Stunning food, the tuna nicoise salad was extremely tasty! I also had hot chocolate for dessert which was delicious! Service was excellent, the staff were very friendly. The only problem was that it was very cold where we were sitting so we didn't take our jackets off but everything else was spot on!

What a great place!
Went here for a pre theatre meal with my sister and was bowled over! The food was good (a bit of salad or greens for the Steak Frites wouldn't go amiss, but the food was tasty)
But the main reason for the high mark was the service - especially by Grace, who was really friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and endearing. She put us at easy and just deserves the highest praise for being so good at her job.

I have been here twice now and for a chain restaurant it has a really high quality & intimate feel. The food has always been amazing but the stand out thing for me is the service. The staff here always go above and beyond what is expected to make you feel comfortable. A really enjoyable experience and I would definitely recommend this place and be back again!

Great experience as usual. This visit was for our anniversary & the main server, Grace, was so lovely & engaging & welcomed us with Kir Royales. Lively atmosphere, good food served on warmed plates, we will definitely be back.

Good customer service and your usual Cote fare.

Having had a number of poor experiences at other Cote branches, I was reluctant to go to another but with a relative who has celiac disease it's a safe option for them.

It's not got a prime spot looking out across the bay, but for a family dinner this wasn't an issue for us.

The waiter was quiet but friendly and attentive, and happy to help.

I started with the pea and olive tartlet, which was tasty, although the base was a little solid. For main, I had the vegan burger, swapping out the vegan cheese for regular cheese. The burger was delicious (and I'd definitely recommend going for the regular cheese unless you're vegan). I'd ordered truffle fries, and unfortunately was served regular fries but the Maitre d' apologised, told us to keep the french fries and brought out fresh truffle fries a minute later.

The cheese board for dessert is a generous portion for the price, and everyone else enjoyed all their meals.

For 9 of us, including drinks and with half the party have three courses, the rest having two, it came to 335 GBP including tip.

We went to this Cote in October 2021 and it was so busy. We were going to see the Book Of Mormon and this restaurant was close by. It seemed like everyone had the same idea as the place was packed!
Everything was really good apart from the olives. The olives were quite mushy and the dark ones tasted a bit off. Other than that it was great.
I had the crab maison to start and so did my girlfriend. It was very nice.
For main I had the beef cheek bourguignon and my girlfriend had the mussels. Both of us were very happy with the food!
They only serve bottled beer which I'm not a fan off, always prefer draught.
But this restaurant is a good choice if you are going to Cardiff Bay or to see a show.

Waited for 45 minutes for two croque madames to firstly be served two apple crumbles that we didn’t order. When the food did eventually come the side salad looked like it had been pulled out of the bin (picture attached genuinely as it was served). Overall definitely not worth the price.

Lovely food with simple but effective presentation. Located on the bay next to the funfair. Plenty of choice of wholesome well cooked food. We went as a large group with children and were made very welcome and seated together. Service was unexpectedly outstanding and exceptionally friendly. We would love to go back!
