The food was very nice and not too expensive, the restaurant has been done up very nicely however it was very noisy and at point difficult to have a conversation.
Very good service and food excellent. Some language problems but matter quickly corrected .Will definitely go again In fact we are taking our best friends next time
The restaurant was very quiet with little atmosphere. The food was good but the alcohol free beer was very overpriced and the 12.5% service charge was over the top. I know I needn't have paid it but it was easier to do so. I shall not be going back any time soon!
All staff trying really hard in a difficult site where kitchen displaced from eating area up side stairs . Having said that CB Hale charges automatic 10% gratuity, for which I would not expect indifferent pasta, unripe melon and ham, and tuna (nicoise) mostly tartare and not seared at all on outside. The whole experience doesn't really feel like French cuisine - sorry but B+ only
Good food, good value set menu, nice relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Staff seem a bit inexperienced and disorganised and service is sometimes very slow.
Had a lovely lunch with friends. Food was delicious and service was excellent. We had a really relaxing time. The sea bream was lovely and the side dish of dauphin potatoes was great.
Really attentive service, the staff are all very knowledgable and courteous. The food is consistently good and we had another really nice night out! Thank you so much!
The food was as always first class and I would never omit having my creme caramel dessert - for me it is a must. It is always enjoyable, made particularly so by the pleasant and friendly staff.
Our waiter was very personable and chatted The food was good. The restaurant is clean. I'm not sure I agree with the tip being added
Delicious meal. When we arrived we ordered 2 glasses of champagne. The waiter, who was delightful asked if we were celebrating something. It was our silver wedding anniversary, son they very kindly gave them to us complimentraky - such a nice thought. The meal was delicious, the atmosphere good and the staff delightful. We shall certainly be making another visit there.
In addition to the a la carte menu, which always provides dishes that are well above average in terms of quality and value for money, the July monthly specials included a truly excellent yellow fin tuna carpaccio which we shared and a cod lion in ham which my Wife said was very good. The staff were, as always, efficient, friendly and attentive.
Excellent service although the restaurant was very quiet. The food was excellent with the Haddock and fish soup particularly good . Complimentary Kir Royale was a very nice touch.
I really like this restaurant. It's unpretentious and relaxed. The food is tasty and nicely presented. The staff are excellent and fully engaged and in tune with their diners. A lovely evening. Thank you.
Super as always. Lovely food. Pleasant service. Will definitely return in the near future. Thank for a great evening By the way the bottle do red was most welcome.
The lovely French waitress was very attentive & polite...The portion size of the set menu was more than adequate. Best fish cake I've ever had as it contained so many meaty pieces of fish!
The food was flavoursome and the staff pleasant. Portions are not large but adequate. Fairly pricey with 3 courses and one glass of wine being £40 per person.
We are frequent visitors to Cote and its friendly staff and well-cooked food ensure we will return. No exception on this visit with adequate vegetarian/fish dishes for mains and excellent desserts ensuring an enjoyable time
It was ok the food was good but the service Was mixed as some of the sides we ordered never arrived and we had to ask a number of times for a side order of bread . I think the waiter was new ?
Always enjoy it at Cote and did again this time. Staff could not do enough, but think the chef needs to perfect his serving of PINK minute steak. Staff very apologetic but it didn't stop us enjoying our evening
Very tasty and pleasant staff also good to have complimentary water as much as you like. Also enjoyed the complimentary Kia royal for two people.
Absolutely brilliant evening. Delightful service, glorious food, we all struggled to choose: so many dishes appealed. We managed puds, chocolate mousse and creme caramel very special. Hot chocolate to top a fantastic meal off.
This was a lunch time service so although restaurant was not busy the ambience was inviting. Been here before and as last time service was efficient and friendly. Food was also of a very high standard. Will return. Recommended .
Great food - as always! Professional and friendly staff. Ten out of ten. There is something for everyone on the menu - I have yet to visit a Cote restaurant that hasn't been good!
My husband and I chose 5 different dishes. Each one was full of flavour, well presented and great value. The staff were smart, friendly and efficient. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.
We often dine at Cote on our frequent visits to London, they are our favourite restaurants. So we were delighted when one opened on our doorstep in Hale. Our visit last night lived up to our expectations, food excellent, service impeccable, ambiance perfect.
Had another lovely meal. The staff were 'super' attentive, perhaps too much so, we were interrupted several times to check everything was okay and if we wanted anything else.
Excellent service, attentive staff and lovely food. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Good food. Had the lunch menu which had a good choice.
very enjoyable meal,,good food and very friendly staff,first visit to Hale . Enjoyed several meals in Manchester branch..will be returning in future. Nothing else to say!!!!
Nice atmosphere; attentive staff. Enjoyed the food; we had fillet steak, but their understanding of the 'how well cooked' ratings is quite different from ours: my 'medium' was to me rare, and my wife's 'medium - well done' was more like medium-rare. Also we felt it presumptious that they routinely add a 12.5% service charge to the bill, obliging you to ask if you want it reduced or removed.
Food excellent but no bar area to wait in so don't arrive early. Service was good though a bit of a wait initially. Overall we liked it and would definitely go back.
Food was very simple and bland . Not worth the price at all . staff are nice and attentive but you unfortunatley its quiet expensive for what you get
Excellent food and service. Only downside was that we could hardly hear each other's conversation due to an extremely noisy party at an adjacent table. Nothing you can do about that but I would be more careful where we sit next time
Great service , great atmosphere food was fabulous defiantly going back for more already recommended to friends and family booked on line in seconds confirmation straight back
Had a lovely time, the food and service was great. Good value early diners menu. I had the sea bass which was perfectly cooked. The berries and white chocolate were a lovely desert.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We had a young baby with us and the staff were lovely with her. We would definitely come back.
Booking a table via the website was easy. Our third visit to the Hale branch, after I had a meal in London Bridge venue last autumn and then found a local branch had opened. Very good meal, excellent friendly service, good value.
When we arrived at the reservation time, it seemed very busy. Greeting on arrival is so important. Its sets the scene. Very pleasant waiter dealt with us, but he was obviously trying to juggle many tasks! I know we were there on a bank holiday evening, but, ALL the specials were sold out/run out. Also no fillet steak or tuna left!!! Then the wine we selected was also sold out!!! Come on, not good enough. We were confident that it would be good as we have often eaten in a Cote, various locations. The meal we had was lovely, and the service good. We will return for sure, maybe not on a bank holiday though!!!!
Clean, spacious, comfortable. Friendly , polite and well- presented staff Not overly busy. Menu choices for all guests. Good portion sizes, well cooked dishes Good drinks selection Reasonable prices
The food was excellent, the service faultless and the wine reasonably priced; all-in all a splendid meal. We shall be back to Hale as well as going to your Islington branch. Many thanks.
Very good service and lovely food. Server was very attentive and enjoy the water on the table automatically. The French Onion soup was to die for.
