Côte Reading

Food was very good and tasty. Only criticism would be the service was too fast. Sounds strange, I know, but we like to take our time for dinner and don’t like to rush. Perhaps have your team ask if we are in a rush or not?

Great welcome back! Hi with a smile🙂. Quick service, not waiting long before order was taken. When entering we were asked if we had any dietary needs & sanitizer was available to use. Drinks, I.e. 2 coffees were quickly made & served & our brunch didn't take long to serve. Servers were very happy to be back working & very chatty. One server even remembered that we prefer sweetener in our coffee before we requested it. Brunch was delicious. I had the vegetarian cooked breakfast & husband had the cooked breakfast. Will make this trip a regular event.

Food is nice, customer service is good as usual. Will return.

Great service, with attentive staff. The food was delicious and worth going back for although I would've liked a slightly bigger portion. Menu is well constructed with plenty of options no matter your dietary requirements.

Great to be back and see the friendly team. Brunch was lovely.

Lovely food as always. Service team felt a bit inexperienced or perhaps over-stretched. And the restaurant felt maybe a bit too full to be COVID-safe?

As always the ambience was lovely, the staff very helpful and polite The food is just absolutely perfectly cooked, always fresh and of a top quality. The measures put in place to deal with covid 19 are excellent and the staff were constantly cleaning which was also very reassuring Overall as always a wonderful evening was had Thank you

We had a lovely evening, the staff were all absolutely delightful

Lovely meal/service. Will recommend to my friends n And family. One thing though, get rid of you included gratuity of 12.5 %.... let your customers/client decide what they want to tip you. Xx

The food was lovely as always and the procedures in place regarding Covid were excellent.

Good food. Not much atmosphere but that’s due to pandemic situation

Lovely to be back after such a long period of closure. The staff were friendly and efficient as always.

It’s been such a long time since we enjoyed eating out but today’s wonderful lunch was therefore all the better. The food was outstanding as ever, and the the service and the atmosphere were delightful. Lovely to be back. I can thoroughly recommend.

Service fantastic as always and food perfect. Delighted to be back!

Welcome back and thank you. Food was as amazing as ever and the service of course excellent. Made to feel very welcome. Can’t wait to come back.

Delightful, experienced staff. Always going the extra mile. Superb Management. Excellent hygiene measures and an absolutely delicious meal. I’m missed you Côte! Welcome back!

Great to be back, to see the usual faces after so long. Great food as usual, in a very safe environment

Lovely food and staff always very polite. Happy to be going for lunch again.

It was a real pleasure to have lunch today at Cote Brasserie and taste again the wonderful cuisine in a safe environment without the need for signs, stickers, arrows, 2m spacing everywhere. Your well trained staff carefully ushered us to our table and all were wearing visors.

Great to see Côte up and running again. It’s my family’s favourite restaurant in Reading. Really delicious meal this Tuesday evening and thank you for the complimentary Rhubarb Martini ... 🍸 I’m a huge fan of fries (or potatoes in any form) and although I didn’t have any fries tonight that’s the only thing I would criticise and say that the portion is very small.

Excellent customer service, super friendly staff. Good to see you back again!

Amazing to have Cote Reading back! It has been our favourite haunt for years. We've missed it terribly during the lockdown and now it's open again; Just as reliable, just as pleasant an experience, and wonderful to see so many familiar faces on staff. Thank you!

As always, high quality, not-complicated, very tasty food for a surprisingly good price.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Cote Brasserie and would highly recommend this restaurant to others looking for a good quality meal at an affordable price.

Lovely Ambience, delicious food and brilliant service! What more could you ask for!

Very friendly and responsive service. The food tasted very good (we both had fish dishes). When reservation was made and I wanted confirmation I received a prompt response.

Amazing service and lovely atmosphere. Staff were lovley and very helpfull.

The service was, as always good and the food excellent.

