Côte Canterbury

I have been in restaurants where items on the menu could not be provided due to popularity of the dish but I have never arrived for a restaurant booking to be turned away because the gas had run out and they could no longer cook food! Disappointing for the 7 of us and not quite expected from Cote Brasserie which has always been very good. Will not be put off going back but for this occasion I have to rate it as very poor.

This was our second visit at cote brasserie and the second time was as good as the first visit. Food was very good. We had the chicken. This restaurant is well worth a visit.

Great place to eat, staff friendly polite and efficient. Food was very good. No pressure to eat up and go. So all in all a great meal.

The food is delicious, the service impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect. There is a great variety of food on the menu and all well priced. The quality of the food puts Cote the best restaurant on the high street.

Very prompt and efficient service,we were greeted and seated straight away. Our waiter was extremely nice and our food was served quickly. We had the crepes which were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend it.

The staff, service and food were all excellent. However the bar seems to be positioned in an awkward place and the tables are quite small. With 2 highchairs and buggies it was a bit squashed.

Excellent service tonight and everybody enjoyed their meals. The table was ok but with 8 people it was tricky for the people at the to get out from the end. As the restaurant was far from full the tables could have been centralised to make an easier exit.

Arrivws to be told we couldn't have cooked breakfast because the gas was off. We ordered coffee anyway. The fire alarm then went off, for about 5 minutes. When the chap came to take our orders, we were told we could order cooked food as the gas was on again. So that was something. When the food arrived, I asked for another coffee and was told the coffee machine was broken. Ten minutes later, a 'complimentary coffee' was served to me - they'd got it working again. However, the seating along the windows is uncomfortable because the sun was burning through the (curtainless and shutterless windows). When the bill came it was for £51 + instead of £33 because they hadn't charged us at the forumla rate. Not an enjoyable experience.

We have frequently eaten at Cote in St Katharine Docks it was really good to find the food was to the same high standard and the staff very attentive and friendly. We would not hesitate in recomending this branch and indeed have taken various friends there

A very welcoming restaurant food well presented hot and tasty. Would definitely go again in the near future.A great place to meet friends and relatives

Had a fabulous meal with very good service but! This is the second time I have booked u sing the loyalty programme, Rewards. Both times I have requested a particular table for lunch and both times now I have arrived to find that people having breakfast were occupying the table. We were given another table but 10 minutes later our table was clear and given to the next couple to walk in. I don't think Rewards means anything if I can't reserve a favourite table. Next time I'll take pot luck or go elsewhere.

Excellent food Charming and helpful Staff. Service efficient and friendly and they were very patient when we spilt water over the menus and then broke a glass

Whitebait were greasy and not "crisp". Sea bream was unavailable. Breaded chicken was very oily. Hachis parmentier contained large bits of inedible gristle. Desserts OK.

The service was good and the food acceptable although I was expecting to claim a free bottle of wine which I was told I would have for booking within a month of my first reservation but was told two meals (of the six in my party) had to come from the a la carte menu. As we all preferred food from the other it seems a bit mean to make this condition especially as I was not informed of this before. It is not the loss of wine I feel upset about but this attitude. Not sure whether I or my five friends will return. There is a lot of competition in Canterbury.

Fantastic breakfast and service as always delicious perfectly cooked and hot. Great value for money full English sausage bacon mushrooms tomatoes two poached eggs and toast along with fresh apple juice and a pot of teaall for £9.95

Good food and service as usual. Complimentary bubbly a treat and a nice touch thanks. Pity the toilets are up so many flights of stairs!

Shocking service and management . Staff have no direction . Tables not laid, croisssabts cold, got order wrong, waited too long and had to ask for drinks several times

Food very good, choice good. Service friendly but very slow had to ask for everything e.g. Drinks, sweet menu, bill, please clear the table etc. Asked for table with wheelchair space but not saved for us.

Staff are excellent, perfect amount of attentiveness mixed with humour. Use this restaurant fairly regularly and the food is always good and well prepared. A buzzy atmosphere and even though part of a chain it doesn't feel like it.

Delightful atmosphere and location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food of good standard plus quality. Extremely busy, so advisable to book, especially on their rewards website.

Nice relaxed Sunday lunchtime meal with family. Attentive service without being pushy although the restaurant was fairly bustling with Bank Holiday diners and a good range of choices on the a la carte. We use this branch quite regularly and will continue to do so.

A great lunch in a great atmosphere. The restaurant was very busy but we were seated and served in a timely manner, not too fast or too slow. We had 2 completely different main courses which were served perfectly. Not easy when one was Lamb shank and the other was Haddock, which my wife said was perfect. A great new restaurant which will do very well in the future. We will be back.

