Côte Chester

Food was extremely slow arriving (starters and mains).One apology from the servers but no explanation.The flat bread for starter was overcooked.We were told only toilets upstairs so to sit up there and as one of our party is not very mobile this was very difficult.Surely there must be at least a disabled toilet downstairs.Have been to Cote several times before including other cities but sorry we won't go again.

I have tried many dishes from the menu and they have all been well cooked and very tasty. I struggle sometimes to choose from the menu because there are so many dishes that I have tried and enjoyed. The staff are pleasant and attentive. There are not that many restaurants in Chester that can be trusted to cater for coeliacs but Cotes is one of them. Well worth a try!

We enjoyed the ambiance. The fish soup was very tasty but for me the veal escalope was a little oily. We found the bottles of beer to be a little expensive.

Waited two hours from siting down to receiving our main meals, when the food finally arrived, one of the meals was totally wrong, and the food was pretty average. Nice restaurant and staff were lovely but waiting and the food didn't make up for it unfortunately.

Nice welcome by very friendly staff. Good selection of meals. Lovely belly pork that didn't cost the earth. Good clean restaurant. Thank you Cote Chester.

Lovely food. Good to see a gluten free menu with so many gluten free choices available ~ the creme caramel was fantastic. The Service was quick and attentive.

Superb service to table and cooking as always. The flavours of all the courses were second to none. Well done and thank you. See you again soon.

We were a group of 'locals', but enjoy French food and culture. September specials were delicious. Charming service, excellent food and lovely wine. Main fish courses superb. And the crepes were simply marvellous. A very good evening.

The food (from the lunch menu) and wine were delicious and service was excellent. We liked the fact that still water was provided. We would have liked to have bread on table and to order smaller quantities than a full bottle of house wine (carafes of 1l, 75cl, 50cl and 25cl of house wine are sold in France). Overall, we had a very positive experience and will be back!

Friendly, helpful staff. good food. A lovely experience. We will be going back when we next visit Chester overnight. Our family visiting from Austria really enjoyed it too.

The staff that served us were really lovely. The reason for the score is down to a few disappointments with the food. One of our party ordered the vegetarian sausages which looked very dark brown and we dry. For starter i had the anchovies on flat bread. I specifically asked about what type the anchovies were, to be told they weren't the small oily and salty ones and that they were stored in brine. They were actually the small and salty ones. This dish wpuld be so much nicer with fresh or pickled anchovies not the salty ones. One guest had the confit duck, which came with sauteed potatoes, no other veggies. There needs to be some more veg on plate or advice to order a side. And lastly the salad the other guest ordered, was served in a pyrex bowl and wasn't very well presented. Elements of the meal were lovely, and overall because of the friendliness of the staff, we had a nice evening. I think some further attention to detail on the menu, would elevate the experience to a 5*.

great service excellent food. I rarely like Chain restaurants so i was looking for faults. could not find any! Will be going back soon. Carrots were amazing

Nice restaurant, food nice, did not like the service charge (12.5%) being already added to bill.Easy to find by most city centre attractions, lots of other bars restaurants around.

Very enjoyable. Staff were great. This might even be our new favourite place! I have already been back and again couldn't fault it. Recommended definitely.

I do not usually have the prix fixe, but on this occasion I did. The croquettes were excellent as was the steak frites. Remarkable value. My glass of Bordeaux seemed expensive - but it was good. The service was slick and attentive, but not over so. Will return!

Excellent food and service! We only had a short time to eat and the staff made sure we got everything we asked for without feeling rushed. We be back again!!

The Cote Brasserie chain are really raising the ante in value for money dining out. WE have visited Cote in Shrewsbury 5 times now and on today's visit to Chester we took our daughter to Cote there and were delighted to find the same value for money and service.

The duck confit was excellent the wine was delicious and not over priced. Service was spot on, the only downside is the service charge that is not clearly identified on the menu. I know of it and always ask for it to be removed, and tip separately but at least two groups of dinners were taken aback by it

Had lovely meal. .had chicken liver pate with toasted brioche followed by cod gougons and frites..my husband had tuna capacious then haddock which was little salty but still nice

I had the fixed price menu. It was very good value and lots of choice. Good service in lovely surroundings. Definitely going back. Have already recommended it to friends.

Great service, atmosphere and food. As always. Would highly recommend. Lunch time menu was great value and wine is reasonable too. First time eating at the Chester restaurant and just love the building.

I picked Cotes Brasserie after reading several excellent reviews on Trip Advisor and we weren't disappointed. I originally booked a table for 5.00pm but the play we were seeing was late finishing so I rang the restaurant to explain that we would be a little late - not a problem. When we arrived, we were shown upstairs to a spacious dining area and ushered into a booth and offered drinks - our waiter was fabulous, very friendly and accommodating, recommending drinks and food. Unfortunately, I didn't get his name. He recommended the fougasse to start and it was as delicious as he said it would be - soft and fluffy, garlicky, buttery and herby. After this, we had 3 items off the lighter mains part of the menu - a tuna Nicoise, a chicken & walnut salad and risotto vert - and also the 1/2 Breton chicken with frites and french beans. All the food was delicious - clean plates all round! With a little room left, we all had desserts and coffee. With a few drinks, the total bill for 4 of us came to £122 - this included a 12% gratuity, which is of course discretionary. However, the wait staff had more earned it so we were happy to leave it on the bill. We thought this constituted great value, given what we had eaten and the service we had received. Thank you Cotes Brasserie - we will be back.

