Côte Brighton restaurant

Fabulous food and service as usual. Had the complimentary blood orange martinis, my mum wasn’t keen on this drink, the manager said try a sip and if you don’t like have a kit royal instead. This extra mile of service was much appreciated. Well done and thank you.

Lovely atmosphere friendly staff and good food.seated promptly by friendly staff, order taken in good time, staff very helpful food came quickly very tasty, nothing to fault.

Poor menu choices for starters and nibbles. Service slow and gin menu very limited.

4 friends had the pre-theatre meal, all different choices and the meals were excellent. I had the Butternut Squash Cake which I could thoroughly recommend.The service we received form our waitress was outstanding. Thank you Cotes in Brighton.

Great ambience, cocktail , food and service, Cote is always a winner

Friendly and officiant staff. The food was really delicious and there was plenty of it. Certainly good value for money. We were welcomed and spoken to by many of the staff in a very friendly way. No complaints!

As always, great food and service. Really enjoyed the evening. We had a great waitress who helped with choice of wine and food. Quick service too.

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff. Cote is our family favourite

Great food and great service, we went to the Brighton restaurant for my partners birthday and they made him feel very special. With a glass of Prosecco each, a candle in his pudding and sung happy birthday! Thank you!

We are new to Brighton and have added Cote Brassiere to our list of regular favorites that we enjoy going to for great lunches. The food is very good, the service is friendly and responsive, and the atmosphere is one of a busy, but easygoing, relaxed cafe.

Superb food, service and building. A little bit of France in Brighton

I love Cote ! It’s one of my favourite places to go in Brighton.... it’s great value for money and the staff are always attentive lovely and friendly the food is great too .... I’ve been to the Cote’s in Horsham and Chichester but Brighton beats them hands down every time. I’m also glad that the staff get all there tips

Another really lovely meal at Cote on a busy weekend evening - and some very enjoyable blood orange martinis through Cote Rewards! The staff are great, very attentive, particular compliments must go to Andrew who is the perfect host.

Enjoyable experience with complimentary bottle of wine through Saga/Cote collaboration, and a birthday dessert Five stars tonight

Both great waitresses. Accommodating, efficient and kind to let us order til 7pm menu at 7pm. I had phoned to say we’d be late. Great food, wine and value

Everyone enjoyed their starters, the crab mayonnaise being a highlight for me, delicious! We enjoyed red and rose wine at the table (there were 7 of us), the pink sancerre is an old favourite of ours and we order it every time we come to Côte. I have to say that whilst my Veal was perfect, two of my friends ordered the beef bourguignon and it looked very dry on arrival. They asked for extra sauce each and after 5 minutes a tiny ramekin of it turned up for them to share! I would have expected this dish to be swimming in luscious dark sauce! All I. All we have a great time and service was spot on as usual. Thank you

Fabulous service, great food apart from a couple of main courses but replaced and taken from bill. Love this place and the experience.

Really good night. Have been coming here for years with consistent high level of service so seemed like an obvious choice for my 50th. This remains our “go to” restaurant and staff were very helpful and attentive Highly recommended !!

Excellent service and excellent food The pre theatre deal was good value. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back again. Thank you

As always we enjoyed our meal at Côte in Brighton the food is very good and the selection is always very varied,the wine selection is also good

We had a wonderful meal, great service, even though it was very busy the staff kept returning to our table to check on us. Food lovely and fresh as always. Thank you.

Dear Sirs It is with regret that the service my wife and I received was poor. on arrival we were shown to our table and the evening appeared to be starting well. Our first course followed which was enjoyable and it was from this point on that the evening went regrettably down hill. We noted that the table next to ours had received their main course even though they had arrived some 30 minutes after we had. My wife's meal followed after some time without mine. When her meal was delivered the manager then had to ask me "what had I ordered as there was a mix up in the kitchen even though it was him that took the order in the first place. My wife then asked whether the fries could be re-heated as they were very cold. The manager then took away her fries and then left her the plate of food to go cold instead of taking it back to the kitchen. At this point I was still without my main course. He shortly returned with the fries heated and I was then told that "there had been a mix up in the kitchen and my meal would arrive shortly, which it did although some 15 minutes had now gone by and the birthday dinner was now ruined. I have to say that this is not the first, second or even third time that this has happened to us and only last year our anniversary was again ruined by very poor service which resulted in Cotes sending me a £100.00 voucher. Talking to friends this now appears to be common practice in Cote's in that when friends arrive for dinner one person is left out and has to wait for their food whilst everyone else is eating theirs. It is so common in fact that our close friend who drove us to Cote's had been in with five friends for lunch and again one of them was forgotten and had to eat her meal on her own as by the time hers arrived everyone else had finished. The other issue that appears to be very common is 'cold food'. It does strike me as quite odd in that we observed the food being brought up from the kitchen and the guy then standing around for many minutes waiting for a manager to deliver the food to the table. We observed in one case a wait of 6 minute for the manager to take the food to the table, and yet again a short while later the table complained that their food was cold and had to be taken back to the kitchen. What is a worrying trend for Cote's is that the same mistakes appear to be happening time and time again and no one is actually getting to grips with the problem. That said our waiter was "absolutely fabulous" however regrettably we did not manage to take his name, although we know he is from Porto in Portugal and dealt with our issues in an extremely efficient professional way. Our opinion of the management (and other regulars feel the it to) is not the same. They appear cold, aloof and when the wheels are coming off they are no where to be seen and stand by the bar and let the floor staff deal with the issues even though they are the ones taking the orders and then not supporting the waiters and waitresses. Yes we are very disappointed in that for the fourth time Cote's have let us down on an important day be it, birthdays, anniversaries or graduations and regrettably it will be while before we return.

