Nice meal. Place lacks a little character. Could have warmed the plates to keep food hot. I had 4 small mushrooms on my dish. We did have compensation for our cool meal.
Friendly, competent service. Food met expectations. Good value, pleasant environment (the Old Post Office). I left my mobile and staff stored it safely. Thank you!
Good is excellent, staff very good, will visit restaurant again.
Our Breakfasts were perfectly cooked and were delicious. Great value for money and great atmosphere. Staff were welcoming and were happy to make any changes to the menu we wanted.
The food was fresh, well prepared and delicious. The service was brusque and we would not return because of it.
fabulous atmosphere and greats service as usual! we love Cote
Excellent service, delicious food well presented, good atmosphere and good value too.
Comfortable but not flashy, tables reasonably spaced, nice welcome from friendly staff, good range of menu choices, all delicious.
Lovely calming atmosphere, attentive service and tasty food. We all enjoyed a fabulous evening.
excellent staff, Ash was our server and she was super, went out of her way to make the experience 10/10. Bravo!
Easy to book, nice welcome, pleasant atmosphere, lovely food and great service
A really lovely evening made by top food and excellent service
Lovely food and great service. Lovely touch of adding a happy birthday message to my desert plate. And with helping two elderly ladies out of the restaurant and into my car. Those little extra touches make all the difference.
Despite the Restaurant being almost empty, the food served to me was very poor. My husband on the other hand said his meal was good. Very hit and miss depending on items ordered. Could not recommend.
Lovely meal. Sorry restaurant wasn’t Fuller- it deserves to be
Great tasting food and wonderful service Lovely ambient and relaxing music
Excellent service. Our waiter was lovely! Couldn’t find a fault.
Lovely food with thoughtful and efficient service form an attentive team
Great service, great food, varied selection. Waiting staff friendly and welcoming, quick service without being hurried.
Excellent food and service, not overpriced either, would definitely visit again.
All meals chosen were very good and good friendly service. Cote seems to be able to maintain its value and quality.
Usually a great restaurant but today the soup was served cold and had to be sent back and the fish was served with just beans. So, I had the beans replaced with carrots and peas which made the entire dish very tasteless and bland. The fish portion was small and the vegetable portion was enormous. However, this was a two course set menu at £10.95 and this was good value for money essentially. We did order bread for the soup and with drinks as well it’s always over £30 with an additional 12% discretionary tip added to the bill. It is not a cheap place to eat even with set menus at low prices.
Good choices from a wide menu including the two special two and three course offerings. Some nice wines in the £20 range. Pleasant ambience, quiet for lunch this week during the school summer holidays and helpful service - not intrusive but there when needed. Quality of their fish in particular is high and try the Sea Bream with fennel....the best I have had anywhere, and usually go for every time I visit Harpenden's Cote
Overall very good. The staff were helpful and the "gluten free" options were very well explained. The food was mostly good with the exception of the apricot crumble which was soggy, stodgy and tasteless. Barely edible!
Good menu and range of prices/dishes. Efficient service. Food hot and tasty.
Great night and would happily go again for sure 😊
service very good, very pleasant ambience, reasonable price. Staff very attentive.
Another great meal Really enjoyed trying a new aperitif, and the classic French food never disappoints
Very enjoyable evening with visiting family and our waitress was lovely
Excellent Staff and front of house. kk kk kk kk
Great service, good food, reasonably priced. House white is very nice.
We always enjoy eating here: the food is delicious and well presented and the service, this time, came with a lot of humour too. The waiter was delightful. One off thing this time was that the bread we ordered to eat with our soup came after we finished the soup. There were apologies and then the bread was removed from the bill. Lovely. There is a discretionary tip of 12.5% now added to the bill too so it’s not cheap to eat here. We think it’s worth it though.
Superb as usual! There is little more to say other than keep up the good work!
Nice food, great service. Reasonable pricing. Friendly, welcoming staff. Atmosphere very nice. Great for both a casual meal or an occasion.
Great service and food. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Good range of gluten free options available.
Lovely meal at Cote last night. The monthly cocktails are a lovely touch and the service and food last evening could not be faulted. The special Cote de Boeuf was excellent and great value. Thank you for a very pleasant evening.
Great service, exceptional food, great value for money. Love the special menu change with drink each month. Highly recommend
We felt that although the restaurant was quiet, it lacked attention to detail. Taking our order was slow and when the steak came it was not cooked to our specification.
Very good service, meals to suit everyone and nice atmosphere
Excellent food. Well cooked, well priced , good flavours and an enjoyable ambience.
