Côte is an attractive, comfortable place with excellent food and attentive service. Our server let us taste two different wines before we ordered a full bottle to go with our meal. A very nice touch. We had the three course holiday menu, with the turkey dinner as the main course. There was a very generous portion of turkey, with the English equivalent of "all the trimmings." Very nicely presented, too.

We really enjoyed our Friday night meal. We had two little kids and the kid's menu was spot on. The restaurant was a nice mixture of a good solid brasserie and a family friendly atmosphere. This is one of the better Cote in the chain.
