This is a favourite restaurant of ours. Firstly, the staff are so wonderfully welcoming and friendly. I genuinely feel like they are our friends. Côte have a really good team with Cipran and Katarina, they are wonderful ambassadors for the company. The food is always of a high standard, they currently have my favourite seasonal starter on, the seared tuna - delicious! Highly recommend.
Great brunch. Good service. Full house on a Sunday morning.
A bit noisy today, but the food was good and service good too
Superb meal, excellent service very nice people thank you very much for looking after a lone traveller Thank you
Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, couldn’t fault the service as we weren’t made to feel rushed and must have put my partner in a good mood as he proposed to me the following day!
Delicious breakfast and brilliant you now have the children’s breakfast menu and colouring
Delicious freshly prepared breakfast, lovely waiting staff and pleasant environment.
A wonderful way to celebrate a birthday surrounded by all my family with great food and outstanding service
A Cote visit is always a pleasure and to have ravioli which I love with goats cheeses was a delightful surprise. I hope this will be on future menus. Such lovely pasta. You have linguine with fish but I am not a lover of fish so this new item on the menu will be a future in my case.
Good food, very good service, a nice evening. Thank you.
It was fine and we enjoyed the whole experience. We shall return. Joyce Olson
Left before ordering, ordered drinks upon arrival which didn't arrive, waited over 20 minutes still no one came to take our order, so started to leave. Its only when we got up to leave did someone come over. Very very poor.
My only criticism is that the set menu on their website included Zucchini Fritti which I particularly like but when we got there it was not on it. I sisn't like the other set menu starters so had the smoke salmon which was good but pushed my bill up higher. Other than that excellent restaurant.
visited Dorking Cote this evening with my mother in law for her birthday. We were given a very gracious welcome, the food was delicious as always.... as a surprise the end of the meal a chocolate fondant dessert with a candle plus 4 glasses of bubbles were delivered to our table! (complimentary) The birthday girl 87 years young! beamed with happiness as everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you so much to the manager for turning a Tuesday birthday into something extra special. Well done to you all..... 5 STARS!
Enjoyed the food, service a bit slow after initial welcoming.
As always a most enjoyable, tasty meal at Dorking Cote
very good meal excellent service by people we knew . a truly enjoyable afternoon.
Great,. as usual. There is nothing more to say, lovely people and good food and atmosphere.
We enjoyed an excellent lunch . Our friend in a wheelchair was well looked after. Thank you and well done!
As always the food, staff and atmosphere was excellent. We are always assured of a friendly welcome and in fact we had reservations at another restaurant in Dorking but looked at their menu and decided we would have a better experience at Cote!
Very enjoyable meal and excellent service. Creme caramel was excellent.
Never disappointed going to Dorking Cote - fantastic friendly staff and amazing food
Nice location but food was mediocre. Olives were poor with the stones crushed inside so difficult to eat, steak was tough. Spinach was flavourless. Dessert was good but can you fail at ice cream? I love Cote but Dorking was a little bit of a let down.
Food and service was top quality and enjoyed the whole experience.
A warm welcome with delicious food and tasty drinks.. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great place with fantastic food.
We are regular visitors. And as always we were not disappointed. We will be back!
Another great meal with warm & friendly service. Always guaranteed to please.
First visit to the Dorking Côte. Food as always good and dependable...very lovely service too, but the noise levels rather high for the four of us. Lots of hard surfaces reflect the noise back.
The service was excellent and the food was as good as always
Very good service. Helpful smiley waitress Enjoyable food. Will go again.
It was OK except for the service, which was slow, and the lack of availability of lobster which featured on the menu as available.
Lovely meal as always. Main courses particularly good tonight Rissotto exceptional. Beautiful Asparagus.
We spent a lovely evening with our family at Cote Dorking tonight. The youngsters really loved the Lobster Frites ( main course) which was beautifully cooked and presented. The staff go out of their way to make us feel welcome and although the restaurant was full we weren’t kept waiting through all three courses. Cote is a jewel in Dorking’s Crown!
Service was brisk but polite. Food was a little on the cool side but they were very busy.
A most enjoyable evening, the food was superb and the staff were very attentive. One of my friends has to have gluten free food and was presented with a special menu which was extremely comprehensive and she commented on the bread which she said was the nicest she had tasted. We both had the crab mayonnaise, she had the gluten free bread whereas mine was served with “normal” bread.
Always fantastic service and welcoming, we have never had a bad experience and find Cote in Dorking a delight
We have just been to Cote in Dorking for our regular monthly "get together" with friends. The food, wine and especially service were as good as ever and we were excellently looked after.
Excellent service, great food - what's not to like ….
Felt very rushed not a nice experience. The restaurant was not even full or about to close. It seemed a problem that we needed time to make our choices. Ok we were chatting but that’s why we went out.
My friend & I were celebrating our approaching birthdays & this is the 1st time we had been to Cote in Dorking, as Cote Reigate is more local to us. The standard of food & the helpfulness of the staff is excellent in both & we had a lovely evening. The chef very kindly changed the sauce used in the fish stew from a chilli tomato based sauce to a creamy white wine & leek, which was much more to our liking & the stew was delicious, with a lovely generous mixture of seafood. Followed up with strawberry pavlova & a Baileys coffee, we were very replete. Thank you for a lovely meal & the complimentary birthday 'Kir Royales'. We will come again.
Tasty food with lots to choice from. A great place to eat with friendly staff. Lovely wines and cocktails.
Delicious breakfast, excellent service from the professional, helpful and friendly staff
As always a good experience. Great food and lovely staff.
We enjoyed some very nice food. The service was pleasant snd helpful.
Nice supper,excellent value (including a free cocktail and bottle of house Rose) and as ever lovely service.
Very good as usual. First visit for breakfast. Thank you
delicious imaginative food, excellent cheerful service, comfortable pleasant surroundings and a reasonable price.
Delicious lobster and a risotto verte Made a lovely supper this evening. A warm welcome and good service made the evening! Thank you Katarina for another lovely meal at Dorking Cote
Really lovely evening, pleasant staff and food was very delicious.
The food was generally good. The Negroni cocktail was poor. Predominantly Campari, no ice, no garnish and a long time coming! The area was very cool. Clearly there was a staff shortage that night and we seemed to wait for everything and it was difficult to attract the attention of the server. Unfortunate as we are regular diners with you and had taken friends that evening.
