We came for the Christmas Day set menu, and it was amazing! Each course was delicious, and we were stuffed to the brim by the end. Highly recommend!

Rushed to place our order on Christmas Day and had to place the order for everything - starter, main and desert, then what coffee we will want. We had to ask twice for cutlery. Desert and cheese board left on the table with no cutlery and staff seem to have dispersed. Ambience was pretty poor for Christmas Day - not much festive music or cheer. Food was reasonable value for money and we left stuffed. Waited 30 minutes for our coffees. Toilets being used by passers by on the street constantly but appreciate this is tricky to manage as the staff were busy!

Food was reasonable but overpriced compared to other restaurants, and took longer than it should have to arrive. Downstairs is dated, our area was dirty, and mens toilets are disgusting. Disappointed

Very busy during lunchtime. Long wait for waiter. Then pressure to order quickly. After the main course no one came by to take a dessert order.

Christmas office party carnage in a basement with very loud music made our quiet dinner impossible as we couldn’t hear a word. Should have known better! But our server couldn’t have been kinder or better. Food was as Cote does - fine.

I’m a regular and was disappointed on my last visit. We usually have the bread and olives as our starters and then once we’ve finished we’ll have our mains. Last night, we were sent our mains after we’d literally just received our starters. We told them to take the food back, which they did. When we were ready for our mains, they arrived but instead of cooking us fresh steaks, they had simply kept the food warm which gave a powdery texture to the filet and of course it was overcooked. It was inedible. Even the fries looked dried out and they’d forgotten the cauliflower so had to quickly make up a batch which was barely cooked and almost raw. If this was our first visit to Côte St Paul’s, I wouldn’t be going back, but I know they can do better. I’ve had many a fantastic evening dining here, so I’ll put this down to a one off

Not the best experience. Understaffed so one main didn’t arrive, which made for an uncomfortable lunch. We did negotiate down the bill! I do like the food at Cote, but the prix fixe was not available.
