Extremely good service from Alex, and the manager. I pre ordered drinks for a birthday celebration, which was brought to the table as a surprise. Service was amazing, attention to detail and friendly staff. Thank you Alex and team. I always enjoy my visit to the restaurant.

I had an awful experience here today. Me and my two best friends had a brilliant time in Chester this weekend and this resteraunt put a downer on the whole thing. We decided to eat here for breakfast. We sat down and within seconds we were asked if we are ready to order, we kindly said no, then were asked 3 more times within the same 3 minutes. Meaning we barely had time to decide. When the food came, we had no cutlery and weren't asked if we wanted sauce. When my friend asked for sauce she was met with a discusting look from the waitress, who I soon found out was the manager, along with 'what sauce?' In a discusted tone. We didn't get asked if our food was okay once. Additionally - I didn't have a second bite of my sausage butty as it was utterly vile. As soon as my friends finished eating - I went to pay the bill and explain to the waiter how upset both me and my friend were with the service and quality of food. I was then shouted at by the waitress who had earlier given us a bad look. She was in my face arguing with me. After all of this - they gave me the card machine with the service charge still on, and I immediately asked for it to be taken off. I expected half of the money off of the food - never mind paying the service charge. Utterly RUDE manager and the food matched her energy. Save yourself a rough time and GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Lovely staff very helpful and friendly. Service a bit slow. We were booked in for 6pm but didn't get our food till 7pm. (They had our choices in advance). Be carefully when paying your bill. We were charged service charge which was £50 not noticed till the next day. It does say optional on the bottom of the menu but we were not made aware of this.

Great food, awful service. My waiter disappeared and I did’t get my main course, although the place (the floor at least) was essentially empty. A couple of salon managers chatting and idling around in the meantime, not caring to check if everything was alright and why my table was not being serviced for half an hour. Very disappointed, and not coming back. Such a shame really, the place was recommended to me but I was totally let down

White wine could have been colder, food could have been hotter. Had to send two portions of frites back. Pointless sliver of onion and wilted leaves on the plate. Butter was meagre for the quantity of bread. Waiter was bizarre, loud and infantilising - “Righty-ho guys! Here’s your lovely steak, AND IT WOULDN’T BE RIGHT WITHOUT YOUR FRIEEEESSS!!” Standards appear to be slipping…

We both had dishes on the fixed price menu. Serving staff were great as was the quality of the food. Two clean plates tells it all. Would go again if we re-visit Chester.

Cote in Chester has a special charm compared with other restaurants from the same chain ! It is one of our favourite places to go... Cote has managed to keep consistent quality of food and service through the years and it is always nice to go back there at least once a month.

Dreadful value. Tables small and you feel like you are eating with the table next to you. Asked to move and response poor. French onion soup was tasteless and all cheap onion. Cauliflower cheese was raw, offered another one but already halfway through our meal. Next table they brought the wrong order and tried to blame the customer. Steak cooking was bad. And they charged a fortune - next time go to Miller and Carter, same cost much better!

Booked in for Friday evening, and it was very nice. The staff are helpful, pleasant, and friendly, I would be happy to recommend this place to any of my friends. Good choice on the menu, not overpriced but about what you would expect to pay for good food. Service is pretty quick, but they don't rush you, good selection of wine, beers, and other drinks. Give it a go, you'll enjoy the place in sure. I enjoyed the food so much I forgot to take photos except for our charcuterie board and garlic bread. For my main i had steak, my wife had fish. For dessert, my wife had créme brúlèe, I had the chocolate tart. We also had a bottle of merlot which was very nice.

Food was really good and Alex‘s recommendations were spot on. Nothing was too much for Alex. Alex also bet me I couldn’t mention her name ten times in a review, but Alex underestimated me. Alex gets a glass of wine for every time her name is mentioned so that’s win win. Well done Alex and enjoy your wine 🍷😁

Well in advance, we booked a table to bring a friend to enjoy Saxophone Sunday on 24th November, specifying the event. This month I rang to check the timing, as it seemed to have changed. The staff member spoke to his manager to confirm. But tonight it turns out that it's not on, the saxophonist isn't available, the restaurant denies any responsibility for the adverts, and never bothered to tell me...very poor way to treat your customers.

