Cote Brasserie - Bath in Bath and North East Somerset

Amazing beautiful place food is outstanding service is amazing definitely a must try place if ever in Bath would highly recommend.

Nice pub that feels fresh and modern. Nice outdoor seating in the green garden.

Couldn't fault the food. It was excellent. The staff were friendly. However, it wasn't busy when we went, and the staff were not fully attentive when it came to getting the bill and paying the bill!!

Had a very tasty lunch, the staff were very polite and catered for my food allergy, I highly recommend it.

Exquisite food, lovely atmosphere, and the sea bass was the best I’ve tasted anywhere. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food but the service from Callum was amazing. You have a fabulous young man working for you he made our Anniversary very special. Well done and Thank you x he is an asset to your restaurant. Thanks Karen and Stuart

Oh my goodness. The door flowers were tacky,but now a model telephone box…. awful. Try Woods if you want a quality meal in a traditional Georgian building without the silly artefacts. We ate here twice before all this nonsense appeared and it was good. Such a shame.

I go from surprise to surprise as the cuisine is so creative.

It was a delightful experience from start to finish. 2 of us turned up half an hour early with luggage and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Everybody appeared to enjoy their food; I certainly did. I had crab & avocado 'tian', which was new to me and very tasty, followed by fillet of sea bass with smoked aubergine, quite superb. I finished off with raspberry & pistachio coupe which was a refreshing end to a wonderful meal.

What you would expect from The Ivy, good food beautifully presented & attentively served. They didn't disappoint & I was fascinated to see a member of staff being taught the art of making a drink! Part of a high end restaurant's attention to detail, where 'anything will do' - will not do! Thank you.

Had a pleasant lunch at the ivy, with very tasty food. The atmosphere was enjoyable and comfortable. Only reason it is not 5 star is because we were kept waiting at the door for at least 5 minutes as no one was at the host stand and our waitress was very attentive but was a bit unsure of the menu.

Great venue, acoustics fine. Sadly weather prevented outdoor dining, but great venue and well worth a visit if it’s in your budget while not cheap, IMHO food value and the Ivy Provence Rose is great!

Don’t bother there are much better alternative options available in Bath. Waited over 10 minutes in a queue with one extremely slow member of staff allocating people to tables only to be told they were not opening their outside terrace on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.

Decent drink prices and pretty good food. Lots of cool ambiance at this place!

Nice setting, friendly staff, food was average for the price

Still classy but we would have liked the servers to be more attentive so that we could ask for the bill, without having to go to the cashier after losing our patience.

Beware of the service charge! My wife and I were looking forward to an afternoon tea which was a wonderful gift from our daughter. We decided to add 2 glasses of Champagne to our gift voucher. The food was lovely but when the bill came we were shocked that we had to pay a further £32.06 for a glass of Champagne each and ‘service charge’.

We love going to Ivy's. A little pricey, but the food is very good. The service could have been a little more attentive, especially when it came to the bill.

Went on Friday 9th May for breakfast, food was good however it was outshone by the level of service from everyone who looked after us at each stage, very attentive without being intrusive, you have an amazing team, each one of them made our visit very enjoyable, based on this experience we will be back 😊

The food was delicious. Service team seemed out of sorts. Hostess asked if we wanted water, I said "sparkling with lemon please", she confirmed. Received still water, with no lemon, and never the sparkling. After the delicious dinner, Shepherds Pie and Sea Bass with smoked aubergine, we ordered a dessert and pot of coffee. We received the dessert fairly quickly. The coffee was never received, in fact, we ate our delicious desserts while watching the entire staff of the restaurant pass by the coffee ready at the bar, including the manager. We asked one of them for our bill, he said give him 2 minutes, ran around discombobulated trying to figure out, with the rest of the team, how to create more space for new tables. 5 minutes later, the table next to us received their bill, and we sat, still looking at the coffee at the bar, dessert already half way digested, when finally the server acknowledged the coffee sitting at the bar, grabbed the tray and turned toward us. I gestured that I was no longer interested. She seems a bit upset but confused and asked if that coffee had been sitting there for a while, to which we replied "Yes". Neither her or the the manager apologized for the mishap but it was removed from the bill. The manager WAS quick, however, to take payment...

