"The best steaks we have had in any part of London for a long long time and really good value. Excellent starters all large portions. Really efficient and friendly service but perfectly paced and no pushing to get us off the table. We were early 1830, but already a few tables occupied. By 1930 it was pretty well full and great atmosphere. Live music. It was worth going just for that girl singer/guitarist and really good guy on guitar with her. Neat, clean and clear well looked after slick decor. Can't wait to go back!"

"Was very excited for a meal out here as we'd seen lots of great pictures however we were a bit disappointed with our experience. The service was very slow, the interior felt empty and didn't live up to what we saw online and the seemingly compulsory service charge left a bad taste in our mouths after this below average experience especially for the price in a student area. Fortunately the food was good however this was after having to re-choose with the kitchen having ran out of steaks. One weird moment was discovering the olives weren't kept at the bar but in the kitchen so it wasn't possible to have olives at the same time as our drinks. I'm sure most of the issues will be fixed over time considering how new this restaurant is, but it will be some time before we're willing to try it again."

"Steak as requested for my child's birthday lunch, asked for medium ribeye and filet, came out well done however, we were hungry so didn't debate over it. Chips were not homemade, they're frozen. We decided against desserts judging by the quality of food, and shocking prices of desserts. We visited close to lunch break closing time and waitresses disappeared, had to go hunting for someone to settle our bill, could have walked out but we are honest people. Any other customer wouldn't have been so polite about the overall service and dry steak. The toilets needs a good clean too."

"Our booking was for 20.00 a.m. at the night of an international rugby game in Edinburgh. It was understandably busy this day, which is the lack of better wines. The experience was disappointing for other reasons. The menu list of starters was inspiring and the menu card itself reminded of a tired diner. The food was okay, not more than that. Our table was near the door and the guests at this end had a constant series of surcharges as others came and went. The worst, and not only in the current coronavirus environment, a waiter from the WC cubicle looked straight into the dining area without washing his hands. When we were just gone, and since I didn't want to upset our guests, I didn't raise them back then. However, this is completely unacceptable."

"We celebrated my Sons birthday and had a lovely evening. We all arrived later than our table time but there was no pressure from the staff and they were very helpful and accommodating. The food was well received by everyone and good value for money. Would highly recommend anyone to try this restaurant. Great atmosphere and if you are lucky you get a dance show by the young ladies in the flat opposite!!!"

"We had recently been recommended by a friend about their lunch deal of £10 for steak, chips and a glass of wine. However very disappointed as we were shafted and not given the offer for no reason. We turned up at Friday lunchtime and like their website says we asked if lunch deal included wine to two members of staff who both confirmed it did. We ordered our food which was lovely. When the bill arrived we had been charged £11.40 per wine glass and highlighted this to the waitress (who earlier said deal was running) who said “we haven’t been doing that since 2018”. We showed her that it was on their websites menu but she wouldn’t budget. We know this isn’t true as our friend who recommended it had got the deal a few weeks prior. Furthermore, false advertising on website and two staff members saying yes when we arrived is just terrible. In the end we had to pay £20 more than what we expected and ruined the visit despite the great food. I would like some compensation and I will edit my review as the food was actually great just terribly shafted."

"After needing a quick car repair in Portslade, we found ourselves with an hour to spare. With our two children and dog in tow on a scorching day, we were in desperate need of breakfast and drinks. The nearest option was a small cafe that didn't look too appealing from the outside. However, with our time constraints and hunger pangs, we decided to give it a try. To our surprise, the food at this cafe exceeded our expectations and surpassed its unassuming appearance. They offered a variety of options for vegetarians, vegans, and those with gluten sensitivity, in addition to the usual bacon sandwich. The freshly prepared food was absolutely delicious, and the prices were so reasonable that I am willing to make a special trip just to try more of their dishes in the future. Even our children enjoyed their meals. If you find yourself in Portslade, near Brighton, I highly recommend giving this cafe a chance."

"Overall a nice afternoon spent at the resturant. The sesting area we were given had remnants of someone else's crumbs etc. The food itself was nice but we seemed to get forgotten about when we were offered more bread and drinks, we had to ask for both again and there seemed to be a bit of a communication problem regarding dessert which we checked to see if it contained nuts due to an allergy, apparently it didn't, then half of the dessert arrived and apparently some of the components did contain nuts after all. We had also seen coffee or tea was complimentary on online advertising but we were intially charged for coffees we asked for until I pointed out the facebook post I'd seen that week offering the beverages as complimentary. I was just a little disappointed with the amount of little things for somewhere so highly rated and for the money/service charge applied."

"I am a HUGE Cote fan have gone on a regular basis for years with friends family in Glasgow London. Most recently in December Visited last night with friends was embarrassed as I chose to eat there booked telling them it was great tasty food, great value great wines. food was bland, not great, not a lot of it they only had 3 types of gin drinks were slow to come had to be chased on 3 occasions restaurant was only at best half full, so no idea why we had to continually chase drinks that did not arrive. I really don't enjoy posting this review as previously I have always enjoyed the food had a good dining experience liked the set menu a la carte choice. It looks like maybe the cost of living crisis has hit the chef recipes/ingredients/quality have dipped significantly. None of my friends had previously been to Cote so not a great experience for them on my recommendation"

"A absolute gem of a restaurant, had a beautiful evening in the restaurant to celebrate a birthday and our daughters confirmation. Chef is amazing the food perfect and the desserts are a beautiful indulgence and treat to end a evening with. The waitresses couldn’t do anymore to help and ensure you have a great evening. I look forward to my next visit and wish the staff and restaurant every success post Covid times."

