Amazing food. Lovely environment. Super staff. Food cooked and presented beautifully. Staff attentive and gave great service. My 10 year old son also enjoyed the experience. It was Christmas treat to a friend. Perfect.
Great service, lovely food and helps with choosing our wine. Thank you
Great value for money. Lots of choice and friendly service.
Only problem was, we were hoping to select from a different menu not certain your website made it crystal clear there was only one menu from 6pm. Service and food were excellent!
Very good service the waiter was very nice to us
Food quality was second to none; service excellent and friendly; atmosphere elegant but relaxed, and as there was a mixed up with our food, which resulted in a 5-minute delay only, the mamager took it to heart and offered us our champagne! Really a plazw I will be going to again! Thank you for a wonderful new year's eve dinner!
We thoroughly enjoyed our meal last night - all choices were delicious and the service exemplary. Special mention for Karina who was excellent.
Table of 3 late afternoon. First time we have eaten at this particular restaurant and we were very pleased with our meal and the whole dining experience. Would recommend and definitely visit again.
Had a really lovely time and great food. The manager on duty Nicky was really helpful and very sweet with a nearby table with a child.
Excellent, service and food. Thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience tonight. The staff were very good and attentive. Thank you. Fantastic experience
We were a very big party and the staff looked after us really well- thank you
Cote is always reliably good. the food is excellent and the service prompt. My mother who is hard of hearing , found it noisy, but it was not that busy for lunch and the acoustics are ok for most people
First of all, we called to book a table for two to be told that the restaurant was fully booked but they could give us a table at 830 pm (restaurant closing at 1030)! Went online and managed to book a table for 630! When we got to the restaurant, plenty of availibility!!! Ordered drinks from manager, but we never got them. Ordered some mayo ketchup etc... never got them neither.
Only 3 in the kitchen tonight, restaurant is heaving. Half an hour wait for starters, main course and one desserts. Very disappointing, I use this place once a week. In future will be avoiding festive period and bank holiday
We had an excellent evening in Côte Islington. Food was good and the ambiance excellent. Excellent service and and friendly hardworking waiting staff is what makes this place great. Thank you and merry Christmas
Excellent service from friendly and efficient staff. The food as usually was very good. A very pleasant experience for a group of 10 people
Great place to eat, good choice menu's each month. Excellent value. Love the place.
Great food good service and value for money and wonderful atmosphere
I have been to many Cote restaurant this was below my expectation and did not meet my needs and service I have expected it.
Nice place for meeting with friends. Food is very tasty. And vine is excelent. The only one thing that we had to wait quite long for our food. It is also friendly for people with children.
Excellent food and service that's WHY I KEEPGOING BACK
Service was extremly slow and despite sending through a pre order our food came out wrong and two meals came out when everyone had finished.
Seated at the table early, seating staff obviously very busy but helpful and friendly. Had to grab a waiter to order drinks after 10 minutes. We asked how long until our starters would be as we had pre ordered only to be told they had not received this so we would have a bit of a wait. They then found the order??? but continued to say it was not received even though everything we ordered eventually arrived without us ordering again??? Food was to a good standard. Starters universally great, mains ok. Dessert was a disappointment for one of our group as they only had 4 potions left but we compromised and shared. One of our groups dessert was not bought to the table and when we questioned they again said we had not placed an order on line. Two minutes later our waiter was back with the print out of our full order (so proving that we had preordered and yes the dessert was on it.) Waiter was young and not confident or friendly.
Very good, tasty food and drinks at sensible prices. Staff were attentive, but there were rather too many menu options in my view.
Always enjoy Cotes, My chicken was slightly undercooked but they changed it and apologised also gave us Dessert as a gesture of goodwill
This restaurant never fails in great food cooked really well with such lovely cheerful staff. It is so affordable but quality on every aspect.
Excellent apart from 1 starter being cold although we did not mention this
Very reasonably priced, tasty and a good service. Thanks for a nice experience
Nice atmosphere, good standard of food as expected, Côte consistently good.
Excellent. Friendly, competent service, December menu a success. A warm place on a cold day.
Staff were excellent and attentive. The food was poor. My friend could not eat his starter of beetroot salad and butternut squash pasta because it was overly salted and full of raw garlic. My starter of duck mousse pate was excellent but my main - pork was dry and bland
Really love this venue, relaxed environment, lovely food and really nice staff. Caters for mixed diets.
A lunchtime catchup with a dear friend at this time of year which has become tradition. Booked a table for 12 :00. Both ordered a dish with some sides, asked for all to come out together. My dish came and then nothing.... mine finished then my friends dish and the sides although not sides anymore. As we were having a lovely time chatting not so much of a problem but not a great service. My dish was refunded which was not expected but appreciated. Thank you Cote for good food as always just polish up the communication from table to kitchen. Happy Christmas to all.
I am a frequent visitor to Cote Islington as I know I will get an enjoyable and reliable French Brasserie experience. However this was not so on the evening of Tues 10th Dec. My favourite dish is the steak frites rapide. Which is served pink and always tasty. On this occasion the steak had the consistency of a piece of leather. I could not eat most of it for fear of choking. So most of it got taken home for the dog. I explained this to the waiter but nothing was deducted from the bill. This would have been a reasonable gesture. I shall not be visiting again!
Some of the food was under cooked wine arrived late
Have eaten at Cote numerous times and enjoyed it. Today was very poor : orders taken but not available, waiting time of 1 hour 15 mins for main course. Bit embarrassing as I was entertaining client. However wine was taken off bill which was a good gesture. Still....
A very enjoyable early evening meal prior to going to the ballet. Excellent food, very good service in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you Kind regards Bob
Lovely service especially as Jack was there He always ensures a pleasant visit
Another lovely experience at this reliably good branch of Cote. All three of us made tasty choices. Breton chicken, salad Nicoise and the burger were all enjoyed. Staff were friendly and efficient despite the restaurant being full. Kir Royale at £4.95 is always a bonus!
Delicious set menu. Staff very friendly and attentive. Great location opposite green. Recommended
