I am a regular customer having been to tge chain 3 times in tge last couple of weeks and while the service was excellent as usual there were a couple of issues which while dealt with satisfactorily slightly marred our experience. The cocktail offered in the deal was unavailable but a suitable alternative was offered. The pork belly crackling served was soggy and limp but when mentioned was taken away and crisped up but should not have been served that way in the first place. The frozen berries dessert did not have enough hot chocolate sauce to melt the berries but more was given when requested. On the whole this experience was unusual and not what we have come to expect from Cote

Excellent food and value at lunchtime. It has become one of our regular eateries! I like the fact that you are never rushed out. The staff are pleasant and somehow they get the timing just right.

We booked for Mother's’ Day requesting our favourite table. Arrived to find it booked and ready for us and then followed a delightful lunch, delicious food - excellent and varied choices - and a glass each of kir royale. The staff were charming and efficient and we have to say it was one of the best lunches at Cote, ever. Thank you thank you for a very special meal!

Excellent service by our waitress fully deserving of the 12.5% service. Restaurant is well located, nice ambience with good temperature and music. The mussels starter wasn’t as fresh as it could have been and felt some mussels had dried out. Calamari was pleasant and a nice change to be breaded. Seafood linguini was ok couldn’t detract any lobster jus and would have been improves my more sauce, again felt volume made rather than cooked fresh.

Another excellent meal at Côte. Reliable as ever, with a few new and seasonal choices to add to the mix. My friend enjoyed his escalope de veau and I had the familiar duck breast. Complimentary glass of gin and tonic added to the enjoyment.

Very friendly staff who were understanding of the requirements for my wife who is a coeliac, ensuring that all food was served separately and labeled for peace of mind. They were quick and attentive. Nice atmosphere and excellent food. I would definitely go back when I'm next in Edinburgh

The starter of warm gorgonzola salad was poor, the croutons were stale, after eating one bite, I asked to be replaced. There was no apology, or I will let the chef know, the statement to me was,' would you like another, but it will be exactly the same' so in other words, the chef after receiving a complaint, would still continue to serve! Also when taken away, I ordered a replacement soup, there was no apology and when the soup was brought back, no apology and I had to sit and eat my food alone, whilst my friends had all finished. To add insult to injury, no deduction was made. They also add a 12.5% gratuity automatically, in such an instance I would like to chose, if I pay a gratuity, when there is a problem. When we left there was no real goodbye.

As always our food was great. On this occassion we were seated upstairs. We felt we were not attended to as much as we normally would be when seated downstairs......my husband even went downstairs to find someone! We did get an apology. We are at cote Edinburgh a lot so hopefully this won't happen again.

Myself and 5 others were at the restaurant Saturday night. Our waiter was excellent, she was very pleasant and helpful....we were quite demanding lol! nothing was too much trouble for her. Food was absolutely amazing. I had crab for starters, then Lamb and finally Crème caramel. all beautifully served and prepared. We also had a complimentary blood orange cocktail which was also amazing. Cant wait to return here. Thank you Helen

Had dinner at Côte Edinburgh last night for the first time. We loved everything about it! The menu was fabulous, difficult to decide what to eat due to excellent variety of choice. The food did not disappoint, everything was delicious. Every member of staff was welcoming and very attentive. I also loved the decor, and felt that I was sitting in an authentic French brasserie. This will definitely be a regular haunt!

Excellent service. Quality and presentation of food absolutely perfect. The team were attentive, friendly and nothing was any trouble. They were full of energy and understood the importance of delivering excellent customer service. My only negative comment would be mobile phones should be banned or at the very least put on silent. This is no fault of the staff but reflects the rudeness and ignorance of customers who seem to think it’s acceptable to carry on a pointless conversation that is no interest to customers who are trying to have a conversation with each other.

Another excellent meal at Cote Brasserie Edinburgh. The lunch set menu is incredible value at £11.90 for two courses. Complimentary filtered water was provided and the staff couldn't have been more attentive without being in any way intrusive. Thoroughly recommended.
