Party of four, enjoyed our evening meal, will go again. Tenderloin of pork not available but we were not advised. As three of wanted that we had to rechoose and as a result the confused server over charged by £3.50 but we got that refunded without a problem the next day. Very pleasant restaurant and staff.

It has become very expensive to eat at the Cote if you start a few extras for vegetables and potatoes the dishes end up being priced over £20. There were dirty tables around which were slow to be cleared. I've been coming to The Cote for a number of years but it is not value for money any more.

After a long walk we decided on an early dinner, 5 pm. But for the first time as being a regular customer, found this to be very disappointing visit Staff was quite aggressive to me for complaining about a very poor dessert and thought he should try explain to me the difference between a tarte tatin and tarte ou pomme What a shame! Could have spoilt a nice evening after our enjoyable walk I think I will give Cotes a break for a while.

Overall a very nice meal. Very prompt with the service, both the speed of drinks and meals. The speed didn’t compromise on quality as all three courses were delicious

I’ve never had a disappointing visit to Cote Dorchester. Delicious food, (exquisite creme brûlée), attentive staff, and relaxed atmosphere. I recommend signing up for the newsletter and getting a complimentary drink of the month when you order from the a la carte menu - it’s an added bonus.

Very varied menu for all tastes Some dishes not seen on many menus, cf steak tartare The cassoulet de Toulouse was delicious as was the fish parmentier But must say that the venison ‘cottage pie’ was too dry. Enjoyed the ‘freebee’ aperitifs

We were disappointed that we didn't receive the usual welcome and were left for a few minutes before anyone came to speak with us and show us to a table. The Calamari were rather tasteless and lacked any piquancy. The Duck Confit was served with lots of slices of orange to decorate the dish rather than an orange sauce with a slice of orange as garnish. The duck was cooked to perfection but would have been spectacular with an orange sauce. Other than that I enjoyed the meal.

Food as always was excellent, but for the first time service was poor. Admittedly it was very busy but we had to wait 15 / 20 mins to order a dessert aftef our mains were cleared and that was only because we asked a passing staff member if we could please order a dessert.
