"I have booked a table for 7 people around 19 clock online. I received an online confirmation as well as an email to confirm our booking. when we arrived, the employees said they had no record of the booking. the restaurant was only half full so that they could put us anyway. it was a Sunday and we had chosen the place, because their sunday roast was well sounded and served until 9 o'clock. When we sat down, we said they fled from Yorkshire puddings. within 10 minutes they came and took the Sunday menu away and said it was not available now, but we could still order from the standard menu. my mother in law asked if it was possible to swallow chips for kartoffeln with the torte and was said no, the kartoffelbrei portions were already assigned to other meal times. at this point we went. the personal tried to seem too sympathetic, but were annoyed when we left when they had poured out a few of the beverage order. the restaurant looked like a good place, it was a nice environment, but the menu was expensive and other diners could be heard complaining that they had waited a long time, although they were not busy. we were understandably really disappointed by all the experience."

My mother in law asked if it was possible to swap chips for mashed potatoes with the pie and was told no, the mashed potato portions were already allocated to other meals. At this point we left. The staff did try and seemed sympathetic but were annoyed when we left as they had poured out a couple of the drinks order.

"I have to say I wasn't expecting to be able to get something vegan from here but I saw the superfood salad on the menu and I asked if it was vegan and explained (as I get nervous they don't get it) and it was! Was reasonably good for example the carrots were cooked to perfection but the pomegranate wasn't as ripe as hoped! After i visited I went on tripadvisor and it seems like quite a few vegans go there for the superfood salad! The staff were accomadating and kind and I was lucky to have a lactose intolerant waitress who felt the need to triple check the dressing ingredients for me!"

"The setup at the cafe was a bit confusing - it seemed like we were expected to sit down first and then order at the till, which was inconvenient. Alternatively, we could have gone straight to the till to order, but this was not made clear by the staff. When I questioned the lady at the till about the pricing, she pointed out that the prices were listed on a menu that was not offered to us for dine-in. I felt the prices were not clearly displayed or communicated. Even the board only showed takeaway prices for a full English breakfast, not the dine-in price. It seemed strange, as most people wouldn't think to take away a full English breakfast. After a couple of inquiries and a double check of the door sign, I realized my mistake in overlooking the 'takeaway price' notice. An Indian lady who worked there proceeded to raise her voice and scold me about the pricing, which was embarrassing and unnecessary. Despite the unpleasant encounter with the staff member, the food was enjoyable. However, if I were to visit this cafe again, I hope that individual is no longer working there. With my experience as a former server of 10 years, I believe such behavior has no place in the hospitality industry."

"Our experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The food was overcooked and it took twenty five minutes to bring a bottle of wine, with two people having to crawl into a cupboard to find it. The wine arrived after we had finished our starters. Using the toilet was a very unpleasant experience, as it was in a disgusting condition and unflushed. After quietly pointing this out to one of the chefs, they apologized and cleaned it. The waitress then informed us that it had been cleaned. We were taking my son, who is at university in Leeds, out for dinner as he loves French food. Despite the nice staff, it was a horrible evening and we would not return to this restaurant."

"It was my birthday when I was staying at The Belmore. I didn't mention it, but the gentleman at the reception noticed my brooch and I confirmed that I had just received it for my birthday. When we returned to the hotel for dinner, there was a birthday card on the table. I was then offered a glass of Prosecco, and at the end of our meal, they brought out a cake with a candle in it. These small gestures really made my birthday special."

"wow, what a fantastic place! small family business with excellent quality and perfection looks and feels like a cozy home away from home. I had the chance to talk to the owner and he is great! of what I have heard he even organizes grills in summer, now this is something I will not miss! Eat tastes absolutely fantastic! if they don't know what they just get, they leave the staff the choice, they won't regret it can be a tad expensive, but how the saying goes they get what they pay!"

