Côte Richmond

It was a really disappointing meal. Over £50 a head - the starters were good, but the main courses were awful. The two steaks were cooked medium rare, but they were tough and not rested before serving - the grill chef used to be the selling point of Cote so I'm amazed this was screwed up. My lobster was greasy and felt like it had been microwaved. The fourth person had bream or bass and he didn't detail but wasn't impressed. The deserts were OK but nothing special. It's not the restaurant's fault but the place felt soulless and I'd prefer to be able to chat to the staff but I can't hear them with those visors on. I'm afraid if you want me to come and eat out again you're going to have to get back to 'normal'.

We enjoyed our lunch yesterday at Cote, the food was excellent, the service satisfactory & the ambiance was enjoyable

Good food but miss the special menu where you could have a starter and main course for a very reasonable price before 7.00pm! I think there were two price options? Please bring that back! Very good and professional waiter.... nothing was too much trouble and the meeter greeter Was so friendly as always! Love coming here to Cote in Richmond! Thank you

Had a great evening - lovely food and atmosphere the

A bit noisy in the restaurant and service was made in a rush. The food was good but I would expect handcut chips instead of frozen with my steak.

It’s great to be back! Love the social distancing measures as tables aren’t crammed together.

Always very good food. Service was excellent we have been to cote restaurants before and always have a wonderful meal.

Great food, great service and felt very safe! Always enjoy coming to côte

We had a wonderful time and were treated with kindness and generosity by the staff and manager. Cote Richmond has never let us down, and was a wonderful step out of lockdown, thank you very much.

Everything really clean and socially distanced but still convivial. Great to be in the restaurant again.

Consistently good food and service, and continues to work well with social distancing.

Friendly staff and delicious food! And the bloody Mary was nice and strong 😀

Not your best breakfast. Quality of food and service has deteriorated. Coffee wasn’t drinkable, smoked salmon didn’t come with lemon, toast didn’t taste fresh. Not your best effort, which is a shame as we used to love your breakfasts.

We enjoyed great food, a warm but bustling atmosphere and excellent service.

Fantastic service as always! Great food and buzzing atmosphere! Love this place!

A very special experience in these constrained times. We felt safe and secure, valued and encouraged. The food was first class, the ambience great -all-in-all an eminently repeatable excursion! Thank you

A Lovely experience, the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Good service and Excellent food as always. Thank you very much.

Attentive and friendly staff with great food. Good atmosphere and attention to social distancing

Lovely evening. Excellent food and wine - Fougasse is always good and my Fillet Steak was excellent. My wife had the Goats Cheese starter which she really enjoyed. We sat upstairs and it wasn’t too busy. The maitre d and serving staff were attentive and pleasant. We used the Eat Out to Help Out scheme which has been a really good way of helping people get back out into restaurants during this very difficult 5 months.

Very enjoyable evening good to be back at Côtes good service good food but don’t like restricted menu and having been to a few restaurants with 50% off dining Côtes tends to be more expensive than the rest of them because their dishes are expensive due to their restricted menu I would never pay that much normally for three people with NO discount so there’s something wrong somewhere

Great food & friendly service in Richmond this evening. Felt safe with social distancing & tables cleaned in between use. Steak followed by creme caramel - perfect!

Very happy to be back, makes life feel almost normal. Your salade niçoise as good as ever. I have to say fewer tables makes for a pleasanter dining experience and helps reduce the noise too. During lockdown we enjoyed your home delivery to keep spirits up, an excellent service. Thank you.

Very well organised regarding social distancing etc and efficient service

Lovely staff from the beginning, especially Monika who served us, she was very helpful polite and attentive. The service was excellent because waiting time was minimal. Lastly the food was very yummy food! We loved the calamari starter and prawn starter. Very tasteful food.

