Wonderful French male member of staff who looked after our four sun hats and couldn't have been more helpful. All the Cote staff in any branch are the best and charming young people you will come across.

Very busy restaurant due to the Goodwood Races so the service wasn’t up to the usual standard. The poached eggs were hard and we had to ask twice for our tea and coffe. Waiter was very apologetic.

With Cote you always know what you are going to get, which is good food for a good price but the service level in this branch was excellent.

Food was of the usual high standard. The waitress, who has been there for a while, was as hopeless as ever and has a complete lack of carisma and is in need of some basic training. We were left waiting for our main course, only to find that she had forgotten to inform the kitchen. As ever, the Cote Management was excellent and resolved all to everybody's satisfaction. We enjoyed the meal but there always seems to be some little hitch there.

As ever cheerful service; albeit a salad with artichoke hearts as the main attraction was pretty much devoid of this element. Otherwise a good experience.

Usual high standard foodwise and customer care. A pleasant way to spend your lunchtime or a treat for dinner, maybe pre-theatre. Varied menu all beautifully cooked and presented. Never disappointed.

Staff were excellent and definitely the best G&T 'in the world'. However, food was a bit disappointing. I've eaten at Cote many times and always thoroughly enjoyed it but the last twice have been less than brilliant. Last time the omelette was like a man-hole cover and this time the roasted (???) vegetables that accompanied the lovely warm goats cheese were barely cooked and certainly not brown, caramelised and roasted. In addition, the accompanying salad was minimal and unexciting. It's like the restaurant has got so busy that they cannot cope.

Excellent food and warm welcome as usual. Only problem for us is the noise level when the restaurant is busy so the only reason it is not our number one restaurant. It is number one in Chichester for every other reason.

Great service and good food. Our one complaint was that the minute steak (steak frites) was tough but this was dealt with with no fuss and the cost deducted from the bill.

Good meal. Had the midweek special menu. Calamari crispy and well cooked. Ribeye slightly overcooked but tasty nonetheless. Creme caramel a nice finish. Enjoyed the Corbiere alongside and over all was a good value 3-course meal.

Very nice as usual. Excellent meal and service. Be aware that the complimentary drink offer limits you to the a la carte menu and you can't use the cheaper fixed lunchtime menus. Person I prefer the fixed lunchtime menus as it limits the cost.

Service excellent, food good. Dark chocolate mousse almost as good as the dark chocolate pot at Cote Devonshire St. We were 15 mins late as the cinema programme was longer than it said it would be but we were nevertheless made to feel welcome. Very good that they had non alcoholic beer too.

The food was pleasant as were the staff. The portion size of the specials moules starter however, was really quite small. We visit the restaurant regularly and do not usually find that to be the case. We would mention this to staff if the portions are small again.

I reserved the table online,& liked the option to say I would need a table with wheelchair access, from our arrival we received faultless service throughout! Our waiter was very friendly, helpful and attentive,with check backsto ensure our meals were good and asked if anything else was required. I ordered from the vegetarian menu and my sister ordered from the main menu, both of our meals were absolutely delicious and we are looking forward to to our next visit to you! Very reasonable prices for what we both thought was a high end meal! A nice touch was the manager stopped at our table to see how we enjoyed our visit ! Thank you!
