Today, I enjoyed a fantastic Mother's Day at the newly opened Côte brasserie in Watford. Amongst the many newcomers to the revamped High St at Charter Place, it has already established itself as a firm favourite. Blessed with extremely friendly, amenable and courteous staff, led by an attentive and professional management, Côte has given Watford it's first taste of 21st Century dining. Long overdue and most welcome for a town this size and in such close proximity to London, it is ideally situated and the menu caters for any and all tastes over brunch, lunch and dinner during a foray into town. I already look forward to my next visit to this most welcome establishment.

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.

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

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.

Lovely meal ; the lamb and the fillet steak were perfect although the lamb could have come with one more veg. The coffee was good. It was relatively quiet at 5pm but we could have done without the background music. I will not go there at weekends when it's busy as it will be very noisy, due to the tiled floor and open space reverberating sound. We enjoyed the meal and will go back.

Service was quite slow, staff often appeared to be chatting between themselves.our table was booked for 5.30, not a busy time and there seemed to be plenty of staff around. We had to wait ages to pay our bill. Green beans with salmon too crunchy. Rib eye steak okay but lacked flavour. Moules for the starter good.

The service was above and beyond excellent and the food was fabulous. The wine was a perfect match and even the coffee was great. I lived in France for 20 years, returning to the UK last year. I have had a hard time adjusting and came here tonight to feel some modicum of French dining and culture. Given that Côte is a chain, I was not entirely convinced that I would be impressed but I was wrong. Well done to you all, from front of house to kitchen via service and bussing. We had a truly enjoyable evening and will be back.

Went to the new Cote in Watford on a Sunday at lunchtime for my mother's birthday. The service was excellent from the Host right through the waiting staff. The food was excellent and the recommendations spot on. They even offered a few extras on the house given the occasion which was a lovely touch. Would come again, would definitely recommend.
