All the food and the service was excellent. Would have been good to have olive oil dip with bread and olives. Otherwise, an excellent meal.

I normally have an amazing time at Cote but the place was too hot , my pudding was soggy and we had to wait ages before our order was taken. Disappointing experience.

I've eaten at Cote several times. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. It was very busy but the staff were still attentive and efficient. A consistently good place to eat.

We were greeted on arrival by manager who was delightful. The service overall was first class. The food was up to its usual high standard. Have been visiting Brighton branch from first day it opened and only once have had an issue, which was speedily resolved. Thank you

The air-con was broken and it was extremely hot upstairs. The staff looked like they'd collapse. There were places downstairs but we weren't offered one.

A great place to go to celebrate anything. Feels like a little bit of Paris in Brighton. Not cheap- but not ridiculously priced either. The food is good and consistent, but it's the atmosphere that makes it worth the visit. Try and sit downstairs as upstairs feels a little out of the buzz. The creme caramel is worth the trip alone......

We have never been disappointed with the food and service here. It is also close to the theatre and shows nearby. Early dinners are very good value

The service was very attentive and our meals were served promptly. The onion soup was excellent but asparagus was not presented well and a little unappetizing. Creme caramel and creme brulee were lovely but it was disappointing that apple crumble could not be served with custard. The vin maison was fine.

The staff were polite, cheerful and helpful and the food was superb. Two small points that dropped the score from 6 to 5, and those were 1) there was quite a wait between courses, which we could understand for the main course, as it was all freshly cooked and beautiful, but the dessert was a pre-prepared one, and could have been with us within minutes, especially as the restaurant was by no means full; and 2) there was a service charge on the bill, which we were quite happy to pay, as the staff had all been very good, but we would like to have had the choice of how much to reward them.

Service very slow we waited over 10 minutes to place an order and our food came before our drinks which we had to chase. This isn't always the case at this restaurant have always had great service possibly just an off day. Food was good.

Good value 2 course lunch menu. Food very good, but sadly we all found the portions too generous and had to leave some. Service rather slow - perhaps our server was new.

My wife and I were treating my sister and brother-in-law on their 40th wedding anniversary and we were hoping our visit to Cote would be suitably special and memorable. Happily, our expectations were met in lots of ways. The enthusiastic welcome, and attentive service throughout our stay, meant we could concentrate on enjoying our food and conversation. All of us were impressed by the quality of our individual menu choices which were not only delicious but also presented with care and flair. If I had to point to one downside it was that the first pouting of white wine was not as chilled as it should have been. However, it arrived at the table with an ice bucket, which meant that subsequent pourings were fine. Altogether a really pleasurable experience.

Was greeted and seated. Drinks order taken. The food order was taken following delivery of our drinks. We didn't have to wait long to be served and the bacon and egg salad we had as starter was delicious. We followed this with the chicken dish with the beans, olives and tomato. To end the meal we just enjoyed a coffee. Altogether a very enjoyable dining experience

Pleasant meal. Noisy venue. Staff a bit distracted, made several errors in serving and had to be reminded what to bring, including cutlery and water! Seemed to be getting things from other tables rather than all tables already set.

It was May Bank holiday Sunday and inevitably the restaurant was very busy. Service was generally up to our expected standard but rather slow, probably because it was busy. We had to remind the waitress twice about our wine order. However the food was excellent as usual.

WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL DINERS AT COTE FOR MANY YEARS - MAINLY IN BRIGHTON BUT ALSO LONDON. WE CHOOSE COTE BECAUSE THE SERVICE IS GREAT, THE PRE-THEATRE MENU IS GOOD VALUE AND THE FOOD IS CONSISTENTLY GOOD. REGRETABLY THIS COULD NOT BE SAID OF OUR LAST TWO VISITS TO BRIGHTON. THE CHICKEN (FROM THE A LA CARTE MENU) WAS VERY OVERCOOKED ON ONE OCCASION, AS WAS THE SEABASS LAST NIGHT. MY ASPARAGUS STARTER WAS ALSO TOUGH AND STRINGY. PERHAPS THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE OF CHEF, OR WE HAVE BEEN UNLUCKY. LET'S HOPE IT'S THE LATTER!

Lovely atmosphere and fairly mid range for pricing we had a lovely table by the window - we weren't entirely happy with one of our main courses but as always the customer comes first here and they replaced the dish and gave us a complimentary pudding to say sorry. Excellent service and a thoroughly lovely meal. Dee, Brighton.

The service was good, however the food was not up to the usual standard. I had the asparagus risotto which was ok but covered in wilted discoloured watercress! My husband had the chicken,avocado, salad and due to the stacking system, (fine for hot food,) didn't work as the salad was warm , very unpleasant. Overall we felt the standard had dropped sadly.

We requested and received a table by the window as it can be rather noisy when busy. The food and service were very good. Good value at £10.95 for two courses. My companions particularly enjoyed the Cream Caramel and the Peach Crumble with ice cream. A good experience.

Excellent service & tasty food well presented. Although they were very busy, as usual in Brighton, our requirement to be away by 19.00 was met exactly.