Came here for dinner after engagement. I had mentioned this to the staff when booking. The service was amazing, they gave us champagne and a chocolate bombe to celebrate on the house. The atmosphere was perfect for me and my new fiancé to celebrate our special day.

I went out in Bath for the first time in years and kaya recommended the steak tartar and it was amazing, her service is impeccable and and she really went the extra mile

Quintessential English dining experience.

Enjoyed afternoon tea at The Ivy Bath Brasserie—charming setting and well-presented food, ideal for marking a special occasion. The scones were particularly good. Service could have been a touch sharper, but it didn’t take away from a pleasant experience overall.

Very disappointed. Broken seesaw table top, nothing done. Waited 20 minutes and no service so sadly we left with no apology.

The food, service and everything is absolutely brilliant.

Very formal, I felt underdressed. Service took a little long for me, so instead of getting a main, I just got two starters to be quicker as I had to go to an event. Still chose to pay service charge because I understand the place was busy and each person on the floor has multiple jobs/ people to attend to. Drink- DIVINE! Wild Mojito, but far too much ice that it watered down so quickly, I was actually saddened by this because it really was nice. Would I recommend it? Yes, however, not for dinner as lights get deemed around the 5 o'clock hour.

Didn’t plan on dining here but now we’re so glad we did! The crispy duck salad was refreshing and full of fun textures, and the french onion soup warmed us up after a cold, rainy morning. We decided to share the Good Friday special, a Fish (seafood) Pie, which was absolutely delicious. Lots of meat and didn’t require any additional seasoning. Would return here on our next visit.

Still good service on this visit, our waiter was excellent. The food was good though the lobster on the John Dory special was completely overcooked- likely under a lamp too long. Good for a quick dinner.

A wonderful dinner in good company. The young waitress was very efficient and friendly. The food is delicious - especially the duck salad eaten at the beginning. The tiramisu was a bit too big after a good other meal.

Amazing afternoon and cocktails!

Doesn’t meet expectations at all. The staff doesn't pay attention to you. The steak was the worst we've ever tasted.

We had a lovely brunch, staff were excellent 👌

We visited for lunch one weekday afternoon with the platinum Amex £100 offer. The food was delicious, the service was EXCELLENT and there was a good atmosphere. They were accommodating of my gluten intolerance and explained which dishes had no gluten ingredients and any which were fried in a gluten fryer so they were clued up on what was suitable and what wasn’t. They recommended drinks based on our preferences. The staff were very attentive and also very sweet with our baby who thankfully slept for most of our lunch! We had also thought it may be a bit quiet and dull on a weekday lunchtime but there were lots of tables in which meant there was a good atmosphere.

Love salted sourdough but the eggs and avocado was below standard of The Ivy, the avocado was very brown and I hat that they serve this on a cheap muffin. I would rather have a choice of breads or homemade ones. After all,prices are not cheap. However atmos and staff are lovely and the decor I can stare at for ages it's so interesting.

Loud, noisy, food average, overpriced and although the servers were lovely, service was very slow. There were 5 of us and we were all disappointed. It was a birthday celebration. We won’t return.

The chairs are just for show. Literally. Lovely outdoor seating at The Ivy Bath… except you’re not allowed to sit there. Apparently, the chairs are decorative. Like a museum exhibit you can’t touch. We’ve sipped drinks there before, but now it’s “not permitted.” Is this a restaurant or a furniture showroom?

My Mum and I visited The Ivy in Bath for Saturday brunch. The setting is lovely as well as the food, but more importantly, the service was flawless. We were looked after by the italian manager with the floral tie. He was very helpful when we had queries regarding allergies (Peanut) and he even gave us recommendations what to go for. He was attentive throughout our meal, took notice of everything before we even had the chance to ask (extra drinks, sauces, etc). It was a lovely experience and we will definitely be back!

Went for an afternoon tea with a friend, service was very lack lustre - we weren’t given simple things such as a teaspoon? We weren’t offered any refills on our drinks etc. Heard other customers talked through their afternoon tea (what it included etc) and they were also told they can have more jam / cream and so on which we were not told. When we asked for the bill they then offered more tea and water but it was too late. The sandwiches were lovely, the cakes weren’t the best. Wouldn’t say it was worth the price tag.

