We mostly enjoyed our meal but I did mention that my second starter, which I had for a main meal was disappointing. I had the cold meats and toasted bread, well the bread was inedible as it was too tough to put the pate on plus the onion on top of the salad was dry and not freshly cut. As I say disappointing. Noise level was good as practically empty and we specifically asked for somewhere quiet. Manager not bothered.

As usual the food was spot on, service was good I think you need one more server as the Dorchester brasserie is always busy. The only downfall was the starter was missing the lardons. However we enjoyed everything. Swordfish cooked to perfection! Pork belly also cooked to perfection. The sea bream was full of flavour and again perfect. Thank you for maintaining the standards. Paul.

Really wonderful evening supper experience thank you, we were unfortunately delayed by late train, yet Dorchester Cote Brasserie were very helpful and quickly rearranged our booking for half hour later. Menu is absolutely wonderful, so many tasty dishes to suit all, our Swordfish was beautifully presented and absolutely scrumptious too. The service was really excellent and perfectly times too thank you. Thoroughly recommended and we can hardly wait to dine there again soon, thank you to all staff there.

We really enjoyed our visit to Côte, we chose the set menu at £18.95. My French onion soup starter was delicious, very authentic. I then had the pork loin which was very tender and tasty. Finished with my favourite, chocolate mousse, again delicious. All in all, a lovely evening...the only downside was adding 12.5% service change to the bill.

Really good meal, well worth the money and great staff. Gabriella was our waitress and she was great, looked after us and was a perfect ambassador for Cote’s. My only concern and why Cote’s don’t get full marks is the mandatory 12.5% service charge in bills, this to me should be optional.

The food is always very well cooked, there are monthly specials added to the menus for variety. Service is excellent at the Dorchester restaurant with friendly efficient staff. We like that the bill is offered with service included and that the tip goes in full to the staff as it should.

Excellent as always - marvellous French formula (probably better than going to Paris at the moment), a comprehensive menu with lots of choice and a good French wine list. All four of us were delighted with both food and service hence the top rating.

We ate off the bargain January menu starting at 6 PM so there was a slight lack of atmosphere due to low numbers, no doubt explained by the threat of snow. The meal was excellent I had the soup my wife had the ham with remoulade. My mains was pork fricassee and hers was chicken, cannot remember exactly how was cooked but it was good.Out of pure greed I had a chocolate pot to finish. Two large glasses of wine and a bill of £45 including the tip. Outstanding value.

We went for a family breakfast today with two toddlers. Food was delicious as usual, and service efficient and friendly. There is not a dedicated childrens menu, however we were able to split one full breakfast between the children. A regular venue of choice for us in Dorchester.
