I need to begin by apologising for being late(road works!)but your team were unfazed.Service good,food very good,wine most enjoyable.My ONLY criticism is that, because other customers were clearly enjoying themselves,noise levels were rather high making conversation tricky.(Only solution is to invite all other customers to keep silent when I am dining!I suspect you might find that a mite impracticable!) We enjoyed our visit and meal and look forward to the next time.

Good food, good service and complimentary wine in a relaxed atmosphere. What's not to like?? I can't think of anything as Cote Brasserie was well up to its usual standard.

Excellent food, very attentive service and attractive surroundings. The menu is a pleasant alternative to most other places. The only negative was the very weak tea.

A small party of 4 of us lunched at Cote in Dorchester to celebrate my father's 91st birthday. The staff were excellent and he was given a complimentary Prosecco on arrival and a Happy Birthday dessert. Lunch was excellent and staff brilliant.

We had a group of six booked for Saturday and all had a lovely time. Although the restaurant was very busy, the service was excellent and staff very friendly and attentive. We all had mains and desserts, which everyone enjoyed. The complementary bottle of Chardonnay was so good we ordered another. Thank you for a lovely evening😋👌

Slow service, they missed sending out our starter and then my main dish was over cooked and dry. Staff too busy to try and ask even for a drink.

Our server a female young with black hair was not very welcoming and had no smile when serving. On arrival we were not offered a drink. This is not what I would expect fro your establishment. The others I was with stated this was unusual as they are frequent diners,this was my first time. The other servers were pleasant. I was not that impressed

Enjoyed a very nice meal at Côte, Dorchester. The food was excellent, the Service very friendly and helpful and the surroundings quiet and tranquil. It was a Sunday evening and a complete contrast to the atmosphere (noise) we experienced when we visited on New Years Eve. For us, a much more relaxing and enjoyable evening. Highly recommended!

Experience was fine because it was New Year’s Eve. However it did take an awful long time to order and then we finally got our amuse Bouche just of the starters arrived. The vegetarian main course was pretty tasteless. Otherwise it was a good experience

A good restaurant is a good restaurant but it is the little things that make all the difference and make the overall experience more enjoyable. Instead of ordering 3 glasses of Kia we ordered a bottle. The three glasses were delivered to the table with the dash of cassis perfectly accompanied by a little jug of cassis on the side. Forethought. Much appreciated.

We spent a lovely evening at Cote Dorchester on New Years Eve; we felt pampered by the staff who were all welcoming and extremely polite and professional. The meal was beautifully timed and presented as of course delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all of my family to mark a special occasion- thank you

Wonderful lunch, very tasty food, we were surprised at the quality, for a chain restaurant. Authentic flavours which reminded us of our time spent traveling in France this summer. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
