Overall good, manager welcoming and friendly on arrival. Apologised when starters cane out late. All fine but reason for less than perfect rating was waitress we had. Tried to take away wine glasses when wine bottle not yet empty, forgot to bring more water when asked, and then was more intent on chatting with other staff than looking after us.impossible to catch her eye to get bill, had to flag down another waiter. Food was fab.
The full Englush brunch at Côte is always excellent. Staff are very friendly and the ambience is delightful! We're regular customers and it's always a treat to be there!
Lovely setting and sat outside in the sunshine. We were greeted with smiles, prompt service and a friendly waitress. The food was superb, the coffee excellent and although the restaurant was busy, we were left to enjoy our meal and not rushed. This restaurant has become one of our favourites.

Always good food, correctly served, nice atmosphere, friendly staff who seem to work hard. Coffee serving is sometimes a bit slow, but that is due to the popularity of the site and the fact that people want fresh brewed coffee. Same in most coffee shops. I would recommend Cote for a meal and certainly for a breakfast.
Main courses are small. Good atmosphere. The staff are amazing hard working and friendly. I'm not to happy about the 12.5 service charge I know it says in the small print that the staff get the benefit, but do they? I would like to choose the amount I tip.

Excellent value 3 course early evening deal,Lovely restaurant and friendly, attentive service! I enjoyed for less than £15,breaded languistines,seafood linguine and peach crumble and vanilla ice cream.Yum!
As ever, nothing but praise for Cote, in whichever city or town we happen to be in and find one. We are never ever disappointed.
Lunched today at Cote Brasserie Farnham and, as usual they did not let us down. Great food, very tasty and imaginative. Staff very efficient and friendly.
The restaurant was busier than we expected for a Sunday morning but the service was efficient and friendly and the food was great. The breakfast is excellent value for money less than £10 for a cooked breakfast of your choice a round of toast a hot drink and a juice, you can't beet it.
The only really good thing about this visit was the coffee at the end! Actually we had the anchovy flat bread starter which was very good but the rest of the meal was mediocre. We decided not to bother having a dessert which for us is unheard of!
A delightful meal & the Kir Royale was an excellent starter! I chose the lamb was was beautifully cooked at Medium rare & vert tender.
Very good lunchtime meal. We both had crab mayonnaise with cucumber, very refreshing. Ann had Breton fish stew very good. I had veal schnitzel, also excellent and we shared a portion of nice frites. We couldn't manage a dessert, but took coffee. The free Kir Royale went down well at the start.
We received the good and courteous service customary at this restaurant. The breakfast options were good and in our opinion, better than others on offer in Farnham and elsewhere.
Excellent food, well served and in a stylish restaurant. The complimentary glasses of Kir Royale was an added bonus. We would recommend Cote to all. Lee & Peter
It wasn't a busy evening (Saturday 3rd June) at the Farnham branch but got busier as the evening progressed. Service was good at first, but we did wait longer than usual for our main courses. The 2 Kir Royales, part of the loyalty deal were a nice touch and the food for my part was very good- crab mayonnaise, steak frites and praline crepes with banana. However, my husband who does a lot of cooking thought the steak au poivre had far too much pepper on it.
Lovely as ever. Always a tasty brekkie, and super service. Highly recommend booking if going for brunch on a Saturday as the brasserie is consistently busy.
The service was good and the price is good. The Sirloin steak was not as nice as had elsewhere but was reasonable. Overall a nice evening.
Food was good as always at Côte. Staff were courteous, efficient and polite but lacked warmth, enthusiasm and conviviality. The dessert menu when presented was stained with dried on food. These should be discarded at the first sign of uncleanliness. The silver tray on which the bill was presented was sticky to the touch with a noticeable coffee stain. I will return to Côte as the food is always good but it is disappointing that these other attentions to detail are lacking. These deficiencies are only evident at Farnham. Other branches at Soho and Guildford do a lot better at this part of service.
Really nice restaurant with a great atmosphere in the lovely Lion and Lamb Yard, good food from an excellent lunchtime menu, it was great value & the service was very good.
Food was great as usual but service very slow unfortunately due to inexperienced and untrained waiter. We explained the situation to the manger who was very understanding and the service charge fee was waived as a result. It's always a treat to eat here but better training of inexperienced staff would be advised.
We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday on Saturday night. We hadn't visited this restaurant before but when I booked I asked for a quiet table. It was busy but they gave us a table in an alcove which worked really well. There were flowers on the table and gave us a glass of kir royale to welcome us. Service was excellent and the food very good, all 3 courses. Would certainly go back.
Excellent speedy service and very helpful waitress. The starters were very filling and the mains were delicious. I had calamari and belly pork and my wife had the goat cheese tartrine and the plaice.
Visited with my husband and daughter for her birthday. Food excellent as always as was the service. Lovely touch was the candle in my daughter chocolate fondant and staff singing happy birthday.
