This is a brilliant place for a steak meal. Best steak I've had as far as I can remember; beats other steakhouses any day. Didn't need the blue cheese sauce (dunked my fries in it instead), just sprinkled some salt on the steak. The beef empanadas starters were delicious too. We went for lunch midweek so didn't have to book although I had beforehand just in case (wife's birthday!). I could imagine how popular they would be in the evenings. Tasty unobtrusive decor, leather themed place mats, comfy chairs, excellent service. Luckily we were on the upper floor so not subjected to raucous company downstairs. However they were so loud the noise floated up the stairwell otherwise it would have been splendidly quiet. I will definitely go again. It's restimulated my steak palate.

So i found this place to eat as we were in reading and came across this restaurant as it had excellent reviews and when i say it did not disappoint it didn’t!! Highly recommend this place to eat! The staff were incredible and i ended up ordering the fillet steak and it was the best steak i have ever eaten! The great selection of food and drink was exceptional! The ambience was perfect and i really felt a special guest!!

Food good, service slow and surly, won't rush back.

Good food & service with lovely friendly staff - been before and will definitely return

My brother and I took my Dad out for a birthday lunch. We had to reschedule to meet in Reading last minute and Cote had availability. We arrived at 1.30pm and got given a choice of tables, we chose a lovely round table by the window and had such a lovely lunch. The service was immaculate, really attentive without being too much, food was delicious and delivered in good time but not too quick, and the ambiance was excellence. The maitre d’ clearly took pride in running a slick service and really couldn’t have asked for more! Fantastic, thank you.
