Dorking was as great as Horsham. The usual lovely food. Only issue with GF menu we had a separate waiter to take the GF order which was a bit odd and slightly embarrassing for the GF member of our party. Do you think you could not single people out like that.. and what is with the GF Flag in the food - do we want the whole world to know!! Otherwise, lovely atmosphere and great food - even the GF. Thanks.
The Cotes in Dorking is really worth a visit. It is ideally located for parking and only a short walk to arrive. The staff there are very professional and polite. The food prepared and cooked from our choice on the menu was presented to our table in good time and delivered hot. This particular Cote had a good chef today as the food was well cooked enjoyed by all our party of four.
A superb restaurant with helpful and very friendly service. Lovely ambience and wonderful food. An outstanding restaurant. My family and I dine there very regularly.
It was my first visit and I thoroughly enjoyed it - the food was excellent and the service prompt and friendly. The décor and atmosphere were also very pleasing. My only disappointment was that my companion told me she had been given a free bottle of wine on her first visit but when I went on the website to register my interest in that there was a message that that wasn't happening at the moment! Otherwise, I have no complaints, only compliments.
The six of us chose a variety of dishes, all were delicious using quality ingredients & attractively presented. Our waitress was extremely efficient, pleasant and helpful. We will return.
The excellent staff made our visit special. They engaged with us and shared in our laughter. The food and drink were up to the usual Cote standard. We greatly enjoyed our Cote experience.
Food exceptional and very tasty and beautifully cooked. Service very good and friendly. Best food ever had in Dorking area. Certainly be visiting again. Probably next week.
Excellent, good service, excellent food, What's not to like?! We would go back straight away if we lived in the area! We are from Cheshire, and just visiting the area!
As usual we were greeted on arrival with a smile and courtesy. All the staff were attentive to our needs, and the food was excellent especially the "roasted loin of veal"
The restaurant was clean and the table and cutlery were spotless. Very attentive staff and good service. The food was good and the steaks cooked as requested.
Very nice decor. Lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious & the pre 7:00pm menu very good value for money. The service was also good, with very friendly staff. We will be back!
Efficient service, always a good selection of great food. Well presented, staff attentive. We will come back to Dorking as it is a good location
Busy Friday evening with a nice buzz around the place. Good prompt service. Recommend the salmon on ratatouille and chocolate torte with hazelnuts. Relaxed atmosphere and good food
We dined on the fixed price 10 year anniversary menu which was very nice and good value for money. Glass of champagne and 3 good courses for £27.50. I especially liked the orange crepe with flaming Grand Marnier. A Saturday night in August was not very busy. Service was attentive but we were never rushed or pressured.
As usual a wonderful meal and great service at Côte Dorking . Lady manager was so welcoming and attentive . Relaxed and quiet atmosphere. Can't fault this restaurant. The best in Dorking ! Back again very soon . Thank you
Lovely food. Friendly service. Took a little while to wait for the bill but when it came it was great value. Nice Breton cider too. 😊
Very friendly welcome and attentive service. Food up to usual high standard. We had the July special and a bottle of the recommended wine which was very good.
We have been here several times and the food is always fabulous, the service is efficient and the waiters/waitresses are superb and the atmosphere lovely! I would definitely recommend eating here!
Great service, delicious food and most importantly for me there was a varied choice of gluten free food. I felt like I didn't have to worry about cross contamination or mistakes as the manager took my order and my meal arrived with a gluten free flag so that gave me peace of mind.
We were given a very warm welcome, served quickly, and enjoyed the food and the good value. We will be back again next month if not sooner.
Excellent service... along with excellent food.... good atmosphere... location good... easy parking... worth a visit and Dorking is great for a look round... will definitely go back
Food was very good as it always is. Service a little slow at lunch time normally it is very good when we go in the evening.
Excellent service, value, food. Always consistent. We usually go for the steak frites on the special menu, while there is always a good selection of other dishes. Langoustine delicious.
Excellent service, food and value for money. Would recommend thoroughly and really appreciated the fact that the birthday offer covered all eight people in my party.
Not very busy but took a long time to get a main and dessert. The minute steak was not as thin as usual in other cote but tender enough.
Went for my wife's 40th birthday celebration !!Fantastic staff and food out of this world !! And the prices are very reasonable and lovely setting.
Enjoyed another enjoyable meal at Cotes, Dorking. The meal lived up to expectations, staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive, couldn't be faulted. The ambience and restaurant made for a relaxing experience.
