The food was excellent, the service was good. I was a bit disappointed we were offered olive and bread upon taking our seats and then charged £7.00 for this, we were a little bit misinformed there. It was a two course meal with three glasses of wine between the two of us which came to over £70. There was also an optional gratuity of 12.5% added to the bill, which in my opinion is up to the customer to decide whether the service and quality is worth whatever they feel they would like to add on. All in all, it was a nice ambience and very good food.

Four of us eat at Cote once a month. Usually the food and service is first class and worthy of a 5 . however on the evening of Monday 9th the meals were of the usual high French standard but the waitress was somewhat lacking in communication skills,we assumed she must be new.

A warm welcome from the staff preceded a pleasant evening, a tempting selection of dishes to decide between, and overall a very relaxed atmosphere. The only slight drawback is the automatic addition of 10% to the bill. It says optional but is quite misleading.

We really like the atmosphere in this upmarket chain. This week we called in for a pre-theatre dinner and chose the two course option from the extensive menu. The food was good and the service was a good mix of friendly and respectful. Already booked for another trip later in the month.

weve always enjoyed it here as the veggie breakfast is tasty. On the last two occasions the meal has been cold and my son's poached eggs were watery. We will probably give it one more go and then see how it goes as although it is quite good value for money it should still be a certain standard

Food excellent, service the same. However, the sneaky £10 optional tip they added to my bill was infuriating. Customers should be made aware of this when the bill is presented. We ended up paying this extra £10 and tipping our waitress. Left a very sour taste!

Lovely food in a lovely setting. Staff very friendly and efficient. Only quibble I have is the 12.5% gratuity added on to the bill. Thought this was only common practice in London. Never experienced it in Chester before. When mentioned it was taken off immediately by staff.

Nice venue and atmosphere, we were in the lower seating area with the arched roof. Staff were friendly and efficient. We ordered a starter and main meal, both of which were good, the side orders of vegetables were nicely cooked, and the whole meal was very enjoyable. I would use this restaurant again. A young couple sitting next to us were getting uncomfortably familiar with each other but that was outside the control of staff. The bill on electronic payment had a 12.5% voluntary gratuity already added on, which I never like to see and it could be 'overlooked' by a customer. I deselected this and tipped the waitress directly as she was good and efficient. But overall I enjoyed what I think was my first visit to a Cote restaurant.

Loved it! Service and food both excellent. Catching up and chatting after our meal but we weren't rushed out after we had finished eating - even though it was a Saturday night. A very welcome addition to Chester's food scene and will definitely return.

A nice evening at Cote Chester. Food OK though perhaps not worthy of #16 on TA. Friendly service and a very good atmosphere on the Friday evening we visited. Wine seemed a bit expensive but overall good.

Our group of 4 were made to feel very welcome upon arrival and whilst there wasn’t a cushion available to support my wife’s back as she has medical issues we were transferred to a more comfortable seat. I was surprised that dark rum was not available so made do with Havana Club instead. Our choice of starters were good but my wife’s fillet steak was not cooked as requested (medium) and was served rare. It was replaced without hesitation but due to the preparation time everyone else had eaten making it slightly awkward for my wife to eat hers alone. I must point out that the cost of her fillet was refunded but the circumstances did taint would should have been an excellent dining experience.

Excellent evening at Cote. Beautiful place, delicious food, great service ~ albeit a little rushed for taking our initial orders. We went out for my birthday and we received a lovely gesture of a glass of Kir for all our 4 guests ~ a very nice touch. We will definitely be returning.
