As usual excellent service and food. We love Cote. We have been eating at Cote for many years and are treated as valued customers. We are reminded of our visits to France.

This was our third visit and we were delighted yet again. The complimentary Kir royales were a lovely start to the meal. We were dining at 17:00 so it wasn't too busy and the atmosphere was stylish and relaxing. The service was very good and the food arrived quickly. The food was really tasty and beautifully presented. I look forward to future visits!

A little disappointed at this visit as my husband ordered a cote burger medium cooked with cheese and it arrived with no cheese a d very well done so they replaced it for one with cheese but again very well done. Although they took the price for the cheese off we had our meals at different times. I must pay credit though to how courteous the staff were, and very professional.

The staff are always polite and helpful. Even when the restaurant is busy they still find time to give advice regarding food and wine. The set lunch menu is always good value and as it changes every month it never gets boring.

Over the past year I have visited cote on several occasions and have always experienced sumptuous food and excellent service. In my books it is one of the top restaurants in Cardiff for enjoying a leisurely meal with family and friends.

We enjoy Cote. Food is always good, although we feel that some of the food, especially the dauphinoise potatoes is a little over salted. This is not unique to Cardiff but seems prevalent in all the Cote restaurants we have used (Dorking, Cobham). The service is always excellent, speedy without being overbearing and attentive.

Good choice of menu although my meal arrived at least 5 minutes after the other people in my party. Waiter apologised and said he had forgotten to put my order into the chef.

Lovely food and very good service.Disappointingly the first coffee I was served was only warm and not hot. However this was replaced straight away with a lovely hot one as soon as I mentioned it. We all chose from the early evening menu and found there was plenty of choice.

The restaurant was busy; but failed to get check back on both my main starter and main course. Unfortunately they both had issues (burnt/overcooked) Eventually the manger addressed the problem and my meal was refunded without drama and I received an extra glass of wine. The team need to focus on singles/couples as much as they do bigger parties which seemed to get all the attention!

We had a great meal at Cote Brasserie Cardiff Central, good choice of food, which was delicious, the staff were amazing and a particular mention must go to Solly, who was extremely helpful and also very knowledgable regarding the various wines, nothing was too much trouble for him. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Disasterous. Table had been booked through Cote's own website and confirmation received. I'd printed the confirmation and presented it to the maite 'd on arrival But they would not hour their Reward scheme of a free bottle of wine without some code. (No mention of this requirement on their website!) I had not taken my mobile phone and therefore my fellow guests - my partner and a couple of friends - were obliged to try to access my e-mail account to try and locate this mysterious cote. The maitre 'd was patient and sympathetic. He went to have a word with the Manager to see whether all this was necessary. (Since I had registered for the Reward scheme surely it was an easy matter for them to be able to check my authenticity by checking their own website!) The Manager apparently refused and we were offered 1 glass of wine as compensation. The whole debacle lasted 35mins or more. Eventually the code was found and we got to see a menu. The meal was pleasant enough, but what was intended as a nice, quiet meal with friends (who are currently undergoing a stressful, sad time due to terminal illness in the family) was effectively ruined - completely overshadowed by those 30-40 minutes of beaurocratic harassment. At no point did the Manager show his face to offer any help, sympathy or apology. However, I want to emphasise that the maitre 'de and the serving staff were exemplary in his courtesy and efficiency under very trying circumstances.

The food was very good and the staff pleasant and friendly. I found the rewards system very confusing though. It would possibly stop me booking there again using this system.

Lovely atmosphere with helpful, attentive staff who nevertheless let us take our time. Chose set 2 course menu and selection was both reasonable and tempting House wine was great as was the coffee. My only niggle was that the main course of grilled chicken was slightly tough. The chocolate pot dessert with crème fraîche was to die for...... On the whole a really enjoyable experience - we will definitely be returning.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. Food was very tasty, staff are well organised when dealing with gluten free meals. Only criticism would be level of noise in the restaurant making conversation quite difficult.

We went to the Cote Brasserie in the early evening before a concert. As it was around 17.30 and a Monday evening it was almost deserted. The waiter was really friendly and had plenty of time for a chat which made dinner a pleasurable experience. We opted for the early evening menu which at £12.95 for three courses is really good value with more than enough choice. The food was tasty and portion size ample and would recommend this restaurant highly.

Cotes was quiet on Sunday afternoon. Just the thing for a leisurely late lunch after several hours 'shopping' in Cardiff. The food was great and the wife really appreciated the gluten free menu, including the Specials.