No tan bueno como otras ramas. Realmente no puedo poner mi dedo en la llaga. Pero desde que llegas, nunca nos sentimos como en casa como en el de Windsor. Algo estaba mal, y de ahí... todo se fue abajo

Very nice lunch on Mother’s Day, food and service was great and they gave all the mums complimentary flowers which was so lovely. Highly recommend for a delightful lunch in Bath.

The food, staff, service is top notch. I'd recommend to anyone in Bath. We absolutely loved it!

The experience at The Ivy Bath was nice, thanks in part to Kinga, the staff member who assisted us. She was professional yet friendly and warm—her marvelous attitude and great spirit helped break the formality of the environment. The food was very nice and tasty. We’ll definitely go back!

Came to celebrate Mother’s Day with my parents at the Ivy and it was an absolute delight. The reception seated us swiftly despite a rather spontaneous last-minute booking and service from there until the end of the night was excellent. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly and helped make the night extra special. As for the food… it was marvellous! Highly recommend both the Korean Chicken and Soy Cod. Excellent flavours and cooked to perfection. Plus the creme brûlée is another excellent classic to try! Overall, lovely experience, would 100% dine again! Looking forward to it already.

Visitó para el almuerzo y tuvo un tiempo agradable, buen servicio y buena comida. Tuvimos el menú de la hora del almuerzo que pensamos que era muy valioso.

My wife and i absolutely love The Ivy. It is the restaurant we always choose for special occasions. The staff are continually impressive and display fantastic customer service. Our food was exceptional. My wife had the scallops and I had the cheese soufflé for our starters. For our mains my wife had the blackened cod and I had the vegan burger. All four dishes were perfectly cooked, looked and smelt great and tasted lovely. I also really like the interior decor.

Subtle beautifully cooked food.Wide choice of options.Friendly service.Very noisy not somewhere for a romantic meal.

A friend described The Ivy to me as “posh Bill’s” and I think that’s very accurate based on my experience. The staff were nice and friendly, although we weren’t made aware of what they didn’t have supply of initially, which meant there was a fair bit of back and forth after first ordering, so a side was kindly comped (after the waiter returned for third time). I had come for the ribeye, but they were out, so opted for the sirloin and my wife had the fillet. Fillet was cooked perfectly but my thinner sirloin was well done rather than medium rare (harder to get right than a thicker fillet/ribeye), but by that point we’d had enough to and from with the young waiter (who was excellent & professional and apologetic) that I didn’t want to put him through going back to the kitchen (again!) and just wanted to eat! Chips/fries aren’t included with the steaks, and at £30-£38 for a steak, asking for £6-£7 for a small punnet of chips is, in my opinion, on the cheeky side of things. We went for the truffle & Parmesan fries which A) didn’t have much of truffle flavour and B) just had a sprinkling of Parmesan on top (it should to be tossed in a bowl if you ask me) All in all I didn’t feel we got great value from a £110 steak dinner for two (I’d suggest steak experts Hudson’s any day of the week), but would come again to try one of the many other styles of cuisine (Bill’s style). If Google allowed it this would be a 3.5 ⭐️. I’ll come back again later in the year and update based on next experience.

As always a good experience at The Ivy. Food is good, if a few pounds too expensive in my opinion. We were given a free birthday profiterole which is a nice touch! Friendly staff and decent service.

Fantastic breakfast!, generous portions and very well cooked. Great service as usual.

Beautiful place. The food is tasty. Service at a very high level. I recommend

Loved the food and atmosphere here!

Always a great lunch set menu and great value

Excellent service the food was delicious. The dessert was a nice surprise we were treated verg wrll by the staff Very reasonable priced

The individual service was superb. Every member of staff seemed primed to give an individual service to all. As last minute as I could make it I let them know it was our 25th anniversary. The maitre d' took it in their stride, and nailed it. The five stars on food atmosphere and service was easy and second to none. And all on a Monday with now warning. Perfect Thanks to all the staff.

