Six of us had a very pleasant meal at Cote Brasserie in Dorchester. There was a nice atmosphere as there were plenty of other diners there. Our second visit there as a group of six - will be returning.

A pleasant experience. We had the fixed price lunch menu: 3 courses. Service good, food good -except that the hake was overcooked but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

Eating at Cote is always a pleasure and today, at Dorchester, was no exception. Nice, friendly staff - attentive but not intrusive. We just ordered a main course each (a delicious seafood gratin jammed full of prawns, salmon and haddock) but that was followed by a couple of complimentary creme caramels accompanied with a small glass of desert wine courtesy of Cote Rewards. If you have never had the creme caramel before then a real treat awaits. Added to that carafes of chilled filtered water and linen napkins. Great to know that Cote will hopefully soon be in Bournemouth.

I took some friends to Cote's for the first time, they really enjoyed it. The food was good and very friendly staff. Just one thing that could have given them a 6 rating was:- I enquired what herb or ingredient was added to the creamed spinach, and the waitress just said cream. We all thought she should have found out from the chef and told us,. We are no more enlightened as to what it was!

We received a friendly welcome and shown to our table. It was busy but our food was served promptly and the staff were very friendly and efficient, and happily checked various dishes for ingredients as one of our party was allergic to peppers & chillies. The food was excellent and we will be returning.

Lunch set 3-course menu was good value, good selection, and good food. Staff were friendly and attentive. Optional tip added automatically, which I prefer as it saves agonising over whether to tip and how much.

Fabulous evening, wonderful food and extra special treat by the waiting staff who discovered it was a 50th birthday meal and brought out his pudding with a candle in it and then the restaurant sang happy birthday to him, such a nice touch. Thank you

Tables too close together and the noise levels were so high as to be almost stressful. Service very good and food dependable but unremarkable. Something of a relief to leave.

It's a treat to go Cote in Dorchester. The staff are friendly and helpful. We eat simply from the set early evening menu and have a bottle of wine (approx £50). Last night we had a complimentary glass of Kir Royale as a birthday reward. Thank you Cote.

Being our wedding anniversary I wanted to treat my wife to a well regarded restaurant in Dorchester. Cote was the first choice as we had been there before. The staff were very attentive; they could not have done more to make our experience enjoyable. The tomato soup, seabass, peach crumble and chocolate pod were excellent and good value. We will be dining at Cote again soon.

The service is always excellent, proper linen napkins, water on the table. My only critisism is that it can get very noisy and difficult to hear others on your table as there is little in the way of soft furnishing to absorb the sound. On this occasion my potato gratin was cold, it I didnt complain as I was in a hurry!
