Good food, good service. A pleasant visit - not the first and, I'm sure, not the last. Spoiled today by very noisy and unwelcome outside "entertainment". (Obviously not the restaurant's fault.)

Excellent service from all members of staff coupled with very tasty food and a great bottle of wine. A vomiting child nearby was unable to spoil our experience! Well done, Cote Dorchester!

The restaurant quite busy on this fine summer day. Delays due to staff shortage. One more staff member would have made a big difference to the service provided. Food great as usual.

The asparagus starter was disappointing ... Asparagus was past its sell by date, shrivelled at the ends! The Chicken dish was mediocre, the white beans were far too Al dente . Far from satisfactory visit ... Staff pleasant as usual ....

I love this Cote in Dorchester. Lovely friendly staff and great service. Loved my lamb. Hope it's not just a special for June! Thought my starter portion of mussels was quite small as we're the mussels themselves. Lovely sauce with them though and that was the only issue. Free bottle of rose enjoyed too.

We apparently entered through the "wrong" door and were asked to queue at the "other" reception area. We were then shown to a table by the same waitress!! After that service was very good and food was outstanding - perfectly cooked calamari..

The staff in the Dorchester branch were both friendly and efficient but left me just the right amount of time to choose my food and then didn't rush me between courses. I was dining alone and as a female, felt very comfortable there. The food was very good. I shall return.

Great place and lovely staff. Food terrific and service quick. Highly recommend this venue. Definitely value for money and the staff are great. There is a voluntary service charge which goes to the staff and I had no hesitation paying this. I have dined there several times now and can’t think of a bad word to say. I will be going back again.