Great food, great atmosphere as usual, service superb. I do think you need to be careful when booking on line if you're angling for the complementary wine or cocktail as we found the Rhubarb Martinis on our bill as I'd apparently not clicked the right buttons - really? They were taken off but it tainted the effect of the evening - shame.

Very good service and delicious food. A shame about the person on a nearby table with a laugh like a sub-machine gun but I can't blame the restaurant for that !

Often go to Cote great menu choice and good value. Unfortunately on this occasion my husbands steak was really poor quality and over cooked and we had to send it back 😟

Lovely staff, great food and drinks. 6 stars on all counts. definitely recommending this restaurant, not super cheap but good value for money and one to book for any occasion.

Great restaurant and fantastic staff. Food is always good and never have to wait long. This is my favourite chain restaurant, breakfast is really good here too.

Good atmosphere, quality food at reasonable prices. Good service. Only minor criticism could do with slightly larger table, bit if a squeeze for four people.

Good tasty meal even though the restaurant was very busy our food was served promptly and politely and was cooked well. Many thanks for a very pleasant experience

There was a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant and we had a fantastic meal - beautifully cooked - and excellent service from our Greek waiter. All in all a flawless experience!

Staff very attentive from the time we arrived too when we left, starter of calamari was great and the main was fantastic and great quality. Kia Royal on arrival and lovely rose wine, will be back.

Food was very good value, staff pleasant, but service a bit slow as not so many staff as usual. Restaurant was a bit cold and drafty.

We had a lovely pre Mother's Day evening meal here on Saturday. We were very happy with the customer service and table service received and look forward to coming here again as this is a yearly tradition. Lovely waiter waited our table most of the evening and had a great sense of humour. The food was exceptional too.

We were able to sit in a booth which was perfect, choice, value for money is excellent on the set menu. Service first class, staff very friendly, welcoming and efficient.

Warm, friendly staff and atmosphere. Always speedy service and delicious food. One of my favourite restaurants in reading.

Great service and great food. Staff are very welcoming, highly professional and extremely helpful and accommodating. Wonderful gluten free menu choices which are careful adaptations of the main menu. Coeliacs can feel confident eating here.

Food is great. I really enjoyed my steak. However the seats weren’t comfortable, restaurant was far too noisy and our waitress didn’t smile even once. The table next to us were having a debate between themselves to pay her tip or not. Overall food is great but atmosphere isn’t.

Very helpful staff and a reliably good menu. Our regular place to eat out.

The asparagus with Hollandaise sauce was very good, but the steak rapide was not. I asked for it to be rare but it arrived cooked all the way through. I sent it back, but the steak that returned tasted of rancid oil. I sent that one back as well and when the final one arrived it had no taste at all! I have never had a problem before at Cote Brasserie and this was very disappointing. The staff were wonderful though, really concerned and thoughtful. I wasn't charged for the steak. It was Sunday evening and the restaurant was quiet.

Poor experience today- booked as a mothers day treat and should have just cooked at home. Had to move tables due to be blasted with cold air. First waitress was rude. 3 of the main courses were cold. We had to keep getting up to get attention to order more drinks and the food was very average. One of the puddings on the mothers day special was not available and it was only 5pm surely if you are putting something on a specials menu on a busy day you make sure you plan the numbers effectively? Generally poor service and totally average food. Very disappointed it's usually a favourite of ours. You may have taken some money of the bill but there certainly wasn't much of an apology.

Lovely team, great food and wine. Nice vibe in the restaurant. Steak Tartare delicious and both steaks cooked to perfection. Cote de Rhône perfectly accompanied the steaks.

Attentive to allergies, great choice for gluten free and fantastic food. Perhaps a little noisy although it was a lunch with many families in. Only improvement would be to have all whites on the menu chilled and available.

Once again another excellent time had by me and my daughter at Cote celebrating her birthday. Food, staff and atmosphere were brilliant. The whole restaurant was bubbling with happy customers.

Great food and pudding and lovely evening! Would go again.
