We had great service with lovely food, just a couple of errors with the order which were sorted out, but it was a very busy evening so hardly surprising.

We enjoyed the deluxe set menu and the ambience of the restaurant which is set in Brewery Square,an attractive development which has lots of lots of other eateries,so lots of competition for business.

The food at Cote is consistently good. We have visited several branches and this one in Dorchester has a nice atmosphere considering it’s in a new development. The service was prompt and we had a lovely evening.

The meal was up to the normal standard but staff level was short the manager from salisbury was very nice and told us he was down for the day to help out as they were two staff down on two occasions we have been served by a young manageress and find her to be a bit cold and abrupt lacking the warmth normally received at cote having said that we do always enjoy the food

Great food in a lovely atmosphere. The only downside was that a 15 per cent tip is automatically added onto the bill. Customers can ask for this to be deducted but I would rather this policy was changed.

Just done a review, suddenly cut off, do not want to produce such a long review again. So will just say it was a great place to enjoy our 49th Wedding anniversary. Service was good, waiting staff were excellent. Had the Prestige Menu which was fine, although I probably would not have the Cod wrapped in Bacon which was OK but nothing special. The Creme Broule was good and my Vanilla Ice Cream with hot Dark Chocolate sauce was a fantastic end to the meal. Having been many times before. WE WILL BE BACK.

This was a reasonably pleasant early evening meal when the restaurant was quiet. The service was bright and efficient and the food was fine: a touch on the minimalist side but adequate on a summer night. Tables, here, had appreciable gaps between them so it was possible to hold a conversation. Like other customers I am not keen on the automatic addition of a gratuity.

This branch of Cote offers a consistently high standard. We visit often, and are always received with courtesy and efficiency. The food continues to be reliably excellent, and, when in Dorchester, we would not eat anywhere else.
