Had the set menu for New Years eve but mussels were unavailable and were replaced by Calamari which were very overcooked. The chocolate fondant was very disappinting as this was also overcooked and dry.

We had not been to a cotes brasserie before & will most definitely be visiting again. The staff were all so welcoming, friendly & helpful. I have coeliac disease & was so pleased to see the extensive gluten free menu you had. The lady serving us even came up with a Christmas menu highlighting the gluten free options I could have & other dishes you could make exchanging with gf options, which was so lovely. I have trouble eating out & somtimes feel a pain asking about how things are cooked as have to make sure I have no gluten. I saw your menu was approved by coeliac uk & your staff made me feel like nothing was too much trouble which was so lovely. They made it such a lovely experience, the food was amazing & really good prices. I will be reccomending to friends.

When I booked the table I was asked if it was a special occasion which it was (my daughter’s 20th) yet that went unrecognised in the restaurant today. Compared with visits to other Cote Restaurants this was disappointing.

Five of us went for a lovely lunch to celebrate my birthday. We were glad to be sitting downstairs where it was relatively quiet so we could hear each other speak; when we went upstairs to use the toilets there were lots of noisy parties celebrating an early Christmas. We started with complimentary Kir Royals and had a very enjoyable meal. I would certainly recommend Côte Bournemouth to anybody thinking of going.

Had lunch at busy time of day however the service was very good . We were offered three different menus to choose from - the Christmas set menu, the lunch set menu and the a la carte. After choosing the food arrived in a reasonable time. Food, as always in Cote restaurants, was very good. Will definately come here again!

The only reason I didn't give a 6 is because of the slower than usual service. However, it was an extremely busy pre-Christmas lunchtime and our waitress kept us informed. The food was perfect, as usual, and excellent value for money.

The food and service was excellent but what I hate is being told when you get the bill to pay a tip. For three people I thought is a tip is down to the individual to give. And for three people it's out of order

Been to the Brighton one many times. First time at this one. Loved it, exactly what it’s supposed to be- pure French class. Wine ain’t cheap. £8+ for 250ml glass, I’m not a big drinker but could have easily had another glass with my top class steak, the price made me stick to water. Will be back for more...
