Soup starter arrived Luke warm and main course took an hour and a half to arrive. Very slow service. Not what I expect from Cote.

The evening didn’t start that well when we were placed at a table at the back of the restaurant instead of the front as requested, other than that the evening was great, there were a couple of minor hiccups during service but they were quickly rectifyed, overall great service, great food, and my first choice restaurant when I come into Brighton

Disappointing I booked a table for 6 pm for 4 people. Booked a month in advance asked for a window seat . We were meeting our friends we hadn’t seen since November. Didn’t get one . Two of us were going to the dome for 730 pm . We told the manager this said we needed to leave by 7.15 pm that’s why I booked table early.Service was very slow. By 7.10 pm our food still hadn’t arrived and we ordered it at 630 pm . We ended up leaving our husbands in the restaurant without eating both starving having to go to our concert on empty stomachs . I was so upset this was meant to be a special catch up . My friend and I ended up going for pizza on our own after the concert at 10 pm at night while our husbands were in the pub and we met them about 11 pm this is not the night I planned and extremely disappointed. They were very busy and not enough staff on . We usually love Cote but on this occasion it was poor . I not complaining about the food as we didn’t get any but our husbands had a nice meal shame we couldn’t have all eaten together

Pleasant, vibrant pre-theatre atmosphere. Conveniently situated for the Dome, Pavilion and Theatre Royal. Food generally ok, likewise service. One main disappointment was the Prestige Specials chicken dish was very dry.

Had a really wonderful lunch with one of my closest friends. The food and service was excellent. Very friendly and cheerful and didn`t rush us at all. The cocktails and Cremant de Bourgoyne bubbly made it a perfect day out in Brighton in a lovely environment. Highly recommend and we`ll definitely come back. Thank you to all the staff especially our waiter who looked after us so well.

As someone with a long list of food intolerances, eating out is normally quite a stressful experience for me. Our french waitress, Rachel, made the whole process stress-free and was extremely accommodating and courteous. I enjoyed a starter and a main course - a rare occurrence as starters are usually particularly difficult. The rhubarb martini was delicious! Although the restaurant was packed the service was quick and very attentive.

As always excellent food and service at the Cote Brasserie, this time first experience of the one in Brighton. Staff knew without asking that we had a free bottle of wine deal, which was great. All 3 courses were delicious particularly the Duck and the sharing dessert Assiette Gourmand. Service was friendly fast and efficient without ever making you feel rushed. Slight pity that we were only allowed to select from the St Valentines Special Menu but I guess the company has a reason for this policy. But there was a good choice and as said it was all delicious.

One of our side dishes was a little over cooked, we had to chase for our bottle of wine and one of the drinks brought out was incorrect. Not the usual high standard of service however, still a good meal experience.

I booked the table at cote Brighton 2 weeks ago after we took my Daughter for lunch. The service was outstanding. My daughter was excited and asked if she could come here for her 13th birthday celebration. I booked the table 2 weeks in advance for 8 people. The table was booked for 6.30 so we could be home as my children had school the next day. We arrived at 6.15 and had a table upstairs, we ordered our food at 6.40 and did not eat until 8.00. Our meal was finished at 9.00pm. My 13 year old wasted her whole evening at cote, yes we had money off the bill but my daughter 13 th celebration was not as we had planned. Yes Cote was busy but we booked 2 weeks ago and were expected. Totally disappointed.

Front of house was absolutely useless apart from directing people to their seats. She didn't know how to direct staff. We sat outside which was very busy because of the weather with only 2 staff. We waited ages for our drinks. People arriving after us got their drinks first.. the same with our food. I watched 3 groups of people leave. I only left a tip because the girl who served us seemed to be the only one working. I hate to see this injustice in the work place. When we were leaving walking through the restaurant this front of house person was standing around with at least 4 members of staff just talking and we were ignored as we left as if we were an inconvenience. I expect a lot of your diners felt the same. A little bit of staff training would not go a miss or perhaps someone who knows what they are doing. I would never visit your restaurant again. I hope the girl who served us does get her tip as it was well deserved.
