Service good but a little unattentive. Starters seemed microwaved and lacked flavour

Had to ask for bill a few times..when you have small kids staff should understand they can't wait around. Plenty of staff available at the time.

Called in on the off-chance there was a table out back in the garden. It was busy, but I guess people wanted to be inside where it was warmer. We were a group of four, 2+2 socially distanced. It didnt feel cold outside, as was well protected from wind, and it didnt detract from the experience. Great food, great friendly service. Great steak frites and Parmentier (as always at Cote).

I really like Cote and have visited several times. The food is fresh and presented nicely with love and care, very tasty and filling. Lots of staff to serve you. A little disappointed that my soup was only warm today and not piping hot, that said the issue was quickly put right by the staff. We had a full meal with starters, mains, desserts and coffee, total bill was around £120 for the 4 of us. I’ll be back again soon hopefully.

Fantastic meal. Great service and delicious food. Felt very relaxed given COVID measures in place; many restaurants do not deal with it well but Cote staff made us feel very welcome and no tension in the restaurant

Excellent service and food. Love the October specials and fig, goats cheese & endive salad. Only shame is the Steak Tartare seems to no longer be on the menu, which was quite a favourite! Hoping it’s just temporary!

We visited the restaurant for a birthday celebration for my wife & her sister. We were all very happy with the food and the service. However it was cold in the restaurant and my brother in law kept his coat on throughout the evening. None of us were comfortable. Also, we wanted to order the aperitif from the October specials but were told it was not possible. Not sure why it was on the menu!

It didn’t feel COVID safe, as waiters were hovering over us and seemed to be carelessly touching everything. They seated another group of people far too close to us. We were also given two bottles of warm tap water (!)

Food wasn’t hot enough. Staff forgot to bring us some food that we had ordered and some sauces; when we reminded a waitress about it she said she finished her shift but will tell someone to help us out. We had two kids with us and at no point a staff member offered to provide an activity book (it was only brought to our table when we asked for it). Overall, not the best experience.

Food was delicious but service was very hit and miss. We either had no service for ages or s constant stream of people. Would definitely return despite this little hiccup!

The fish stew was amazing - a real French taste to it which was a real treat given we have not been able to go back to the French sea side for so long...

As per usual, we had a very enjoyable evening at Cote (this time at the St albans restaurant), with several dishes particularly memorable (incl the crepe grand marnier - which four out of the five of us had and which we all rated as excellent). However, there were a couple of missteps, which is unusual for Cote, principally related to the lack of figs in any of the specials (the promise of figs in several dishes was highlighted in their advertising that I received for Oct and so, as a fig lover, I was particularly disappointed). The Dubonnet aux Figues cocktail was actually devoid of them, with dried rose petals floating on top instead (we were not warned about this before they were brought to the table and we had to use our forks to sweep it to one side). The cocktail was overly sweet and seemingly lacking much alcohol at all (it should have included gin as well). The pork tenderloin, which should also have had figs, did not and mashed potato was substituted - tho the dish worked very well and was most enjoyable. These relatively minor quibbles, however, did not detract overly from what was still a very good meal for the five of us.
