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.
Great asset to Watford. Usual excellent standard of food and the staff were efficient, friendly and very welcoming.
Had a lovely evening. Our waiter was lovely and very helpful and gave good advice on the menu options. The foods was lovely. Have the steak xx
The food is good, the staff are friendly and caring. The decoration is very welcoming. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely return soon.
Good choice of options on menu. Some items on the Vegetarian Menu do not appear on the general menu.
The food was delicious & the hostess truly made my birthday special with their gesture. Thank you
Great location in the heart of the town centre, nice atmosphere but the food steals the show.
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.
Really great restaurant! The food was amazing, the staff were really attentive and knowledgeable. Our waiter was the best!! We will be back soon ! 😀
We absolutely love Cotes. Great service, relaxed atmosphere and delicious food. We were so glad when this one opened in Watford. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
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!
Really great service and really fast service, especially as it has not been open long! The food was also really great, will definitely be coming back again soon.
Amazing food. Amazing staff. Amazing restaurant. Was surprised and very pleased at how good the restaurant was able.to cater for my 2 toddlers. The staff were brilliant with them
Food was lovely and the staff were great. We had a fabulous time.
Great food. Fantastic service, reasonable prices, will be back for a French food fix bientot!
A good meal in a friendly atmosphere with helpful and professional staff. I recommend the steak Tartare and the prawn gratin.
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!
Very good meal here on a Friday evening. Good atmosphere, good service and good menu. Will definitely return here to eat again. Possibly the nicest restaurant in the high street.
We have been going to Cotes at St Albans for many years every Friday evening - so pleased that one has now opened in Watford so we will alternate our venues at cotes.
Excellent service. Thanks to the team, my husband had a memorable birthday dinner. We enjoyed our food in this beautiful restaurant
What a wonderful arrival in Watford! The best dining experience I have had for a long time. Such lovely staff and beautiful food Perfect location for a meal before a visit to Cineworld or the Palace Theatre. I will visit again soon and will tell everyone about this special place. Thank you :-)
Thank you for looking after us. The restaurant was amazing and customer service was great. Well done to our server. This restaurant will do very well in Watford.
Wonderful choice of gluten free food. The food we ordered was flavourful and tasty. Good speed of service. Would recommend particularly for allergen options. Will return again.
Excellent and professional service Good vale and quality breakfast with best vegetarian sausage I’ve ever had!!!
It was a pleasure dining here, the service was sublime from when I made the booking. Staff were very helpful and professional. We all thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting a stress free, enjoyable evening out.
Great food, friendly efficient service & a very good atmosphere, we will be back soon! Steak was great, we weren’t rushed, a lovely evening all round.
A lovely meal. Polite attentive service and really tasty French food.
overall pleased with the food and the service. will definitely come back to the restaurant again. The only way I can feedback on is online reservation did not send the confirmation email.
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 had a vey lovely belated mother’s day lunch. Both ,y mother and father. Really enjoyed there meal as did I. We will definitely be comeing back to Côte Brasserie Watford. And will be very happy to recermend Côte Brasserie Watford to our friends
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.
Brilliant food and great drinks! Lovely decor and service was ace. Really friendly and professional staff! Food came out quickly (but not too quickly!) Looking forward to going back soon.
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.
