Côté Lounge — Restaurant in Nice

Went there on a not so busy night, they have outside seating available for customers with a few tables and you can enjoy the nice ambiance if the summertime temperature allows, my experience in their entrance wasn't as expected, I went there without reservation and it took a while for them to realize our presence and even afterwards, they didn't ask us anything until we approached them, gave Us a nice table with chairs arranged in a way that you could see the street, it was a nice view and you can enjoy the streets of Nice and people moving if you're interested. For starters I ordered the snails (Escargots) and as main dish, a truffle pizza and the lobster pasta. They also asked about drinks in the beginning and brought our drinks relatively fast (in contrast to other restaurants I went in Nice, they didn't have tap water available but I suppose it was fine hence their level of fine dining experience?) After a reasonable amount of time, snails came and they were delicious, had a real nice taste of Parsley and butter, beautifully served on some salt, they served more butter on the side so you could enjoy its taste even more, it's not much, so don't expect it to fill you up. After a long wait, our dinner came and it looked really good, pasta with the lobster was not cleaned but it was de-shelled and sliced on top, with a tomatoe and cream based sauce that you could clearly taste the garlic and a bit of Parsley in it. It was served with a small portion of parmesan, so you could add it to it. Lobster tasted completely normal, it's not anything special and you could even say that it was tasteless, the pasta itself was good, nothing to complain, it reminded me of a dish my grandmother made since it had so much of a garlic taste (if you don't like garlic, it's not for you) it was perfectly spiced and it was just enough (really enjoyed that), overall was a decent lobster experience, nothing to complain but it wasn't the best thing I've ever had. Pizza also came in already cut into pieces and designed with truffles thinly sliced on top, its crust was not crispy in my mind and it tasted plain and simple, a bit oily for my taste but it tasted in a way that complimented the truffle taste and you could enjoy it. The staff were not as friendly as expected, not so attentive and caring, we definitely had to look for one. They were not rude or anything but wasn't behaving as expected, I had far better experience in restaurants much cheaper. Overall a nice experience, definitely not as a true fine dining experience but good for a night in Nice, enjoying the city and its vibe (it provides a mich better experience in compared to the restaurants beside it in Nice but it still needs work to be an actual fine Dining experience specially with costs that they demand for their services and the behavior...

Excellent service, very high quality food and nice, classy, hip atmosphere. I spent a week in Nice and it was nice to have a restaurant that didn't have a bloated menu that consisted of french fries, pizza and pasta. Their menu is kept small and seasonal. Portion sizes are perfect and the cocktails were delicious. It's a bit pricey but certainly worth the money. I went there several times in the 9 days I was in Nice. If I am in Nice again, I would make a B-line for this place. If I had to say something negative, I would say the desserts are so-so. As a result, my last night in France I chose not to order dessert. But the waiters/service are so friendly and kind that instead they brought me a jar of gummy bears and gummy worms and said "no one leaves here without dessert!"...

I had an absolutely delightful dining experience! The service was incredibly attentive, making me feel truly valued as a guest.

One of the highlights was watching the fresh guacamole being skillfully prepared right in front of me; it was not only a visual treat but also incredibly tasty. The wine suggestion was spot-on and complemented the meal beautifully.

The food itself was a burst of flavors – each dish was delicious and clearly crafted with care. And the sharing portion of dessert was a delightful surprise, rounding off the meal on a sweet note.

I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience with top-notch service and scrumptious food, this is the...
