Our dinner was very good that we decided to go back in the morning for breakfast, so good that we went back again the day after.

Lively restaurant. Good idea to book. Staff attentive but not too intrusive. The food is consistently good. Wish we could have a Cote in Taunton. Would visit more frequently
