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.

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.

I had the fancy chicken and chips with the tomato and olive sauce. It was nice. The chicken was cooked well and the chips were nice. But I wasn’t overly impressed by it. The Sauvignon blanc was tasty and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. The whole ambiance of the place was nice. It was busy for a Thursday night (so must be good). I was put in the centre aisle and felt a little exposed there. People were stood round us chatting and the waiting staff often had to squeeze by. Food was served quite quickly. The caramelised onion flat bread was nice with a touch of goats cheese. Price actually wasn’t too unreasonable. Would I dine here again? Yes. I liked it

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.

The food was great but the service was not so good. They brought us the wrong orders, we asked for fries they brought puree, we asked for steak well done we got bloody steaks, kept us waiting too long etc etc After I complained they brought us the right order and it tasted great. But yeah, maybe they need more staff or something.

We enjoyed a lovely family meal. Our meals were cooked well and tasted great. The deserts were excellent. The service was excellent, very friendly and professional. The only slight complaint was that the table was a little cramped for five adults.

We waited a long time between courses and gave up on the idea of dessert because we waited so long and had tickets to see a film after dinner. As for the food, our starters were so-so and my husband’s main course was disappointing. Mine was delicious though, so I’d recommend the pork belly. I wouldn’t have left a negative review as it was a Saturday night, but Cote sent me an email asking me to comment, so I have.

I really enjoyed my dinner tonight, I had the half roast chicken which was delicious and my partner got given a rump steak by mistake instead of the sirloin, which generously got taken of my bill by the lovely waiter. We also used the deal for a free bottle of wine so had a very reasonable meal. All in all, very good service and lovely food.

Meal booked for 4 people online in advance. On arrival, we were allocated a lovely booth area and attended to by a friendly and helpful waiter. We cannot fault anything as orders were taken and drinks and food delivered in very good time, there being no sense of being rushed nor having to wait. The food itself was well prepared, the right temperature and delicious. The prices correctly reflect the quality of service and fare. Highly recommended if your target is £30-£40 per head with drinks included.

We always dine at Cote, the food is excellent, but I particularly like Cote because I am Coeliac and have to eat a very strict gluten free diet. I always feel safe at Cote as they cook the gluten free food separately and always have it marked gluten free when they bring it to your table. We mainly dine at the Reading Cote, but have also dined at Cote in Eton and Bournemouth. They are all excellent.
