I usually have the calamari, which is usually delicious, but it was very overcooked and hard. The duck was also overcooked, and not hot Very disappointed.

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.

Went for lunch on a Sunday at 1pm Was quiet on arrival so service was very prompt, had Pork belly that was cooked to perfection, waiter recommended special dessert which was delicious. Even when it got busier was just a nice relaxed & happy atmosphere

I ordered the cassoulet after seeing it advertised on the website, when it came it was nothing like the picture. The portion was small, the beans were tasteless and the meat seemed to have been added afterwards in the form of a very small duck leg and sausage. My friend's stew was similarly lacking oomph. The waitresses were lovely and service good but the food has gone downhill over the past year.Pity. I hope it picks up.

Cote in Brighton is our regular one although we do visit the one in Lewis too (also excellent!) and in London (various depends where we go ). The standard is always excellent and last Saturday the service of the waiter (s) working as a team very good indeed. The food as always was delicious - so big thanks to the kitchen staff as well :-)

Didn’t eat for over an hour. The food had apparently gone off in the fridge. We waited along time and when it finally came wasn’t bad. Ordered poached eggs, Closer to hard boiled. Table next to us complained and got a free breakfast. We didn’t. I don’t like to complain except for now haha.

The spring rhubarb martini is amazing . Had swordfish , which was cooked really well , the waitress was lovely and friendly , overall really nice, food is definitely better when you don’t have the fixed menu in Cote . Only thing , I wanted a vodka soda and piece of lime . Cote don’t have fresh lime , please get some .

Had lunch with friends today and without exception we all enjoyed the set lunch. Waiter very friendly and service time excellent. Great value for money but having visited several Côte Brasseries I find the same exception service and value across all their establishments.

Majority of our meals were very good but the chicken was dry needed a sauce, the beans were hard pity as we usually have no complaints. I have booked again for the 14th same friends let's hope meals are back to the usual level - excellent.

Lovely setting and staff. However really disappointed with the meal size as where the majority of our group. We’re not massive eaters but I have never left a restaurant after a three course meal as hungry as I did from cote. The mains were crying out for a potatoe side dish or something if that nature. Myself and my daughter had the sea bream. Which looked small when it arrived and was gone in under 5 minutes. Will I be back unfortunately I dont think so as we go out to be satisfied and the food served did not do this.

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.

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.

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!

Good food. Poor service. We didn’t get our complimentary cocktail, nor the olives we ordered. We had to ask for the table to be cleared. We were sitting next to a dirty serving area. Worst Côte experience to date.

We had a great time at Cote last night. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient. We arrived at 8.00pm having booked a table for three people. Although the restaurant was very busy we were quickly shown to our table and given menus. We ordered flatbreads to share whilst we ordered our starters and main courses. We were very happy with our choice of food. I had the onion soup as a starter and my wife and friend shared the smoked salmon dish. Both tasted delicious. Our friend ordered the sea bass as her main course and my wife and I had the fish parmentier. These were again very tasty. We finished off the meal with two creme caramels. Throughout our meal the staff were very attentive. We were given just the right amount of time between the courses to make the evening relaxed and not rushed. We were given a free bottle of wine as I had previously opted to join their email list. I think there are quite a few good offers available online and in local publications if you look out for them. A friend of mine often enjoys the pre-theatre menu. We had a really good time. We don’t often eat in ‘chain’ restaurants but Cote is definitely our favourite. We will return.

Food and service was great. A couple of minor things not worth mentioning I.e had to request new gratin potato as only half full and table not wiped properly upon arrival. Still a fab night. Thank you.

Excellent, friendly service. Main restaurant was very noisy but we were moved to the outdoor terrace, which was quiet and not cold. Food was very good and well presented. Waitress very attentive. Will certainly go again.