"Really lovely staff, who went over and above when they found it it was a birthday dinner. They played happy birthday and gave a dessert without being asked it was very thoughtful. They explained the menu and cocktail options thoroughly and were extremely friendly the whole evening. Food was delicious, cocktails were excellent and the atmosphere was really relaxed. Will definitely be going back. Thank you!"

"We were at The Ned celebrating my sons 21st birthday. He wanted to go to the brunch buffet but unfortunately it was fully booked despite trying to make a reservation weeks in advance, so, we booked the American diner instead as my son really wanted to go The Ned so I thought this would be a good compromise. Underwhelming it was. A very limited unimaginative menu and very little atmosphere. At 2pm Sunday most of the tables were empty (all in the brunch I guess) . The food was very mediocre, no better than any other burger/rib restaurant I've been to, and despite me advising in advance we were there for a special occasion nobody made an effort to make my son feel special on his birthday other than the onligatory brownie with a candle brought to the table at the end of the meal... but brought to us while he wasn't even sitting there as he'd poppedto the bathroom!! Overall very disappointing and especially more so because despite it being quiet so really no excuses, nobody went out of their way to make our experience memorable in any way. Disappointing to say the least Ned."

"If the food is that good, I'm moving to Argentina! Honestly, I would argue until I'm blue in the face about my local steakhouse being the best in Norfolk, but this place has just blown it away by a mile! We didn't have a reservation, but we were warmly welcomed and seated right away, and I'm so glad they did! The waitstaff was exceptional - friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and quick to recommend amazing dishes, especially their Chimichurri sauce, which was delicious! The owner even stopped by our table to chat, and you could feel his love and passion for the restaurant. We may have disagreed on Messi vs Maradona, but it didn't detract from the overall fantastic experience. Thank you for turning our underwhelming visit to Brighton around - we love food and dining out, and we couldn't be more impressed! Best wishes for continued success in the future!"

"We got married at Hillbark years ago and had heard about Riviera so wanted to give it a try.. I'm not one for being negative but i felt the Food didn't live up to the setting HIllbark brand at all. The cellar was a fantastic space, however, the Food disappointed us on so many levels just didn't have that special factor very mediocre for the venue price.. We went for the Chefs choice tapas and felt it was very piecemeal in it's serving and content. No vegetables, duck was very salty, they gave us a double beef portion even though one of our guests had said they don't eat beef and the presentation was literally just beef or fish on a plate with a small token of chips... I'd love to go to Hallbark again as the building is beautiful, but with food like that i'm afraid we wont be going back"

"Booking very good, table ready when we arrived. Online ordering works really well and timely.My fish and chips had far too much batter and not enough fish, the Ceasar salad had too many croutons but overall was enjoyable. Great venue with great views"

"Our group of four visited this restaurant whilst on a day trip to Bristol for lunch and the experience was the highlight of our day. The service, food and cocktails were amazing and the owner/host was so friendly. The standout dishes were the Ropa Vieja and the Pollo Al Ajillo o Boracho and we also enjoyed the cassava chips. If you’re visiting definitely grab one or two cocktails! I loved the Mojito (which is a specialty) and the Caipirinha. Overall we had a great time and would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Bristol."

"Well, we are in the 21st century so I'm prempting a reply. The menu on the website albeit a sample menu was vastly superior to what was actually on offer, it was the website that tempted myself and my partner to book for food. Partner had a pasta dish, way ro dry at the end of meal partner asked if meal was OK, pointed out it was too dry no feedback or apology, main issue website tempts you to book on the basis of menu on said website but on seeing actual menu choice limited and very disappointing. Won't be back."

"After someone telling me that you can order your fish chips and eat them in the pub located next door, I had to see it for myself.We arrived to the chip shop to discover a queue but we were quickly served by a polite young man who took our order, between the four of us we ordered a varied choice, I had the cod chips, my wife had steak ale pie chips, my brother had scampi, and his partner had a vegetable spring roll and shared chips with my brother.We was informed of a small wait due to being busy and the fact the food is cooked fresh to order, but we didn't mind as we were eating in the pub and we knew we would have several drinks.After minutes, our meals arrived by a shy young girl. Our meals was served uniquely in baskets covered by foil to keep it hot.My wife liked the fact that we was supplied lemon fresh hand wipes which we have never known a chip shop do before, it was a nice touch.After a few mouthfuls of our meals, we were in heaven, the fish was cooked to perfection with crispy batter and moist fish, my wife was loving her pie as it was deep filled, my brother soon ate his scampi while his partner was surprised on how large the spring roll was.All in all, we throughly enjoyed our meal and drinks and what a fantastic way for two businesses to help each other out.We are now planning on visiting both establishments again, hopefully soon but my brother lives in Devon.Keep up the good work and see you again soon."
