The staff are amazing. Shame to be over charged on the bill for a desert we didn't order and was brought out as a birthday surprise. The set menu great value the egg walnut bacon salad was piled up way too much. The steak was perfect the chips were slightly under fried and my side of beans were so over cooked they looked opague reminded me of school dinners
We had a very enjoyable meal at Cote. We really appreciated the complimentary Bellini’s in celebration of our anniversary. The food was really lovely - we especially enjoyed our main courses - and well priced. The service was fantastic and we did not feel rushed at all. The staff were very conscientious and polite. Overall we had a really great time! Thank you.
As always, another lovely evening at Côte Brasserie Esher. The food is always reliable & it’s a great place to go for breakfast, lunch or supper. Thanks to Chris and the team for looking after us so well again!
Don't know what to say ... met up with friends everything was perfect, as usual in all Cote restaurants I visit, but Esher is my favourite.
Great waiter named Aidan Very attentive. Best waiter so far over the years!! Pls cook green beans al dente. Only criticism an extra bottle of wine added to the bill but this was quickly rectified
Everything it was amazing, Cristobal he was wonderful. We recommend this place We enjoyed it a lot there. The prawns they were really good .
Very good food and service ... Will definitely come back again :).. Will definitely recommend to family, friends and colleagues. Keep up the hard work :).
A very meal discreetly served and cooked beautifully. My friends enjoyed their steak and lamb. Lovely vegetables.
Good food, but they wouldn’t amend anything on the menu for us. Definitely worth checking out with a small group or friends. Great seating outside or inside!
Good quality but small portions. Attentive service and a good menu but left still feeling hungry. Atmosphere was good and it was quiet and a good choice of tables available when I dined with my partner. Shame to go somewhere to eat and leave feeling unsatisfied
The tastiest scallops, delicious duck and a fantastic raspberry creme brulee together with a beautiful and yummy complimentary rhubarb martini all served by friendly and professional staff - what better way to celebrate our anniversary.
Normally a good venue for meeting friends - but this time a wrongly placed order meant that two of the group were served, while the third was served a hot side order but not his main dish. That did not arrive for almost 20 minutes As for the food, a steak was over cooked, as was a sea bream. The third was proclaimed “OK, I suppose”. Although the waitress was very apologetic, this visit was nowhere as good as usual. A great disappointment. *to cover the misorder/delay, no charge was made for a glass of wine and three coffees.
The Manager and our server Lindsay were brilliant. Very attentive and couldn't fault a thing apart from my pork belly which i nearly always have was a bit too salty. My son who is now 12 loved his Birthday experience at Cote Esher.
This is not the first time we have been here, but it was not the best meal or service. We both had the duck from the mother's Day menu. One looked fresh and juicy and the other was over cooked and dry. The waiter did not seem very interested in his job and was coughing and sneezing throughout the service. Not ideal with food around. We will not be put off by this one bad experience,but if it happens again?
Excellent! Great service, good value for money. Well definitely go again. Had the minute steak and chips with garlic butter I recommend it for a quick meal.
Really good service team here, it makes all the difference too, attentive & informative they complete the experience, the food as ever was really good, the Crab Bisque special was wonderful..
Great service and fantastic staff. Food was excellent and recommended
Best meal out for ages. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Pleasant and friendly staff.
Such great food and truly amazing service. This is a perfect place for a lovely, lazy birthday lunch. We will be coming back again. Also, gluten and dairy free diners taken care of extremely well.
An excellent evening with friends and a very good meal off the new weekday set menu. Your rib eye steaks are terrific - and the welcome we received from the team in Esher was friendly, professional and much appreciated.
Consistently nice. Girls night out and we all enjoyed our meal and thought the service was good.
Lovely relaxed dining. Yasmin our waitress made us feel very welcome and did a fab job. Thank you for another lovely evening.
The Food was delicious. Service excellent but we find it a bit noisy in the ESHER restaurant but we will definitely be regular customers there.
Very nice to meet the new manager who took care of us. Would have been nce if my wife's expresso coffee had arrived at the same time as my dessert as I was not having coffee and she not having a dessert.
We booked for breakfast online. We had the set breakfast, there was a good choice available, nice ambiance and the staff lovely. Definitely worth a visit!
We came to Cote for a family lunch to celebrate my Daughters 18th birthday........ The service was very attentive, prompt, there were staff insight at all times. The service timings were spot on, they made a special fuss of the birthday girl... overall we all had the best time and this is partly due to the service, food and staff ! so thank you all at Cote...

A lovely birthday breakfast - the staff were lovely to my daughter and her friends.
