We had excellent service. The food was of a very high quality. Value for money was amazing . We were served our food quickly. If you only had an hour for lunch then this is the place to come. You are served quickly if you want to be or take as long as you like. They do not hassle you to move on.

We came to Cote for lunch today to celebrate my husband, Bruce's birthday. (mine is later this month on 29th July) It was a most enjoyable, relaxed experience and as always in the past the food was excellent. You really 'tick all the boxes' in every aspect for us. Thank you

I had lunch with a friend at Côte in Edinburgh. We enjoyed our meal from the set menu along with a glass of house wine each. We were advised that we would find it less noisy if we took a table in the front section near the entrance but the conversations from the nearby tables were still rather loud.

Disappointed that there were no mussels available. Vegetarian dishes (cous cous) was really not very good at all. Pepapers and courgettes were practically raw, aubergine was over-salted, cous cous lacredit flavour and was cold. However I was not charged for my meal. Service was good. Sitting near airports conditioning meant it was rather cold. It blew the candle on our table out!

The food was very good and well presented. The atmosphere was pleasing and comfortable and the service was attentive, prompt and polite. I object, however, to an automatic addition to the bill of 12 1/2% even if the restaurant says in the small print it's removable. It gives no incentive to the staff to maintain a good service and so encourage the customer to tip accordingly.

A pleasant lunch. Welcoming, helpful staff - with curious (faux?) French accents. Wondeful food and I like the monthly changing menu. Reasonable prices and portions. Would recommend.

It was a Sunday evening so perhaps they can be forgiven that three of the main courses were not available. Given the reduced choice what we had was very well presented and tasted wonderful.

Experience was not up to par, service average food reasonable but overpriced. Place was busy but tables to close together. Had to reorder drinks as they were forgotten and waiting staff more interested in chatting to each other than attending to customers always a bad sign when the service charge is automatically put on the bill.... why would the staff overreach??

Good food, excellent service. Prefer to be in front part of restaurant or middle. Back lacks atmosphere. Object to 12.5% optional service charge added. Although it is optional still feel it should only be 10% at most. Prefer to give tip as I feel fit even although I think service here is excellent.

Automatic service charge of 12.5% added to the bill for a table of 4 is a little presumptuous, especially when the service does't necessarily warrant anything higher than the standard 10%.

Excellent choices on today's table d'hote menu- well cooked and delicious! Both my friend and I were well pleased with lunch and will return. Maybe a small chunk of brown bread would have completed the fresh asparagus soup? Maybe a couple of new potatoes could have been served with the sea bream? Just a small touch to enhance the dishes. excellent service too, thank you all.

Really good value for money lunch and good choice. Only downside is the service charge added to bill. Did not notice until after we had paid or we would have asked for it to be removed and we would have added our own gratuity.

Service very good and friendly but I ordered a coffee to have when I finished dessert but it didn't come. It was on the bill so the charge was taken off with apologies from the staff. Also optional service charge was added on without asking us first which I resent. I opted not to pay and left a tip instead. The food was great, choice excellent, we had a lovely table and we really enjoyed our Fathers Day treat.

Have been to this restaurant many times before.... The service was good wit the exception of an overfamiliar host/manager. The food was simply not as good as previous experiences - specifically the main courses... we the chicken and the fish stew. The Muscles were delicious but do not come with any bread! It is one of the few Edinburgh restaurants that add a service charge on!
