Thank you to the team at Dorchester Cote Brasserie for a really enjoyable evening on Saturday. Dinner was a perfectly cooked fillet steak and a chargrilled tuna nicoise, absolutely delicious. The service was professional, friendly and super-efficient from start to finish and the atmosphere relaxing, which is a skill in itself to create with the Covid restrictions. Ten out of ten. We will see you again soon.

Went for Saturday brunch - a real treat - I had the Avocado breakfast and my partner had the avocado benedict. It was excellent except that for each of us the eggs just were too runny. I had actually requested mine to be well done and my partner said he would like his ‘normal’ but for us both they were really runny. Also, no orange juice available!

Great staff, good food and safe Covid experience. Such a shame only 5 tables occupied. I live around the corner from one of your Central London Branches in Covent Garden and I can honestly say that the branch in Dorchester was great/ better by comparison; well done! Jennie procter

The food was fabulous and the service very good. Some of the staff leant into the table a bit closer than was necessary but the overall safety system was good with plenty of space. The only other slight criticism is that 12.5% service automatically included. Not a problem but would have been nice if this was stated by the waiting staff when bill was presented. Overall was very good and would recommend as a treat.

Used cote on a few occasions and always the service is good, the food is usually good although sometimes have had to send duck back as it was tough. This was dealt with in a no fuss way. Generally a enjoyable dining experience . The full English is ace.

We were happy with our lunch and the covid security in place. Our only minor criticism was that the tarte au citron appeared to have been microwaved as the pastry was soggy rather than crisp.

This was the last possible visit before lockdown and the restaurant was quite busy. As always the service and welcome was very good although the staff were sad they were to close again. The steak served for the steak frites was not up to its usual high standard and this was mentioned to the manager who took not and passed the information to the kitchen. There seemed to be genuine concern and I imagine the preparation will look at this in future, this is the first time I have ever found the restaurant at fault and I trust it will not happen again. Will certainly return after lockdown as it is such a good place to eat.

We enjoyed our little wedding lunch in your restaurant immensely. Staff very efficient and patient. Good simple food. I make better french onion soup but that was a minor point, it was pretty good. Thanks for the complementary champagne, which was very good.

Fantastic food and service. Staff made my 11 year old daughter feel very special as it was her birthday and my partner who’s ‘special birthday’ it will be during lockdown 2. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was 2 of our favourite items had been removed from the menu, one being Creme Brulee! Otherwise would have been 5 stars 🌟

Excellent service by our waitress (Daniella I think) Our food was delicious and arrived quickly. Our desserts were lovely. Drinks were lovely. The restaurant was spotlessly clean and all staff adhering to current Covid guidelines. The tables were well distanced and customers sat as far apart as possible. The meal was also good value for money. I can find no fault. We will be back as soon as we are allowed and wish all staff good luck.

Another excellent meal at Cote - Pork tenderloin with added side dish of creamed spinach and a pot of delicious frites to share. Chocolate fondant and ice cream. The menu is so varied and splendid that we never tire of going to Cote at Dorchester. Sadly it will close for another month of lockdown. Back to home cooking

Excellent service by a friendly man. Food was some of the best I’ve had in a while! Normally with some vegetarian breakfast you get quite simple substitutes, which aren’t that nice. I had vegetarian breakfast as it was perfect, husband had salmon and scrambled eggs which he too thought it was great. Definitely going to be our new breakfast spot! Especially as the coffee was very tasty :) and the ambience was lovely - very cheery on a rainy morning. Thanks Gemma
