Excellent service and delicious brunch. Would recommend the vegetarian breakfast or the eggs florentine. Staff very friendly and attentive. Spacious tables with plenty of room for our baby pram. Will definitely be back.

Excellent brunch this morning - would only have been improved by more prompt arrival of our tea/coffee as we had virtually finished eating by the time they arrived.

A super restaurant! We were greated well on arrival and seated promptly. Our food was good - even a small issue with a slightly overdone starter was quickly replaced and deducted from our bill. Atmosphere was good - staff attentive and friendly!! A good restaurant to have locally!

Arrived and was greeted by a very friendly young man. Was asked where we would like to sit As it was my birthday we had complimentry kir royales which went down very nicely! We had the set menu which was very nice we had steak which has a supplement of £2 We had dificulty choosing wine which is reasonabe for resaraunt prices. The waiter helped by giving us a blind tasting and amazilngly we chose house wine which was very nice we had a very good day thank you

We were a party of seven and we were pleased with our meals. Service was slower than we would have liked and I think there is an assumption that when a large party are out for a meal, that is their priority for the day. In fact we all had to make long journeys home that afternoon. Nevertheless a pleasant meal and excellent value as usual.

The free wine was of poor quality, calamari very good as were main courses albeit the pork belly was salty. The tarte citron was sent back twice as it was stale and the pastry wet and spongy. This was replaced by a tarte tatin that was so unbelieveably sweet that it was inedible. Staff courteous but the manager was clearly stressed due to how busy the restaurant was. Overall the worst Cote meal that we have had which is a shame as generally very good indeed as experienced in Exeter, London and Bishops Stortford.

Had a lovely meal and service was good too! Only issue was they kept leaving door to back garden open and the cold draught was awful! Apparently table across from us was too warm which we found very hard to believe. We left before deserts in the end.

Food and wine extremely good, and service quick. A glass with wine was accidently dropped and broken. After having it cleared up, the manager replaced it with another glass of wine - impressive.

Food could not be faulted. Service sloppy, it has not improved with time. Tiny bottles of beer at sky high prices is a put off.

The staff are polite and reasonably efficient. You are never waiting too long which is important to me. Don't like the fact that they automatically add 12.5% on to the bill, but I asked them to remove it and they did promptly. I paid a tip separately,Food is always nice and tasty - we went for the light and early and had a lovely meal. I had the pear and goats cheese salad - very tasty but only a small amount. For main, I had the chicken and couscous - small portion, but at the end I was completely satisfied. My husband said he would have liked a little more, but it was fine.

Went to COTE in St Albans with wife and friends. We received a warm welcome, with immediate drinks and nibbles while we chose our preferred dishes. We had a 3 course meal with wine and coffee. The food was excellent, and arrived promptly and carefully served. The bottle of house white wine was very pleasant and suited our choice of meals. We spent nearly 3 hours there, and yet we never felt rushed, in fact the service was attentive and first class. We have always enjoyed eating in Cote restaurants, and this one certainly maintained their high reputation in our opinion.

Food was a bit processed and felt as if it had not been freshly made. We had to ask a few times to get items requested such as water or mayonnaise.

We had a good welcome and our waiter was attentive. Our meals were cooked to a good standard. However one main course and one dessert did not come at the same time as the rest of the order. Apart from that it was a very enjoyable lunch