Côte Farnham is always "buzzy " the staff are welcoming ,friendly and efficient and the food never disappoints. We went for the early dinner menu and couldn't believe the value for money. We all loved it. Will definitely be going again and again!
Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. One fish meal wasn't quite right but was changed no problem and not charged for. Not rushed to decide on meals, would definitely go again.
Meet with some friends for lunch. We all had great food with good service from friendly staff, it will definitely be on our list of eating places to return to.
Delicious meal of pork belly followed by a chocolate pudding in the beautiful setting of the lion and lamb courtyard in Farnham. Staff are friendly and attentive - lovely evening.
Polite staff, great food and wine at reasonable prices. Liked the decor and ambience. Really minor comment would be could the waiting staff wipe away crumbs etc between courses but that's a tiny issue
This was a very busy evening, a large party up stairs plus a smaller party in the side restaurant yet the staff took everything in their stride and with a cheerful smile. Yes, there may have been a little longer than normal to wait between courses, never the less a very good evening with good friendly service and tasty food. Always a good venue.
Enjoyed a lovely birthday meal with my husband - had the best sea bass I have had for a very long time - the staff were very attentive and helpful. A very pleasant evening
Enjoyed yet Another excellent meal at cote. first class attentive service from front of house and our waitress highly recommended to all will return soon
Went to Cote Farnham for breakfast with my family. Food was excellent especially the full cooked breakfast with toast, tea and orange juice. All for under £10. Attentive service and friendly atmosphere. Will be back.
My friend and I had a lovely lunch at Cote today. The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. We are looking forward to going again soon.
The service was good as always and the food was okay (we ate from the £10.95 for 2 courses menu) but not as good as I have had at Cote. The seafood linguine would have benefited from rather more, and rather tastier, sauce and the table water was not cool enough. I also had to ask for Parmesan which is highly unusual as normally it would be offered with a pasta dish. But everything else was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
food was great and the staff were really nice. thanks for a great evening. had fish pie and fish cakes and were both enjoyed by my guest and I.
My husband, myself and two of our friends had an excellent meal at Cotes, Farnham on Friday evening. Staff were very helpful and the service and food was first class.
Love going to cote Farnham the Manager his team and all the staff are the best always tidy always pleasant so helpful the food is good.
Booked for my birthday using the link provided to get the kir free drink on arrival. When the bill came it we had been charged for them, they took of no problem, but a little embarrassing. Food was slow to come out and there were no mussels!!! No peas or chips came out with my grandsons food, and when they came they were not hot, but that was OK as he is a child Service was very friendly and waiting team very pleasant. Would use again though as food was good
Breakfast with a friend, while off work. Very nice food and service good, it was quieter inside today as most customers were outside in the sunshine
I use Cote Farnham and other elsewhere. They are always a great place to visit. Typical French Brasserie atmosphere. The is always good and the service excellent, though the last visit it wasn't as excellent as it usually is. Bit slow with a side arriving half way through when we were eating our mains. Also they good in todays world have a much better range of Gins.
Always reliable. Good food, friendly service. The best place to eat in Farnham. We have been visiting since it opened and despite being busy, it is fab.
Great atmosphere, Lovely welcome at the door and friendly staff and service add t that a good standard of food and you have the great night we at at Farnham Cote
Food very good, especially the hot fries, waitress attentive and professional and the weather was lovely.....will be back! We also sat in a nice quiet corner which was a bonus.
Slow service at times but food came quickly. Not too bad in terms of pricing, deals and offers available. Was wrongly charged for one item but quickly rectified. Overall good visit and would recommend.
Service was excellent as always but the full English breakfast which was delicious could have been a bit warmer. Mushrooms were nearly cold. Must say though this is unusual so we will be back.
Enjoyed going to Cote restaurant farnham. The week days set menu is excellent value. On separate occasions, my friends and i ordered the Poulet grille from the main menu, Its a tasty dish but we've found the mushroom sauce is a little too salty. My favourite desert is the creme caramel.
We go to Cote in Farnham fairly often as it maintains a consistently high standard . The starter portions are generous and the wines are better value for money than their competitors .
Trying to alter my online reservation was difficult. I had to cancel my existing reservation and rebook for a later date but would not accept my birthday code.

Good but usually excellent in the evening. Sunday lunch menu not as good as general lunch. Chicken could have been cooked a bit more and hotter otherwise great. Lovely staff
Smiling faces on arrival; a great ambience created by the French restaurant design; excellent food - the Poulet Grille was delicious; friendly service; and a delightful wine. A great combination.
