Apart from some very unruly children, whose parents whose parents seemed oblivious of their offsprings behaviour, I had a wonderful birthday. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. They helped, despite the children, make my birthday dinner most memorable. On leaving, the manager approached us and insisted we accept a voucher for our next visit, as he was aware of the children. We explained that we did not think it was, in any way his or his staff who were at fault, rather the parents. Had they been my children I would have been humiliated. Excellent service and highly recommended

Food was good, it was very busy and staff were arguing amongst themselves. We waited a long time for starters but after that service improved

I went recently to Cote in Wimbledon, and then to Brighton, and on both occasions I had a very relaxing and enjoyable time, the food was good and the service was impecable. Based on this experience I decided to eat at your establishment in Harpenden. What a total disappointment it was, from the moment we went in we were hassled by staff at every sitting to the point that we felt all they wanted to do was get us out as soon as possible, if that wasn't enough the food just didn't resemble the quality I had previously experienced in your other restaurants. Quite frankly an experience I wish to forget, and I certainly will not be returning, and will advise others accordingly. On top of all that I unwittingly paid 12.5% gratuity, had I realised at the time it was optional I would not have paid it, as the service was not up to standard. Sent from my iPad

Another lovely evening thank you, it wasn't too noisy, although unfortunately we were sat close to a table of ladies who thought the whole restaurant wanted to hear their conversations and screeching. I know it is difficult to control, but is it out of the question to politely ask them to keep the excessive noise down. Was rather intrusive. Food was gorgeous and Creme Caramel was divine.

Lovely birthday meal out. Very generous sparkling rose at the beginning on arrival. Only criticism would be too persistent initially on food choices having only sat down 5/10minutes prior.

On arrival we had a warm welcome from the staff, the restaurant is a very respectable looking establishment with lovely decor. The food we had was absolutely top notch, the Steak in the Chateaubriand was to die for. I mention it was my Fiancé's birthday and when they came out with the desert it had a candle in as well as Happy Birthday written in Chocolate across the plate. My Fiancé was totally ecstatic about this and didn't want to eat it. Again Côte is a wonderful Brasserie that we would definitely visit again. When we arrived I got a parking spot right outside, which we were very greatful for, rather than having to walk in the cold damp wind. This would have been the only drawback in my opinion, but it would have been worth the walk.

Lunch at Cote Harpenden yesterday was a delight. We were celebrating the birthdays of 3 very elderly ladies. We chose from the Lunch Menu - beautifully cooked, right size portions and great value for money. The manager and staff went out of their way to make us welcome - and the birthday ladies were delighted with the Happy Birthday message written on their desert plates. Thank you so much.

Very average. Calamari was chewy, steak very basic. Turned into a expensive meal for my 11 yr old son and me at £70. Significantly better options at better prices available yards away. Restaurant was fairly empty.

Good food, good sized portions. Shame the beer list is so limited - go to a bar or restaurant in France these days and you'll find a good selection of craft beers.
