Overall the experience was Good, but the staff still have a way to go compared other Cotes. However this a relatively recent addition to the chain and I am sure the service will soon be up to standard.

Very good food and service. We were given a lovely table in the window area and chose from the Prestige menu at £13.95 for two courses. Both the pork belly and rib eye steaks we chose were delicious, and the Cote du Rhone was very good too. I have been to several Cote restaurants and have always found them to be of a very high standard, at very reasonable prices.

Always a pleasure to eat at Cote and our latest experience came up to expectations. Good food and service - slick and friendly. Our meals consisted of calamari and a Breton tomato platter with soft cheese (delicious) and then one order of steak and frites and another of baked hake in a lovely provencal sauce. And a nice bottle of rosé wine... couldn't be happier.

An enjoyable evening. Very busy but we were seated and orders taken with no waiting. Unfortunately two of us ordered chicken for mains and they had run out. Three people had pork belly which although tasty was over cooked and somewhat dry.. the wine chosen was good and the staff were,as ever at Cote, delightful.

We have a holiday flat in Bournemouth where we spend approx 40 % of the year. This was our third visit to Cote Brasserie Bournemouth. On each occasion we have been entertaining family or friends. Cote Brasserie Bournemouth has proved to be a reliable venue. Excellent staff - very tasty meal in good environment. This time upstairs window table requested and provided. Will definitely return.

Service slow we waited an hour after arrival for our main course - we did have a starter in that time though. Unfortunately there was no dressing on the salad as the waitress told us there should have been when she removed the plates and the sourdough toast was almost inedible and cold. It was impossible to catch anyone's attention while we were eating it to rectify this. Our impression was that there were not enough staff in the dining area or in the kitchen for the number of customers. It is a pity that this was the second time we have not been able to sit in our preferred area upstairs as they only seem to open it if they think they are going to be extremely busy. Slightly disappointing as we are Cote fans.

We were greeted by a lovely member of the staff who looked after us extremely well throughout. He explained the menu options available, as we were an early table so had a vast choice of menu's from which to select. The four of us were very happy with our food choices and the Provence Rose wine was delicious. We can certainly recommend this restaurant and the fact it is open all day has to be a great bonus.

Lovely, airy and cool restaurant. Great service. Food is as expected, cooked well, rustic French. It was our wedding anniversary and we just mentioned it in passing to the waitress amongst other things in a general chat. Late on in the meal, they approached us with a card and box of chocolates! Nice touch.