Afternoon Tea is INCREDIBLY poor value! Upon entry imagine my dismay to find a table of scruffy fellows opposite, who looked like they'd just come from the gym, in hoodies no less! I understood there was a dress code here? Felt very OTT in my shoes and shirt, shouldn't have bothered! We waited a while before being asked what we wanted to drink, perhaps the champaign that comes with set menu? Girl was new though and very nice. The food presents well but was phenomenally underwhelming; the dry egg fingers were grim, only ate as I was starving. Tasteless egg on dry bread, who thought this was a good idea? The other rolls tasted like from Waitrose, nice but hardly worth £90 for two people! The creme brulee was cold and average. Weird choice to have a cup cake with heavy frosting, I'd expect to pay £3 for this in a bakery, really not fine dining experience. The scones were average, nothing compared to local tea shop, super stingy on the jam, one measly spoon for two people! Didn't even taste great quality jam. The other puddings were very sweet and forgettable. Tea came after the food which was clearly odd and was two teabags!! in a pot for two, so was piss weak! Unbelievable not to have loose leaf for this price and then cheap out on the bags! The champaign wasn't great nor were the cocktails we had after, tries to be clever but fails. Amazingly poor value, be warned!

Sunday afternoon tea for two. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and we were warmly welcomed. Our waiter took our order but then disappeared - he seemed to have gone off shift, but didn't tell us or the other staff. Our food arrived, but then we waited for ages for our tea (drink). Had to ask for it after about 20mins but the other waiters seemed to be irritated that we were asking them! Then had to chase for butter 3 times and it was very difficult to get anyone's attention for anything - even when trying to get the bill. Service was charged at 12.5% without an option not to pay it. It was very quiet - no excuse for poor service. It's a shame - I went about 2 years prior and it was great - I won't go again. I also miss the leaf tea with proper strainers - this time it was teabags.

We had a really lovely experience. The staff was very kind. The architecture of the place is very beautiful. The afternoon tea was amazing en delicious. It was our friend's birthday and we got a little dessert for that occasion. This was a Nice surprise. We really recommend this place for an afternoon tea. You wiill not regret it.

Excellent service and food in a lovely clean beautifully decorated restaurant. Food was amazing

Dusty lampshades on bar and behind tables - makes you wonder about the kitchen cleanliness. Over priced

Didn’t live up to expectations for me. The food was good but service slow and far too expensive for the overall experience and comparable options

The Ivy in Bath had been on our list for sometime. At last, we managed to find time to go there. But .. sadly my experience at The Ivy was not what I expected (an experience I will hopefully never try again). Nice place. Over priced. My food was tough..dry & very bland. Staff: pleasant (but appeared under pressure). The service charge definitely should be an option upon paying (NOT automatic). This is easy to do ..upon paying the bill just ask the client if they wish to include the service charge.. a simple YES OR NO. (VOILA!).

They took the worst from both French and British cousins. Expensive and tasteless.

Lovely place , lovely food , lovely staff ...

Great food across all the restaurants, wonderful atmosphere and decor, pricing good for quality

Teníamos entradas de teatro y decidimos darnos un capricho con una comida primero. Pudimos reservar una mesa el día anterior y no nos decepcionó. Los dos comimos filete de ribeye que estaba muy sabroso. He comido en restaurantes de carne especializados, pero esto era incluso mejor que ellos. Las papas fritas estaban libres de gluten y estoy feliz de informar que no hay contaminación cruzada. Cote es siempre mi ir al restaurante donde quiera que vaya en el país, ya que es tan seguro comer allí. El personal era muy atento y encantador también. Gracias.

Went for a meal with my wife before going to the Theatre. Staff were friendly and pleasant. The decor was great and were seated quickly. Food was excellent and served quickly. Only grumble was service charge put on bill and not mentioned. Would recommend but next time will take service charge off.

This is my second visit to an Ivy (the first was in Chichester) and I had the same experience. The food came before the drinks, the toast with the breakfast was cold, the service was terrible. The waitress never checked in with us and I also thought she was quite rude/blunt. Take into account this was a Monday morning and it wasn’t busy in the slightest. Unfortunately the prices do not reflect the service you receive at these restaurants. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time but now I’ve been to another one in a different city and it’s exactly the same problems. I will not be spending anymore money at an Ivy. It’s a shame because the food is nice but for some reason their staff do not reflect the image they are going for. Disappointing to say the least.

