My friends that I came with are both allergic to onions and enormous effort was made by the staff to make sure every item on their menu was onion free, which was very much appreciated.We all really enjoyed a super lunch, delightfully served.

Very enjoyable and good quality food. The only downside would be the selection of beers available in a chain restaurant. I am surprised that being in a town with a brewery there is none of the local Harvey's beer available.

The food was very good but the waiting staff seemed very pressurised. and therefore not very friendly. There was a long wait between courses which didn't really matter but my husband did have to go and feed the meter when we hadn't finished after nearly 2 hours.

We both enjoyed our first visit to the Cote - from the initial welcome from the staff, the ambience was superb, the back ground music unobtrusive and enjoyable and the food was excellent - well cooked (the best salad nicoise I have ever had and my husband's french onion soup was great). The staff were attentive to our needs and the whole experience was one to be repeated soon - we hope.

Always a pleasure to eat at Cote and this visit was no exception. Reception and service was to the usual high standard . The lunch meal comprising Whitebait, Toulouse Sausages with Puy Lentil & Carrots was beautifully prepared and presented followed by the obligatory Creme Caramel. Always just the right amounts. Highly recommended.

The service was very good and the food was lovely, thought quite pricy by the time you added your sides of vegetables, which were not included in the price of the main. Two slight complaints were the lighting was quite dim, making it hard to read the menu and the loos are a long way away with stairs, which would be difficult for elderly people. Otherwise enjoyable experience and loved the free red wine.

very friendly and hard working staff,the atmosphere is amazing,clean and tidy.the service is second to none.the food was excellent and enjoyed by all the family,we have 2 teenage girls and they loved it plenty of choice,which is handy as our eldest girl is gluten free. Pre warning though is expensive,but value for money.

Cote is very reliable in its food & service, and so too this time, but lost marks because my friend's apple crumble had a soggy topping & the apple tasted more bottled/tinned than fresh.

Food very good, but service rather slow; we were left for long periods without any attention, and had to agitate for both courses. I find the 'optional' 12.5% service charge added automatically to the bill rather irritating. I would much prefer to choose whether or not to give what we would call a tip, and if so, how much. This effectively raises all their prices by 12.5%, and is therefore rather dishonest. It is still a very pleasant place to go, and the staff are friendly.

Four of us had three really good courses in an atmosphere that permitted proper conversation - no loud music, and good space between tables. Food was consistent in quality, wine very good and a special joy was the service of the tall young waiter who looked after us - efficient, not intrusive, helpful, good-humoured and courteous. We shall definitely return.

What a treat. Cotes seem to have the ability to turn a salad dressing into something special. All 3 courses were a pleasure to eat. Also lovely ambiance in a beautifully restored character building.

Food was good. Service was friendly but inattentive. Toilets were not maintained. 7 on end of special price menu caused the restaurant to be overloaded and thus food was delayed. Atmosphere was buzzy and decor was smart. Was very expensive for some of the average dishes.

Service in terms of food arriving a bit slow but everything else was fab. Food was excellent as was the wine; service was otherwise exemplary. Only other -ve was that the marble table we were at had a smear of food across it.
