Beautiful venue with fantastic service. The menu lacks vegetarian choice though. This could be improved. Otherwise a great experience. The food was lovely and the service was fantastic, a great night out.

The staff are pleasant and helpful. There was a longer wait than normal for our first drinks. The food was very good with plenty of it. An enjoyable meal

Seriously disappointing. Last year we used your restaurant and it was great so we booked again this year to celebrate our daughters birthday. Arrived at 2pm and shown to seat, meal arrived starter not great but ok. Main meal is the real issue. My daughters chips arrived cold and we needed to send them back, here peas where horrible, looked like they had been overcooked or left out too long, she wouldn't touch them. My Husbands beef was clearly reheated though he said it tasted ok.... but it was definitely microwaved or reheated. My seabass was tasty but I ended up ill for the afternoon. Not a good experience overall. I would have made more of a fuss at the restaurant but my daughter is very stressed in confrontational situations so wouldn't allow me. I will not be going again

Staff were lovely food good cocktail delicious all very good

As always a perfect meal and ambiance at Brighton with the usual exceptional service. Thank you!

Came here for an enjoyable dinner and that’s exactly what we got, fast and friendly service, delicious food, and even a bottle of wine on the house!

Buzzing with customers and a great atmosphere. Staff very welcoming and efficient. Food and wine fabulous. I had Fish Stew and it was jam packed with fish, prawns, mussels, clams, fish & potatoes. YUM!

Service slow, food not up to the usual standard, luke warm calamari and side orders. Chicken good though. Saving grace was the positive way our comments were dealt with.

Surprisingly service was slower than expected. Our waitress seemed to have more than her fair share to do, although there were apparently plenty of staff around. Also we were a little disappointed that the kids’ menu was so short with no sweets!

Another lovely meal here overall. I come several times a year. However docking a star because we came on this occasion to take advantage of a free bottle of wine offer - a Sauvignon Blanc or a Syrah. On ordering the wine and asking for the SB the waitress told us No - the offer is Chardonnay or Merlot. Don't like Chardonnay so reluctantly (as having fish and chicken) ordered a red wine. She then came back and said you can have the SB if you really want, as if doing us a favour....? All a bit odd. Perhaps staff need reminding of what the deals are. She then quipped, when asking us to taste the wine, how it'd be strange to send back free wine - a little unnecessary. Anyway no big deal really, food and service was good as usual.

I do feel that the attention to detail has slipped over the last year or so. This week the peas/veg with fish were cold. Then second visit Breton chicken I though was tasteless and the Diaphanous potatoes dish was sloppy, not browned off on top,, the green beans undercooked and I like al dente veg but these were more for in a salad But as always charming waitressWaiters

Lovely food & lovely staff in sweet moderne decor. The ten-word minimum is gibberish.

Excellent apart from the embarrassment over the bill where we were charged for champagne instead of Blanc de Blanc! However it was sorted amicably. I would definitely go again.

Excellent meal and service. We were both very impressed with the whole experience.

Lovely attentive waiting staff. We all had good tasty meals. Very happy. 👍

Always a warm greeting - I notice several of the lunchtime 'regulars' are greeted by name and made particularly welcome. Great customer service which makes the Brighton Cote very special. All ages are welcome here and the atmosphere becomes one of a very inclusive and warm family. Its great when there are parties of 'suits', young families, and lovely couples all relaxed and happy here. I have been a regular visitor over a number of years and have never been let down or disappointed. Maggie G

Waitress was friendly and helpful. However, only one member of staff serving entire upstairs. Food was good. Restaurant was chilly! Had it been 2 or 3 degrees warmer I would have given more stars.

Staff very friendly and food excellent. Bizarrely, the only slight mark down I would give is that the food comes out too quickly which makes the whole enjoyment of sitting down for a leisurely meal end too soon. We were not rushed by the staff or made to feel rushed......but it was all over in an hour.

I tend to dine at Cote restaurants quite often in London and on this occasion I ordered my usual calamari and mussels frites in Brighton. I must say It was quite disappointing as usually both dishes are spot on but this time I only had 7 soaking in oil calamari which also didn’t taste great and 6 of my mussels were closed. We also had duck and it was lacking the red wine juice. The only plus for service as the waitress was really nice.

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.

Great and reliable as always. Could not supply requested table but didmtheir very best to find an acceptable alternative. Service and food excellent as usual. It’s the reliability that keeps us coming back.

