Côte Reading

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.

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!

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

As regulars at Cote over the years, it is good to see they are continuing to succeed. It was packed to the roof with a fantastic atmosphere, yet the service was as sharp and enthusiastic as ever. Book or you won’t get a weekend table. We ate dishes we know well and the quality of ingredients, cooking and presentation made them as fresh and enjoyable as ever; in fact probably better than ever, and that’s why we keep going back! Well done to the whole Cote team.

Lovely staff and food. Please would someone arrange for the disabled toilet/ baby changing to be completely redecorated. Also, why are kitchen staff in their whites using this toilet? I

Lovely food and atmosphere and good service with two rhubarb martinis

Cote is a lovely restaurant with a very warm and cosy ambiance. The staff are always welcoming and friendly; they go out of their way to ensure everything is just as you want it. The food is consistently excellent and great value for money. The fillet steak is a real treat!

It was first.class food,service and having a Gin cocktail was the bees knees will defo be going back thank you it will soon be my Birthday so that's a good reason to returnx

Visited Cote in Reading with 4 friends, the food was amazing but only issue was I ordered a vodka and soda water with fresh lime and Cote does not do fresh limes, but that’s was the only issue.

Always very good at Cote all the staff are very pleasant and the food is always served hot and of very fine quality and the monthly specials are a delight

Always a good meal and service at Côte. The menu changes so there is always something different to try and the early dinner set menu is excellent value

Visited for an early Valentines Day lunch and took advantage of the special "St Valentin" Menu. Food and service excellent (as always) and exceptional value for money.

The food was enjoyable with a good choice, and at a reasonable cost. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service was very prompt. Will be happy to go again.

All the staff especially the manager went out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience for my niece's birthday, and the food was excellent

It was lovely to sample the beautiful asparagus dishes of the new season. Cote is our favourite restaurant, because of the excellent food and service, but also the wonderfully extensive range of gluten free choices for my wife.

Four of us ate at Côte in Reading yesterday evening, 28th February, we were there to celebrate two birthdays. I had said this was the main purpose of the evening when I booked the table. We had the most wonderful evening, absolutely nothing was too much trouble for the lovely lady manager and the wonderfully kind lady who looked after us at our table. Complimentary kir royals for the birthday toast and attentive but not intrusive service. The food was absolutely delicious, as it always is, the wine was chilled to perfection, all in all the perfect evening and the perfect place to celebrate two birthdays, thank you Côte!!

Always an excellent meal and service at Cote Reading! I am a regular and never disappointed. A great atmosphere, choice, quality and attentive staff. One of my favourite places.

My partner and I love going to cote since our first date. We recently went for a birthday and the specials for the month were amazing (particularly the swordfish and white chocolate creme brulee). Definitely recommend for those who want a pleasant meal out with someone special

Very nice meal out with my best friends. Food & service was excellent, well done. Good value for money too. Highly recommended and we will return!

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.

We went for Mother's Day lunch and it was very busy but this didn't affect the food quality or cooking - everything was superb. Calamari tender & crisp, as was the duck & the fillet steak perfectly pink. A kir royale (part of the deal) & wonderful service topped off a lovely family occasion in our favourite Cote restaurant - a perfect way to spend Mother's Day!

Fantastic experience, fabulous food (only issue was stringy mussels but the very attentive staff apologised and deducted the cost from the bill). Will visit again.

As always a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. Great food, and attentive staff.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently delicious. There is a specials list for the month which adds variety of choice to the base menu, The costs are generally a bit higher than other regional chains but the quality is so good that I believe it is worth the extra, a lovely place to go for a special night out. The one thing I don't like is the noise level, it is difficult to hold a conversation with your companions, I am sure it could be reduced with the introduction of some simple, inexpensive features to breakup the large open dining area. Its worth knowing that they do a great breakfast as well!

Fantastic service, fantastic food, always a good experience. Highly recommend it.

Lovely meal, food was great. We really loved the blood orange martinis too! Sure we will be back again soon. Thank you for a great lunch today,

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

Another very good experience from Cote, Reading. This has become our regular restaurant for team events and it doesn't ever disappoint. Looking forward to coming back.

Good service, friendly staff and food also good quality and flavour!

the service was wonderful the meal was great and the experiance was out of this world thanks cotes. it was our 57th wedding annivresary so we all enjoyed our selfs9

A Fantastic family meal, service and birthday dessert. A big thanks!

Our group had a good spot on the first floor for us only. Good service and food was lovely. Price was okay too!

Having lived 35 years in France and Belgium, we appreciate the high standards of food and service set by Cote. Another enjoyable meal yesterday evening in Cote Reading.

Enjoyed the evening. Good atmosphere. Service was very good. Asked to change our table and this was done very quickly and efficiently. Would certainly recommend and return.

Booking online was really easy and simple a pity that the service did not match. Our mains took over an hour to arrive and other tables that arrived after us received their meals before us. The manager did apologise and we had money taken off the bill but it really spoilt what should have been a lovely Mothers day.

Yes we were greeted by a very friendly waitress,we said we had booked and she showed us to a table,drinks arrived promto we ordered our food which arrived very quickly then ordered puddings which arrived we paid and left very happy thank you

Excellent meal, great service as always at this riverside restaurant in Reading. The Monkfish wrapped in bacon and a gorgeous Sirloin steak were our mains, I can highly recommend the monkfish, delicious, followed by the chocolate fondant and my favourite, Creme Caramel... Wonderful food at a reasonable price.

Fantastic food & perfect waitering. Everything was done at fantastic rate, food was ordered and arrived sooner than expected and tasted amazing! Will definitely be going back there!

Well prepared and presented food. Great menu choice and attentive staff. Value for money.

We are regulars in several branches, originally because of the excellent range of choice of gluten free food for my wife who is coeliac, but also now because of the choice and excellence of the food and service.

Lovely evening - we were not rushed and had plenty of time to sit and chat

Chicken and chips then coffee as planned. Restaurant in a rather crowded spot lacking in charm on a busy Friday evening. Staff pleasant.

Wonderful food, beautifully cooked and presented. Attentive but discreet service. Quite lively but it was a busy Saturday night, otherwise a perfect evening!

very good service, good food .It was a monday evening so quiet anyway but enjoyed it .Only issue was that we were near the door end of the restaurant and the lighting was poor we really struggled to read the menu between all 6 of us !

Terrible service and sub Motorway service station quality. Your staff seemed determined to have their Friday chat and when they could be bothered to come over were neither helpful nor attentive.

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.

Food was excellent as usual and great service but toilets were not great and I don’t agree with automatically adding 12.5% service fee to the bill.

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.

The food and the service was great. Definitely we will come back!
