Côte St Albans

Lovely food as always. Service good to start but got progressively worse through the evening with us having to ask for plates to be cleared etc. However they still charge their 12.5% gratuity!!!

Food was is exceptionally quick, but everyone seemed to enjoy it. Great location, just arrive a little early to allow for parking. I would return

Great friendly service from Maya and Caroline. Very attentive but not intrusive, food for the kids came very quickly which was great. Always a great time at Cote.

The waitress was really moody all night And although the food was nice, the portions was so tiny for the price I paid Would of been nice to have a waitress who actually smiled

We had the early menu which consists of 2 courses for £10.95. Excellent value and good choice of food on menu. Service efficient and polite

Catered very well for anyone with dietary restrictions (gluten free menu is extensive). Food was delicious and the service was lovely! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Very helpful staff, cheerfully pulling tables together to accommodate us. The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice on the set menu which is reasonably priced.

My two companions were happy with their food, although my duck was a little dry. I've been there many times but for the first time I noticed a scented smell in the air, rather like that of a toilet freshener: not pleasant and not conducive to eating. Perhaps the candles were scented but whatever it was, it didn't work for me. Service good, as always.

We always enjoy visiting The Cote in St Albans it is my favourite restaurant everyone is very friendly and always helpful can't wait to go back

Good everything really good evening out, never fails to impress food fast and tastes amazing, would definitely recommend to a all ages! Lemon tart is amaze

My own dish was fine, bur my wife went for one of the specials which was chicken. She found it dry and it tasted as if it had been pre cooked and heated up. Deserts were nice as always. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Our first visit. Celebrating husband's birthday with lunch while in St. Albans. Good quality food at reasonable price and friendly service. Would definitely go back again.

Food pretty good, , more vegetarian options needed with out nuts. Service quite quick and friendly. Front door needed fixing as kept banging with a draught.

Visited 29.4.17 but two dishes on the menu not available which we were not told about by the waitress; only found out when we tried to order them. Found alternatives on the menu and the manageress very kindly deducted something from the bill to compensate. All in all would visit Cote again.

Great food and service as usual. The only thing I really don't like is the "optional 12.5% service" which I know I can ask to be left off but the restaurant really should not add it on in the first place.

As usual the food and service were up to their usual standard. Perhaps a variation to their early menu including say a salad for a main course as it it coming up to summer would be good.

Three of us visited for a weekday lunch and all enjoyed it. We had Friendly and attentive service. Great food and a pleasant environment. Were looking forward to returning.

First visit to Côte - St. Albans. Early table as time was tight, warm greeting by pleasant knowledgable staff. Light and comfortable, professional service and great food. To be recommended as I'll visit again

We booked for lunch at Cote in St. Albans on Mothers Day. We have been coming to Cote in St. Albans alot over the years but for the price charged we were very surprised how small the portion size has become - particularly the Belly of Pork, the duck and the lamb shank - I have large boys and they left hungry!!!. My husband had the tuna salad and there was no real flavouring on the salad. Finally the liqeur coffees we ordered were the smallest I have ever seen and ridiculous priced at £4.95. Disappointing for the price and we won't be returning.

Excellent food with a very good and varied menu. Friendly atmosphere with the right sort of ambience for a relaxed evening. Service was swift without being overpowering! Creme brulee is to die for!!!

Food/cooking was good value. French beer was pretty mediocre - but then it always is! Service polite and attentive. The decor and ambiance is good.

Food was delicious. Service was very nice. Ambiance at the time we went (5pm- very late lunch!) was very loud, full of young parents and very noisy babies! The restaurant would benefit from a general 'tart up' its starting to look very tired.

st albans cote not as good as the welwyn garden city branch the food and the general look of the place the glutton free food is always a good choice

Great french menu - just enough choice but always enjoyable. Attentive staff who know when to leave alonne as well as aware. Always enjoy visiting Cote.

Was rather chilly in the St Albans branch last night as air con on full blast, so we were reallocated seating nearer the back. Unfortunately, this seemed to be the noisy area and couldn't hear the waiter. Overall (once noisy people gone) though the experience was good. Service was very good and food average, if a little overpriced. The best part were the delicious desserts, creme brulee and creme caramel, amazing.

Very enjoyable meal. The staff were friendly and efficient. Nice ambiance in the restaurant and not too noisy. Courses served in good time with no delays, even though we were dining on a Friday night and the restaurant was full. The rewards scheme is very helpful for advance booking and allowed us to get a table in the restaurant at 3 hours notice.

Not the busiest of nights so ambiance was a bit lacking but compensated for by helpful and attentive staff during a relaxed and unrushed dinner. Excellent whitebait was a starter highs pot.

We chose this restaurant for a birthday celebration and we're not disappointed. A very good menu and attentive staff made for a very nice meal at this restaurant.

Came for Mother's Day brunch-Lovely food, service wasn't as good as I expected it to be-our waiter wasn't very warm or efficient or clear of what we wanted for our order. Our drinks took a long time to come- I appreciate it was a busy time but think it could have been prepared for a bit better knowing it was going to a busy period. Having said this we would come again, just a few tweeks needed to be even more successful and sharp!

Visited st albans last night, once again the staff were very attentive and food amazing. We like the menu because it's different and choices suit all tastes. Well Done

It was a busy day so it may be the reason the steak was on the cool side and the special dessert seemed overtired and overcooked. Not up to their usual best, felt a bit like a chain restaurant meal - which for many years it has managed to rise well above.

Always enjoyable, quality of food excellent and Mothers Day glass of champagne went down very well with my wife. If I had any criticism they didn't have any marmalade for our toast!!!

The service was good and attentive and ambience fine but the quality of food could be improved. Looked like re-heating of vegetables; dried out potatoes.

good food good choice well looked after sensible portions good waiter better than raymond blanc and cafe rouge thoughtful touch of water carafe not sure about the 12.5% service

Very enjoyable as usual. Food consistently good with a nice variety of specials. We enjoy coming and use Cote St Albans quite regularly. Thank you

Service was efficient and the food was excellent, as always. Despite it being a busy day (Mothering Sunday) the staff were extremely welcoming and did not appear overwhelmed. Our main courses arrived quickly and were very hot. Dessert was faultless too. And the final bill very reasonable. My mum really enjoyed her meal :)

Everything was really, really perfect - food, welcome, service. Great value for money as well. One of our favourite places. Particularly enjoyed the "Vegetarian" (non-meat) cooked breakfast with a vegetarian sausage.

Very good food and friendly staff. The breakfast was great but still have problems getting hot toast. Their formule breakfast is good value. Will definitely return.

Cote Brasserie was as good as it always is. The service was friendly and prompt - we love the Kir Royale to start with; especially the initial, complementary one.

Food was very very good. Great choice also. Staff very friendly and helpful too. Get the impression that nothing is too much bother for them. Will definitely be going again.
