Côte Bluewater

From the moment we entered the restaurant we had a wonderful experience. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout.The food was excellent (with nothing nit available from the menu). The atmosphere was perfect, not too loud but just enough for there to be a constant hum of activity. I must mention our waitress, Julia, who ensured that the evening was just perfect. Extremely knowledgeable in terms of the menu, helpful with suggestions, attentive and a delight to be looked after by.

Perfect from start to finish lovely atmosphere friendly staff great kir royales wonderful peach crumble

The staff are friendly,the service is prompt particularly when they know we are in a rush,the food is always to a good standard and tasty.It really is a winning formula.

Staff were amazing Breakfadt food lovely. Was my sisters 60th & we had a little boy age 2 staff made us feel very welcome. Service excellent

Met an old friend for lunch so much catch up Fabulous restaurant choice good lunch menu attentive but unobtrusive service we chatted for 3 hours did not feel unwelcome and fantastic food now our favourite restaurant

Very pleasant and enjoyable experience Tasty food from a comprehensive and interesting menu , excellent service and the free gin cocktails with the offer went down a treat. We will be back!

Arriving at a fairly crowded restaurant a wee bit earlier than my 7.15pm booking, we were immediately greeted warmly and shown to a pleasant secluded table, as requested. Having checked the extensive menu, we opted for the Chateaubriand to share which, we were advised would take 30 - 35 minutes, which was quite acceptable. Some while later, having ordered drinks, bread and olives to fill the gap we were advised by a very apologetic and charming waitress that, due to a minor contretemps in the kitchen, our order would be delayed by a further 30 minutes. Although hungry, we were in no hurry and willingly accepted the further delay, gratefully accepting another glass of Sauvignon Blanc by way of consolation. Eventually the meal was served, again with profuse apologies from the waitress and it proved to be absolutely delicious and well worth the extended wait. Having finished a really excellent steak, cooked precisely to the level of rarity requested, and its beautifully presented accompaniments, we were both astonished when the bill was presented, together with further abject apologies, to find that the meal had been very heavily discounted and the breads, olives and second drink not charged for. Truly service and customer care beyond measure and I cannot both thank and recommend Cote Brasserie Bluewater highly enough. Needless to say it warranted a tip in addition to the service charge. Mistakes inevitably do happen but our treatment on this occasion was, as ever, exemplary. Thank you again - we will both certainly come back in the near future.

Had a really lovely evening here staff are so friendly and welcoming! The menu was superb lots of choice. There were four of us all had different meals all of us thoroughly enjoyed them. Thank you cotes we will be back.

Having made a lunchtime reservation, it was disappointing to learn upon arrival that an engineer was present in the kitchen fixing a gas leak on the main cooker/grill. Consequently, a number of menu items would not available. We were give the menu to look at with the relevant items crossed out to see if we still wanted to dine there - the staff were extremely apologetic. By chance, the items we had intended to eat, were still available so we sat down and ordered. Having started our starter, the staff advised us that the gas leak had been fixed and the whole menu was available and did we wish to alter our main course choice - which we did not. The food was excellent, despite the issues that the staff were facing upon our arrival.

Very busy Sunday . We had table booked so it wasn’t an issue but clearly t he lovely receptionist was trying her best to make everyone happy and accommodate them . Food was good but in less busy days it is usual better than it was today . Kids meal was disappointing today as chicken breast was tasteless and green bean over cooked and although they only ate the gratin potato none of the waitress asked us what has happened or if they want another thing instead .

Superb food and great service. I would be delighted to recommend friends and family to dine here and they wouldn't be disappointed.

Amazing service. The manager went above and beyond for us. We even had a happy birthday song for my husband's birthday. Everything was fantastic. We will definitely be back before long.

Myself and five friends had a delicious meal with great wine chosen from a good menu..

Very nice atmosphere Food delicious My complimentary drink was lovely Would definitely recommend Friendly staff Been a few times and always pleased with the food and drink, whether it’s for lunch or donner.

We are happy with food and service. We will come back

It's one of our favourite restaurants, and the most favourite branch. We love everything there, the food is always tasty and fresh, good range of starters and main courses for any taste, staff is always friendly, helpful, they know the menu and their job. There's nice outside terrace. Totally child friendly. Can get buzzy at peak times but usually you can get a table no problem.

Amazing attentive service... stands out !! other brands could learn from this market leader. Always consistently brilliant Team Cote should be rewarded in every way Keep soaring ! x

Fantastic Mother's Day breakfast! Really good atmosphere, really good and attentive service made it a memorable experience. Thank you so much Cote we will be back

I think it’s a little bit of France in the heart of a fabulous shopping centre. Food , service and ambiance is always excellent. If you haven’t tried it then please give it a go. Arrive before 7 pm for their daily special menus.

