Lovely food especially the veal but couldn't believe it came unadorned and was then charged £3.50 plus the irritating compulsory 12. 5% service charge for a few measly green beans. Don't be so greedy or you'll lose your faithful customers. I live in France and your prices are outrageous.

We have visited many Cotes restaurants and always find the food to be of an excellent standard. For me the thing that makes the difference is the staff and our server in Bournemouth really made the difference.

Lovely meal , great service as usual. The only irritation, we often get Côte vouchers for birthdays, Christmas etc but don’t really understand why there should be any limit ! Six months seems very mean.

Absolutely lovely lunch and at a very reasonable price. Cote in Bournemouth accommodated our party of ladies at the last minute as our original restaurant would not accept a minor increase in numbers during peak lunch time hours. The food was great and service excellent. We will definitely return. Thank you, an excellent occasion enjoyed by everyone.

We had to wait a long time for our main course and my granddaughters steak was well overdone. She ate half of the steak because she was so hungry by the time it arrived. The staff were very apologetic and did not charge for her glass of wine. Often come to this restaurant and usually have no problem.

Decided to book at the Bournemouth Cote as its so close to the Pavilion where we saw Queen Symphonic. The standard menu was perfect for a pre-show dinner. Soup was generous, chicken & bacon parmentier was tasty and the chocolate pot finished it off well. Good value & service.

I am very impressed on how well Cote Brasserie can cater for severe Gluten allergy (Coeliac) They have a separate menu for Gluten free with a good choice of starters, mains, and sweets. The Gluten free food is marked with a flag and kept separate from the other dishes to minimise cross contamination. The staff are well trained in checking for Gluten allergy, always attentive and good quality tasty food. Well done Cote Brasserie Bournemouth

Really lovely food and good value wine. Service was rushed and we were in and out in an hour and fifteen, for two courses. Our main came before we finished our nibbles which was annoying. I’d rather the meal took a bit longer (it wasn’t full) but it was really great food and the waiting staff were friendly.

You’ve got to love Cote. This is fine dining with no pretensions and prices appropriately reflect the quality of food & excellent menu choices. Intelligent, informed and helpful service and always a civilised atmosphere. It works for both a couple or large group. Hats off to you for a providing a pitch perfect restaurant in every sense.

We were restricted only to the Valentines menu only.... that may have been my fault but I did not realise when I made the booking ... and when we arrived the a la carte menu was on the table so we immediately made our meal choices from the a la carte menu and made the corresponding bottle of wine choice which was brought to us and we began to drink only to find out later that the a la carte menu was not on offer. So.... no problem the wine I’ve chosen will still go well with the chateaux Briande steak on the Valentines menu. So all good. Only to find they had run out of that which was baffling as we were the first evening sitting at 7.15 !! I was then ordered the duck pate which was nice but the toast was cold , and the confit duck which was ok but was a little dry as a dish and could have with some more sauce . However the dessert chocolate fondant was divine so saved the day. Also the service was good .

Staff were pre occupied with other guests . Had to ask to order, it was my partners birthday to which we had stated in our booking. Nothing done . Service was basic. Then staff turned out by us with there bikes to go home. Very unprofessional . Would think twice about going agian and recommend to friends and family. Such a shame

I always love it here. Lovely ambience, great service and good food. My only feedback this time was that the duck breast was a little tasteless and the sauce watery. Other than than that starters were great and husbands steak main superb.

This is the first time I can ever recall having to send both the starter and main course back because of the quality of what was delivered! The Calamares were tough and rubbery and just generally very unpleasant. They said they hadn't been cooked for long enough!! The Onion soup I had instead was good. The Steak Frites was ordered medium rare and came well done. It was replaced with a properly cooked one but it was still fairly gristly. With a bill of £55, one glass of wine one juice, it seemed to me overpriced and far from worth it. One might have expected some reduction of the bill in the circumstances. This is far from the first time the quality of the steak frites has not been good and as a signature dish you would think they would ensure they got it right. I am puzzled as to who is responsible for serving it up like this - the cooks or the waitress who delivers it?? Someone surely could see it wasn't as ordered??
