The online booking system was easy to use. The service was very good. And I was particularly pleased to see that there was a vegetarian menu.

Pleased to report that this week service had improved compared to my last visit last week . Food was good but rather surprised the duck parfait from last months set menu was served as the terrine on the set menu ,I didn't mind as I enjoyed the duck parfait last time .It would have been nice to be told it was different from what was stated on the menu .that is why you don't get a perfect score ,we regulars do notice little things like this .

Cote Brighton has amazing decadent feel about the place. The breakfast we was amazing, I had the Vegi Breakfast which was very tasty and my husband had the Eggs Benedict which he loved. The staff were both helpful and attentive but never intrusive a perfect experience 5*.

Delicious food -bit over priced but service good and food excellent. I would have liked to have sat outside-however this was my first visit here and I was unaware that there was a large outside area to the back.

Consistently good. Great food with charming, friendly service. The only thing that let it down was no loo paper and a leak in the Ladies loos.

Normally love Cote but service was under par and ordered items forgotten or incorrect on 2/3 courses. Drink spilled by accident but no offer of help given or new napkins goven throughout whole meal, even though the waitress was there when it happened. Charged twice for spilled drinks also. Would have taken service off bill (which was already added to bill, even though there were only 2 and a half covers) but too awkward to ask.

Lovely food, service okay (waitress seemed to want to be anywhere but at work). Given a complimentary drink for a birthday which we were then charged for... it also didn't help that we had four drunk, lecherous men next to our pre theatre family gathering.

All fine without being outstanding. Steak was quite fatty and gristly. Quality in Café Rouge is much better. Staff good and atmosphere buzzing so that helped.

I went for a lunch with my friends to my local Cote Brasserie in Brighton. The restaurant was very busy. The food was good, as usual and he had a good time. The conversation was difficult because of the noise surrounding us. Well, everyone else talked. like us. I'm afraid that my favourite restaurant is becoming the victim of its own success.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Cote last night. Asked for a quiet table as it was very busy and got it. Food was speedily delivered and delicious. I would have given a top rating had they not forgotten to bring water - we got it when we reminded them. I'll certainly be going again.

We have visited Cote many times, sadly last night the service was poor. After waiting over 30 minutes we had to ask for the waiter to take our order, this should not be the case. Having said that the did food did come quickly.

Although our previous experience of dinner have been very good we were both disappointed with some parts of our meal.However,having brought the specific issues to the waiter,we were impressed when, without making a fuss we were reimbursed with the cost of one of the main dishes.We would certainly go to this restaurant again,however as the quality is usually good.

Reasonably good, but I did not enjoy this visit as much as other visits. First we were offered to be seated upstairs, it was extremely hot up there and quite dark, which would have been ok f it hasn't been v light out. They moved us as soon as I requested. Restaurant is pleasant and spacious. Downstairs we were seated right opposite the door, good as cooler but had a queque of people to our side. The service was ok but not especially attentive. The gluten free menu is good but the dish I chose, poulet grille was quite plain and there was an extra charge for a sauce, which was a nice wild mushroom and creme fraiche one, but for some reason this was just included on the ordinary menu. Desserts were good. I have enjoyed other visits more but generally like this place.

Lovely meal with friend at Cote Brighton. Smoked Mackerel Rilletts starter was delicious. A few salad leaves were pale and sad around the edges. Sea Bass main also excellent. Won't have the choc pot dessert again; a bit small. Good value set meal.

I have been a fairly regular customer at this branch over the years but the last few times I have noticed the service standards are not as professional as they used to be ,it's the attention to detail that seems to have gone .The food is nearly always excellent ,although on occasions cold but this has always been rectified immediately .One thing today was the fact I paid cash for the meal & had to ask for the change & receipt ,this is not the first time this has happened .It was not a large amount but with the 12-5% service charge already on the bill change should be returned to the customer .I did have a word with the meeter & greeter /maitre d' about the service as I felt she needed to know as you may be losing customers because of little things like this .I have a table booked next week hopefully things will have improved .

love the food - but I had booked for a working lunch with a colleague under my name - I arrived early and was seated but when she arrived she was told I wasn't there and was seated elsewhere - I did not see her - so we were waiting for each other to arrive for 45 minutes (her phone was out of order). I think this was the restaurant's fault.
