Côte Oxford

Super lunch. Friendly staff, great food and lovely ambience. This was Sunday pre theatre - I had booked but many people were turned away as it was reservations only. So advise to book in advance on a weekend.

We had a very good experience ,the food was wonderful and the staff were excellent.

The staff at Cote in Oxford are lovely. Howevet, the food was mildly disappointing. The starters were overcooked. The steak (from a steak frites) had a run of fat in making it tough and the moules were over peppery and many had fallen out. Dessert was good.

The meal was very good but I was really looking forward to having a creme caramel and you had run-out of them. The service was good to start with but was poor at the end of our meal.

I had a lovely meal and the service speed was just right. The only downfall was the duck breast served with main was quite tough and bit dry. The prawn starter and chocolate fondant dessert were faultless and delicious.

The food was lovely; what I have come to expect from Cote. I have two criticisms: one that we were sat next to a fairly loud table of 12 men, and secondly, that the Kir Royales that were supposed to be part of my birthday package, were not in the system, so I had to book again using the link whilst in the restaurant. It was all sorted in the end, but I might choose to go somewhere else for my birthday next year.

Nice ambience, good special Valentine's Day menu, attentive service. Food was well-prepared and presented. Portions could have been more generous on main course and initial choice on desserts was rather limited. Wine pairings worked well. Overall, a very good experience

Always good food and good service this is our favourite.

The service was excellent, the food delicious and served swiftly, staff were friendly

Food was good, but the cocktail was not as good as the previous week. It was rather watery.

An extremely pleasant lunchtime. Food and service were good. Wine just a little bit more expensive than it ought to be

Food was nice. Too many tables crammed in the restaurant. We were basically sharing the table with the people to our left and right. Very noisy as a result. Starters arrived really quickly. Mains took far too long to arrive. Staff was attentive. Given the entire experience, I think the value for money isn't great.

Great for our group. Great wine, great food. Good value

Meal for husbands birthday meal was fabulous, couldn't fault a thing

The food was lovely! Well presented and really tasty! And the service was also really good! Staff were very helpful and welcoming!

Excellent service, very convenient location, lovely food and a very reasonable price.

The best meal in London for me amd I enjoyes very much.

Lovely evening with great food and just the right amount of background music prior to going to a concert round the corner. No negatives 😊

The food was excellent however the smell of drains/toilets was extremely off-putting throughout our meal. Really disappointed by this.

Lovely. Been many times. My companion felt that the portion of onion soup was on the small side as I was eating my dish long after she had finished! However that aside, lovely attentive staff and the food very good. I feel tables could be further apart as it does get quite noisy.

Amazing Staff and food always feel welcome when coming here

Big group of us and they managed to bring out everyone on time, Amazing

Great as always, would highly recommend the duck. And really enjoyed the Blood Orange complimentary cocktail

Great service! We will return. Food was cold on arrival but the manager sorted this straight away.

Food was great but there was a long delay with the mains (50mins) they apologised and other than that the food was fab and the politeness off the staff was refreshing. I would go back even with the delay

Very friendly staff, very quick service and lovely food thanks guys 😁

Mix up on order for food but sorted out service very good as was food staff very friendly and helpful would recommend a visit

Lovely romantic meal, favourite restaurant, lamb was undercooked, but swiftly rectified. Thank you.

Delicious food and excellent service. Great experience for our Valentine Day lunch.

Always wonderful food. Seating was snug but that would be because it is always so popular.

As always, a lovely meal and delightful staff. Very highly recommended.

Really disappointing experience. I have dined at the Oxford côté on a number of occasions and have always been wowed by attentive staff and outstanding food. I cannot say this was true when we dined on the 8.02.2020. Staff were borderline rude. We were not asked if we wanted any further drinks. I had to ask for our table to be cleared to make space for our meals. Food did not come out together with a 15 minute wait for a table of four. There was an issue with the olives. When this was raised with the waitress the waitress walked off mid sentence saying ‘oh dear’. Tables at Oxford are seated too close together. We can often overlook this, however I am 9 months pregnant. Staff did not accommodate this. Instead I felt Uncomfortable throughout the dining experience. I have always paid the optional gratuity at côté (and then some on occasions) as staff have truly deserved this, however, on this occasion I asked for the gratuity to be removed and we did not leave a tip. Overall very disappointed and will not return to the Oxford branch with the current staff serving.

This was my third visit in three weeks. Cote never disappoints. The new menu was very varied and I really enjoyed my meal and the house wine. Service was excellent.

Overall was a good night. However the lamb rilettes was awful. It was basically lamb and fat squished in a jar. NOT what was described on the menu! Actually made me feel sick.

Everything was amazing from the service to the wonderful food. We will return very soon with friends

First class service and food ... lovely leisurely lunch before the theatre.

Very enjoyable meal and very good service. However, due to a very noisy part of women in the same area at times we could not hear ourselves think let alone hear what our own party had to say. That spoiled the night rather.

The food as always was lovely. Really good service too. They told us when we arrived that the gas had been off for a long time so they were running a bit behind. However we didn't have to wait long at all to get our food. Three of the soups that were ordered were a little on the cool side so they took them back and warmed them up and also took them of the final bill which was a nice gesture. I have eaten in cote many times in London and in Oxford and the quality of food, customer service and value for money is always consistently high. Well done.

Great friendly service, yummy food and good choice of dishes. It was my husbands birthday and when we arrived we had a complimentary pink processco type drink and little happy birthday confetti on the table. Reasonable prices for fabulous food.

Really nice and cosy restaurant with reasonably priced French bistro food. Very friendly And spontaneous personnel and the way they solved a Little issue in the kitchen was exceptional and high service!

Lovely food and wine .Staff were very nice and made you feel welcome.This was our first visit but won’t be our last .

Really impressed with the service and food at the Cotes Oxford restaurant. All three of us enjoyed our different meals. Very pleased.

As per usual....excellent food, attentive staff for a pre-theatre dinner

enjoyed the food and a nice choice on the 2 course lunch menu

Lovely Atmosphere great staff and very nice food Overall a great experience. We will come again Thank you.

First class class service with a smile, tasty food for all 3 courses, all efficiently served in good time, at a very reasonable price, in an excellent pleasant, warm atmosphere. We will come again!

Another lovely evening out at Cote. Delicious food, beautifully presented by friendly staff.

Great evening, we all enjoyed the food and your team looked after us well

Server was great. Duck entre was overcooked. Quite loud overall.
