Great food, well cooked and presented, great service and a lovely atmosphere
Great food, fresh and delicious, lovely service and a free cocktail too!
Had lunch here today. We both had a main course one pan fried haddock the other pork belly. Generous portions beautifully cooked.
The quality of the food was superb, as was the presentation, and in terms of value for money I was satisfied. The atmosphere was good, very relaxing, and I was pleased with the way staff responded to learning that it was my birthday. Talking of the staff, I would like to particularly mention the waiter, who was extremely courteous, extremely personable and charming. I didn't catch his name, but he was Romanian and aged around 30-35.
It would've been 5 stars had a vegan main course option been available.
Came for brunch - just perfect Delicious sausage, eggs cooked just as I like
Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We will be here again.
Had a lovely evening - restaurant was buzzing - great atmosphere - food was great as usual - thank you Sarah and the team xx
Second visit this week! I love cote - lovely food, good value, really nice service and always a great buzzy atmosphere. The celeriac soho is my fave. Thanks!
Absolutely lovely evening for my daughters birthday! Great food and brilliant service. Well done Cote Dorchester. 👏🏼👏🏼
Admirably attentive needs waiting staff kept asking us a bit too often if we had enjoyed our meal. Also kept trying to clear away while there was food on our plates and hadn’t positioned cutlery to show we had finished. Otherwise as ever a very good dining experience
Excellent staff service and food. Staff were helpful, perfect timing between courses, and food was delicious. No rushing and we were called Ladies not “Guys”. Thank you
A fantastic evening. Great food- tasty and beautifully cooked. OUTSTANDING service from the fabulous Calvin who is an absolute star and Cote are SOoooo lucky to have him. I don’t know what your bonus scheme for staff is- but he’s AMAzing - you are lucky to have him.
Really delicious food from the set menu, good wine selection by the glass. Slightly slow on the service but a nice atmosphere and the menu changes often enough to be able to find different things if you become a regular,
Great staff great food. One of the best restaurants in Dorchester
The food was excellent to a very high standard we had a fantastic night out and we will definitely come again thank you so much ❤️
Good service and a delicious meal. Cocktail was icing on the cake for a birthday celebration!
A perfect evening with friendly professional staff. No complaints from our group.
Normally we really enjoy our visit to Cote but on this occasion the experience wasn't good. The minute steak (steak frites) was very chewy, not enjoyable and I only managed to eat half. The Breton chicken was undercooked and pink - again, inedible. The service was good - so we are hoping it was just a 'Saturday night' blip. Thanks
Great ambiance as ever, food was delicious and staff were attentive without being overbearing.
Lovely evening, great food and great service, we had a great night as always x
Amazing service. Amazing food quality. Kate and the team never fail! Also many thanks to the amazing kitchen team
Overall meal was good only spoilt by coffee for one friend served with cream which was OFF - it congealed on top of the coffee when poured in - problem was although he was quickly offered a fresh coffee and cream, it happened a 2nd time - that is VERY POOR - third coffee he had with wife's hot milk. Staff id not seem to appreciate cause of the problem ?
Excellent lunch for our party of 6 friends. Everybody enjoyed the meal and altogether a very good experience at a reasonable price.
My stars speak for me. My partner and I eat often at this venue together and with friends.
Beautifully prepared food, really delicious. Delightful ambience, good service. The best restaurant in Dorchester!
We regularly meet friends here and there was the usual level of overall excellence. Food to a high standard and value. Restaurant warm and welcoming with attentive friendly service. A Manager who is actively involved in the running of the restaurant as well as being ‘hands on’. Many thanks
Friendly staff , lovely atmosphere, great food and drink. Will be visiting very soon again
Lovely food on the early diner menu great choice and good service, nice table and pleasant atmosphere
Polite friendly staff and we increased our seating numbers by one a few hours before our reservation. A quiet table by the window with very good efficient service. Thank you.
Staff are most pleasant and accommodating. Always an enjoyable experience
Great food and service. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended.
Good food and excellent service as ever at this consistently good branch of Côte. Thanks to all the staff.
Lovely service, friendly and welcoming. Food was good and well prepared.
A great restaurant (with a gluten free menu) for a special occasion.
Very nice meal efficiently served and not overpriced. Good atmosphere most enjoyable.
My family and I enjoyed our experience at the cote brasserie at Dorchester. It's a treat for us all as it's on the expensive side but we all love it here. A well managed restaurant with great staff. Food quality was fab and we left very satisfied. The only thing that would make it better would be to remove the 12% discretional service charge. I find that a bit cheeky. I feel the customer should decide the service tip.
Staff great food wonderful had a great evening thank you
It was a busy evening in the restaurant but service was quick and efficient and the food was lovely.
Lovely way to spend a birthday! Staff were so attentive.
Perfect service and food. 10/10 as always. Haven’t had a ad meal in dorchester branch.
great food as always and great drinks shame no music playing
Very busy on a 1930 Friday booking. A little delay but good service. Food excellent as always. Wine VG. Water glasses smelt of stale drying cloth. Service charge is excessive. Overall, brilliant food, good service. Thank you.
Very nice meal with family. Nice, relaxing atmosphere. Service very quick and friendly. Food delicious as always!
Amazing experience as always! Beautiful food and impeccable customer service. We’re quite regular to the Dorchester restaurant and only have positive things to say about each and every visit.
Always an enjoyable experience, greeted with friendly staff, good menu, never disappointed
The table wobbled we had to ask waiter to put a paper wedge underneath to stop it. My girlfriend asked for some butter for her bread when it was slammed on the table it had a hair on it and we gave up trying to get a waiter attention and ate it without when steak arrived we asked for french mustard and got English I had to go and swap at counter. We have been to coat Dorchester quite a few times this time it was very poor
Excellent food with great wine pairings. Efficient and friendly service
My husband’s cassoulet was “adequate” - to me it looked very dry and needed some greenery! He relished every mouthful of his Tarte citron. My nicoise was less than “adequate” - the portion size for a “main course” was pretty meagre - especially for £14.95! There was a lot of red onion and red pepper (both which I don’t eat) - tomatoes/beans/olives/potatoes - really not enough. Frites were more like fried sticks. Having said all this, the atmosphere was very good indeed and the service from every single member of staff was excellent - attentive, helpful and friendly. We look forward to receiving your comments on the above.
Food was excellent-complementary cocktails were delicious-(& waitress very helpful when I explained that we'd booked on-line but had had difficulty with the site & getting the complementary cocktail voucher issued).Nice touch with the complementary drink also(my husband mentioned that we'd booked lunch for our daughter's birthday).Dined there before & would do so again.
