Cote is my favourite restaurant in Esher. The staff are very attentive and there is a lovely ambience. The food is beautifully cooked and presented.

Esher is always a good restaurant to eat at. It's one of the best 'Cotes' in the area, with their charming staff, they are consistent and nothing is too much for them. An extremely good eating experience.

We have dined many time at Cote Esher another lovely evening. One small criticism the prawn gratinee was not hot enough..so the butter hadn't melted.

Reliably great quality French food - I come for the Sunday Roast chicken and struggle to leave without creme brûlée - always great, friendly service - it's not life changing but it always delivers exactly what it says on the tin.

Very good choice of food. Friendly staff. Perhaps my only criticism is their Sauvignon Blanc. Very bland and almost tasteless. Will try s red next time!!

Excellent food as we expect from Côte. Pity understanding what is required for lactose intolerance was so difficult... Also gratinated potatoes 'held' were not replaced until we asked then charged

Most enjoyable supper! We had the early deal and it was delicious. Served beautifully and the young efficient waitress even made my husband an iced coffee which wasn't on the menu! So a delightful experience and very reasonable.

Although the food was tasty, both our starters and main courses were not especially hot. In fact my starter and main course was rather luke warm. I had calimari and duck. I'm not sure we will re visit for an evening meal any time in the near future. This is a shame as I feel cote has a very good reputation and the restaurant was really busy which is always a good sign, but none the less, we were a little disappointed as it was for my birthday.

As always good food and service - but menu needs updating- been around too long please change/ amend. The starter was only warm (not hot) plus no bread offered!! The other comment- courses too rushed - we want to enjoy the food and surroundings- it's not a race.

The staff at Cote, Esher were excellent and really enhanced the meal. I took my wife for her birthday and they helped make the meal very special for her with a welcome glass of fizz and a candle in her dessert to surprise/embarass her suitably! We would definitely go back in the future.

There were six of us plus a one-year old dining early at 18.00 on a Saturday. The food was very tasty and well cooked and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. The staff were friendly and were particularly good and helpful with our toddler.

Lovely venue, good service, local parking. Would go again. One slight issue for me is that they add a service charge, I would rather tip, they would have done better on this occasion.

A midweek meal at Cote in Esher was enjoyable. The food was good, with the exception of the pork that was too heavily seasoned with black pepper. The restaurant was quieter than at the week ends and therefore quite relaxing.

Really good service and lovely food. My colleague's tuna was a bit undercooked for his liking so if you choose the tuna nicoise that might be worth commenting on when you order if you also don't like it too pink.

Both my steak and plate were served cold, surely it is not too much to heat plates before serving, and then to bring them to the table promptly, The praline crêpe was tough and even the replacement after complaining was tougher! Probably better used to make leather shoes than eat! Was not up to the standard that we have enjoyed at the Kingston branch

Waitress changed off shift so lost continuity of service. However service and food were v good. It is my grandchildren's favourite straight restaurant and we will be back. Hoevet, still think the water glass thickness of glass is to thin as pn her last birthday visit pieces broke off into a 5 year old mouth

Air conditioning didn't appear to be working in the half of the restaurant we were in. Front sliding doors were open but it was very hot. Food and service were excellent as usual but as it was so hot we left before pudding

Yet again had a great meal at Cote in Esher. We tried the Steak au Poivre (on the June menu) and it was one of the best I have had for a while (and I have had a lot of steaks). Service was top notch as usual and my 93 year old Mum enjoyed it too.
