Very tasty food .Too many places are cutting down on salt which makes the food bland but not at Cotes . My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch .

Always a great experience at Cote. One of our friends was running late and ordered late. They even managed to get our food served at the same time. Exceptional.

Great Pris Fixe menu prior to visiting the theatre. Excellent and friendly service, even though it was busy. Food choice a bit limited, but good quality sea bass and chicken.

Due to the Xmas market, the staff (too few) were stretched, so the whole sense was more rushed than usual. We know when things quieten down ; normal high standards of service will be resumed. Food excellent as ever.