Great food and service, only let down by being yet another establishment to adopt the policy of adding a service charge to the bill automatically. In my opinion it should be entirely up to the customer if they want to leave a tip for good service and not to have it added automatically.

Well,well,today we visited the cote restaurant in chester for having dinner. I asked a lady if the set menu is existing and she confirmed that it exists all day. We sat at the table and we looked at the menu, one list to me and one to mywife's. I realized that my list only had a small, 1/4 vertical page, with what it was included in the set menu,my wife's not!!!!.As we were disappointed with the food included in the fix menu we went on the way out but another lady asked us what is wrong,I explained to her that we are not satisfied with what is in the fix menu and we go. She made absolutely clear to us that it was a misunderstanding and we can choose any two or three from all the menu. So we return back to the table. We ordered a menu of two and a menu of three plus 500ml house wine. We asked for the bill and surprisingly we saw the bill been £90 instead of £58( 1 menu Two courses and one three courses plus the wine). I explained to the first lady what the other one said to us in front of her, and it was like we were talking different languages..... The food it was nice but that happened to us we shall never go back again.

Very good food and service. The room was a bit cold for myself and my partner, though others sat in shirt sleeves, so maybe that's just us. Our waiter was brilliant, with good knowledge of the menu, and helpful. He re-arranged several menu items so as to accommodate my partner's dietary restrictions. Some places do this, some make a fuss about it, and others will not deviate from the script. Cote did this without drama, and the whole experience was a great pleasure. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic food & wine with a very friendly service. The whole ambience is ideal for a truly classy dining experience. Dined here on a Sunday, there was live music provided by a saxophonist who got the playlist just right & at the right volume. William our waiter was a perfect host & nothing was too much trouble for him to make our dining experience a great one. This isn’t the first time we have eaten here, & Cote have been consistent in the quality of food,wine & waiting staff. 10/10!

Dinner at Cote Chester. Located in town centre. Serving staff polite & friendly. Had the 4 course dinner; including a glass of Crémant de Bourgogne. The crudités with that dip was tasty. The calamari starter was excellent. Fresh. Ordered extra dish of mussels with fries. The white wine stock was really tasty. Plumb mussels. The main fish dish was ok with the seafood nicely cooked. Finally, the créme brúlee was light and very nice to finish off the meal.

Great French Onion Soup! Service was fantastic. Visited on a very busy evening (where people had clearly been to Chester Races). We were sat on a table right in the way of the toilets (not the best table) and there was a very large, rowdy table next to us. It all kicked off, fights, screaming etc, you name it. The team shouldn’t have to deal with that, but it took quite a long time to even try to do something. Eventually (after a spoiled meal due to not being able to even talk to our party as it was so loud elsewhere), they moved us to another table at the front of the restaurant. The team did apologise, but I think they could have handled the situation better. The police should have been called.

I'd certainly recommend the Salade au Bacon & the Pan-Fried Seabass from the prix fixed menu. Although the restaurant was already busy at 6.30 pm, we were well looked after by William, who was both attentive & spoke knowledgably about the items on the menu and the wine list.

We went here as we had Tesco vouchers which I think a lot of people had and this may explain the prices for the food you get. You had to pick off the a la carte menu, I had Beef Bourguignon for £18.35 which contained two pieces of beef and a large amount of beefy mushrooms on a bed of mash. It looked very meaty but only two pieces. The King Prawn starter was nice at nearly ten pounds. There was quite a wait to be served as there seemed to be a changeover from the breakfast to the lunch sitting and someone from the kitchen staff ended up running out with the starters. If I did not have the Tesco vouchers I would not have been very happy at the prices charged, but the restraunt is still getting those full prices for the vouchers used I presume. The thing is you would never visit again based on the price for the mushroom Bourguignon and also the Cesar salad which was about £14 and you had to pay extra for chicken.

First visit after many years and I wasn’t disappointed. We went at lunchtime and there was a good atmosphere. The set lunch menu was an excellent price for good quality food. I had tomato soup as my starter and it was amazing. Followed by half a grilled chicken, salad and fries. Again excellent portion - no room for pud. I’ll definitely go back. 👍🏻
