Food and service were great although my tuna (nicoise) wasn't quite as pink as I expected. That didn't spoil our experience though. Service was attentive and friendly but not obtrusive. Great Sunday lunch.

Good food. Service was extremely quick. Perhaps just a bit too much. Felt rushed. I know it is a fine line between waiting and rushing. But that was our opinion.

A lovely brunch with friends. Just a pity the scrambled eggs and smoked salmon plate is not included in formule, especially given it's the same price a la carte as the full English, French and vegetarian breakfasts and the eggs royale, all of which are included in the great value formule.

My rib eye steak was inedible as even with a steak knife, it could not cut through the gristle. The staff were most apologetic and cooked a replacement. It is for this reason I rated my experience 4.

As a regular visitor to Cote Dorking today was disappointing. The service was slow and there was a long hair in one of the main course dish.

My daughter's steak was covered in black pepper. It caused to cough violently and her fries were already salted. We believe that condiments should be used according to the taste of the customer and not the chef's. Not everyone would use black pepper or salt. The steak was changed but there was no apology. We were told that if we didn't want pepper on the steak we should say so when ordering but the menu gave no indication that there would be pepper on the steak or salt on the fries.

There were five of us seated and we ordered starters and mains. The starters came but the mains were one short. So consequently we had to wait ages for all our mains. Then when they brought them out they were still one short. So one steak and frites was cold on arrival. The service was not as it should be.

It was very noisy, maybe we could have been offered a table further away from the large group. The food was delicious but my husband ordered lemon tart but was served tart au pomme. I suspect the waitress could not hear us clearly in view of the noise level.

Cote Dorking: Booked online, couldn't be easier, Slightly dodgy greeting with the Maitre d' rushing out saying welcome, one of the staff will deal with you but very friendly greeting and attentive service thereafter, communicative, helpful, gave time to settle in with menus and wine lists then drinks provided swiftly, orders taken and starters provided in minutes, food was good and sufficient, house-wine (white) good with Chicken and surprisingly tasty with tarte au citron. Compared with a recent local italian eatery, service in half the time despite being busy.

As always a beautiful meal at an excellent price. The staff at Dorking are helpful and courteous. As a coeliac requiring a strict gluten free meal the careful attention to detail at Cote means I can relax and enjoy my meal with confidence.

I've been to this Cote a few times and the food and service have always been good. On this occasion I took my mum for Mother's Day lunch and we both had the pork belly, which was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. The staff were, as always, friendly and attentive and all in all it was a lovely meal. My only criticism is that it does tend to be a bit noisy in there and we were seated near the cutlery / trays etc station and there was a bit of dropping of things and so forth, which was very very noisy, perhaps a rethink on how that area is used. All in all, a lovely meal though.