"Superb food and fantastic service. We were celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary and were presented with complimentary drinks on arrival. With our desserts was a lovely chocolate written 'happy anniversary ' message with complimentary dessert wines. Would definitely recommend. This was our first visit and we will be definitely returning"

"Booked table for 1pm, pre ordered and specified we only had 1 hour lunch break, hence pre ordereing .. food came at 1:35 which is ridiculous considering we pre ordered. We then had an extremely rude lady member of staff, when we told her we had pre ordered a salad without dressing she gave no apology and said we hadn’t, twice. To which I showed her the email sent. Food was bad quality , over priced. Steak tasted frozen, no flavour and definitely not rare as asked. Wouldn’t recommend."

"We had been looking forward to visiting for a while and we were not disappointed, the food was as gorgeous as we had heard and more!! Our waiter was very polite and informative about the menu. The fillet of beef was the best my husband has tasted and my vegetarian option was full of seasonal flavours and textures. Will definitely be going back. Thank you Chez Moi x"

"I was quite disappointed with the tasting menu, which I find is definitely not worth the £80 per person. The lemon sole was overly salty and inedible. For the main course, we received a minuscule portion of lamb that lacked flavor, a tiny potato, and a peculiar fish dish that was hard to comprehend. The dessert was unremarkable. On the positive side, the drink server was very friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant. However, I wouldn't recommend dining here. I'm unsure why the quality was so low, and I dislike leaving negative reviews, but I felt it necessary to caution other potential diners."
"like most people who are eaten with eating and eating, I am against chains in general. that is because they are through their natural places that have removed the whole heart and the soul and the idiosyncracy from them. the things we actually are looking for. it must be. everything is formulated in the rule and strictly regulated by the office. it is a system that works to a certain degree. I was trying to try the new côte brasserie. since the sad defeat of Relais de venise l' entrecôte last year, there is nowhere that I can go to know in the city for simple steakfrites. we just don't have the small local family leading French bistro to the corner that's been there for years, so where else is it? they couldn't afford the high-city rentals for a start. they can only afford to get in. (maybe we don't have a good tapas bar now until ibérica can move next year.)"

"We went to Côte for a pre Christmas breakfast on the 23rd December. We had our American family over so wanted a nice place with good food and service. I couldn’t have chosen better. Lovely staff very polite and attentive. Great food of a high quality. I was so impressed. What actually did it for me was when we paid the bill. I put a cash tip on the tray after we had paid. The bill was delivered by a different waiter to the one who served us. This Waite took the tip and went over to our waiter and gave him the cash. I was so impressed with this gesture. Clearly a great bunch of waiters with strong ethics.I spoke with the manager on leaving and he too was charming and professional. So well done Côte Reigate you are a credit to the chain."

"Had a really fun evening here and enjoyed the cocktails, wine and food. Think the cheese portions are a little small for the price and they were not described to us on presentation which was a shame. Not sure why we only qualified for one Happy Hour cocktail when we ordered several within the hour but as I was entertaining, I did not want to raise the issue in front of my guest. Despite these one or two things, a really enjoyable evening spent in a nice place and would happily return"

"Absolutely outstanding. We had our wedding meal here for 35 people, and it was everything we'd hoped for and more. Ruta went the extra mile to make the experience special, with decorations, flowers, and all the help in the lead up to the day. Her team and the service they provided was excellent. The food was top quality, as it always is at Cote. They absolutely nailed it! Thank you to everyone who was part of the day :"

"Nice decor and the staff are very friendly and attentive. We went as a works group and although the food came out pretty quickly I were left feeling a bit underwhelmed with both my starter and mains, somewhat simple and lacking flavour. The Chocolate mousse desert was good but probably wouldn’t go again."

"The Cote Brasserie chain of restaurants is consistently good, and the Muswell Hill restaurant is a very good example. We had the set menu (went for the 3 courses) and upgraded to the 8oz sirloin steaks. Service was excellent, the beer was cold, the food was very good and reasonably priced. The only niggle and it is a small one was that both steaks (one rare, one medium rare), whilst very well cooked, were a bit fatty. We had a lovely time. Second time I have been to this restaurant (I don't live that close) and will come back again."
