Côte Harpenden

Lovely fresh food and excellent service. Will definitely go again.

Best salade nicoise I've had outside Nice. Great Sunday lunch.

Excellent service, especially with complimentary g&ts. Attentive and efficient and delicious food!

Never fails to please Tasty food great atmosphere at a good price

Signed up for the CB newsletter and received a free bottle of wine on first visit. Booked to go after the Classics on the Common event, arrived and greeted immediately, they also knew about the wine offer, which is unusual as in most places they don't seem to know about offers you have received. The server was very friendly as were all the serving staff, of which there were plenty. The food arrived in good time, we had starters and pork belly for main course and was very good. The whole experience was most pleasant, there was a nice ambience and we will be revisiting.

Lovely air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the summer. Great meal of Squid and their wonderful Sea Bass with Fennel, my favourite whenever I eat there. Wine selection good and had a lovely white but blowed if I can remember the name. Good service , very welcoming and nice and quiet. My guest today has booked a table for tomorrow night she was so impressed. The place never fails to please. Perhaps when the schools are back and family groups descent on Harpenden it would not get the tremendous praise I want to heap on it today ?

This was our first visit here, what lovely staff nothing was to much trouble. I had the veggie breakfast which was lovely I am allergic to avocado so they just swapped it for mushrooms instead my husband had the full English. Will definitely be going back and would recommend here to my family and friends.

Great place for a casual supper. Reliably good menu with nice wine. Had a lovely evening - well looked after by attentive waitors

Good food at a good price, very friendly and helpful service.

The food was, as always good. The restaurant was really noisy. There were a couple of disappointing issues with the service.

Visited on a weekday lunchtime. Lovely leisurely lunch with friends. service and food were just right.

The food and service were very good and it was quiet in the restaurant. The staff were very obliging especially as we wanted to change some of the food. I would recommend this restaurant.

We had a lovely evening with good food, wine and friends.

Great service, food and ambience. Catered for a large party including small children, with a lovely candle for a birthday surprise!

The complimentary drinks from the newsletter were great. Loved the lobster. Staff were great.

Excellent service and delicious food Loved the lobster in particular- yum!

Had sea bass and it wasn't cooked properly. Hot in the restaurant had to ask for air conditioning to go on. Uncomfortable not a pleasant eating experience

Poor service, generally a very unsatisfactory experience. I will not book here again.

Really enjoyed our meal... 4 adults but I thought the children’s meals although very tasty were very small!

A nice evening although the service was a little slow at first.

Lack of parking was the only problem as Harpenden was very busy today. My husband’s lobster (starter) was tiny (hence 4 stars) but he enjoyed his fish stew. I had duck pâté followed by salmon - both were delicious. I had planned strawberries (Eton Mess) for dessert but we had to leave after our main course to avoid a parking ticket. The restaurant was empty (hence 4 stars for atmosphere) but it was a weekday lunchtime. We very much enjoyed our lunch though and will be back again soon! Thank you for my complimentary cocktail for regular diners - much appreciated!

Very good and enjoyable nice surroundings and attentive staff well cooked food

Staff helpful and friendly. Food delicious and really good value.

Lovely relaxed lunch, perfectly cooked steak and attention of the waiter was just right.

We celebrated our daughters birthday at cote . We where treated extremely well this made it a very special occasion .

Excellent food and service. Made our anniversary really special. Thank you.

Amazing food and atmosphere!! Had a great breakfast with friends! Highly recommended

We always get a warm welcome. Great and means a lot.

Friendly prompt service, great tasting food. We had a very nice time and enjoyed the atmosphere in our cosy 'booth' seating. Would definitely visit again!

Celebrating 2 friends birthdays. Staff made them feel special. Tasty food, fair price, good service, nice venue. We shall book again.

Staff had very kindly decorated the table for my 11 year old son’s birthday & provided a free welcome drink. Experience was let down by main courses arriving while we were still eating our starters. We later received main courses at an appropriate time.

good food, good service, helpful & friendly staff, attentive but not overbearing. a pleasant experience from start to finish. all asxwe havr come to expect from Cote.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family.

Amazing food and great service a lovely way to spend my birthday thankyou for making my day special

Best restaurant in Harpenden - we are regular customers and always have a good experience especially as I have an allergy which is always catered for

The food here is well cooked and the staff are all excellent. Easily Harpenden’s best new restaurant.

Good food and atmosphere. Would definitely visit again. People very friendly and welcoming.

Always really nice food and the service is very good

Would have been better if the colouring in pictures and crayons were brought to my small grandchildren, at the beginning of the meal instead of at dessert stage!

Usual high standard of food and service from Côte restaurants. A good conversion from a post office. Not as noisy in the restaurant as I was led to believe. Look forward to going again.