Really disappointed with the service received at the Ivy given its reputation. It was really poor, never checked in whilst eating. Abrupt staff member. Then has the cheek to add a “service charge” to the bill. Went for breakfast and it’s nice food, it’s not worth the price however, especially considering a few items in the breakfast were cold.

Vine aquí a cenar con un amigo. Tuvimos unas cacatillas para empezar que eran muy buenas. Tenía las fritas de carne, que era genial. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente, volveremos!

Great atmosphere, waiter service but disappointing dish! Arrogant attitude of chef no remedy offered when issue raised with server. So don't choose the wild mushroom linguine. Quantity of mushrooms and pine nuts very poor given the price point.

OK - but the Sunday evening we went they had run out of steak (fillet rib eye and sirloin ) . No taxis available back to hotel between 22;00 and 22:45.

My husband and I have often visited our local branch of Cote for birthdays and other occasions, but this was our first time visiting the Bath resturant. It's in a lovely setting in Milsom Place, and while being Valentine's Day, it was very busy, we were served quickly by friendly staff, and the food was lovely.

Friendly place, very attentive staff and delicious food. We had a very good time.

We had a very good meal here, the staff are very friendly and professional. Service was first class, and the food was well presented and full of taste. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the interior is very ornate.

A delicious lunch here on Sunday. Roast beef, fish and chips, tarte tatin. Food top notch and attentive service. Nice vibe and ambience. A similarly enjoyable experience to the Ivy Marylebone.

The service was really excellent and the waiter we had was very patient with us considering we brought our infant child with us, so from a family friendly point of view we couldn't fault it. The food was okay. We had a few starters which were all pretty good but the surprising favourite was the Zucchini Fritti. We ordered steaks for main, one Sirloin (Mid Rare) and one Rib Eye (Rare) which were both cooked incorrectly. The Sirloin was well-done, no pink inside at all. The Rib Eye was rare on one end and pretty much blue on the other. The sides (Thick Cut Chips, Garden Peas and Carrot and Swede Mash) were good. Pudding was good if a little rich. We both ordered the chocolate bombe, which we both liked but found a little overly sweet. It is very nice inside and the staff are very friendly. The seating is comfortable and the overall atmosphere is pretty relaxed. However, if i hadn't have been given a gift card for this place i wouldn't spend the money to come back. The whole 3 courses came to nearly £180, which is pretty pricey considering the quality we got.

Was a super busy evening but the service and the food was excellent. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Very relaxing atmosphere

Stunning food! Can't fault our experience at all. Lovely waitress called Kinga, Service was quick and friendly. They amended our valentine's meal time slot as we were going to be late. Overall a wonderful experience.

Excellent all round. Fab staff too!

Family Birthday party. Lunch very good, plenty of choice on the menu . Good use of old bank.

Excelente comida con un gran servicio de Stefan. Nuestros filetes fueron cocinados a la perfección. Nuestras comidas de pollo socios eran igualmente buenos. Recomendamos de todo corazón una visita y volveremos.

Squashed us in a bit but was good

Lovely food Great Service Fab lunch

Visit @the_bath_foodie on insta for more Bath restaurant pictures, videos and info! We’ve been to the Ivy in Bath twice and, although it was fine, for this price point there are SOOO many better places in Bath. During both visits the restaurant appears to have been over booked. During our first visit (dinner) we were moved from our table to the bar immediately after our desert and our unfinished win bottle ended up being lost. During our second visit (breakfast with visiting family) the squeezed 5 of sun into a too small booth and we could hardly breath. Both times were pre booked. Not the end of the world but for the price we know we can get better service and food elsewhere.

Absolutely amazing!!! We booked a table couple of days before coming to Bath for my partners Birthday and we didn’t regret it. The service was amazing, the server really looked after us and made sure we had everything + the atmosphere was lively and nice. We ordered T-bone steak and let me tell you- it was the best steak I’ve ever had! Made exactly how we like it and the sauces - yum! They’ve got large drinks menu too It’s pricey but for a special occasion - there’s no better place than the Ivy!!! Also- thank you for the lovely bday dessert on the house for my partner 💕

Visited many Ivy's. Winchester being our local one. Slightly dissapointing . Service not as good as used to . Breakfast still ok. But just ok . Oxford only 2 weeks ago. Which was better.