Fantastic evening good food excellent service. Our waitress Julia was friendly helpful and entertaining! Nothing was too much trouble. It was my sisters birthday and we were all made to feel that it was a special evening. Thank you we will be back

Lovely meal, there was a slight mishap with the food due to a lack of communication on both ours and the severs but we were offered a huge discount without having to ask which made us feel very valued as customers! Love cotes will always be back!

having been told there was a waiting time of 75 mins, we then were able to book a table for 30 mins later. Then when we approached the entrance watched people who had just rocked up without a booking get a table straightaway- very frustrating and doesnt make sense. Our waiter was great (tall chap with glasses) although the obnoxious table next to us took offence to him and insisted on having a waitress - not nice people. He was great and very polite to us so I hope nothing came of this. Food was great and value for money as expected at Cote.

We took our daughter and 19-month old granddaughter to lunch today. The staff are excellent - very friendly and professional. My husband and I had the fixed priced lunch menu and our daughter ate off the a la carte - both options were delicious - the food arrived piping hot and well cooked. We couldn't fault anything. They even gave our granddaughter a free ice-cream. Love going there!

Always a pleasure to dine at Cote Bluewater. Delicious food - lovely friendly waiters - great atmosphere - exceptional value for money.

Friendly greeting, good service from waiter Chris and wonderful food and wine as usual. This really is our most favourite restaurant in Bluewater. It never fails to please, no matter what dishes we choose.

It was not clear that you did not get the complimentary martini when you booked on line

The food was freshly made and delicious staff were friendly and it’s great value for money . Would recommend this restaurant for breakfast and lunch . Thanks

Great service and food as always at Cote. Burger well cooked. My friend’s chicken salad felt bottomless. Friendly staff. Busy bustling restaurant makes for a nice atmosphere.

We often have breakfast at Cotes. It is always nicely cooked and presented and always enjoyable.

Won’t be returning in a hurry. Service was very slow and staff were not very attentive. We got served our breakfast and then were forgotten about. We had to ask for our plates to be taken about 45 minutes after finishing, we had to ask for more drinks and we had to ask if we could pay because we sat with the bill for about 20 minutes!

Service good as usual. Food also good maybe could have been slightly hotter.

Table for 5, 3 courses clean plates all round on every course, restaurant clean and pleasant, shame about the noise level, but it was mothering Sunday. With 2 bottles of wine and drinks and inclusive service charge, worked out at £46 per head

Good crew in Bluewater. Everyone of them catering for our needs a credit to your company and would highly recommend. We had specific dietary requirements and they were fantastic

When I online booked there was a special requirements box and not expecting anything to come of it put in there it was my Mum’s Birthday! Well I was very happy with the effort they made to make my Mum’s Birthday breakfast special! We arrived to a banner on the wall, then she was given a drink and a Birthday card and then at the end a dessert with a candle and all the staff gathered round to sing her happy Birthday! It was lovely! And the staff went above and beyond! Thank you so much x

This is a superb branch of the Cote chain. I probably eat here between 30 - 40 times per year and have never had anything less than excellent service and an excellent meal. Only one issue which sours the taste a little is that whenever they have an offer on i.e., last night a complimentary Martini, they still charge you for it despite the fact that when I entered the restaurant "they advised me" I had two complimentary Martini's. This has happened on three of my last four visits.

Excellent evening Dinner for six. Service was excellent. Food was perfect. Cocktails most enjoyable. Wine choice very good

Service was good to start and dropped off as meal went on. Food was good but could have been hotter.

We dined at a very busy time so had to wait a little longer than we would have liked, but once the food arrived it was well worth the wait. The staff were helpful and friendly, attentive but not overebearing.

very good breakfast, with service to match, will be back again,

We have a lovely breakfast meal today at Côte brasserie Bluewater, service was excellent and the staff are very helpful, we will be back very soon.

Absolutely lovely food was great service fantastic had a great night we took our father out for a meal and had a really enjoyable evening thank you

Today was Mother’s Day and I had booked previously to take my wife and daughter out for a meal at 7pm. I received an email yesterday asking me to reconfirm my booking as you expected to be busy. You can imagine my consternation when upon arriving at 7pm we were told that there was no Fillet Steak, no Duck and No Creme Brûlée. This is unacceptable when you knew you would be busy. A restaurant should not run out of any food particularly on a known busy day in the year. Disappointed to say the least.

Our server was very attentive and the food was great.

Excellent food and excellent service. Made to feel very welcome.

Always a good experience I go to cotes bluewater on a regular basis always top service , staff are very helpful and efficient , no complaints

The best service we have had from a restaurant in a long time! Didn’t catch the waiters name but young waiter with dark beard very attentive! Food was as good as the service, will be returning!

Our very favourite place for breakfast. Visited this morning for my partner's birthday and as usual great friendly service. On mention of it being a birthday celebration we both received complimentary mimosas too. Staff always make extra time for our 2 year old daughter too.

Excellent as usual wonderful food and wonderful service Thank you to all at Coty Blue Water x

1.5 sausages in the sausage baguette. Why not 2? Card machine was down, waited 25 minutes to pay with an old strip reader machine. Appreciate this was out of the staff's control though.

Fantastic breakfast & great service everyone enjoyed their trip to Côte as always ..
