Our first visit to this new Cote and we weren’t disappointed. The usual service and great standard of food. There was a small hiccup with our main dish but we were given a complimentary glass of wine which more than made up for the slight delay.

My mum and I thought the staff were wonderful and attentive, even having time for a little joke here and there. The service was brilliant too and the food was delicious. Thank you, we will be returning and recommending Cote Brasserie.

A nice change to have a restaurant rather than ‘burger type’ establishment in the town centre. A thought that perhaps a basket of bread on the table, as is the norm in France, would be good.

Food and value for money was good but I spent almost 2 hours in a half empty restaurant for 2 courses. Never asked if I wanted anything else to drink and didn’t bother with 3rd course as wasn’t prepared to spend another hour in a restaurant with little atmosphere or service. Don’t get me wrong, I hate over the top service but this was so lacking in interest it was ridiculous, couldn’t wait to leave!

Such a wonderful experience. The mood and precedent set as you approach and take in the provincial design of the restaurant facade. Walking in, we were immediately greeted with a smile and welcome words followed by being promptly guided to our reserved table. Opting for a light started, the subtle flavour of the French cheese prepared our palate for the mains to come. We went basic for our mains, opting for the fillet steaks to make the ultimate test of quality of product and kitchen. It’s was phenomenal! The manager Vinnie was very attentive and staff were generally friendly and genuine. The Cote ha sabsolutely raised the bar in Watford and will be our frequent dining choice in the future. @iamavichayil

Service was very slow.... and the restaurant was half empty! It took 30 mins to get a coffee and then 47 minutes for a cocktail. Not acceptable!

Booked a table for two for 7.45 pm and arrived early at 6.55pm as we were very hungry. We were met at the door by one of the managers who was very pleasant and seated straight away. From that point it went completely downhill. In a nutshell we were totally ignored with an abundance of staff passing our table with absolutely no acknowledgment. Sadly after twenty five minutes of no staff contact, no drink, nothing, we decided to leave and find somewhere else to eat. The manager was very apologetic and tried to persuade us to stay but we were really very disappointed. We are local to Watford and were really looking forward to the opening of Cote having visited the chain on numerous occasions.

As always the customer service was top notch, the staff here have always been so good and attentive. The only downside today was that we had to wait quite some time for our coffees and then our food - it was fathers day and they were busy - but the staff were so apologetic about it and offered free pastries during the wait.

Very Busy Father’s Day lunchtime. Staff polite but unfortunately Kitchen not capable of keeping up with the orders. 3 of 5 meals obviously held under the serving heaters far too long.

I didn't catch his name, but our waiter, who is from Galicia, was wonderful. He was attentive without being intrusive and detail-oriented-he told me how long I'd have to wait for my well done steak. Service was excellent overall and we really enjoyed ourselves. The food was great as well!

Excellent. I have eaten at other branches of Cote in London and Richmond and have always found them very good but this was the first time I'd visited the new Watford branch. I wasn't disappointed - food was excellent and the restaurant itself is a good size - airy and bustling but not overpowering. I shall be back!

We’ve had a great evening celebrating a family birthday. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was very tasty, the beef bourgignon was a particular highlight. We had complimentary kir royals for my husbands birtday. The restaurant was spacious but intimate. Looking forward to returning soon.

You should tell your clients before hand that half of the menu is not available (light part). If I want a full english breakfast I'll go to a different place, not to a french sytle restaurant. We wanted to get the french toast (which are easy to make), but instead we were told that was not available, only cooked options. We were not given any reason for this, and after ordering the drinks there was no other choice than stay and not enjoy our breakfast. Next time be more careful, or tell the people before.

Delicious food served in one of the nice private booths over a catch up with a good friend. We think it may have been our waiter's first night though he was very pleasant and always asked for help if he didn't know the answer.