Food and service were excellent, however we were seated right next to the area where the staff prepare the hot drinks etc. and the noise was very loud at times especially when they were re-stocking the crockery. Will ask to be seated elsewhere in future.
First time visiting and we had high hopes, we don't eat out often but it was our 10 year wedding anniversary. We were offered drinks and aperitifs when we sat down, so went for basic bread and saucisson. When the (3rd different) waitress served it she also took our main order, which subsequently arrived when we were only 5 minutes into the aperitif. We were obviously annoyed but she insisted on squashing it onto our table, but we'd rather have that then it sitting under a hot lamp for 20 mins. It was just bad planning but should be basic protocol for a restaurant - don't call a main before the table had started its entree. We were in and out in an hour, it felt rushed without us wanting it to be. We were given two free drinks but it didn't detract from such a basic error. Ironically, the pudding then took 15 mins, for a pre made mousse from the fridge.... Won't be rushing back.
First time at this Côte and enjoyed it! Food was great and so was the service! I’m a loyal customer and visit lots of restaurants and always enjoy the experience! Some speciality wines would not go a miss.
Thank you for a wonderful evening. You made me feel very special for my birthday celebrations. Much appreciated the Complemetary bottle of fizz and we will be back very soon.
Excellent food and excellent service Noise levels were too high but nothing unusual in most restaurants. Little bit slow between courses but not in a hurry so no concern.
Always a good experience at Cote! Amazing service and great food, cooked to perfection at a very reasonable price. I was saying to my partner there’s a reason why Cote aren’t struggling in a competitive market...Keep up the good work!
As ever, great quality, service and value. Thanks again for good breakfast.
Very good as usual and the food,drink and service was spot on.
The restaurant suddenly became very busy and the staff were a bit overwhelmed. However the food was good and we will certainly go back again probably next week as I think that this was a one off.
Very welcoming staff and pleasant all around. Food was delicious and delivered in an appropriate manner. Staff were very attentive with good knowledge of what they were serving.
Great lunch as usual, great gluten free choices. The other clientele was quite noisy for some of our group but a good time was had by all.
Great food, great service! Beautiful set up will defo come back
Esher Cote a great place to eat, the restaurant is lively, the staff happy and helpful and the food is excellent. A good choice of wine at prices for every occasion.
As on previous occasions, a very nice meal with good service. The Cote Brasserie chain is always reliable, wherever they are and we have been to many.
2nd time we have been for breakfast and what a beautiful breakfast we had x
Our waiter was fantastic. We are regulars to the chain and live the food service, however there was clearly something different in food quality with this experience. Particularly the celeriac mash I was meant to have with the set steak was in fact potato mash. That’s ideal for me, except that it was extroadinarily bad, cold, lumpy, pre-cooked, heated up mash! Really goes against your usual quality and reputation. The couple next to us had the same thing. On a personal taste point, we went to cote because we love what you normally do, we didn’t like the set menu which we found restricting. Petals on the napkin was a nice touch though.
Excellent friendly and efficient service. My Breton chicken a little dry but guess that is why you offer sauces with it! Also a little noisy but a race day so to be expected. Ambience otherwise good.
Excellent food . Friendly helpful staff. Very good choice on menu .
As usual, food and service good except for burnt pissaladier, which the manager took care of. We enjoy Cote for it's consistency and menus, always easy to find something to enjoy. The complimentary cocktail was special too.
Excellent food and service. Good ambience, helpful waiters and excellent food. Great care for coeliac dietary requirements we felt quite confident all was well prepared. Thank you.
Visited for my birthday - as I adore the fillet steak. It was such a treat! Teamed with frites and a tomato salad - perfection! They went out of their way to sing me happy birthday - which my friend deemed "mandatory". Would recommend.
One of the worst dining experiences I had in a long time. This Cote restaurant used to be very good and our go to brunch choice. Having sat there for the best part of 20 minutes without anyone taking our order (it was half full), you agreed to take my wife's choice from the brunch menu. The waiter returned 10 minutes later to say if I wanted brunch, I couldn't have poached eggs with my egg royale but it would need to be scrambled or fried. I questioned this as you've either got eggs or not! They then said the kitchen wasn't pleased about the doing a brunch order after 1 and we had to point out if we'd been served in a timely manner it wouldn't have been a problem. We then waited an hour for our food. Everyone else was coming and going having been served and eaten. After chasing twice, our food finally arrived. My duck main was cold, some of it overcooked and my wife's eggs were like hard boiled eggs with the salmon slices hard at the side as they'd obviously been out of the fridge for a while. An absolute disgrace. Pull your socks up.
First class service with usual high standard of cuisine. One of the best restaurant group of its type. Use their chain regularly and always of a high standard.
