We booked on line at the COTE website for a early evening meal at 5 p.m. to suit our arrangements for that day and having used this brand many times in London, Edinburgh and Newcastle we were looking forward to our usual very pleasant experience. Upon arriving the first thing the blond young manageress said was 'i want the table back for 7 p.m.' i then explained that there had been no such qualification when we booked and then she said in a impolite way that she was heavily booked at 7 p.m. and i informed her that was not our fault and that i was not happy. It then took them 22 minutes to come and take the food order and also they said that the wine we ordered was not chilled so we had to pick another. Therefore why this rating was given. So Cote you need to up your game and retrain your managers in customer service and make it quick !!

Since our first visit to this venue, standards have not changed! Ambiance, food, drink and staff service are of the highest quality. Location is within 3 minutes walk of the main shopping area and seconds from the famous indoor Grainger market. Well done to all at Cote for making us feel so welcome. Guide Dog puppy Katie also enjoyed the attention and bowl of water.

Brilliant! Never been disappointed at the Cote. Early supper this time before Candlelight Viennese music at St Nic’s Cathedral. Service excellent, ‘gluten free’ meal was delicious- such a great choice complete gf menu, just ask!! I’m Coeliac, so it’s really important and the staff at Cote are well trained and knowledgeable- I’ve never had a problem!! Enjoyed it so much we’ve booked again for Christmas Eve 😊🎄

The service was good. It is also child friendly. We had a child with us & I noticed a children's birthday party at a table near us. The space is designed to be intimate at each table so other diners are not disturbed.

I asked for a table at the rear of the restaurant when I booked online and was shown to a nice booth at the rear. The food was lovely and the service good as always. I can highly recommend the pear, cheese and endive salad. Would have liked the creme brulee a little firmer and crispier on top, but otherwise superb and all four of us had a lovely experience for my daughter's birthday.

Amazing Food, Fantastic Service and a beautiful restaurant. There was so much choice and the food was such fantastic quality. The only SLIGHT issue that I had was as a large party of women ordering different bottles of wine the bill came at the end as a bit of a list and it would have been helpful if we had been able to break this down with the waiter before it got to us as it is not the easiest task a bottle of wine and 2 classes of Kir Royal later to do ourselves.

we have been to quite a few Cotes around the UK and have always enjoyed it but today we were put in a back room with only two other people who were having a noisy business meeting and whose phones kept going off and who did not move away to take the calls. We also suffered from very poor service - it was like we were out of sight therefore out of mind. There was always a long pause between sitting down - getting a menu - ordering and getting served. one hour 40 minutes for two courses. If this had been our first visit it would be most unlikely that we would return.