Very good value set price menu. Delicious. Service adequate. Annoyed to find after leaving that we'd paid an inclusive high service charge. Would prefer to pay by choice and amount I deem suitable at the time.

A great place with good food, will definately return. Next time will try to be a bit more adventurous with menu choices even though a few dishes on the menu seemed a little over-priced

Beautiful concept complimented by top draw service and food. Realistically priced with set menu at £10.95 before 7pm. It's sublime!! The food is predominantly Frech themed, as you'd expect so don't expect a Pizza

Great meal, ordered off the birthday menu which had an excellent selection, the steak tartare was amazing, as was the duck. The free champagne was also welcomed

Super friendly staff members, lovely ambience, delicious food and most importantly, both daughters (ages 6,11) had and ate all of their food...... Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back.

Food and service excellent, enjoyed atmosphere. Good value for quality food, and we have booked again. Have given 6 stars. Can't say more than that.

As always great food at a good price. Lovely staff and very relaxed atmosphere. My friend and I were left to chat as long as we wanted to which was great.

We love Cote, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious, especially recommended is the Tuna Nicoise Salad...the best!! We have been to Chester and Exeter Cote and the ambience in both is just right!!

Good service,nice food...pleasant environment,friendly staff,well organised place especially on race day as it was full...well worth a visit....booked online otherwise you'd have no chance on race day..

Amazing food, friendly and professional staff that had a good knowledge of wine menu. Having visited 3 different cote restaurants, every one has been excellent. Can't rate highly enough - our favourite place to eat!

Lovely setting, lovely food, lovely staff, what more could you ask for. The only negative was the service charge, it was voluntary and so we ignored it & left our own tip

Excellent menue, great cooking and flavours, pleasant service made for an enjoyable dining-out experience. Our favourite venue during the week especially, as the lunchtime menu offers especially good value.

We were welcomed straight away the staff were courteous and professional the food and drinks was excellent. The restaurant is lovely and in a great location.

Excellent service - experience only slightly spoilt by one of our main courses coming a long time after the others and being a bit under-par. Otherwise, lovely food and wine and really great staff. They knocked the late meal off the bill too so good customer service. I would go back.

Fantastic food, really attentive service. Would recommend to friends and family without any hesitation. I would go as far to say it's the best meal I've had in chester.

Very good food. Would advise ordering sides of vegetables with the mains. Fixed price menu is good value for money. Friendly, attentive staff. Will definitely return.

Stopped by tonight for an early evening meal. Service, food and presentation were all excellent as usual and competitively priced. Dined here many times and never disappointed.

Lovely restaurant with a great ambience. We chose the 3 course fixed price menu, several options to choose from and all the food we selected was delicious. The staff were courteous throuout the evening and ensured we had a pleasant time celebrating our wedding anniversary.

Impressed on my first visit. Starter was amazing, Mains and desserts were ok and service was brilliant. Will definitely go again soon! David - Chester

First visit - thanks to gift cards! Food excellent, service very courteous and surroundings great. Just one niggle, it is better to leave gratuities to the customers discretion rather than expecting the customer to ask for it to be reduced if the 12.5% added was thought to be somewhat excessive (or not sufficient). This aspect we found unsatisfactory and will have an impact on our decision on future visits.

Had two course lunch which was excellent value. Well cooked and good service. Restaurant was very busy so really pleased with the overall experience. Well worth a visit.

Food was decent without being great. 12.5% gratuity added to bill - supposedly voluntary but no mention made when paying. Won't be going back for that reason, there are better places to eat too.

Great food and service, never fails to impress. Fantastic to have staff who have the knowledge of what gluten free actually means especially for those of us who are coeliac as eating out can be a 'risk' but not in Cote. It would be lovely to see a gluten free childrens menu so many venues forget there are thousands of children who are coeliacs (my son included) and they want to eat similar food to others if you are eating out as a group.

Slight mistake in bringing the excellent prawns starter before we had finished the sourdough & olives. Otherwise the service & food was excellent. Arrived on Chester Races day, but totally looked after with a first class table to avoid the exuberant racegoers upstairs. A kind though & an act that will bring us back. Thank you.

This is well worth a visit The ambiance.service and food and drink quality were good at a reasonable price.try it out it was good fun

First time at this wonderful new restaurant in Chester. A Friday eve with friends visiting from Altrincham. They were delighted when I mentioned where we were Dining . We had excellent service, delicious food, and a lovely evening I would highly recommend.

We had a lovely evening , the restaurant has a very relaxed feelig the staff were very attentive ,food was good , We will be going back

Good variety on menu, the fixed price menu is excellent value for money, friendly service and made to feel welcome - will return again !
