mins for the bill to come.