I visited with friends on 16th Feb, food was lovely, but the bill was wrong, I have now phoned twice to get it rectified , the first time I was told they were sending a message to get a refund, the 2nd time I repeated the problem and was put on hold for over 10 minutes so hung up!

As I’ve written before, I’ve long held the view that the posher the location, the worse the breakfast. It’s a complex dilemma: do you opt for somewhere warm and welcoming, where the service is lovely but there’s a real risk of unnecessary garnish on your fried eggs? Or do you brave a hard plastic seat next to a man muttering to himself while devouring the fry-up of your dreams? Well, today we went posh. The Ivy in Bath is a feast for the eyes—genuinely one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city. And after a night on the tiles, it’s exactly what you want: a warm welcome, a comfortable seat, and a hot coffee placed in front of you before you’ve even remembered how you got home. The service is impeccable, the food arrives swiftly, and yes, there’s something green and decorative perched on my eggs—but you know what? I don’t mind. Because a Sunday morning at The Ivy is exactly what Sunday mornings should be.

It’s ok - but a chain now with a cookie cutter approach which devalues the experience in my opinion..like a posh McDonalds

A delicious meal in a gorgeous restaurant. Only disappointing thing for us was we went for an advertised jazz and dinner evening and our table was booked for 9pm, just as the jazz trio were packing up. No indication that this was when the music would finish.

Great service and food, they do 2 and 3 course special offers at lunch, well worth the money.

Eat there twice as we enjoyed it so much. Food and service was excellent.

I went to the Ivy whilst on my stay in Bath. I went for brunch with my mum for her 60th birthday. Having not booked a table, we were still allocated a lovely seating area and was greeted by the lovely Romina who was absolutely outstanding. Romina made our dining experience extra special and couldn't cater to us more. She told us about the sites we should visit and even took the time to direct us to these wonderful places. Having told her it was my mum's birthday she even arranged for a dessert with a candle for my mum. Such a thoughtful touch and it made my mums day. The food was outstanding and we will definitely be returning on our next visit to Bath. Thank you to all the staff who work exceptionally hard in making sure you have the most wonderful experience 🥰

Visited on a Sunday night, was fairly busy considering how quiet the city was in general. Food was really good and brought out relatively quickly. Staff were attentive and helpful, but not overbearing. Value of the winter 3 course menu was great. All in all - strongly recommend.

cote is always reliable but on this visit, to celebrate having paintings hung in the Victoria Gallery, Bath, it was excellent. I had Bacon salads starter, and Steak frites. My partner had the Fish pie, ending the meal with coffees. But, it wasn’t just 5he very well cooked and presented food that was the star, but the lovely waitress. Attentive, thoughtful, not intrusive, sociable, made the visit extra pleasant.

I had an exceptional experience during my visit today. The service provided was remarkable, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and consistently demonstrated kindness and excellence throughout our meal. The food was not only delicious but also offered a unique selection that stood out. The atmosphere of the establishment was inviting, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. Additionally, the restrooms were impeccably clean and maintained to a high standard. The timing of the meal service was also impressive, with drinks, starters, and the main course arriving promptly. Khinga who looked after us was exceptional.Thank you.

We booked breakfast for 4 people and were squeezed on a small table despite most of the restaurant being empty. The decor is gorgeous so you feel like it's luxurious. Unfortunately being squeezed on a table with plates that were more bowl like made eating difficult made it feel far from luxury. The food was fine, but nothing special. The toast we ordered never arrived and we had to take it off the bill. The black coffee is really unpleasant. The Ivy doesn't deliver any more and that will be our last visit. We'll stick to local independents.

Plenty of competition for brunch in Bath but this was a great experience. Brunch at 9.30. Restaurant was very quiet. Food was delicious: smashed avo and grilled toms on toast with lots seeds and herbs; and the birchermuesli was delicious not too sweet. Excellent coffee, second cup free. Service by our Italian waiter (sorry I didn’t ask your name) was delightful and efficient. Cheaper than our hotel breakfast too!! Great job.

A fantastic meal. Couldn’t fault anything. Good service too. Lovely atmospheric restaurant. Highly recommended and good value too
