Excellent food, great service. The food was brought out in a good amount of time as well. The waiter ensured that we were well looked after and quickly came over whenever we finished anything to clear away the plates and ask if we wanted any more drinks

Cote has created a very pleasant, welcoming ambience in the Newcastle restaurant. it has been laid out with care so there is privacy and yet a good feel of belonging around the restaurant. Food quality is very good and served with style. We feel each time we visit that we are back in France dining in a well-run family restaurant. The mussels, the langostine tails and the 'French-style' steak are all to be tried and enjoyed.

Food was good enough, a lot of the main course elements in both dishes (pork belly and duck) lacked seasoning. The pork belly was well cooked as was my wife’s duck, the creamed spinach didn’t taste of anything as a side order. I feel for a 12.5% service charge on every bill the service was very average. You would expect someone to top your wine up (which is what was being done on other tables), have general conversation and a personal element to your visit. Instead it was very flat, no energy in a busy restaurant and lacked any type of atmosphere. With that being said I would certainly return as I enjoyed the starters and the meat was good on both mains. With a company average of 4.5 stars on trip advisor I had high expectations but it didn’t feel anything special than another branded restaurant in Newcastle

All the savoury food was far too salty. We were informed that the dishes are pre made so from the appetizer, to starter, to main course, there was no option for the restaurant to improve the taste of the courses.

Excellent food and really friendly staff, who could not have done more for us. I also liked to decor as it felt quite french but without being cliched. I will go back.

We love Cōte but today wasn’t good and we had to left because nobody served us about 10 minutes. Normally when you arrive they were giving you some water and asking drinks but today just gave us menus and next 10 minutes nobody come and ask our drink order.

Love this chain.Spent many happy lunches and dinners at Horsham before the fire so was looking forward to visiting Newcastle. Wine choice as a complimentary gift was not available but we were actually ggiven a superior replacement Food was fabulous but sadly I was left feeling very embarrassed at the point of paying the bill.The waiter forgot that we had been given a complimentary bottle of wine and I had to ask for it to be removed from the bill.The Manager Michael was extremely apologetic.

Excellent apart from the fact that the white wine was too warm and the steak not warm enough. The helpful waitress did replace the wine, but the replacement wasn’t much cooler, and we resorted to putting ice in it.

It was my wife's 2nd visit and her experience was not as good as her 1st visit. She did not have starter and had belly pork from the main menu which was served cold. By the time It was replaced my daughter and I had almost finished our mains. My daughter raised the matter whilst settling the bill and a refund was given for my wife's 2 glasses of wine. We think this was dealt with fairly. My daughter and I had the set lunch menu and all courses were very good.

Côte is fast becoming a go to destination for reliably good food and great service. During a recent trip to London my experiences in Glasgow and Newcastle meant that I could trust breakfast in Charlotte street. Although it was busy and more staff would clearly have been helpful, our waitress was prompt, warm and friendly. When things do go slightly wrong the response is impressive enough to ensure that my opinion remains favourable.
