La Cote Et L'arete - Toulouse

The place is well known for its matured beef, which is excellent! When they have it. I went there with a table of 7 on a Saturday night, and none was left as the only cut the matured beef on Mondays...We made a reservation for 9:30pm as they stop serving at 10:30pm. We arrived 5-10 min late as a couple members of the party was trying to park, but there was no problem there. The girl that served us was nice and compressive. As there were no matured beef, 4 of us turned to the today special burger, mushroom sauce and cheese. When they arrived, one of them (mine) was different, but the waiter that delivered it didn't tell me anything. After mumbling a bit and asked the waiter why is mine with no cheese while all others were with. So he sent it back to the kitchen were they added a single slide of a different cheese on top of my burger and placed it under a heater to make it melt. Turning my rare steaks into medium/well-done steaks. That was totally unprofessional and not what to expect from that place. I refused to eat the burger and as a commercial gesture they didn't make pay for it. Plus the offered me a digestive drink, although I had only a few fries to digest. And to complete the poor quality of the kitchen that day, the 2 plates of salmon ordered at my table was served warmish/cold and had to be warmed up again. That was really a bad night but for having been there before I know this place is better than that. I just hope that cook gets a wake up call or gets out of the kitchen.

The food was good, but the staff wasn't nice with us. The price is a little bit high for what we ate.

Visited last night with a few girlfriends, the staff were extremely rude. So rude that we actually walked out. Would not recommend.

Quick pleasant efficient for lunch good choices on menu Helpful staff, Light and airey room plenty of space to eat in comfort. Salads fresh meat cooked to our choice

I went in this restaurant Saturday night with my girlfriend and the view of the fire in front was nice and cozy. The service was good .. but just a little bit disappointed about the French fries .. cold as cold was the sauce. Anyway prize and meal are appropriate.
