Nice to have Cote in Watford. A reliable choice. Fair price. Waiting staff are particularly good in this branch.

We really enjoyed the food and the casual atmosphere in the restaurant. We will definitely coming back there with the family. Especially to mention the waiter Fabio N, he was very kind & attentive with us during the service and advised what was the best food options available. Great experience, thank you!

The staff were good but the food was slow to come out and what I would call small portions, it doesn’t need to be huge for brunch but the smoked salmon on seeded bread was tiny. Food was distinctly average, I’d go somewhere else next time. As another reviewer stated the halls to the toilets are incredibly slippery. Safety hazard

Very disappointed. Staff were pretty useless, and they don’t take cash!! The hallways up the stairs to the toilets was very slippery, an absolute health hazard!

I went to have lunch with a group from the company, and I ordered a well-done steak. However, when the food arrived, the steak was dry as a sole, accompanied by wilted lettuce and potatoes. The meal seemed like it had been cooked for hours and reheated. The service was not very professional, and the taste of the food was awful – tough and old meat.

This place REFUSES to take cash!!! I just hope that they experience a decently long power supply outage of a few weeks minimum. Then they might have regretted being completely CASHLESS. Come on, Mon Ami, you can seriously do better than that.

Update: Despite being short of staff, this restaurant is awesome. Went here again last week. As i knew, i would be returning after my last experience. Now im looking at returning for my birthday next month, which should be nice. Thank you to Ed. Jessica. Neringa. Alwin. Violeta. Lewis and abdul. - previous review. A massive thanks to this restaurant. I came here for a friends wedding meal. The staff are awesome, and the cook is amazing. Due to dietary needs, i never eat steak, but today, i made an exception for the first time in 17 years (yes, seriously!). Kasper made an awesome mean steak with fries, so tasty well cooked (my preference, i can't do medium) and tender. Made my day. Thank you, Kasper. Emilia and Andreea, awesome service. On point. Well organised and we were warm welcomes. Thank you both. Cosy and clean restaurant. Def a new favourite for myself in the future.

This was my first visit to Cote in ten years. My previous experiences were not great. We eat out a lot and it was suggested we go to Cote. I begrudgingly agreed. It was excellent. Service superb, menu so much better than all the other chain restaurants. Prices sensible which meant we had a nicer bottle of wine! Will be returning. And soon. Ps only marked atmosphere as a 3* as it was a wet, miserable Tuesday in January when we visited.

We consistently choose the Watford and St Albans branches of Cote for family outings, as they consistently provide exceptional food and a delightful atmosphere. Additionally, the Windsor branch has become our preferred destination for quarterly ladies' nights with friends, offering superb cuisine and a charming riverside setting. We highly recommend these branches for a memorable dining experience.

Came here for a company Christmas meal. I controversially got the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Portions were on the small side but that is to be expected with the quality. Only real issue was we felt mislead when choosing the wine and ended up buying several bottles that were alot more expensive than what we thought which was a shock at the end. Great food and good service though, was impressed.

My son has a nut allergy, the lady serving our table was called Neringa, she was very careful to check the allergen detail of my son food and equally ensured the food was clearly identified when brought to our table as some of his choses were the same as his sisters.

We were served by Ed today, who was an absolute charming sweetheart! This was the best service we ever received in Watford. The atmosphere in here was so cozy and elegant, it was like escaping to another reality, which is exactly what we did after a day of hard work. With such high quality of gourmet dishes and beverages, this was no longer just a simple dining out, it was an experience. We are definitely coming back here again and inviting our family over to share this wonderful experience of what seems like a 5 star restaurant for a very reasonable price.

Came here on a Sunday morning for brunch with my 6 year old son for a vegetarian big breakfast. My first visit here and was deciding between this place or second visit to Cassio Lounge. I couldn’t fault the staff, they were friendly and helpful and the ambience was good. The food however, I’m sorry to say was poor. I was expecting a yokey fried egg (not dried and shrivelled up). The potato fritte was a shameful stingy small size and and the breakfast was missing baked beans (which they don’t serve). I get that this is a French restaurant but by no means was this a better standard than something non-French. I genuinely expected better. My son didn’t like his vegan burger but ok that’s him, I thought it was ok with the chips. The starter croquettes with salmon was also poor and I struggled to see or taste any salmon. Unlikely I’ll eat here again. I left feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Ed the manager was really good and acknowledged the feedback and offered to discount the croquettes which I appreciated.

Since the Amersham Cote closed, this is now our nearest. Unpretentious traditional French cuisine, at a very reasonable price.

Absolutely appalling service- they could not be any slower if they tried. Had to ask for order to be taken. They did not at any point ask if we wanted a drink or how our food was. Trying to get their attention was ridiculous- the place wasn't even that busy.There were 4 of us booked in for 1pm and we were having the fixed menu. We left just before 4pm and even when we asked for the bill they were so slow taking payment. We did not pay the service charge as the service was dreadful. I regularly go to Cote St Albans which always does a good job so I am particularly disappointed as I expected so much more. I will not be going back to this restaurant as they clearly do not have any idea of how to make customers feel valued or any idea of customer service. A shame I cannot give zero stars!

Average European cuisine. Disappointing tomato tartlet. Quite insubstantial and lacking in any excitement. Vegetarian options a little limited compared to meat and fish. We shared starters which were as expected olives, sourdough bread which were nicely presented. We didn't bother with pudding as there wasn't any exotic ice cream eg pistachio or anything else that seemed inspired to tickle our taste buds. Decent wine choices and all drinks good value.

Excellent surprise with this place . They have a great value lunch meal 15£ for starter and main before 7pm and it’s well worth it . No substitute on the quality. Soup and salad were excellent , sea bass was one of the best I had in a long time and truffle chips were just the way I liked them. Bread and olives were very tidy too . Only negatives are - the croutons in the salad are not ok and sliding the olives and bread into the bill without notification was abit of a surprise. Because we was offered bread like it was complimentary. However ! Excellent place to go and will defiantly go again, worth every £

Been going to Cote for many years, firstly in St Albans, then in Watford when they opened a branch here and was our go-to reasonably priced restaurant with nice table service. Certainly a step up from the local Indian. The past several times though I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. The food is not quite as nice as it used to be and the portion sizes have visibly shrunk a considerable amount. I understand that restaurants have overheads, but in the end - you sell food - this is what customers come for. The food is not something you should overly tinker with as it is the first thing customers will notice. I'd certainly think twice before going again. I think that "chain" restaurants have had their day to be honest. Perhaps best to seek out a local family run restaurant, though I suspect they are far and few between these days.

Very nice food in decent portions, typically French, I’d say. Tuna Niçoise salad and the fish stew in particular are great (I’m a seafood and fish lover, so I may be biased). The wine selection is pretty extensive, not on the cheap side, but you pay for quality. The waiters are friendly and professional at the same time. The indoors sitting area is very generous snd the outdoors one is really decent. The staff makes you feel respected and welcomed. A medium-priced place in my opinion, but they never lack clients
