As usual, we can't fault Cote and really believe the restaurant offers the best value lunches in Oxford. The menus really do offer something for everyone, the food is very good (try the belly pork, the excellent soups and the creme caramel) and the staff are charming. What more could one want?

Staff very efficient but a touch over enthusiastic ! I realise they are trying to upsell but they don’t need to keep asking if we want anything else and repeatedly telling us to enjoy our meal !

Delightful welcome from the staff and the evening began very well., Our food however took ages to arrive and we began to become very anxious about being late for the theatre. It took almost an hour for the first course to arrive, the food was very good although we had no time for dessert or coffee and the experience was spoilt by the stress of waiting for the food.

I was very impressed with the way our visit was handled. We'd spent the day at Blenheim Palace and got our timings wrong for our booking. On phoning the restaurant to adjust the booking to a later slot the request was handled courteously and without a problem. On the booking I stated that one of my party had a nut allergy. We were all extremely impressed by the way an assurance was given on arrival that care would be taken to ensure that no nuts came into contact with the guests food, even though prepared in an environment where nuts were handled. Also to be given a list to look at of ingredients for dishes was superb and much appreciated. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was so nice to have French staff serve French food and also recommend the perfect choice of wines for our dishes. Once again I was pleased to take guests to a Côte Brasserie.

The service was brilliant and very quick! All meals came out together and were beautifully cooked. We were a party of 7 and chose from the early evening and prestige menus - both offered a good variety and excellent value for money. We will definitely return. Thankyou

Excellent food as always. The place was packed when we arrived but we had booked a table and the staff told us that there would be a slight delay in serving the food because they were so busy. All the staff are pleasant and helpful and the house wine good value. Whenever we have visitors to our home near Oxford we try to take them to Cote.

Enjoy visiting Cote in Oxford but do believe they should look into introducing sound absorbing materials because noise level is very high. Another point is I believe the Optional Gratuity should be 10%, not 12.5% when you consider it also applies to the increased cost of wine which is not part of the customers service experience.

Always a lovely meal at Cote. We had a table need some people that were being very loud, otherwise, it was excellent. The coupe noir ice cream had melted a bit and was therefore softer than usual not making the normally lovely contrast between the ice cream and the hot sauce.

Very busy but good as ever. Always a warm and friendly welcome and the food is consistently reliable. We were very politely asked by the manager to move to a different table so that he could accommodate a larger party and we were very pleasantly surprised to find that we had not been charged for our bottle of wine! Thank you very much.

The food was top quality. Quick service and our server attended to all our needs. The poulet breton was tender and made just right. And the creme caramel was the best we have had in a long time. Very good experience and highly recommended

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Cote. They had a promotion offering a free Rhubarb martini, it really was delicious! The staff were attentive, the food was delicious, especially the goats cheese starter. Our main chicken course was very good, however for me I much prefer the seafood linguine which I had on a previous visit. A great restaurant for a meal.

Disappointing! Have always rated my previous visits highly but this time not so good. The staff were really lovely, welcoming and helpful. The food mediocre at best. We chose from the more expensive set menu. My husband had French onion soup with a meagre amount of cheese on top and the sourdough which was burnt in places. I had moules which were cooked well but many had broken shells, some empty shells and one unopened. My main was risotto and some of the rice was too hard and pieces of the asparagus 'woody', the handful of rocket on top was not pleasing to the eye and unnecessary. My husband had pork which was over cooked and dry. We decided against a pud choosing coffee instead, these were burnt and bitter to the taste. You have previously done a great deal better than this.

Excellent food, service and convenient location. As I have celiac disease it is very reassuring to have those attractive ‘little flags’ in my dishes! Always of a consistent standard- one of favourite places.

Lovely food as always. Staff are always friendly but not intrusive. A special occasion. My only complaint is the ladies is really cramped if there are a few people in there. You can't open the door without crashing into someone but most women are used to this sort of thing!