Lovely meal. Excellent service despite being extremely busy. Reasonably priced considering quality of food

I had booked a table for five two weeks earlier so was a bit disappointed when our visit seemed to catch them by surprise ie: staff were not sure where the table was as there wasn’t one prepared. They had to rearrange a few tables to accommodate us. That said, the choice of food and the quality did not disappoint.

Lovely lunch, although a bit on the small side. Could have done with a green vegetable such as peas or brocolli added to the dish, but very tasty

Lovely food and service as always. We shared the chateaubriand this time and it was gorgeous.

Would be nice to have a menu change ,otherwise we did enjoy the evening.xx

From the moment we entered we were well looked after. The gent who greeted us was welcoming and chatty and offered a selection of tables. All the staff we interacted with were pleasant and attentive. The food was consistently good, as always. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Excellent service, lovely food and enjoyable evening. As we were celebrationg our anniversary, we were given a very nice glass if champange each. We will certainly be returning. A service with a smile. Thank you

Good food .. good service.. cheers . Ill be back!

As requested a quiet table in the window, delicious food, on this occasion from the Prestige Menu, and a very respectable Sauvignon blanc. Charming and efficient service from a sweet and very smiley Latvian girl who very kindly ordered a taxi for us on departure.

Can’t fault Cote for consistency. Pleasant staff, delicious food. Love the new blood orange vodka martini! Buzzy atmosphere on a Wednesday evening. Brighton and Sloane Square branches best in my opinion.

Very good venue and excellent service. Food was rather average and only as good as pub chains. Would think twice about returning especially given the competition in that area of Brighton.

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.

Another wonderful experience at Cote, one of our favourites were ever go

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.

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.

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.

Lovely meal and very good service plus great value for money. Our friends throughly enjoyed the restaurant as it was their first visit to a Cote Brasserie.

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding. It was our wedding anniversary and the table was decorated with flowers and we got champagne. I had an amazing time with my husband, I highly recommend! Isabel

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.

Fabulous dining experience. All staff are attentive without being intrusive. Drinks and food were delicious as always.

Always beautifully presented and professionally served French cuisine at a restaurant I revisit time and time again. You can’t beat it.

Lovely lunch sitting in the Garden in the sun. Both the pre-theatre lunch menu & the prestige menu are excellent value. Service is always spot on & the food never disappoints.

We have been coming to Cote in Brighton since it opened and before it became a chain! We like the menu the ambience and the staff are always very professional, BUT yes you knew there was a but coming, the food is poor at best, all four of our mains were dry and over cooked, the pink duck, had be dried under heat lamps after sliced, the beef look more like pork it was so pale and tasteless the chicken was dry with inadequate "ju" was like dried up gravy. The food has got worse (particularly the main dishes) over the years, we keep coming hoping that it will improve! You need to look right through your processes, from supply chain meat quality, to cooking (pay decent chefs) and then importantly speed of service once food is cooked. For a French brasserie, you should at least be able to do reliable steak, but sadly no! Staff do their best to repair and take the charge for dishes off the menu, but we don't come out to dinner to get free meal, we come out for an experience with BETTER (or at least as good) food than we can cook at home! Its such a shame because you have the venue and the FOH staff, you just MUST get the food right!!

Excellent meal with very friendly and prompt service allowing us to get to the theatre on time. Only small negative is that the tables are very close together.

It was ok here, beer was overpriced and goats cheese salad was average so too expensive. Average meal but classy surroundings. Food could do with improvement to be honest

As always a very pleasant after Theatre meal with my friend, staff always attentive and friendly and food was excellent. A really good place to eat and probably sometimes missed by visitors as away from hustle of our town. Thankyou

50th birthday went as planned food great staff great drinks flowed as ordered well done to the staff that attended our birthday party x

Lovely food and service. Very busy and still managed to be attentive

My friend and I had an excellent lunch today, Tuesday 4th, Thank you. We both had the bream which was beautifully cooked and presented, Neither of us can manage 3 courses and this time my friend had the pea and mint soup to start but I decided to wait have my favourite dessert, the ice cream. All extremely tasty. . We also had a glass of wine to wash it down. This was a one off! For roughly the last 5 years we have been meeting at Cote now approximately every couple of months and the food has always been excellent. The staff every time are attentive without being intrusive. Beautiful lunch all round. We shall be back.