We are regular diners at Cote Dorking and as usual tonight we ate well and had brilliant service from the exceptionally talented staff who we have got to know quite well !!
The staff , and all the food we have had are always excellent, we enjoy our visits, and highly recommend to our friends, parking no problem
Lovely food, excellent service, great ambience. Have been to Cote in Dorking on many occasions and will continue to visit. Particularly like the lunchtime to early evening deal. Thank you
We really enjoyed our meal and the staff were very helpful in allowing us to sit at table of our choice, although we knew it was for a restricted time as had been prebooked , we did appreciate being able to sit outside
Lovely restaurant, very quick service and brilliant staff! Had a very nice night and would recommend to any family or couple looking for a meal out!
Love going to Cote in Dorking. Had Calamari to start with followed by steak and delicious chocolate fondant to finish. Really tasty dishes and the staff were attentive and friendly.
This wasn't a great experience. Felt the waiters rushed the orders and didn't get a chance to view the options as my friend was late. Also was seated outside and at 8.56 got told we had to come in as residents locally say we had to be inside by 9pm. At no point in the evening were we told this so we had to rush finishing our meal in order to move. When I asked why we hadn't been given advanced warning was told by two waiters that they had when clearly they didn't. The whole experience was not satisfying apart from good food the service was awful and I would not recommend this!
Breakfast is lovely and at a great price. We had the hot breakfast with a soft drink and coffee coming to £20 for both of us. Always a real treat!
The food was good, service a bit slow. They accommodated our dietary needs well. We would go back again probably. Not my favourite restaurant in Dorking but not bad.
Despite the restaurant being busy the service was good and the food was prompt and freshly cooked. We all ordered something different and all enjoyed our breakfast.
The food and service were very good and the restaurant was nice and cool on a very warm evening. The "specials" offer very good value for money and have a good selection. I had a chicken and walnut salad and the chicken was tender and nicely charred and there were plenty of walnuts and avocado. The chocolate mousse for dessert was delicious. The staff are attentive but we didn't feel hurried.
Excellent evening for birthday treat . Most attentive staff , good atmosphere, nice & cool on a very hot evening last week. Will be back
Good food as usual but took us 2 hours to complete our meal when restaurant was half full. Too slow between courses and not sure why.
Overall a very good meal, only spoilt by chips for my grand daughters meal appearing 10 min after the main course was delivered to the table and not getting an apology.
Had a lovely evening, really enjoyed the food. But again was a lovely experience. Staff were very polite and the food was amazing. Will be going again very soon 👌🏼
Unfortunately we picked a very busy evening (Thursday!) and it took far too long to receive our food. The waitress was very apologetic and very attentive, but that didn't recompense for the long delay (nor the free coffees we wouldn't have ordered any way). It was the first outing out for my son whose wife had just had their third child and he was suffering from sleep deprivation. Waiting 45 minutes for food was not what he needed! Fortunately the cod in Savoie ham was excellent and much appreciated by both of us. Had we been given our creme brulees free of charge it would have left us with a better feeling that you had really taken on board that you had not coped well and did not have enough staff to manage.
Easy to book and as always staff at Cote were brilliant and helpful. Our meals were served quickly and as always the cuisine was up to its normal high standard
We had prompt attentive service in a lovely setting allowing al fresco dinning. We will be back for coffee and pastries. Maybe even for lunch also.
Excellent meal and service. Only disappointment was when we both ordered the same starter only one was available. Oh, and the other one was that the substitute vichyssoise (cold) was rather lacking in taste - my wife reckoned the veggies has not been sweated long enough before cooking and blending.
The staff were a bit over zealous. We just wanted to talk. Food was great and I can't fault it otherwise. Will go again though.
Very modern and new feel to the restaurant which is quite large. It was almost empty and so really did lack atmosphere, although this did mean service was very good. The food was excellent but a little overpriced, especially as vegetables had to be paid for separately. Unless you go for the early evening set menu, a three course dinner with wine is going to cost at least £30 a head. Service is included which is something I prefer to decide on.
Food excellent quality and value as always. Service was fine and we hope that the staff do actually receive the gratuities. Busy as usual with lots of ladies who lunch.
A very pleasant quiet lunch with my wife. Very good food and service as always. My wife was disappointed that the Crab and Avocado was not available neither was the Crab dish on the main menu. But we still found many other dishes to satisfy us. Neil Stuart
