Côte Shrewsbury

Lovely meal & staff very attentive & friendly as they have been previously

Love it here really enjoyed meal can't fault definitely recommend.

Great starters- Prawns and Chicken Parfait. One good Main, Breton Chicken, one Poor Main, Lamb cutlets- overdone and cold. To be fair we were offered a replacement but what’s the point of one eating their Main while the other waits? Good service, good spacing, reasonable ambience. The bill should have been £65, £45 under the current Government subsidy. Disappointing overall, I doubt we’ll go again.

Excellent service as ever - Staff doing their upmost in these unprecedented times ❤️

We were served a fine two courses in a pleasant and safe manner.

Glad to see you back doing it all so well .

Great starters - really excellent! My lamb smelled, looked and tasted burned. It was mostly cooked 'well done' rather than medium but it was the burned smell and taste that spoiled it the most. My wife's Beef Bourgignon was a little dry but taste was good. Her ice cream was supposed to be vanilla. Neither of us could identify the flavour other than that it appeared not to have vanilla flavour. My crêpe wasn't particularly enjoyable. Perhaps it was supposed to be served warm. I'm unfamiliar with this dish. It was a bit noisy. Our last visit was a better experience (apart from the starters today). We find quality to be inconsistent sadly.

Lovely meal here on a Tuesday lunchtime. Very attentative staff. We had chicken walnut salad which was very nice and chicken and potato gratin, also very nice although not quite piping hot. Desserts were crepes, well presented and enjoyed. Disappointed apple dessert and chocolate fondant had both ran out but a decent alternative offered. A very busy restaurant with eat in to help out offer on so not a surprise. Overall very nice and would recommend.

excellent staff and service. nice tasting food but small portions would not pay full price for portion size glad we had government discount however other than that a pleasant meal

We are great fans of Cote and have never been disappointed. However, unfortunately, this time was marred by the logistics. Someone had underestimated the demand and many items were off the menu. We had an enjoyable evening overall the staff were very attentive as always and apologised for the lack of choice. It was a shame because we were celebrating our fortieth wedding anniversary.

Pleasant evening with very attentive service and fine quality cuisine.

I have to be honest that as our meal was booked for 6.30pm there were already 4 items that were not available. When we came to order our meal another item was also not available. This was disappointing and to be honest from someone who has worked in this industry unacceptable. The company knew how many people were booked and should have had a good idea of the dishes that would be ordered. If I was being cynical they didn’t care, just get people on seats and as they’ve booked they won’t walk away. The food we had was average and not what I would have expected- to be honest I can cook a better beef Bourgogne at home. Despite this we had a nice evening and the staff could not be faulted

Wonderful service, fantastic food. Made use of the Eat out to Help out scheme, worth every penny of the full price Will definitely go again when scheme is over.

Great restaurant for a family meal. The service was swift. The food delicious and the decor is lovely. Can't wait for the next visit.

Lovely meal, we had a window table which enhanced the whole experience. Staff very attentive even though the place was busy. Have been twice now and will keep coming back

Was lovely as always, the staff are always so pleasant and helpful and considering just how busy it was this lunchtime, there wasn’t any wait for the service at all. Thoroughly enjoyed it!! Can’t wait to come back again ❤️

Lovely location staff well briefed brassiere menu excellent quality of food very good. We were really looking forward to the lobster and chips as this was sent to me on an advertised link but alas this was not available on the day we had lunch...... Thank you to your staff at Shrewsbury for great service

The service was very good and the food first class. We were both very happy indeed.

Great to be back!!! Excellent all round, such an enjoyable experience - we’ve waited a long time for that pork belly and it didn’t disappoint. The desserts went down very well all round too. Lovely to see the same friendly and attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble. Can’t wait until next time!!

We are certainly glad we booked a table for tonight’s supper, as groups were being turned away as the restaurant was full, whilst we were in the queue. The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived and our table was Adequately socially distanced from the next one. Our food was delicious and well presented. My daughter was a little disappointed with the unavailability of orangina as she does not drink alcohol but enjoyed the lemonade instead.

Great food and friendly service every time! Thanks for always being perfect.

The food was good. Service was good. They were understandably very busy but the whole experience was satisfactory.

Staff were friendly and attentive, lovely to see it so busy with the eat out to help out scheme going on. Food was hot, tasty and portion sizes were relatively large!😊 Can’t wait to return

A delicious meal in a beautiful place! We sat outside and Shrewsbury square is lovely!

Covid was the spectre at the feast and the missing star. Otherwise great.

The gazpacho was much thicker than I expected and very garlic. The beef stew looked a bit dried up but tasted nice. Waiter not very smiley.

Good food and good service. Good selection and Ideal location

Food was luke warm - waiter was rude - the fries from the children’s menu were hard and ham was not toddler friendly. I won’t rush back.

