Food was fantastic and the staff were superb. Very comfy seating, wide range on the menu and a great feel to the place
A lazy lunch, delicious food, great professional service, good value! Thanks Cote!
Excellent service and food as always and to top it off complimentary fizz for the birthday girl!
Great menu, lovely atmosphere and very attentive service from all the staff
Very pleasant evening with good food and polite service from all staff.
Went with friends to celebrate a successful house move and the food was, as always, very tasty.
Yes it really is that good. Our go-to restaurant both in Dorchester and Exeter - we live in between. As good as it gets - great food and an excellent choice of sensibly priced wine. Cote is a top brand.
We dined on a busy Saturday evening, so we were pleased that we had booked a table. We were quickly shown to our table and were given a complimentary cocktail as part of an offer at the time. The service was good given how busy the restaurant was. The busy restaurant, and particularly a large birthday party, meant that the background noise level was high, which made conversation difficult for me - I'm sure younger people with better hearing would not have noticed. The food was generally very good, but was let down for me by the white wine sauce with the moules which was far too salty to be enjoyed. All the other food was very good.
Attractive restaurant with attentive staff and delicious food from a varied menu.
Excellent service and good food. Atmosphere made the evening too. Definitely on my list to come again. ( as soon as possible .. Thanks we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good evening nice atmosphere enjoyed the food and good service
Very disappointing. Pepper steak was overcooked and way too much pepper! Beef bourginon was not like one I’ve ever had before. To be fair the soup was nice. But overall not a good experience.
The only reason I’ve given it two stars is because of the staff. The service was excellent and the waiters were extremely pleasant. The food however was over priced for what it was my meal in particular was dry - I had a burger and my pudding which was the crepe was so sweet and stodgy it made my mouth go dry.
Brilliant service and brilliant food. Was a birthday treat for my self and was amazing today
Lovely food and lovely atmosphere. Also enjoyed the promotional drink which was a great added bonus.
The whole experience was excellent as per usual...Thank you once again
A very pleasant meal prior to a visit to the opera in the nearby cinema. The food was extremely tasty, well presented and the service was excellent as always.
As always a good tasty meal with excellent service and atmosphere.
We all had a lovely meal with a very relaxed atmosphere. The service was great and courteous throughout, excellent job thank you very much. 👍🏻
This visit was to celebrate the16th birthday of our grand-daughter and we all had a very enjoyable meal as usual.
Very welcome cocktail (slightly too sweet for our taste) Delicious Calamari Scrumptious Herb Chicken and sauce Disappointing Artichokes (hard and mistaken for new potatoes) 🤫. Quickly exchanged for potatoes so had no veg other than two cooked spinach leaves. (This is where you lost your point.).... Fabulous Creme caramel. Very good service as always ........I admire how well you cope with so many customers. Very well done indeed 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Excellent food, very good service from friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Location overlooking fountains gave a European feel.
Great atmosphere and great food. So nice to have so many gluten free options and great service with it.
Wonderful atmosphere and food. Not the cheapest, but but definitely well worth it..
Lovely meal but I don't like haveing 12.5% gratuity automatically added to my bill. It can be removed but makes you look really stingy. I think it is up to the paying customer to decide if and how much to give.
We went for a birthday meal. The service was great, food outstanding and birthday champagne on arrival dotted with other birthday niceties from the staff made the evening very memorable. Thank you all at Dorchester Côte.
I had a lovely meal here with my wife celebrating her birthday. The ambience was a bit subdued given it was a midweek lunchtime (not a lot you could do about that?). My wife's crepe meal was just as she wanted. I had the fish parmentier and wished it had been highlighted to me that some vegetables or salad with it might be a good idea. Certainly, I wished I'd had some vegetables or a mixed salad with it. Generous chocolate mousse pudding which was plenty for us to share. Excellent selection of wine by the glass, our sauvignon blanc was lovely and just what was needed.
As always, we had a very enjoyable night out at Cote. Faultless!
Yet again we had an excellent night out at Cote.
The food is consistently first class. Today’s menu in particular was excellent and just happened to be my favourite combination (roast vegetables & grilled chicken plus lovely mustard sauce) and what good value. Absolute perfection. What a treat, especially after a nasty medical appointment. Thank you, it’s a bit like being in France.
Great service and excellent breakfast, would recommend for a relaxing weekend brunch
Fantastic and super fresh food. Server gave attentive and professional service.
Excellent service and friendly staff food was amazing as always will definitely be returning
Ordered Gluten free food and it was excellent, great service
Cote is our favourite restaurant. As usual the food and service were fantastic. The staff really are superb. Only given 3 stars on this occasion, the reason being was the noise coming from the people on the table behind us. They had obviously failed to realise that there were other people in the restaurant and they were so loud it really was uncomfortable. We had 3 young grandchildren with us but couldn’t hear anything they were trying to say to us! What a shame some people do not consider others when in a public place. It’s all about them !! I hasten to add that we realise cote cannot be responsible for customers behaviour. I am hoping the customers i am referring to might read this review and remember it for next time.

I regularly book this restaurant The good and service are very good Alcohol can be expensive
Great food, great service, great atmosphere and very impressed they acknowledged our wedding anniversary by providing a free bottle of bubbles and a dessert plate with happy anniversary icing on it ABSOLUTELY OUR FAVOURITE RESTAURANT! We constantly recommend this place keep up the good work!
The ladies who looked after us were very attentive and helpful! The food was super and great value. We love visiting this lovely restaurant
Another lovely evening spent with friends at Cote Dorchester. The noise levels are horrendous however. Only 6 of us at the table but I could not hear the 2 friends the other end of the table (3 each side). Food always good and served hot! Good value on the 'meal deal' before 7pm.
Food was beautiful and the service was excellent and a great menu.
We sat outside as it was early evening. Delicious wine. Food excellent and quick as we were rushing to the cinema. A great pre cinema supper
Lovely food (recreating the authentic French fair), good service and prompt food delivery. Good ambience in the restaurant too even at lunch!
Excellent food and all the staff were helpful and friendly.
Great evening, food delicious and overall service food and will be back
Haven’t been for a while, nice to see some staff are still here since the branch opened. Lovely to sit outside in the September sunshine, apart from the wasps but that’s life. Enjoyed a relaxed lunch, will be back soon.
It was very busy the evening we went but the staff were excellent to accommodate the wait.
Excellent meal prior to an evening at the opera at the Corn Exchange.
As usual an excellent meal, and although the restaurant was very busy the service was timely and excelklent
Excellent food and service as always. Thank you so much
All very good. We had a lovely time. Thank you
