I arrived about twenty minutes ahead of schedule (I'd planned to walk from my hotel, but given the appalling weather, I got a taxi), but was warmly greeted and swiftly seated. My host escorted me to my table and handed me the menu. I had read that there was a set menu on offer, but was not permitted to have this as it was meant for hotel guests only. The menu I was given covered all bases and wasn't exorbitantly priced. My meal was as follows: Starter Fritto Mistro A selection of seafood in a light batter, with courgette slices, also in batter. Served with garlic mayonnaise and a sweet chilli dipping sauces. Main Course Calves Liver, Bacon and Mashed Potato Liver was served well done or pink (I chose the latter), with bacon and mashed potato. I opted for a side dish of wilted spinach. Desert Lemon sponge with winter fruit and served with whipped cream Drinks Diet coke A carafe of water was served at the table. My meal was very pleasant indeed. The starter was fresh, tasty and very well presented. The batter was light and did not overpower the dish. The two dipping sauces were an excellent accompaniment. The main course was very tasty and cooked to perfection, with a very pleasant ju. The mashed potato was light and fluffy (exactly as I like it) and my wilted spinach (a very decent sized portion) rounded off the dish very nicely indeed. My desert was lovely, light and very pleasant indeed. Some may say it was a little too sweet, but for me it was perfect. We all like different things. The ambience of the restaurant was pleasant enough. I'm not a fan of open ceilings that show air conditioning ducts, but each to their own. It certainly didn't detract from the meal. There was a decent amount of background music, which was enjoyable. As I dined alone, I brought a magazine to read and didn't feel out of place. Service was decent enough from a range of people. Nick was my main server. Whilst pleasant enough, wasn't really communicative, but that was possibly as he was busy. My final bill came to £38.50 as it included 10% service. I'm personally not a fan of having this included, but as it happens, the service I received overall deserved the charge. I'd recommend this place as food is decent enough, but prices are on the high side. Would I return again? Whilst it wouldn't be on my "must go to list", I'd return if I was in the area. Many congratulations to the kitchen staff who made my meal very enjoyable. A special mention to James, who I'd spoken to earlier in the evening on the phone. A very friendly, professional member of the team.

Malmaison is a chain, a hotel, a restaurant with a nice waterfront view, and a little isolated from…read moreother restaurants, all of which bodes ill for the food; the restaurant met expectations on this score. Remember the last time you felt ripped off at a restaurant? Add £2 or £3 to that and you've got Malmaison. We each ordered a burger with chips, I had two pints of pale ale, and we shared a dessert cocktail. We ordered our burgers medium rare; they came well done (the girlfriend's was especially overcooked) and bland, though the chips were something of a saving grace. These average-at-best burgers would have been poor value for £10 apiece; £16 is highway robbery. Likewise for the "pints," which I ordered without seeing a price on the menu, and which came in at £4 each for two 2/3 pints. The cocktail wasn't cheap by any means, but left a much better impression; their excellent mixed drinks menu is the only thing worth revisiting. Our servers were friendly but not terribly helpful. The host seemed new and took a long time to take our drink order, and the server was unapologetic when my partner gave her the lowdown on her dry, overcooked food. Regardless of how happy you are with the food or service, however, a 10% service fee is added to your bill at the end. In retrospect I see this is written in fine print at the bottom of the menu, but it seemed insulting at the time. Evidently they do not expect repeat customers. While this is far from the worst dinner we've had, it is certainly our worst meal at this price point. By this reckoning Malmaison Brasserie deserves a "1," except that Malbar next door offers a pleasant, relaxing ambiance to pair well with their cocktails, and perhaps make the overpriced, mediocre food go down a little easier (along with memories thereof). When city centre venues have long degenerated into their weekly drunken, ear-splitting, chaotic mess, Malbar is a solid choice for a late beverage at a conversational volume. If you absolutely must eat nearby, even hotel patrons would do well to walk seven minutes north to Bacchus Taverna or fifteen minutes east to Delifonseca if they want a nice dinner and have the time to spare; but a nightcap or two at the hotel afterward would suit.

For me (with hearing issues) there is not enough soft furnishings to soak up some of the sound, so in the end I removed my hearing aids. There wasn't any loud misic it was just general restaurant chatter. Before I booked I checked out the menu, and is very much in the style of Bistrot Pierre. Bistrot Pierre was founded in 1994, and the COTE series of restaurants was founded in 2007. However, the latter have more sites. They automatically add 12.5% to the bill. I'm happy to pay this if confirmed by the staff that they actually do get the money. Nevertheless, I'd prefer to decide upon my contribution. Before I start about the choices, it was an interesting observation subsequently checking the bill to see that my 11 yo chose the most expensive items that appeared on the bill. Also, is it waiter for all genders these days? Has this hit the languages that have masculine and feminine for objects, and people? I'm going to distinguish between the two by Male Waiter (MW) and Female Waiter (FW).

We got: Me - Medium Daughter - Blue Son - Rare They were delivered from the kitchen by two MWs. The FW offered me a free drink (I declined), as they couldn't un-cook my steak. We all enjoyed the steaks, but they are supposed to be locally reared and aged 30 days. I have had better aged steaks that don't ooze blood..... However, they were tender. There was also errors on a nearby table: First they brought out one plate of Steak Frites, when two was order, and they thought the old ladies wanted to share.... Not so.... They were told the additional one would take 7 minutes. Quite rightly they asked for the one available to be taken back and both brought to the table at the same time. When their bill arrived, it had 3 steak frites, instead of 2..... I am not quite sure why these mistakes happen: our steaks, and the ladies' steak frites.... Would I return to Cote Brasserie - YES.

It was around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon, however it did fill up quite well before I left. The restaurant itself is very tastefully furnished, it kind of has a feel of being an upmarket Cafe Rouge. I ordered from the Prestige set menu which I considered excellent value for the three courses I had. I ordered duck pâté for my starter, Seabass for main and Apple & Blackberry crumble for dessert. Service was not super-fast, though this did give me the feeling that my food was being cooked fresh. I could not fault any of it, everything was delicious. As far drinks go, they have a bit of an odd selection and no beers on draft. I drank a bottle of Meteor beer, which was very pleasant. Great value for money, delicious food, pleasant surroundings, so why not 5 stars? Just because although the restaurant was fairly quiet, I was served by at least 4 different wait staff- I'm not a fan of this, I prefer the continuity of having the same waiter from start to finish. However, will I go back? Definitely!!

Sometimes this French style place is somewhere you want to shout about, other times it's somewhere you want to shout AT. What keeps me coming back is the fact that when it's good, it's really good. The atmosphere is great, very ambient, and the menu always looks very classy but doesn't always live up to its description. The one quality that's never varied however is that of the moules marinier, mussels which are surely to die for. Or at least, make a special journey for. Sometimes accompaniments can be a little undercooked, and depending on your mood the jovial, jokey and bantering staff can either be the perfect tonic or your worst enemy. It's not the most efficient of service but most of the times I've stopped by I've felt well looked after. Despite its troubled past (problems with chefs scarpering with a great deal of moolah), Auberge does come up trumps when it wants to. A frequently changing menu keeps things really fresh, and the staff do have a lot of advice to offer about the menu. While the wine list can be a little pricey you can often get special offers if you look in the right places, so you might be able to get your money's worth. All in all a bit of a Gemini of a restaurant, but can be worth the risk...
