We has a great meal... especially as we arrived late due to traffic and need to be at the theatre within an hour and a half. They also were able to adapt my dish due to being vegan. 🙌👍🏻

As usual we had a warm welcome and the offer of any free table to choose where to sit. The food was delicious and good value for money. We like the set menu as that changes monthly and therefore uses the seasons to give variety of flavours and textures. The staff are always friendly, helpful and polite and the service very good.

Food excellent as always. Service a little slow mid afternoon. However as always an enjoyable and reliable venue for a reasonably priced quality meal. Still the best creme caramel ever and please bring back the 'Escalope de Veau'.

Went there to celebrate my boyfriend’s 30th birthday and got complimentary Prosecco on arrival (very nice touch). I also had very strict dietary requirements and they adapted the dish for me. Overall, food was delicious and service was good.

The personnel are charming but the food seems to be getting progressively worse. Now a pastiche of what the chain used to be and of French cooking

Usually ok. But this week, early evening, few diners. 6 of us. Only 4 main courses arrived. Number 5 was late and cold, so it was returned. 4 of us finished our main courses before our guests 5 and 6 received their meals. Manager was very apologetic and we received a discount. But, as the four of us had finished our mains we ordered another bottle of wine while we awaited our friends main meals. Errors were that the waiter failed to record the order and the cook also failed to heat one of the meals. (Poor staff training, no wonder the Cote group is seriously making a loss this year).

Excellent! La Cote at Bournemouth is the 7th La Cote we've been too. They are all excellent places to eat. In particular, they are reliable places to dine if you don't know restaurants in a town.

Food standard very high as usual with Cote except that risotto was under seasoned. Unusually the restaurant was quiet - too much competition around? Staff were friendly but quite difficult to make contact with sometimes. I still think 12.5% service charge built in - even though optional, is an imposition.

Another great night great service and lovely food . If I was to be honest the only slight disappointment was that despite me informing the restaurant it was to celebrate my dads 72nd birthday prior to our visit they never mentioned it or gave him a drink on the house.

First time at this restaurant. We arrived for an early dinner slot and it was quiet but the atmosphere quickly improved -there was quite a buzz about the place. The food was good, hot and tasty and the service was friendly.
