Restaurant Cote

"This Cote is also the Maple Room. My husband and I do a lot of lunch dates and was looking for The Cote but the sign in the door says come in next door we go next door and realized we was in the Maple Room which was 1 in the same. This is a very cozy spot with just a couple of table, a bar area and a couch. It got real packed, real quick. The waitress was nice and she was also the bartender. The wait for our food was long to say we just ordered a couple of burgers and fries. Overall experience was ok. Food was ok. We observed a lack of diversity among the patrons during lunch time it maybe different at other times or on the Cote side. While we may not rush back, we do appreciate the spot it holds in the city."

"We’ve been to Coté a few times. The brunch was excellent! Everything was perfect. I’ve been for lunch and it was good and finally came for dinner. For us, dinner is where the rub is. The server (Star) was great. Extremely kind, patient, and efficient. I had the Caesar Salad with fried oysters. In an area where other establishments tend to be stingy, Cote delivers a NICE amount of oysters. The salad was chargrilled, and that didn’t really do anything for it. It would’ve been better chopped. There is no blue cheese lettuce wedge on the menu (we also asked if it could be done off menu). This seems like a missed opportunity for Cotè, both in profits and menu choices. The chicken and andouille gumbo was just okay. I didn’t know it had okra in it, and there wasn’t any chicken. Onto the drinks. The lemon thyme lemon drop had a lovely garnish and it could have had more pucker. A lemon drop should have a high pucker factor, and this one didn’t. If the thyme was muddled, its oils and aroma would have been enjoyed much more. The cosmopolitan was good. It’s worth mentioning that on this particular evening, Cotè was doing service only in the bar, as the main restaurant had been reserved for a wedding. The server doubled as the bartender and she did a lovely job all around. We very much appreciated her style."

"To say this was our worst brunch experience ever would be an understatement. Our party of 6 arrived at noon, there was a party of 12 and a party of 6 already there. The 6 had already eaten. We tried to order an appetizer, they had already run out of what we chose. Two hours into service, they were out of one of three appetizers to choose from. The restaurant was LOUD. With only 24 customers in the dining room, it was hard to concentrate, much less converse with my family at the table. Not able to get an appetizer, we placed our order. Then we waited...and waited...and waited. An hour into waiting, our server came to our table and said the kitchen was working on our order. Thirty minutes after that our food began to arrive. I ordered the paneed pork, what I got was a deep fried pork chop over very bland grits and an overcooked fried egg. My wife and daughter wanted classic Eggs Benedict, but that wasn't an option (3 other "Benedict" options) but the menu clearly stated "No substitutions" So they ordered the closest thing possible to Eggs Benedict. It was inedible. The biscuits were stale, the eggs were overcooked and what they called Hollandaise was liquid garbage. It was closer to a watery cheese sauce. (Picture included.) I felt so bad taking my family here that I came home and made actual Eggs Benedict for dinner. (Picture also included.) Compare the "Hollandaise" that we were served (in the cup) and what I made for dinner (on the paper plate) I gave 1 star because it wouldn't let me leave zero. I'll give the star to our drinks, Old Fashioned was on point."

"When I was greeted by the roach leg on the menu I should have gotten up and left. The appetizer plates had bugs and was caked in dirt. I ordered the bottomless mimosa, which was absolutely horrible. The salt shaker was caked in rust and dirt. The biscuits were freezer burnt store-bought biscuits. I had to spit it out. I should have known when it crumbled into pieces. I got the chicken sandwich, the gouda grits had a hair in it and the replacement was filed with the burnt pieces from the bottom of the pot. They also had a hair hanging off one of the beignet bites. The waffles were also freezer burnt directly from the sysco truck. I have been to plenty of restaurants in the area and this was the worst one yet. They gave me 15% off. The only thing decent was the bacon. Do not eat here until they clean up their act, literally. Tl;dr: roach legs, bugs, freezer burnt, hair."

"It was a really great place to eat, The ambiance was great, the servers were very nice and very attentive to our needs. Now everything is made fresh, so it does take a bit longer to get your food, but the weight is well worth it and they keep good tabs on you while you are waiting, we definitely will return, if you haven't been, you must go and try it!!"