We where late arriving but called ahead to let them know, they seemed surprised that we would think to do that , so very pleased. Service was excellent even though they where rushed off their feet. Food excellent as always. I was there with three Côte virgins! they loved it. We had their early evening( lunch to 7pm) menu two set prices such good value and makes choosing much easier. Would highly recommend this branch, especially if you’re visiting the dome theatre it’s opposite.

Waited for waiter to take our order a long time - after 15 minutes managed to call him to our table to take our order. Then had a long wait for our first course, and another long wait for our main meal. The belly pork one of us ordered was so well done that I could not cut it and asked for a steak knife but even that would not cut it. There was no time for a dessert course as we were going to a show and we were running late by then. It was particularly annoying to see the same waiter serving other people who came in after us very promptly and of course they finished dining before us and left the restaurant.

Lovely food and great service from friendly helpful staff :) Nice atmosphere and a good varied menu with lots of good value specials as well as the à la carte menu!

Fabulous meal and service.We chose the prestige set menu which had great choices and was very tasty Complimentary Kir Royals for my partners birthday which was a lovely touch.Thank You

Overall a good lunch time get together for three ladies "out to lunch". We all decided to choose from the lunch time special menu. Two out of three of us were very happy with our choices. but my friend who chose the fish dish received a very small portion and felt pressured into having to have a side dish too - so not such good value for her. Always lively chatter going on in Cote but this time rather noisier than usual. But no problem! We'll be back again soon.

We had booked as it would be busy. We both had a very good three course meal from different menus. The food was great as well as the atmpshoer and the staff were attentive and helpful.

Cote Brighton is a grear place to have a meal before going to Theatre Royal. A very nice experience from the minute you entered the restaurant. A lovely welcome from the staff and very friendly and efficient service throughout the meal. Delicious food and wine.

I have been here many times and it just gets better and better, the food is incredible the service was flawless and the whole experience is just perfect! P.s Try the duck!!

As always you can rely on good service and excellent food. Ideal for special occasions or anytime. We know that we will never be disappointed when we eat at a Cote. Considering the number of diners, you always feel you are getting personal service.

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Short walk to the bars and pubs in the area. We had the monkfish which we strongly recommend. Amazing. Would come back

I came here last night for my birthday, the waitress was rude and unhelpful, she said they had no vegan bread when we asked someone else they said they did, we called in advance to see if they would make a vegan meal for one of us and they said that would be ok, when it came to ordering it took half an hour, only a mushroom salad was offers to the vegan that came with ONE mushroom. My food was over cooked and has no taste. No one complimented the food. The service was awful and I will not be coming here again. I will make sure my friends steer clear aswell.

Out if this world!! Love the staff especially front of house girl, such a lovely place!

Every thing was just amazing ! Really enjoyed my lunch even tho it was my leaving do ! The waiter was just cute and very lovely ! Tks a lot for my day 😍

Good as usual. Never been disappointed at Cote. Good value for money, several menus to choose from for most pockets. Consistent good standards of well cooked and presented food. We particularly recommend their creme caramel for dessert.

Valentines menu was overall really nice. There was a lack in vegetarian or fish option for the main course. The only option without meat was the risotto and I personally found it a bit overdone and it had too much pepper. Other than that starters and desserts were lovely!

Very good dining experience all round celebrating 50 years of friendsbip. All four of us were made to feel special, Will be eating there again soon.

As always, a lovely evening at Cote. Always friendly and efficient, good food, good value. And no pressure to leave which is always appreciated.

Really good food except for the main course of one of our party of 6 where the meat was gristly. Their meal was replaced very quickly and courteously. The cost of that meal was also taken off of the bill as a good will gesture without any request for this. Everyone else very much enjoyed their food and all appreciated the good service by the team there.

Wonderful food, service and ambience Cote Brighton has it all! Beautiful building and the staff are always warm and charming. Seat by the window is always good and look forward to another visit soon!

Our favourite resturant, They were very busy but the staff were really good & the food was excellent. It was our 47th wedding anniversary & we were given a glass of champagne each. Really enjoyed it

Really lovely lunch at Cote, Brighton - great food and service - we will be back!

Lovely food and service as always, never fault it. Always recommend.

We had the most wonderful first experience at Côte, the food and the service. The staff went above and beyond for what I requested, we had a lovely time. Thank you so much to the kind ladies that served us

Good food as always - The Fish Parmentier and Pork Belly were very nice. Slower service than normal upstairs but more peaceful setting for Mother’s Day.

Atmosphere was very good and the staff were so polite and attentive. We enjoyed the night. Thank you

Very friendly staff and good food in lovely location. Great for a birthday treat, I would recommend it for an occasional as building feels very grand

Service was very friendly and attentive, food was exceptional as always. The only downside was the noise, but that is sort of expected for a Saturday night. Excellent as always overall, will return very soon!

A great brunch at Cote! Thanks to the staff for looking after us
