Côte Harpenden

We were greeted on entering the restaurant, and asked where we'd like to sit. Once we were seated, the service was very fast and the food was great A very good experience.

Good evening. Food as always was excellent. Breton fish stew was great.

The service was friendly and efficient. Food delicious. Thank you.

Given under cooked chicken. Apologised and had a free dessert and coffee.

There is a very calm atmosphere for a Sunday morning breakfast, not bustling just very relaxed.

Good value....quality food and excellent service. What's not to like?

Really nice meal, great service. The waiting staff are lovely

We had a very good family meal here, food was excellent and service efficient, my only issue is that the tables are crammed in so close together, I was almost touching the person behind me. I realise that this is a small space but it’s a bit claustrophobic. Would come again but might choose a different table.

We had an amazing evening really enjoyed it very much

Very good food and the service by all staff was first class. The only small downside was that Restaurant was quite cold, due to excessive air conditioning, which was of some concern to an elderly guest in our party. The Manager did try to adjust the situation, which helped slightly.

Good food, excellent friendly service and good value food. Good surroundings.

Amazing service food and atmosphere A very enjoyable evening brilliant

Very good. Food and service top class. Good value for money too. Would recommend!

Nice meal, nice surroundings and friendly staff. Service was good.

We were welcomed on arrival and given a choice of table. The service was fast and efficient, and the food was excellent. The fixed price menu is very good value, our only observation is that it would be nice if the main courses came with some more accompaniments.

Lovely mother’s day champagne brunch. Excellent service, lovely food and good value. Great way to start Mother’s Day.

The two and three-course set menu is well priced and has some excellent choices to suit all tastes.

First visit to this Côte for a pre show meal and we weren't disappointed. Good food and friendly efficient service.

Was expecting it to be packed and very busy on Mother's day but was not overcrowded and the service was good and the waiting times not very long. There was also no hassle to eat up and get out which meant we could play games and chat as a family. Would have preferred slightly more scrambled egg on the plate as would say the portion sizes were on the low side.

Excellent lunch with friends. Very impressed with prestige lunch menu, great variety and very good value. Excellent discrete service too.

Server was courteous, and very pleasant. Food was very goo thank you

Fabulous food, atmosphere and service as ever! I am seemingly never disappointed by Cote!

Everything was good - I had the Monkfish and whilst it was lovely I would have liked a little more for the money - only 3 small medalions

Good safe bet always reliable one of the better chain restaurants

Food always good. Nice and quiet so noise problems. Service excellent.

Great food, lovely service. Reliably good now, after several visits.

My friend and I very much enjoyed our meal today. The only 'adverse' comment have is that the starter, although excellent and very enjoyable, was really too large. Almost as much to eat as the main course.

Excellent cuisine. Waited 40 mins for first course(main) - a little too long.

Had the vegetarian menu for a change - omelette & frites very good. Service excellent as usual.

Good service, fine food, pleasant decor which all combined to create a warm and friendly atmosphere

Always excellent service with excellent staff they are always pleasant and polite

Lovely food as always and great service...an early evening dinner before we went out.

Great menu choice; beautifully cooked and presented; efficient service - very happy customers and we will return!

In general, the food was good. We all had steak for main course and they were cooked as we’d asked, perhaps the 2 of us with med/rare, a little bit underdone. Peppercorn sauce was like water! Atmoshphere and wine were good. Service was average.

We had booked a table for two at 7 p.m. The young man who met us at the door didn't welcome us, but simply said, "Yes, what do you want?". I explained we had booked and he pointed to the empty restaurant saying we could sit anywhere except the recessed dining areas at he rear. We were not shown to our table, we found it for ourselves. He brought the menus and we presented him with a voucher we had received from the manager last time to 2 drinks as the avocado pear I had been served was inedible. Our drinks arrived, then half an hour later he came to us and said he had forgotten about us would we like to order. We ordered and the food arrived. We finished our main course, it took some time for our plates to be cleared. he asked if we would like a dessert and he left the menus. After half an hour, no one had come to take our order, so we asked for bill, paid and left. Please don't tell me you were busy, that's your problem. The young man had an unusual haircut.

We went to côte for Valentine's Evening meal. The food was delicious and the shared dessert amazing! The service was first class even though it was very busy.

Always an enjoyable night out. Lovely food, great service. Excellent menu choice. One of our favourite places for a evening meal out. Breakfast also good.

Lovely attentive staff. Great choice of menu. Excellent food & drinks. We were lucky on this occasion again to have a nicely placed table. It was busy so does get noisy but we had a lovely evening out.

Great food, great service a very pleasant experience. The 2-course menu option is very affordable too. The risotto was particularly good as was the French 'blond' (beer!) Many thanks.

A lovely evening, great food and lovely staff. A very nice ambiance.Would recommend this restaurant. Easy to book online. I have never been disappointed with my visits.

As always lovely food and very polite attentive table servers

Lovely family meal on Sunday. Very welcoming and accommodating team (particularly as we had a baby and pram in tow). Excellent service and great food.

Another fun evening . Really enjoyed the new menu. Great service. Will recommend to friends and planning my next visit already! Good selection of wine too

Great food and service. 2 fixed price menus have super selection. Celebrating 95th birthday of a lady with her friends. Made to feel most welcome - a lovely touch was that her dessert came with a lit candle and happy birthday written in chocolate on the plate.

Had a great lunch at Cote Harpenden yesterday. The service was excellent and so was the food. It's great that they change menu every month!

Another amazing time at Cote. One of the party had the fish off the special January menu which was excellent. Service again was perfect. Thank you

Lovely restaurant. Great service, very child friendly and loads of choice on the menu. We were a party of 8 (family) and had a lovely evening.

There was a great atmosphere, with very pleasant surroundings. There was a good choice of items on the set menu. This one of my favourite restaurants in Harpenden.

Nice friendly service received with interaction throughout. A good selection of food and wine and presented in an appetising fashion. Good value for money all round.

Enjoyed the atmosphere by having the meal midweek. Far more relaxing than the weekend. Would also recommend the set menu as well as the a la carte..
