We had a very nice family lunch using the two fixed price menus. Luckily the main and dessert combination worked between the four of us. It was good service and excellent food.

As usual we enjoyed our experience at Cote Brasserie, Bournemouth. The food was very good and the service was excellent. Even a complaint was apologised for immediately and dealt with efficiently.

A quiet Sunday night but the usual reliable menu plus some specials. Filet steak perfectly cooked and the half chicken from the set menu was good too. Service up to the usual good standard.

Made a spur of the moment reservation for breakfast at Cote Bournemouth on Boxing day - a decision which was fully justified. Thoroughly enjoyed the "French" cooked breakfast, whilst my Wife also found the Brown Toast and Pain au Raisins most agreeable.

The quality of service and general ambience was above average which is not what I can attribute to the food. My main course from the set menu was an 8 ounce ribeye steak, (2.50 extra) was served with cress, garlic and herb butter and fries which resemble those served in most fast food outlets. The steak m/r was poor quality and contained a lot of fat. It was served on a cold plate so was also soon cold and largely inedible. My partners dish of Fish Parmentier was bland and lacking flavour. Generally disappointing I was expecting better!

Went for breakfast, this was my thirdtime in about six weeks. Definitely worth the visit if you want to upgrade your breakfast experience. Food is the same standard as dinner, freshly cooked and quality ingredients. Breakfast cocktails also available as an extra treat!

A rushed meal from the start. The starter came out before the ‘amuse bouche’ was finished and it continued in that vein. Such a shame as the food was lovely.

We had an early dinner and all four of us had an excellent meal and excellent service. For two of our party it was the first time they had been to a Cote Brasserie, but not the last I’m sure. Thank you.

First time at this Cote in Bournemouth. Not keen on the layout, particularly ground floor. We nearly left when 'welcomed' by an unsmiling, miserable looking front of house manager. Our waitress though was lovely, friendly, smiling, and efficient. Starter endive, roquefort and walnut salad, was excellent. Ribeye steak good but £2 extra not justified. No steak frites or parmentier on the menu. Chocolate pot as good as ever. There is a lot of good competition out there!

Cote rarely fails to impress. A very relaxed and enjoyable late lunch at their Bournemouth branch with the customary friendly but efficient service. A tip for those new to the Bournemouth branch - ask for a table upstairs for a much quieter environment.

Service was excellent and staff friendly. However my mussels were definitely over cooked. I did mention this to the waiter but I suspect the message didn’t get back to the kitchen and they remained on the bill. The sea bass was small and we weren’t convinced that the steak was the weight it should have been (or maybe it shrunk in cooking)? All a bit expensive for what it was.

All 4 members of our party felt the food was well presented, cooked and tasted good. Had 2 courses and felt well looked after by staff. You might be a chain but your food and staff are consistently good. Keep it up. We keep coming back to several of your branches. We are never disappointed!

We went to Cote in Bournemouth to celebrate my father-in-law’s 93rd birthday. The food (3 courses) was delicious in every case. The service was, as usual, friendly and helpful, but.....it did seem VERY slow. We were in the restaurant for nearly 2 1/2 hours, with quite long delays between courses. On several occasions I had to chivvy, which is not our usual experience with Cote restaurants. We decided to forget coffee, which was a shame.

As always - the perfect lunch spot. Busy on Monday without being noisy. The staff are very friendly and efficient, even remembering I asked for my French beans not to be al dente. The fish parmentier seems to have improved, now with huge prawns and a very creamy sauce. My friend loves the steak frites and we both ended with their luscious creme caramel. We were celebrating a birthday but were not rushed when we lingered over several glasses of wine! Perfect.

The meal on the menu was offered 'with green beans'. The meal that turned up included 4 green beans. When queried with the waiter, the answer was that the beans were a garnish only! No apology or interest shown in the situation. Strange how the meat was presented on the beans, usually that implies a vegetable not a garnish! Poor value for money and ultimately not good service, won't rush to be going back!

Polite staff. Food very nice. Good value for money. Why is there no toilet for people with disabilities on the ground floor? We understood this to be law.
