Fantastic service but two of the dishes were wrong and had to be sent back to be corrected. Far too much pepper used in the food.
Côte is always reliable - service good and quick for a pre-theatre meal, and very good value for money. "Le rapport prix- qualité était correct".
Good food at a reasonable price, the service is friendly and efficient. We have been on several occasions both evening and lunch and have never been disappointed.
Superb food, wonderful service from Leslie - as usual. We visit this place at least twice a year and would go more often if we lived closer!
We love Cote and usually frequent Reigate branch as that's where we live, so was hoping Chi branch was going to be as good and we weren't disappointed! Great staff, service and food. Was my dads 80th birthday celebration and couldn't have been better. Will be back.
We were at Cote celebrating my son's birthday and it was a great meal as always - consistently good quality and great service with very well-trained staff. Will definitely be back.
Sundays would not be quite the same without our lunchtime visit to this restaurant. We've eaten at other Cote restaurants and, although the menus are the same elsewhere, Chichester remains our firm favourite. Maybe it is the atmosphere generated by the friendly staff who are always very welcoming and keen to make our visit enjoyable.
Overall the food was very good and the service was friendly. We only gave a score of 4 because: 1. The chocolate desert was granular rather than smooth, so it was replaced with the crumble, which was very good. 2. Our order for two coffees got lost, so we were kept waiting until we ordered again. 3. Our companion reported that the Ladies toilet was not clean, especially behind the door. In fairness, the Manager kindly adjusted our bill for these oversights and we were happy to pay the 12% gratuity. We have eaten there quite often and think it is good value. From time-to-time things go wrong but they are always very good at resolving any issues. Happy to recomment the Cote in Chichester.
As always lovely staff and very helpful, my nan's steak was served nearly cold and so were my chips but both issues were resolved in minutes and the staff were brilliant about it. Great food (other than the blip) as always.
A very disappointing experience. My wife's calamari was like rubber and inedible. The manager agreed and the remaining calamari stock was thrown away. Doesn't anyone taste the food before it is served? The mackerel was tasteless, as was the moules. The moules and the sauce tasted as though it had been stewing for several hours and was just bland. We have enjoyed meals at other Cote locations, but this first time visit in Chichester was a disaster.
Cote is consistently good news. The pre-dinner menu was remarkably varied, the service was rapid and the ambience great. Add excellent food at a remarkable low price - you couldn't ask for more!
Very efficient and friendly service, a mistake was made serving the wrong wine, but dealt with professionally.It was completely full in the restaurant yet the food was delicious and we weren't kept waiting.
As usual the service was very good, reception was friendly and all the waiting staff were efficient and always smiling. Service was prompt and the food up to the expected high standard. Very good value for money.
I always enjoy eating at Cote Brasserie in Chichester. I have always had good food and good service - what more do you need from a restaurant
Lunch - pleasant, prompt and good value. Ambience quite buzzy but not overly so. One had fixed price lunch menu, the other selected from the a la carte.
Welcoming efficient staff. Tasty food. Quite large portions so could probably just had main course instead of starter as well. Largest wine glass is 175 ml - no 250 ml which I prefer.
As usual the food was very good. We ate at 5.30 pre theatre.. Only complaint, tables far too near together so not much room and very little privacy unless you spoke very quietly. Not sure whether they have included more tables for the holiday season but I do not remember it being so cramped as this before.
As always excellent food and service. Good value pre theatre menu. Only criticism was bringing coffee before we had had dessert. Always enjoy cote and have visited several.
Excellent meal. All three courses delicious, and it is rare to find a restaurant that does starters, main courses and desserts all really well. The staff were lovely; friendly and professional. Service was at just the right pace, with no long waits and no sense of rushing.
We often choose Cote when we eat out especially if we are going to the theatre. They offer great value, the food is of a high standard and the service is always good.
Location, food, service all excellent although we felt a little pricey. Don't have the table near the coffee / drinks station..empty bottles are noisy when dropped into the bin!
Great service, fantastic food - we had breakfast at Cote in Chichester and it was absolutely perfect. Really good value as well. Highly recommended! I recommend the full English