As always cote canterbury was great...we are local so know them well... service always good and very friendly.. have a booking with them for friday this week...again...soo good

Super place, would recommend :-) Free water with meals, lovely staff, super value if you do a Mon-Fri 12-7 set menu offer. Interior very nice, toilets on top floor though!!

Always reliable - tasty food, well cooked. nice drop of Merlot. Polite and efficient service. One of my favourite Canterbury restaurants. All it needs to make it perfect is a car Park! Sadly, not a hope!

Lovely menu so much to choose from! Our whole experience from start to finish was 1st class. Recommend the seafood pasta just yummy. Finished with the creme caramel 😀

Excellent food and quietly courteous service; this is a restaurant to which I shall return. The bourguignon was cooked perfectly, smoky and rich in flavour.

we had a lovely evening good food and great staff. It was excellent that we were upstairs as downstairs was very noisy which we would have found annoying

Always fabulous food, brilliant smiley service, and a great house red! This place never fails to deliver. We always have the set menu which is great value for money.

Excellent meal. We were in a hurry because we were going to the theatre and they did everything they could to speed up the service. Food was excellent and service spot on. Next time we make sure we can take our time!

beautiful food and staff and the deserts amazing i recommended to all the people this lovely restaurant hop so and other people can enjoy there like haw i enjoy

Enjoyed the menu service good.Toilets clean and smart but up 3 flights of stairs.Waiter very helpful about bringing bill as we needed to be at the theatre for 7.30pm

Always a pleasure to eat here. Staff are always welcoming and polite. Service is never too long and food is tasty. Would certainly recommend to others.

Really good restaurant very consistent, very good service, good food always enjoy the experience. I don't want to recommend to others as I like my window seat!

The food was hot, came on time and tasted as expected. We were given a lovely seat by the window withought being cramped and the waitress was very polite, attentive and conversational-didn't quite get her name but she had short blonde hair and cool eye shadow!

Excellent service and ambience in restaurant. Good value for money menu choice. Need to be aware that a 12.5% gratuity is added to bill. Can be removed on request

Always good service. Iteresting menu, good choice for a pre theatre dinner with the family would choose this restaurant again. Nice polite staff. Thank you

As usual meal was fine. Service was good and the food was nicely cooked. There was a slight problem with the bill but it was soon sorted out.

Always fantastic service, food delicious and great wine. The prix fix menu is always a winner! Can never go wrong with the steak frites. Highly recommend.

AS ON PREVIOUS OCCASIONS THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT AND THE SERVICE VERY WELCOMING. OUR REQUEST TO SIT UPSTAIRS WAS QUICKLY ORGANISED AND WAS THE DELIVERY OF OUR FREE BOTTLE OF WINE TO THE TABLE. LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VISIT.

We went for dinner pre-theatre. The food was good, as anticipated and the service was excellent- unhurried and efficient with just the right gap between courses. It's not always like that in other branches in Covent Gsrden!

It was our first visit to Cote Brasserie for an evening meal, having only been for breakfast/coffee previously. It was fantastic. The food was superb and the staff were very pleasant and extremely professional - opened the wine at the table which seems to be a thing of the past in most restaurants we have visited. We will certainly be back to try something different on their extensive menu. We had steak which was succulent but I did have difficulty choosing as the menu was so good. Compliments to the chef as the steak was cooked perfectly. The starter menu was also extensive and everything on it sounded good! I also enjoyed my peppermint tea at the end of the meal - not everyone wants coffee late in the evening and I do like a 'real' coffee which was enjoyed by the rest of our party. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Cote in Canterbury is a great place to have a pre-theatre meal. Before 7pm you can have a three course meal for £12.95. Excellent value and no compromise on the delicious food. There is a nice relaxed atmosphere and the staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. All good!

We found the service very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent and good value. Definitely a six. As I cannot think of anything else to write this morning, I will post the review.

I would highly recommend the restaurant. The staff are all very friendly and didn't rush us at all, we felt very relaxed and comfortable all evening. The food is delicious and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were very generous. We will definitely be visiting again.

Always well received by friendly and attentive staff and food always good but if there is any criticism last evening's steak could have been slightly warmer. However, I shall be back!

Excellent service, quick, good food and good atmosphere. It is relatively expensive for what it is but still would highly recommend. Beers inparticular are extremely expensive. All round a nice restaurant.

Great service and lovely food. Steak cooked perfectly. Frites were delicious. Yummy crepe with chocolate and praline with bananas. Went to the Marlowe after and as a Friend of got 2 free kir royales.

Food very good but the service was rather slow and we had to remind the staff to bring our bottle of wine. However Cote Brasserie is a favourite and we would go again

We had a lovely meal - great food and wonderful staff at a very decent price. Not my first visit and certainly not my last. Very highly recommended.
