A pleasant experience - good value food and friendly service. Côte Dorking is well situated with easy parking in St Martin's Walk). The tables are sufficiently spaced so that you don't feel crowded and the staff are helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. We enjoyed a well-priced and good tasting bottle of wine with our steaks.

It was ok. Couldn’t swap menus which was annoying. Why can’t you just charge the higher priced menu? Service was a little slow. Had to ask twice for water.

I dined with a friend at Cote in Dorking, having been at Chelsea all day. We were both looking forward to a relaxing meal. Cote was superb. The restauarant was very busy at 7.30 pm but we were greeted immediately on arrival and shown to our table. We had water on the table immediately and ordered our choice of drinks. we chose a 2 course menu and coffee and it was delicious and very hot which is a nice change. Cote is our favourite restaurant locally and we will definitely return.

The breakfast at Cote Brasserie was delicious! I enjoyed the French breakfast with delicate toasted brioche and very tasty boudin noir and field mushroom, perfect scrambled eggs and crispy streaky bacon. My husband chose the vegetarian breakfast which included a lovely veggie sausage, soft and full of flavour, tomato, mushroom and avocado. Altogether a perfect experience with attentive and friendly staff.

This is a charming restaurant in the centre of Dorking - one of the most attractive of all the Cotes we have visited. We went for Sunday lunch which was a most enjoyable experience. As ever we were greeted immediately we entered the restaurant and shown to a table without any problem. Service was good and friendly. throughout the meal. Crab mayonnaise and a garlic bread to start followed by a chicken and walnut salad and sea bass for me. How very thoughtful to have the mayonnaise served on the side rather than over the fish. This suited me as I only like a very small amount of mayonnaise. No desserts this time but some very acceptable decaff coffee. Overall a most enjoyable experience and we will be returning.

Excellent service and good food. Always a successful meal out at Cote. It was my husbands birthday and they allowed me to bring my own cake with no problem - quite rare nowadays but it meant a lot.

Disappointed with my main meal on the Set Menu - it was dryish and not very appetising, usually eat at Cote in Cobham which I have never had any complaints about.

Easy to book, with great food, and good service. A little noisy but I suppose inevitable as it is popular. Service on bill automatically whereas I prefer to give cash to say thank you.

Friendly welcome, restaurant was very quiet but sometimes staff hard to find. My coffee was virtually cold and had to take it to the serving counter. Tuna rillettes was actually tuna mayonnaise, quite pleasant but not rillettes. I live in France and know what rillettes should be like. I’ve had better meals and service here before. A little disappointing.

Food, drinks & service reliably good. Minor point but as a regular I wish the sauce was always properly warm to thaw the frozen berry dessert - sometimes it is perfect, but more often not.

Standard Cote reliability. A little off the pace for remembering to bring gluten-free bread; had to be reminded otherwise no grumbles. Always know you'll get consistency wherever you are with Cote

As a hard critic of food professionally dining at a chain well known name they served amazing food that had been beautifully and artistically presented, the service was brilliant making the whole experience rather exquisite. I requested a silent area of the restaurant to sit with my partner and my request was met perfectly which is extremely rare. Overall experience was 10/10

Had the lunch set menu today, very good value although the bread served with my starter was a little on the hard side and somewhat difficult to eat. Service good, friendly staff. Would recommend.
