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!

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

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.

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

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!

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....

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!
