We were able to grab a reservation for an early dinner the same day. They had the front door/windows open so it feels as if you're dining al fresco, but still inside the restaurant. I was hungry and ordered the steak and fries. The steak came with a pat of herb butter. You can only choose med-rare or well-done. So of course, it was med-rare for me. It was delicious with fantastic flavor, enhanced with the melting herb butter. The fries were crisp and delicious. I don't know what type of sauce came with my steak on the side, but I ended up dipping my fries in them, and it made it a different experience. Thankfully I had room for dessert, so my wife and I split the Birthday Dessert Box. No it wasn't anyone's birthday, but the menu describes this as a golden chocolate orb with vanilla ice cream, honeycomb, chocolate strands, freeze-dried raspberries, gold flakes (didn't notice these), and the server pours hot salted caramel sauce on top when it arrives. This was divine! What a great way to end a fantastic dinner.

We were then seated for a table of two, our server was friendly and attentive and informative on the menu items. We took advantage of their special, which was a plates for about $20-$30. I believe depending on which entrée you get I believe the steak was an upgrade price. Appetizers I have the curry chicken skewers, which were flavorful and delicious and for entrée I had the truffle Parmesan spaghetti with mushrooms, which were delicious!

After walking around the Kensington area looking for a restaurant that didn't need reservations for…read moreon a Saturday night, we stumbled across Cote and they took us right in. It had a pleasant ambience to it, like a little mid scale camparison of Woodranch, as the waiters still served you wearing aprons. The food selection was good, they had a variety from pastas, salads, and meats. My husband and I ordered the 10oz Ribeye, usually served with Frites, but we asked if we can change it out to creamy mashed potatos. My daughter had the sirloin steak with frites, and my son had a cheeseburger with frites. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Our server was a gentleman named Daniel, who I understand worked at a different location, and was just there to fill-in that night. His mannerisms was sweet and service was amazing. When he found out we were from the US, he got excited and showed us some memorabilia from his visit to the US that he considered good luck. The desserts were also delicious. The pistaschio creme brûlée and chocolate cake was a delight.

Foie gras is banned where we live and it was quite a treat. There was an ample selection and variety of French cheeses on la planche de fromage -- all were fab and accompanied by crostini and fruit. Of course, we enjoyed their wine and limoncello. The dining room is quaint with candles and French music playing. I discovered additional seating downstairs en route to the restroom. Take note of the motivational quote, "There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs." You can also dine al fresco. It was wonderful to find a taste of Paris in London.

This French place embodies the best sense of the French phrase "c'est correct," which means so much…read moremore than the literal meaning of doing things right. To an American, you would ask, why do things correctly? But it is perhaps the highest compliment, and I learned to appreciate that when I lived in Paris. English people know the value of doing things properly. French staff and clients? Beveled mirrors and touches of engraved glass? Short, non-flowery menu descriptions? Check check check. I think in a number of years when the floor gets more scuffed, and they cram the tables together more, it will feel downright parisien. I just had to get the duck confit, as I always do, and it was very good. You could see the rebellion showing through, however, as it was served on a bed of beans and sauce of pureed green herbs. To finish, the froid-chaud, or as we Americans call it, a hot-fudge sundae. All in all, a thoroughly satisfying meal. Gluten-free notes: Many French dishes are naturally gluten free! The whole thing of "all French sauces are full of flour" is utter rubbish, as I learned while living in Paris for several years. They were able to confirm which dishes were gluten free.

The service was incredible and it's evident that the wait staff here are at the top of their game and enjoying what they do. You'd think they had been open for years rather than just a few months. Clientele seemed to be mostly French, or at least they were able to speak French very well. This I have to say only added to the atmosphere, which is definitely formal enough to be a special occasion place but by no means stiff. We ordered a half bottle of the Gewürztraminer which was the second cheapest on the list, but the quality was very impressive. If that's anything to go by I suspect the rest of the wine list is very good indeed. We ate from the set lunch menu which is extremely reasonably priced and the standard of the food was enough to have us planning a visit in the near future for the full A la Carte experience. Can't wait! Great Service, Great Food, Great Wine. Go here as soon as you can before the secret gets out!

What?? A tasty 3 course meal for a tenner?? How did I not know about this before?…read more I am a little confused by Kim Marie's review as our experience here last night was lovely - nothing like frozen food from Iceland! I tried the grilled goats cheese, the delicious coq au vin and polished it all off with some chocolate mousse. You need to order a drink separately from the £9.95 menu, but the house wine was under £11. Seriously - this place is "cheap like a budgie"! You need to order extra veggies or salad to go with the main course, but even after doing so, my dinner cost about £15. I wouldn't call it fine dining, but it really was tasty, and at that amazing price, je reviendrai. The staff all had sexy French accents and although they weren't particularly attentive it all seems to be part of the charme de la française. Ah oui. Innit.
