We received attentive and helpful service. Food was delicious, although the “medium” steak was more like “well done”. Apart from that, everything else was really good. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. They also have a lovely outside seating area overlooking the river but it was a bit too hot for us to sit out on this occasion."

3. Côte Brasserie - Shrewsbury
Given a score of 4.4 out of 67 reviews. Top review: "Went for my partners birthday meal and it was amazing! Lily the waitress was fantastic and made the night go smoothly! She apologised for the food taking long to come out even though it wasn’t too much of a wait and we didn’t mind that at all as we were happy with the drinks and the overall atmosphere so she decided to take 2 of our drinks off the bill as an apology which we were very grateful for and didn’t expect them too! The food arrived and was delicious, even though we couldn’t finish it all! Definitely recommend and will come again! Again thank you to Lily and the rest of the staff for being so welcoming and friendly!" Address: 14-16 The Square, Town Centre, Shrewsbury, SY1 1JZ.
