With the wonderful welcome from Tulip who continued in this light with service and attentiveness to the delicious meal with fine wine in a comfortable and ambient environment; a real treat. Will certainly go again and hope Tulip is on

We had the steak frites and the burger. The burger tasted like it was supermarket bought and it had a very off taste. The chips also had about a cm of oil in the bottom of the cup they were served in and were dripping wet. The steak frites wasn’t medium rare at all. When you’re charging £15-25 for a main course it needs to be better. The servers were all very nice though

Unfortunately, this was one of the worst meat burgers I’ve ever had. After waiting nearly an hour for the food, the meat had an unpleasant odor when it finally arrived. To make matters worse, it was frustrating to see other customers who arrived 15 minutes after us receive their food before we did. I won’t be returning.

Booked for an evening meal with my Mum for Mothers Day. Got a phone call 30 mins before the booking time to say that my booking was cancelled due to a power cut, strange that no other business in the area (within 100ft) were affected.

We like to come here as a family often, it has a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere, but also perfect for a celebration. The food is always great and the staff friendly and welcoming. I would like to add particular thanks to Olaf, who has been our waiter on more than one occasion now, he always remembers us when we come in and always has a smile and helpful with the menu when we just can’t decide what to choose!

First time trying Cotes today. Came down to take my daughter who is at uni out for her birthday. Had the best experience. The restaurant is lovely inside. You feel like you are somewhere really special. We had a lovely table by the window in the sunshine. The food was delicious. I had an amazing fish parmentier, my daughter had chicken and my son had steak. The desserts were wonderful. Warm oozing chocolate fondant, a choux pastry with pistachio and cherry compote and my daughter, who is the biggest macaron lover, had a fantastic macaron dessert. I was driving and so had an elderflower and apricot drink which I loved. We were greeted on arrival by a lovely friendly chap and our waiter, Conor, was attentive and friendly. They even sent my daughters dessert out with a birthday candle and Happy Birthday written in caramel on the plate. A fantastic experience and when visiting our daughter at uni again we will definitely be back. Thanks to the team for making our visit so special.

We had a delicious & affordable family lunch at Cote in Welwyn Garden City today. Huge thanks especially to Tulip who served us & was incredibly helpful & went the extra mile even when we asked to change tables & when we made a mistake with our wine order. All 6 of us got a free round of drinks thanks to a Cote January offer, so along with the fixed price menu it was a very affordable lunch. Thank you, Cote & Tulip, for a wonderful family lunch & happy memories!

We have been many times to the Welwyn Garden restaurant and today the service was slow. Also there was no "orange sauce" (just 4 small pieces of orange) with the duck confit and virtually no cream with the creme caramel. The menu states that that these dishes come with sauce/cream. Food was otherwise very tasty but for 3 we had a bill of just short of £100! (only one small beer as far as alcohol was concerned).

We were a table of 4 and had been asked to arrive earlier than 2pm booking which we did. Slow service but correct when waiter arrived. Our Prix Fixe starters were OK but chicken dish rather tough and luke warm. They had run out of bananas for crepe desert so we had very thin slices of strawberry on cold pancakes instead - not good. We didn't complain as would have been embarrassing but there was a general air of short staff and wanting to empty the restaurant quickly after lunch service. Have been to better branches but hope this doesn't signal general decline in usually reliable bistro type food.

Very expensive, and quality appears to have gone down the pan. The Bretón chicken was very dry and now served without sauce. The beef bourginon was overcooked and dried out. The wait staff were too busy taking down the Xmas decorations to serve our table. Feels like all the signs of a restaurant chain in terminal decline.

Service and ambience were the two things that stood out to me here. Erika, the waitress, was always attentive and made sure I had an enjoyable dining experience. The seasonal decor for Christmas was just enough and provided a great feel for the place. The price to quality ratio for the food was below average, in my opinion. The crab maison appetizer would have been better with more capers and less avocadoes. The steak frites were alright, nothing to rave about but executed well. All in all a decent place if you're specifically craving French cuisine in the WGC area!

We decided to go to this restaurant after doing some research. So glad we did! We didn’t have a reservation. We were seated right away. We started out with the steak and also the baked beetroot. I also ordered a Vineyard Spritz and my husband ordered a glass of wine. The steak tartare came with a raw egg on top and two fried anchovies? on top. It came with two thin slices of bread. We mixed it all together minus the bread and put it on the bread. It was so delicious. I only get steak tartare in Europe. It is very hard to get in the United States but I have found it in one restaurant there. My husband HATES beets but these were so good, he even enjoyed them. Baked beet with like a middle eastern type crouton on top and maybe some apple and shallot. Also some type of yogurt? sauce on the bottom. Whatever it was, it was very good.We then proceeded with the confit of pork belly. The first words out of my husbands mouth was “Oh my God”. The pork belly was crispy on the top and delicious on the inside served on top of cabbage with a sauce. It also came with a small dish of potatoes. Rich and creamy. My husband had another glass of wine. It was absolutely delicious. The service throughout was excellent. It wasn’t too loud inside, no blaring music. Wonderful! Highly recommended. Loved the food….all the food.

Joanna showed a real interest in her customers and was keen to ensure we were happy with everything as the meal proceeded. Her service and attention to detail, as well as her affable nature and lovely sense of humour, definitely enhanced our experience at this restaurant. We cannot recommend certain dishes as they did not come up as a choice, but we would have done if they had. The food was delicious, desserts as well, and also the wine. Thank you Joanna for your thoughtful, professional approach and natural affinity with customers.

Ordered butternut squash tartin. Just a round peice of flakey pastry, with butternut squash on top, and a few dollops of goats cheese. Goats cheese was whipped like cream. Was so small, more like a starter. Not the least bit filling. Served with green salad, over £15 for this. I did let the waitress know how poor the food was, she took it off the bill.

We booked a table at Cotè at Welwyn to celebrate my Mum and Stepdad's 25th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately there were a number of issues that arose during the evening that spolit what was meant to be a lovely celebration. It took forever to order drinks and food and even longer for them to be brought to us. A general lack of attention by the staff made it very difficult to to get everything we needed. We had purposefully pointed out my Mum and Stepdad so that the dessert plates could be decorated but when the desserts came out the wrong ones had Happy anniversary on them which was hugely disappointing and embarrassing. The total bilI I thought was excessive for what we had and the general lack of attention certainly did not warrant the service charge that was added to the bill. Due to the occasion I did not want to make a scene but I would not be in a hurry to visit another Cote restaurant.

The food here was really good. I had the config duck a l'orange, which was so flavourful. The duck literally fell off the bone, it was so tender. The drinks were good too - mostly I can't get a decaf espresso martini, but they did one for me! The service was great too - the waitress went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. There's a lovely little outside area that we sat in too, which felt like being abroad. Would definitely recommend!

The bearnaise was served almost cold hardly room temperature or warm. Overall very disappointing and personally I wouldn’t recommend
