Cote Avis 

We vistied Cote in Sloane Square in Chelsea and were served by Helena - she made us feel very comfortable, advised us well on the menu options and checked that everything was Ok . we had ordered tea to come with our dessert and often restaurants bring 1 before the other - she ensured that both came togther. I told her that we were served by Helena the greek Goddess as she was so nice
The food was good too !

Food delicious today
Guys serving us charming
Hostess who greeted us on arrival and took our order needs to be more customer friendly.
I made my booking on line which was acknowledged - offering my party à welcome drink. She was oblivious to this which was embarrassing ……spoilt it for me …..
You’ve just requested my email address !!!!!

Agree with most reviews. We had dinner in Cambridge Cote on Friday night. Very poor presentation. Over priced at £200 for four of us. Not once asked if we were happy with the food and service. Not even sure a manager was on duty. Very disappointing as Cote always been one of our favourites.

I was there with my friend Saturday 9/5-26. Nadeem and Mosharaf were very welcoming, kind and just gave us an outstanding service all in all.

Staff - clearly VERY understaffed. Those that were on duty were a delight. Helpful, good humour despite really trying circumstances.

However, what on earth has Cote done to the Calamari? It used to be THE BEST - crunchy breadcrumbs and generous garlic, lemon and parsley sprinkled over with a good garlic mayo. A decent portion, too. This was clearly from a freezer bag and looked like onion rings. Oily. The dressing was industrial thousand island. Not good at all.

Arrived at this restaurant to be greeted by staff who looked like they couldn't bothered and also scruffy .surely they need some kind of dress code .standards seem to be slipping. They certainly weren't rude but they need to be more proactive. The food was expensive and the half roast chicken Arrived dry with a little portion of rocket .sauces are extra no vegetables unless you pay for them .my beef bourguignon was good but a small portion.

My friends and I have been visitors to the Cote Covent Garden branch over many years. Our most recent experience was the worst we have ever had. The menu appeared to have shrunk since our previous visit and we found it difficult to select dishes we really wanted. Most of the food was of indifferent appearance and quality, and the overall price represented very poor value for money. The restaurant was almost empty - in central London on a Saturday evening - and lacked any atmosphere. We are unlikely to be going again.

Really disappointing visit to Cote Teddington.
All the dishes except the French onion soup were really bad.
The Beetroot dish was terrible mushy and tasteless and the quality to both out Steak frites was poor.
The steaks were tasteless maybe why that is they cover the steaks with a large lump of garlic butter.
The service was good and staff polite, that's why they have been given 2 stars

Booked a table to celebrate my daughter’s birthday with their steak offer. When we arrived they had run out of steak. Not only that, they had also run out of beer. Not good! The food we had was OK apart from the re-heated chips. We left disappointed.

We booked a table for 3 for lunch at 12.45 on a Saturday in the Cambridge restaurant.
We were seated at our table and menus were given. After 10mins I had to ask for some drinks as no one had come to the table.
Another 10 mins went by before we were asked for our food choices.
We eventually got our starter at 1.40 almost an hour after we arrived.
We waited and waited for our main course again asking when it would arrive, and were told we are very busy with no apology for the delay.
The main course arrived at 2.15.
The 2 fish dishes were dry and inedible and we did not eat them.
We asked to see the manager who when she did come to the table was rude, argumentative and refused to address our complaints, and again no apology.
Needless to say we did not pay the bill.
Overall it was a very poor experience! We would hesitate before visiting again.

I had booked into the St Alban's branch for my birthday meal with my mum, and chosen outside seating on the booking screen when making the reservation online. On arrival we were actively discouraged from sitting outside due to "cold weather" even though I expressly said two times that I had specifically booked the outside area. The weather in St Alban's today was very warm and sunny, far from cold. I suspect the refusal to seat us where we wanted to sit was actually because the waiting staff couldn't be bothered to wait on outside tables and inside tables as it's a lot of walking. Secondly, I booked for my birthday. Nobody mentioned it. In London branches, which I've eaten at many times, birthdays are always offered a free glass of fizz. I ordered the non alcoholic fizz hoping that was the case in this branch but it appeared on the bill. However, the food was great, and both wait staff were great. But the welcomer was rude, dismissive, and did not want to seat us outside even though I asked twice and reminded him of my booking, and forgot to mention my birthday to our wait staff. I will not return to any Cote now because of this experience.

Well, we stopped coming to Cote after the last menu debacle (pasta and chips instead of French food)
I have to say, the belly pork was amazing but the manager was just awful. We were waiting for ages to be seated and ignored. The manager took our order but we had to flag down a passing waitress to ask for some wine.
Belle was amazing . She recommended an off menu wine and was so invested and interested in the diners.
The food and Belle were incredible but such a shame about the awful manager! Not sure we will come back :(

This new Free Flowing Frites 'offer' is such an own-goal it will probably go down in food retail history as one of the dumbest ways to annoy and disappoint customers through the WORST lack of delivery of the marketing hype.

FFF... you will be saying that through gritted teeth as the promised "we will keep an eye" never happens. only to be informed by the staff member who comes to 'are you finished, let me take your plate away' that its my fault for 'not saying'.
TO WHO??? Why is it my job to be Oliver Twist begging for non existent staff to deliver slower than a courier delivery.

so you put the price of your steak frites up, shrank the meat, shrank the fries, (oh but they are unlimited!) and annoyed the old regular customers.
I saw some post marketing this utter nonsense as giant bowls of fries filling the table. Seriously do yourself a favour and stop presenting this in a dishonest way.

As I said, this is how you self destruct on a stupid lie of a promise. Folks won't return.

I've just enjoyed the £10 dish of the day.
Brecon Fish Stew and it was awesome. The service was friendly and efficient.
I'm in St Katherine Docks and am looking out over the yachts and Dutch Barges. Highly recommend this.

My fist visit to Cote in Worcester was a great experience, food and service was excellent.

Eaten at various Cote restaurants over the years and am always pleased with the service and the food, my favourites are the duck and the rosè wine flights

Went to the Windsor/Eton brasserie with a voucher for three course meal for two. When the bill arrived they had deducted £50 for the voucher and then tried to charge me excess for the meals and service charge of £11.
When I pointed out their mistake it took 10 minutes to rectify not a good experience for my birthday!

I recently dined at Côte Canterbury (11 Oct) and was surprised and embarrassed to discover that the restaurant no longer accepts cash — something that was not clearly communicated in advance. When I raised this with Côte, their response focused on the convenience for the business rather than the customer.

I find this policy disappointing and exclusionary, particularly for older guests who prefer or rely on cash. Inclusivity should mean accommodating different payment preferences, not removing them for operational ease. I’m sharing this experience to encourage Côte to reconsider how it communicates and implements this policy.

The food was good, the service excellent - especially under very busy conditions. But they advertised a £10 offer on steak frites, the day I was eating there - I ordered that, but didn't get the special price! I am not aware of any conditions that I didn't meet for this discount, and have been ignored by customer service. In future, I will not believe their offer ads.

We ate the £10 dish of the day, steak frites on a Monday, food great and sized just right for lunch. The service was prompt and we had an extra portion of frites free. The restaurant nicely busy and spotlessly clean, lunch for 4 including drinks & tip £65