Excellent breakfast, a great way to start a Sunday morning. Good quality and good service. Highly recommend the full English breakfast/brunch. The salmon and poached eggs are very good too.
On a hot day the restaurant was cool, with a wide ranging menu and tasty food well prepared all suported by attentive, pleasant and efficient service. An excellent Sunday lunch.
Always A1 service. Food is top quality. Set menu worth every penny. Our favourite in town. Lovely to sit in the window which opens to the street. Lovely on a Summer evening.
We went there for a pre theatre meal. It was just the job with our choices being served with a smile and were well cooked.
Staff excellent, food good and atmosphere very enjoyable. Menu varied and good choices for pre theatre and early evening dining. Would recommend as a good choice In Chichester
Much better than I was expecting. All four of us really enjoyed the food. It was cooked perfectly and nicely presented. The service was attentive, not intrusive and the atmosphere pleasant> I have been to several Cotes, but this is by far the best.
Good food, enthusiastic staff, will be back soon. The ambience cannot be faulted. The overall internal decoration is soothing and this greatly contributes to the evening's experience
Fab food and brilliant service staff . Definitely a meal to remember I will be going again very soon. Thoroughly recommend the weekday set menu
Warmth of welcome, ordering and menus were good. The service that followed was timely and efficient. Food quality good, portion size adequate and plates were hot on arrival. So far, so good. Wine prices too high, particularly if you factor in the obligatory service charge!

We wanted a fairly simple pre theatre meal, not hurried but neither slow in being served. We were really pleased with the menu choice , service and setting and enjoyed our meal very much.
Excellent food and service. Love this restaurant however, the wooden floor makes everything seem very noisy! Great, but maybe not for a quiet romantic meal!
Delightful evening dining at Côte Chichester. All dishes were up superb. Staff there usual high quality service and very accommodating with any requests. Always smiling. .

Great food, really lovely choice of dishes; everyone had something different and everyone loved their choice. Lovely atmosphere, we didn't feel rushed at all; staff gave us plenty of time to chat and choose, but once ordered, service was prompt. Such an enjoyable evening.
excellent service and great food, staff very attentive , a very vibrant place , very busy with a great atmosphere, will certainly return in the near future
A very nice meal, excellent service by well trained, friendly staff. We shall look forward to eating there again on our next visit to Chichester Theatre ,
The restaurant was packed. Glad we had booked because they were turning people away at the door. And I can see why - highly efficient and friendly staff. The manager couldn't have been more helpful. The food was superb and was delivered in a timely and well-paced manner. The set menu was excellent value for money with a good range of options. Can't fault any of it.
Good service, great food. Maybe just a few minutes extra between courses would have been better but overall we were very happy with the dining experience.
Service was excellent. However, the glazed carrots (GF) appeared to have a dressing with them that I found not very nice, and the frozen berry dessert was rather too sweet, maybe because I only used a little of the chocolate sauce. The others in my group enjoyed their meals.
IT was very good starting from arrival through to leaving the restaurant the vegetable risotto that I had was very enjoyable and my friend - a Chichester local - very much enjoyed her goats cheese salad.Her leaving comments to me summed it up well - the food is good the restaurant is very clean and the staff are all polite and well mannered so no doubt when we meet up again it will be at Cotes
We've visited the Brighton Cote on many occasions but this was the first time in the Chichester branch. Excellent service and very good food. The breaded langoustine tails were absolutely fantastic! The piquant chicken was slightly on the dry side but nice enough. The seafood linguine seemed to go down particularly well with others as did the chicken and walnut salad. Lovely bottle of Picpoul. Altogether a lovely experience. I'd definitely recommend.
Excellant food and friendly staff. I had the rump of lamb, which was a special, and it was rare, just as I ordered, and really tasty.
Very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with good steaks! We were able to have a table near the front of the restaurant but some tables looked a bit gloomy.
We always enjoy our food and the service at Chichester Côte. Food served promptly and efficiently - what more can you ask for. Bon appetit!
Excellent service as always, nothing is too much trouble. Food is superb same quality every time I visit. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant an absolute must!
We ate at Cote Chichester on Saturday lunch time and really enjoyed the whole experience. The food was delicious, the service timely and friendly and the ambience was great. Couldn't have asked for more.
I love Cote restaurants. I am coeliac and the food choices are wonderful and the little Gluten free flag on each fish is really comforting! Our meal was absolutely delicious.... we had superb service and the only down side to the whole experience was that the Chichester Cote is acoustically very noisy. I have been to Cote in Harrogate (regularly) and to Blackheath and the acoustics in those two branches are better than at Chichester where at times it was hard to hear the person sitting next to me.
It's always such a pleasure to have lunch with friends at Cote. The standards and food are always first class and the staff are genuinely smiling and welcoming.
Another excellent lunch at Cote, Chichester. We ate from the fixed price menu and all our dishes were very good. The menu is good value at the best of times, but thanks to the July offer under the Rewards scheme we enjoyed two meals for the price of one, which made our meal even better value for money. The service was pleasant and efficient, as always and we shall be back before long for another lunch or pre-theatre supper.
