Excellent service with a nice menu to choose from. We enjoyed our early evening meal, with a delicious bottle of merlot. Then we indulged in the special dessert.

The current menu had too much fish on offer. The July specials were limited. Meal chosen was well presented. Unfortunately one guest was very loud and his conversation dominated.

Surprisingly underwhelming, never had a bad experience in a Cote but I guess there's a first time for everything. Our order wasn't taken until 30 mins after arrival, our drinks took forever to be served. 2 bowls of olives, 1 came, and then the other about 15 minutes later.. weird. It all went on like this until the end, I love Cote and will continue to enjoy your food and service, just not in the Oxford branch.

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Oxford, reasonable prices and consistently good food. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoyed the Kir Rosales which were a free birthday reward.

Excellent food as always and prompt. However, we couldn't prompt a smile from the waitress who served us, it makes a difference. The two guys were great. SMILE!

Great food and very good staff. Restaurant was very busy, but waited only 1/2 hour for food. Nothing more to say about this, but have to fill the gap.

As ever the food was well prepared and presented, and the service friendly and prompt. The downside was it was too noisy and diners in an adjacent table could not speak quietly!

This Cote restaurant is every bit as good as all the other Cote restaurants I have tried. The food and wines are very good and the service excellent.

Iwould rate the experience as rather average for the following reasons; portion control involved a hunt for some smoked mackerel amid a forest of lettuce and a grilled chicken that was a little undercooked in parts. The service was good but overall can and have un the past done a lot better

Good food but it was far too stuffy. The air con had been switched off, the front door was shut and the windows were not open. I had to pop out to the street to cool down between starter and main, couldn't stay for pudding as the heat was too much.

My family's favourite restaurant in Oxford. Consistently good food and service. We always eat here before The Theatre so have the choice of an early birds menu. Top tip....try the calamari, delicious. The steak and chips is also lovely, in fact never had a below par meal here!!!

Cote Brasserie in Oxford has excellent service and excellent food. We were going to the theatre, and arrived at the restaurant late due to traffic problems in Oxford. However the staff brought all our drinks and food very quickly, and we were finished in plenty of time for the performance.

Very nice service and the menu was varied. Food was fresh and tasty. what the hell else is anyone interested in? Oh, yes, the view out of the window is the worst view (of a huge wall of an industrial something or other) in all of Oxford. There - reached the minimum word count.

Exceptional service, very attentive and friendly staff. Lovely food in a nice environment. Would certainly go back, the fixed price menu is a no brainer, with the menu changing regularly, it's an excuse to keep going back.

The food and service were both good. They missed the offer that I had booked - the kir royales on arrival to celebrate the restaurant's 10th anniversary. I asked for the drink and it was then added to our bill. We had to ask to have this removed which they did without quibble. The system doesn't seem to know that you have booked an offer or is the restaurant? I will still go back though as I like the food.
