Everything perfect. Lovely service. We spent about 2 hours there for three courses. It was very busy as of Mothering Sunday but we were still served well.

Mother's Day champagne brunch. Excellent value and standard of food as usual. Only let down slightly by server who seemed to be having an off day. Otherwise would have been max score.

We stood at the door waiting to be seated whilst 3 staff walked by. Eventually one spoke to us but said he couldn’t help as it wasn’t his job. Maybe just say “hello. It won’t be a moment.” We then we’re taken to a table that wasn’t set and dirty. There was a clean gable next to it but we couldn’t go there without the managers permission. Why? After managers permission was granted we were allowed to sit. We were then sat waiting without menus until a waitress asked what we wanted to eat. I suggested menus first may be helpful. She looked embarrassed and walked away. I would normally say anything but it’s like this every time I go to a cote. Why?

Excellent service, food was great apart from the duck, it was dry and appeared as if it had been precooked five days ago and then quickly put into the oven when we ordered it and kept kn there too long. The rest was good.

Good meal in the March set menu. Next time I am having a glass of sweet wine with my pate - it is good enough to justify the extra cost!

Wow! Special visit last night. Customer service at its best. Another great evening at Cote Dorking - Fabulous food, great wine and an extra special warm welcome. The staff always go the extra mile and make us feel special and this time there was an exceptional greeting which we truly appreciated. Would we go anywhere else? No way! This is our local restaurant of choice and with the friendliness of the staff it will continue to be so.

The New Years Eve menu was good, with a number of new dishes added. The restaurant service was good and you are always made welcome. We will definitely be going back, particularly as my wife has to eat gluten free and Cote offer the best GF menu in the area.

I would highly recommend the Dorking branch of Cote. The room is a good size with comfortable seating, the service is good and, best of all, the food is excellent. I am a Coeliac and have difficulty in finding restaurants I can trust to give me gluten-free food, but Cote has a dedicated gluten-free menu with loads of choice, and every dish arrives with a little flag on the plate confirming that the food is gluten-free. This takes me back there time after time.