Excellent food and friendly, efficient service. Créme caramel a particular highlight

Just enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch . All food superbly prepared and presented. Very professional and attentive staff, made to feel very welcome . Thank you all

Fabulous service and exceptional food as always, thanks for a great evening

Lovely meal with great service. Will definitely book again soon!

Great food and service first visit to a restaurant after lockdown

Very polite and attentive staff. An excellent experience. Thoroughly recommended

We have enjoyed Cote at home 4 times during these hard times & loved it very much,but you can’t beat a lovely sit down meal in the Restaurant of Cote being served by your amazing Staff in Shrewsbury who are amazing.Thank you Cote 👍

Since the pandemic we haven’t eaten in many places. Our experience tonight has been so good. Tentative staff and excellent food at Shrewsbury!

As always excellent service and excellent food. We have 3 children 5, 8 and 13, the children's menu is flexible so our eldest had a starter and desert from this, and a main from the adult menu. We would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately our latest visit was slightly disappointing and very different from the week before. The menu had quite a few dishes that were "not available" ......... understandable I suppose if they have been busy, but there were other issues. For some reason my Lobster was very over cooked, dry and chewy and the Sea Bream was also dry /over cooked. We also had issues with one of the children orders, where we had ordered the sausage option but asked for frites rather than the dauphinois potatoes. We were then told that there actually wasn't any sausage left, so we changed it to char grilled chicken ....... which turned up with dauphinois potatoes!! These aren't the usual good standards that we have experienced with many previous visits and so let's hope that it was just an off day.

Hi, sadly we were unable to dine with you on Wednesday. After waiting for an hour our starters still had not arrived so we decided it was best to go elsewhere. Your team were very apologetic & offered us a free meal on our next visit, however we don’t live in Shrewsbury so it is unlikely we will visit the restaurant again in the next 6 months. Please could you let me know if we can use it in a different branch?

Service very good as always - only disappointment was that there were several items on the menu that were unavailable which made the already limited menu even more limited!!

The food was sub-par and we expected better for the price we paid. We were fortunate that we went on a Monday so we made use of the discount, but it was still not great. My beef bourguignon tasted burnt and had no flavour to it. I expected a rich and wine-flavoured stew, but it wasn’t either of those things. At least the beef was soft though! Service was ok, if a bit rushed but they were busy.

90% of the menu was not available, the reason beng the huge amount of covers done from Monday -Wednesday under the Govt incentive scheme. Good for you but don’t open on a Thursday night if you have no food ! Almost laughable when manager went through menu and literally pretty much all the main courses were unavailable!

It felt safe, well done everyone , the food was great as ever, the Breton Chicken was just as we remembered.

The staff were very helpful. The food was slightly disappointing. Not as good as previously.

Amazing food, relaxing atmosphere, attentive and professional staff- highly recommended.

Lovely experience at Cote. The food was delicious, the service was very good and the staff were really friendly. Will definitely go again.

Lovely evening ....the staff coped wonderfully well with terrible weather & a damp dog.Food was better than ever.Have loved Côté for 20 years from taking our grandchildren to the Richmond one many times.Stay safe & stay open.Back soon.MF.&DF.

A welcome return with social distancing and immaculate hygiene! Staff friendly and professional A Bame evening ! Booked again for next week!!!

Two of us took our first meal out since COVID lockdown and were joined by two of our friends. Côte Shrewsbury is one of our favourite places to eat so we were looking forward to it. We were cheerfully greeted by staff and seating was very safe - lots of social distancing and staff wearing visors. (We were not invited to use hand sanitiser on entering which would be a good idea). Whenever tables were vacated extensive and thorough cleaning took place so we were very re-assured about cleanliness standards. Service was a little slow to start and usually we would be given water and offered bread to start but we had to wait 10 mins before our drinks order was taken and that was after a prompt from us. Once our waiter was assigned though everything ran smoothly and, apart from a small slip with a missing side dish, we all enjoyed our meals. In the food department, which in the past, has been excellent we would recommend a few adjustments - starters were very tasty but the layer of fat on top of the rillettes was very resistant to removal and they were very sizeable portions for the amount of bread, however the crab salad was very good. Our fries with the mains were overcooked, the lobster was good and well prepared, but a little dry and, for the price, requires something beyond watercress, dill sauce and fries as an accompaniment. The steak was cooked as requested and tasty, the Bream and duck were tasty and well received. Puddings were delicious, Creme Caramel to die for. We recognise these are challenging times and we congratulate all the staff on making us feel safe and working under difficult circumstances and we're sure, if some of the little glitches (hence not 5*) can be resolved, Côte will once again achieve very high standards.

My mother and I treated ourselves to supper out using the Eat out to help out scheme. The food was absolutely delicious, we had incredibly efficient service throughout our time in the restaurant; attentive without being overbearing and were never made to feel rushed, also despite the queue outside we were shown straight to our table. Pleased that the atmosphere inside the restaurant was good, felt safe and socially distanced while still having the buzz of eating out. Can’t wait to return again.
