Good value for money. Pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely come again with the family.
Amazing food, service and ambience. Would highly recommend to others.
Usual good food and very good service, still a pity that it is very noisy. Could some softer material be put on the end wall above the booths.
Excellent service & great food. Our steaks were lovely & cooked to perfection.
We had a great time on our first , but not last , visit tour Cote Harpenden. Really liked the decor and the food but it was the staff who made the difference. Very attentive and kind.
Cote in Harpenden offer a great brasserie menu and really nice service... they are always trying to please ... I had a meal in a very expensive restaurant near to Lemsford at the weekend and experienced the opposite approach. Well done the Cote team.
We all enjoyed our meals I had the sea bass I found the to be very dry otherwise, it was very enjoyable.
Excellent food - really enjoyed my prawn starter, fillet steak and ratatouille side. And the wine was lovely too. However, the tables are far too close together. The waiting staff were struggling to serve our table without disturbing the one next to us, and it's hard to have a conversation with other people so close.
Fantastic range of dishes especially for Coeliacs and kids. Excellent food quality, restaurant decor and value for money. Great service too. What's not to like? Restaurant chains don't get any better than Cote!
Disappointed with my birthday visit there .. was kept waiting so long for pudding the manager gave us coffee complimentary. Have been before and had a wonderful experience so extremely disappointed .
Food was very good and well presented. Waiting staff were of mixed caliber, overall I would go back as it is a lovely venue.
Much improved sound absorption. Good range of food, keenly priced. Menu complex, not all items are on the menu causing uncertainty when requiring an item from one menu (whitebait) which did not appear on the main menu. Resolved by the manager but this should not have been necessary. Not keen on including 12.5% gratuity as standard. Gratuity is an expression of satisfaction with service not to be taken for granted.
A quiet time, early lunch on a Saturday at end of bank holiday week. Food and service very good as always in our experience and friends introduced to Cote for first time were impressed.
Delicious breakfast! Very good service, would definitely recommend. The set price cooked breakfast menu with juice and tea or coffee is very good value for money too!
Great food, excellent service and some really nice touches for a birthday celebration. Was a recommendation from a friend and would also recommend. Many thanks!
Excellent food great value for money, will definitely be back.
The two and three-course set menu options are very well priced and offer an excellent selection to suit all tastes and checking table availability couldn't be easier.
Always a great evening. Free cocktail was delicious. Will be back very soon.😍 staff always great. Calamari the best! Lovely atmosphere, my fave in Harpenden
Perfect Easter Sunday lunch - lovely atmosphere, busy without being too noisy. Service excellent throughout. And food very good - we both had the chicken special and it was delicious. As was the French 75!
Great experience, quick booking process. Excellent food. This was our fifth visit and probably the best. We hope the level os kept for the following visits
We use this restaurant fairly regularly. We are always pleasently received and the care given throughout from the staff is always first class. The food is always very good
Since the work has been done on the ceiling to reduce the noise, we have found it much improved. As for the food, ,service ,atmosphere and value, couldn't be better. Thank you
We are loyal customer, now used Cote in five different locations. Last night was not so good for service although the restaurant was busy. Disappointed that the chocolate sauce that accompanied coupe noir was unpourable, solidly stuck to bottom of the jug and one guest had tough pastry on the apple pie. We should have been given the choice of lowering the service charge which had been automatically added.
We had a delicious lunch: the crab bisque is delicious, the haddock from the April Specials Menu is "to die for" and it was all served by delightful, smiling and friendly staff. Many thanks to Ava and her brilliant team.
Great service, good food, thoroughly enjoyable, as usual. Enjoyed the complimentary gin & tonic and new spring menu is pretty good too. Will be going back again soon
Really great food, nice location, fantastic staff! Very easy to book, online, and the value-for-money was excellent. It was a quiet day over Easter but the atmosphere was still lovely. Thank you, will definitely be back.
Despite living in Harpenden this was my first experience of the previous Post Office, but having eaten in Cote in SA and WGC I was not disappointed either by the food nor the decor. Ate before 7.00 and chose their 2 course menu. Not disappointed although their discretionary (?) 12.5 % service charge is too high for what you get.they try to justify this by having three people to present the menu selections Will try again a little later in the evening as there were only 10 other diners so lacked atmosphere
Very good especially on such a busy night for your restaurant
Very good all round. Service and food great standard. I eat out quite a bit and it’s so good to find somewhere good and not too expensive
Our dinner at Cote in Harpenden was the best meal we’ve had at any Cote restaurant in the UK, the food was as good, if not better than expected and each member of staff helped to make my wife’s birthday a very special occasion.
Super meal as usual. Service is always A1. Prices are real value for money & the food is always very well cooked, presented & hot. All in all a great value meal.
Great place to meet and dine. Service and menu with a great choice of food and wine
We enjoyed a lovely brunch, food was great, atmosphere very relaxing and great service and good value for money, we will definitely be going back. X
Great service Throughout our meal. The steak was served to our liking and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. As a family of four we have been several times and never been disappointed.
Easy to book, even when I nearly missed out on the free cocktail for each person, they were helpful on the phone. Arrived and the table was ready. Very cheerful and polite waiting staff looked after us. Menu was varied and I knew to ask for the vegetarian menu. The only down side was that it was as warm inside as out and there was no aircon. First warm day in May...
Everything was as constantly good as it always is, from the service to the quality of the food. The waiters/waitresses are always charming and professional. They are attentive but not invasive and always pace everything perfectly. Our complimentary cocktails were a lovely touch and a fantastic start to a most enjoyable evening. I cannot rate this branch of Cote highly enough. Thank you
We had a lovely Easter Sunday lunch with perfect service and wonderful good. We had a gorgeous bottle of red wine with one of the best machiato coffees I've had in England. Thanks for a special day, especially the free champagne.
Excellent meal and sevice thank you. We would recommend you to our Friends and family. Amazing steak and fish casserole. Staff were very welcoming and helpful
Great service and wonderful food. On the more expensive side but worth it. Decor was typically french, in keeping with the theme, even though not my fave decor. Great evening all around
Excellent meal and service. We always enjoy our evening here.
Staff are always polite and helpful, attentive but not invasive. It is a pleasant dining experience, and doesn’t have the rather forced and homogeneous feeling of other “chain” restaurants.
Really enjoyed our lunch. The food and service were great.
My friend and I had a delicious lunch, the service was attentive, we were given plenty of time between mains and desserts/coffee. A very nice experience.
Enjoyable evening with good food and company. Restaurant very noisy however and difficult to have fluid conversation through the evening. Manager very appreciate of this and offered move to a booth when available. Thank you
Excellent Fathers Day lunch, which was universally enjoyed by 7 guests. The service was particularly good, with a helpful and attentive waiter. I would also mention that all the guests thought the quality of the food was first class. Tony Berry
The food is good and reasonably priced there is a nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I eould definitely go again and recommend the restaurant to friends.
Great service great food well managed restaurant We all had a great night of good food,serviceand very good ambience The management is very good Well done to all the staff especially our waitress Thank you
Outstanding food - the whole party was very satisfied. The waitresses were attentive, but the speed at which the food arrived was average. Price range acceptable.
Good food, reliable quality. Not at its best last night. Meet and greet was slow all evening and the staff from the manager down aren’t very welcoming or particularly engaged with customers Also, acoustics mean it’s very loud Air conditioning at chilling temperature as usual here Good food though and decent value for money
As always the food was amazing and the service was exceptional, you will not be disappointed if you go to Cote in Harpenden. Staff are very friendly
