Côte Harpenden

Great ambience, food/drink and service. Definitely worth a visit and then it is likely to become more!

Good all round but the mussels should not have been served. They were overcooked, tiny, most were shrivelled and dry and the sauce was so salty it was inedible. I ate mussels in Norfolk earlier in the week and the difference was like night and day.

Super. Given a nice cosy table, a complimentary glass of champagne as we were celebrating our 53rd wedding anniversary. Served a very taisty meal finished off with a beautiful decorated plate with our sweet on. Would recomend . Thanks to all for making our day special.

Reassured us that they had noted our complimentary cocktails right from the start Food was amazing Would have been full stars however the server was leaning over us quite a few times for the plates and we did wait a little while for our desserts to come out

Very convivial excellent food need I say more Thank you

Our time at Harpender was good. The meal and service was also very good.

Food was delicous! On a very busy evening i thought the staff were exceptional. The only small critism is that we were the first table next to the door and you had people standing over you whilst they were waiting to be seated which was a bit intrusive.

Food as good as ever at Cote. Had to wait a while to be served

I had a wonderful birthday meal at Côte Harpenden today. The food was delicious - we chose from the weekend special menu - and the Kir Royales were a lovely birthday treat. Thank you for making my day special!

We had a lovely meal, the food was cooked really well. The service was excellent, we really enjoy coming to Cote in Harpenden.

Excellent food and service but dislike the 15% service charge added to the bill. Tipping should be at the discretion of the diner and not the restaurant.

Another great evening with wonderful food and great service .

Once again reliable service ( so friendly) the right table ( I always ask to reserve a special one) and a value for money, varied menu...in fact probably too much reading material in trying to work out what to eat ! Wines are good though a little on the expensive side for lunch. Such a pleasant atmosphere and the food is always served hot, reasonably quickly and nicely presented. Choice of menus is wide ranging and tasty. I really can't fault anything although it would be nice to have just a little sweet thing for dessert, not a full plate - such as a coffee and a piece of shortbread or chocolate ....just one! I don't believe you do a small cheese plate which is unfortunate for a restaurant claiming a French heritage/menu/style. Manager Danny is excellent in looking after people and the waitresses swift, efficient and very pleasant....they know when to ask and when to stand back. Smart good looking young man in black carried in the tray of food for the waitresses and smiled at customers. Good style and adds to ambience of Cote in Harpenden. Class, style and good value. Keep it up.

Welcomed. Nice calm atmosphere. Lovely food. Complimentary birthday drinks on arrival.

Great service and food. Really enjoyed the experience and will go back.

I really enjoy visiting with my Son at the weekend.

Fantastic service, food and surroundings. Love eating at Cote, its a wonderful experience.

Always excellent, I go often staff are very attentive and food superb, high quality and hot!

Had a lovely Saturday evening with a table for six, good and varied menu, food served on time and very hot which is perfect, cost was good value, 3rd visit 3rd success waitress 10 out of 10

Excellent again, great value formule breakfast, good quality food, usual friendly service.

Another lovely meal at Côte this evening. Great choice of menus, monthly specials always excellent and the monthly cocktails are always delicious. Staff as usual friendly and extremely professional. A thoroughly enjoyable evening especially given how busy they were. This restaurant has become a very firm favourite.

Was rather disappointed with the staff, when we arrived we weren't escorted to our table, the waitress pointed to where we were seating. The food was not to a good standard, water was warm and obviously from the tap. We went to celebrate my son's birthday the only food we enjoyed was my son's birthday cake. .which we brought ourselves. Not what we expected ,it was a shame as the meal and drinks were very expensive!!

Good food, good service and good value for money, Thank you.

Great experience for my birthday. We'll be back. The Grand marnier crepes were to die for!

Brekkie menu very good. Nice venue and goid staff

Food and Service was very good! Would definitely recommend and will be going back again soon!!

Excellent again. Good food and pleasant service - excellent value on the set menu

Once again the staff treated us fantastically well, food was great - we had a lovely lunch. All credit to the manager who keeps very high standards.

Overall the visit was very good. I had the weekend burger which was good but the burger pattie could have done with a bit more seasoning. This is my only negative comment though, everything else was very good.

Great food, great staff, great service. Busy Saturday evening and kept the standards up!

Another lovely visit to Côte Harpenden. Always well looked after and the foot up to scratch as advert.

The food was absolutely lovely and the staff were very helpful

Really enjoyed our visit yesterday. The manager on duty was brilliant and the food was really good. After having some not great visits recently this was a step up

Lovely evening at cote Harpenden the food was great as always and we particularly loved the January specials See you again soon

Food was absolutely lovely and service was good. Will be back

We visited the restaurant for breakfast. The service was first class. Good food.

As always, we had a splendid meal, served by friendly, efficient staff. And at a very competitive price The manager - Danny - can be proud of his restaurant and his staff !

The food was great, lots of choice including gluten free ...... My salmon was perfect and unusual salad with a really special dressing. £3.50 is alot for a small bowl of potato though! Wine lovely and quick, friendly service.......

It was a lovely meal as always at Cote, particularly with your January special offer on the set menu. As a coeliac I am never disappointed by the wide range of gluten-free choices. I was pleased to note the acoustics at the Harpenden restaurant had greatly improved since my last visit. We had no problems enjoying a good chat and were never hurried by the staff. I do have one request however. It would be nice to see a bigger range of soft drinks on the menu, for instance elderflower in my case. Whereas in the evening or at weekends I will happily share a bottle of good wine, the middle of the day often requires something less soporific. Many thanks again for an excellent lunch.

The food was exceptional and good value for money. Would have been 5 stars but I never got the olives I ordered.