Very busy great atmosphere excellent service by all staff will definitely be back

Brilliant food great atmosphere reasonable priced. Definitely a restaurant not to be missed

The restaurant felt very safe with all staff wearing visors and plenty of hand sanitiser. There was a mix up with our starters as 2 garlic breads were ordered but only 1 was available and so staff very kindly gave us 3 free bread baskets to make up for this error. The good was exceptional and so tasty - we had 3 courses each. Our puddings order wasn’t put through by mistake and so staff very kindly took all the puddings off our final bill. They reassured us and apologised 3 times for the mix up which was so kind. We hadn’t even really noticed that the puddings were late. We all received £10 off our meal due to the Eat Out to Help Out scheme as well as the puddings being taken off the bill and so it was an exceptionally cheap meal. The food was excellent - each of us was very impressed. It was very noisy in the restaurant but it was fully booked so that was too be expected. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Ciro was a great waiter and my kids loved it so much almost as much as me who had happy entertained and eating kids whilst I enjoyed my lovely steak!

I went to the Teddington Cote on Thursday for a birthday meal with my sone and another birthday meal in Richmond today with a friend. I love the food here and will always choose a Cote if there is one in the town I am visiting. I visited Farnahm last week but missed the opening. Love your chocolate mouse. X

Excellent and varied menu, delicious food, and welcoming helpful staff.

Food and service was excellent, great table spacing, i prefer the sitting upstairs as downstairs appears to be very busy.

Plenty of staff to cope with high demand, buzzy atmosphere (a bit too loud in fact!) and great food as always.

Utterly fabulous as always. The kir royals on the house for our anniversary topped of the meal and our trip!! Marvellous thanks!

Great to be back! Fantastic food, great service and an unbeatable welcome. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

Delicious food, friendly professional staff. Great decor and clean throughout.

First outing arranged for friends to meet up after five months' solitary confinement - great lunch + happy group of friends post-lunch! Food was wonderful. Staff service was impeccable. Will definitely come again!

We are big fans of Cote and glad a few are open (Barnes next?). We sat in Givanni’s section and he was very good. Great bottle of wine, crab and Bretton Tomato starters were delicious, and the sirloins were cooked to perfection. Hats off the the Chef and Richmond team, once again you made a great night and I had an amazing birthday dinner. We will of course be back!

Wonderful time! Food amazing and felt very safe, will be back soon

As usual Côte never fails its customers! Our first time returning to the Richmond branch since lockdown and it was perfect! What we loved mostly about the Côte is the consistency. As a customer this is so important, whenever we went to this chain in UK is always great and never a disappointment. Just shows that with commitment, training and vision everything is achievable. Well done team and good luck with the reopening!!

Felt safe Tables far apart Attentive staff Welcome back to Richmond Many thanks

Despite the corono regime with a virtuallybempty restaurant food and service were as usual.

Delicious food, friendly staff, good atmosphere and reasonably priced. Great that they were doing the Dine In, Help Out scheme.

Lovely evening and great service by the staff, very accommodating, considering I got my booking time wrong!

Thoughtful, caring staff. Tables very well placed, and I did not feel in any way anxious about eating out. Toilets were spotless and having sanitizer outside entrance so one could use on entering and exiting, a great idea. Felt reassured having the staff in visors, and they were very welcoming.

Hi, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal today. The food was well cooked and to my liking. My Nephew also enjoyed his meal. We want to give our compliments to The Chef. Thanks.

We enjoyed our experience at Cote Richmond today, food & service were great as usual

Staff were great, atmosphere was good. I would suggest educate your people more on the wines you offer

I am extremely grateful to all your staff at the Richmond branch. We were celebrating our friend getting engaged and they welcomed and embraced the celebrations, allowing us balloons and confetti on the table and also offering us a drink on the house to toast her news. Great service, so friendly and overall a really lovely evening. So glad we picked there to celebrate!

Steak Frites and Creme Caramel, the best I know. So nice to be back and the governement paid £20 towards it. One of my favourite eateries anywhere and has been sorely missed. Welcome back. See you again soon.
