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.

Faultless. Absolutely brilliant food and service. My dad asked for a certain drink but they didn't have it. So the waiter went out of his way to source it from elsewhere. It was a lovely meal. Such friendly service. Will be recommending to friends.

Absolutely lovely restaurant. Food was delicious and the service was very good too. Would not hesitate to visit again and thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking of visiting One little niggle however - booked on line to take advantage of the restaurants" June offer" which was a complimentary glass of Kir Royale on arrival. Unfortunately I had to ask the waitress for this as it wasn't forthcoming and it then appeared on our bill at the end of the evening!! The restaurant did remedy the bill without fuss, however I felt that the waitresses should have known about the offer and which guests taking this up!

Excellent meal at the new Cote Chester. We have been to the Liverpool and Manchester branches several times and this new Cote matched the the wonderful standards set at the other branches. It was busy the night we dined, but everything ran smoothly and efficiently. The staff were perfect and seemed genuinely interested in you having a brilliant experience. We will return for sure

Both my husband and I were looking forward to the May menu. We love the fact that the menu changes monthly: not fully, but 2-3 courses on it. The food was delicious: I had steak tartare and lamb rump; my husband ordered black pudding and pork belly. The souces with both main courses were thick, shiny and flavoursome. The waitress was good and knowledgeable about the wine. However, we think that the manager did not foresee how busy the restaurant would be on a Bank Holiday Sunday: even though only half of the restaurant was booked and used, people without booking were sent away and there was a long wait for food. Excuses of kitchen being overloaded were made but no compensation was offered. Our wait was 30 min-ish for the starter but the table of 4 dining next to us waited for an hour. So, delicious food and we will be going back but the service let it down a bit.

Friendly staff as usual, great service and good food. The fish cake with poached egg and spinach was really tasty. A shame that my friends egg yolk wasn't runny but it didn't ruin her meal so we didn't like to mention. We still enjoyed our food.

we have been to several Cote's before and so nothing was a surprise and we enjoyed our lunch but the steak was very peppered in comparison with other cote steaks and too much for my daughter. The salad and crab were lovely, we will go again

Very good service and excellent food. Staff were helpful and attentive when required. We ordered from the a la carte menu and weren't disappointed. There were four of us and we all had different starters and main courses. Each of us were delighted with our choices. A good bottle of merlot complemented all the food. Can't wait to go back.

I do like the quality of the food at Cote; perfectly cooked, beautifully presented, with just a little touch of 'je ne sais quoi'. And the staff are very pleasant, the surroundings clean, a pleasant atmosphere in which to eat and converse.

The Food was excellent. Waiters were very quick to bring menu and wine. However, we should have asked for a little more time after the main course as we felt somewhat hurried into pudding. We will return though as the fish pie was divine as was the iced berries with hot white chocolate sauce and my partner enjoyed his crème caramel.

2nd visit to this fantastic restaurant. Staff, ambience and food as good as ever. The food was delicious. Cote is, in our opinion, one of the very best restaurants in Chester. It is at the top of our list for fine dining and quality. So glad they have established themselves in Chester.

We dined as a party of four on 20th May. This was our first visit to a Cote Brasserie restaurant and our first impressions as we entered the building were very favourable. The receptionist was polite and helpful and showed us to our table immediately. Our waitress was very polite and very efficient, the menu was excellent as was the food and wine and the prices were very competitive. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience and we would certainly return in the future.
