Excellent in every way. One small comment: my steak, ordered rare was actually medium well done. However, I was provided with coffee on the house which I thought was an adequate gesture. I was also told when I reported the error that I could return the steak if I wished, but since I was more than half way through my meal, I declined to do so. I shall certainly return, and I especially commend the serving staff.

We had a very efficient (if not rather aggressive!) waitress serving us this evening. Her manner made us feel like we were dining in a communist restaurant where we WOULD be grateful, whether we liked it or not. I had a Calimari - which was tasty, but the raw garlic in the homemade sauce to accompany it means that I’ll be warding off vampires for the next 20yrs... I won’t be ordering that again! My husband ordered the Crottin. Urgh, it tasted of mix of vomit and smelly, sweaty feet. He left most of it. We daren’t inform our waitress for fear of being led outside onto the pavement and thrashed in front of the other diners as punishment. We love Cote and regularly visit, but this experience left us feeling a bit cold and £60 lighter.

Lovely restaurant with friendly helpful staff. The booking was made for 6 couples, which included 3 birthday girls. We were given a complimentary drink, which was a great welcome. Our one complaint was that one of the birthday girls had goats cheese with roast vegetables - this was not eaten as it was not your usual standard, vegetables were too large and not cooked properly and the goats cheese was not enjoyable. I did mention to one of the waiters that we were not happy with that particular meal. Other 5 meals were delicious and up to your normal standard.

A bit rushed, some dishes were dried up- left under a heat lamp? The waiter was excellent but the 12.5% service charge is a bit outrageous. It’s discretionary but it’s automatically added to the bill. We asked to have it reduced, as it was £16 for an average meal that was over in an hour!

The United Kingdom is very fortunate to have this chain of restaurants. Their particular formula is just right and delivers delicious quality food at a reasonable price and by staff in a friendly professional way, something that is hard to find outside of London. I have visited many different branches and having a centralised menu, you are never disappionted. Each branch has a delightful atmosphere so congratulations must go to the policy makers and the well trained staff who deliver it. I have visited other well known chains where there is style over substance, but Cote always delivers quality and good value. Congratulations.

Lovely food. Great ambiance. Attentive waiter. Free bottle of wine. The only downside is the 12.5% gratuity, which is automatically added to the bill. However, will definitely come again. My new favourite restaurant....I love Cote brasserie.

This was our first visit so we qualified for a complimentary bottle of wine. Both starters were delicious and the fish parmentier main course also hit the spot. I found the swordfish sauce too salty but the actual meat excellent. The wine list needs a house wine around £ 16.00 I will return.

I think that's the best restaurant in Bournemouth! The food quality is on 5*. The prices are fab too! The staff is really friendly and helpful. After placing an order food is coming literally in 10min! Which is absolutely amazing! Ps. I couldn't believed how clean is cutlery and all glass! That's not happening in many restaurants. So as well big plus from me 😊

Very good food and service as always. I enjoyed my rather unusual starter of bacon and egg salad and my wife enjoyed her endive salad. Unfortunately the French cottage pie, which I would have chosen, was not available so I had the roast cod which was excellent. My wife had the chicken escalope which was very tasty.

Hi, we had a lovely meal. We waited a while to get a drinks order and food. My steak but was medium not rare but we had waited a long time so did not complain. After also waiting a long time for server we then had about 6 people ask if we were enjoying whilst eating. so one extreme to the order. but over all a lovely meal and good value for money.

Really poor experience. I use Cote Brassiere on a regular basis and this was an appalling experience. I booked a table for 4 for a birthday treat for my husband on a Sunday evening. Most of the food we requested was not available. Our starter was of very poor quality and when we received our main meals they were cold. We sent back the 2 fish dishes and on receiving the dishes again, my dish had no potatoes. It was a fiasco from start to finish and completely ruined the treat and sadly the manager was very abrupt and not apologetic about the poor service and poor quality of food. I would not recommend this Bournemouth Cote Brassiere restaurant

I can go to any pub chain and spend a tenner and enjoy instant free wifi , I visit branches in Bristol and Bournemouth and when I point the terms of use out to my friends they are appalled , so to use the wifi it has been known a few people put in rubbish anyway .I don't see why I spend £65 with Cote and provide all my personal details so you can sell my data ? I get enough junk emails without generating more. Great food but you devalue the brand doing this. Keith Perry

Overall a very pleasant experience , a light bright and airy dining room , well spaced out , yet enough to be convivial. Prices are mid range , service excellent , although I found the helpings a little on the small side. There is a well advertised 12.5 % non obligatory service charge , which I am not a big fan of , as the great British public generally would rather shy away from the potential uncomfortable feeling that non willingness to pay can bring ,but from my experience the waiter made sure that there was no way that I could refuse , as we were well looked after . I booked on line and mentioned that we were eating out as a birthday treat . We were greeted with 5 complimentary drinks which was a nice touch.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Bournemouth. We sat in the window upstairs which had a lovely view of the edge of the park. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the wine recommendation was spot on. The food was lovely and there was no pressure to hurry at all. We would definitely return.
