The special 3-course menu was excellent. The welcome was very friendly but the waiter could have smiled once or twice! Very efficient though and will certainly be back.
Lovely food and service. Special starter was delicious - like a prawn cocktail but with creme fraiche dressing. Gorgeous!
Enjoyable evening with lovely attentive staff. Great for a casual evening meal
Authentic French taste. Fresh-tasting and plentiful fish stew. Nice thin fries, tiny flavoursome peas. Classic desserts. Friendly attentive service. Warm lively atmosphere. Interesting waiters.
Thank you for the complimentary drinks to celebrate my wifes birthday.
As usual the food and service was excellent. All the better for having Breton Fish Stew back on the menu.
Bit slow in taking order after that all was plain sailing and the dish ordered was 100%
Excellent as always! Staff very accommodating even though restaurant was busy.
Good food served quickly but too noisy.....why thumping music ? Thank
Brilliant food, wine and Excellent Service. Usual wonderful ambience. Highly Recommended.
We go to the Cotes in Guildford quite often because the service is always good. Last weekend we received a phone call letting us know there was a problem with the gas so we could not have cooked breakfast. We still decided to go because we were meeting family there. The bill was as much as we would have had cooked breakfast but we we're no where near as impressed. The pastries were undercooked and we were surprised that we weren't offered at least a complementary drink for the inconvenience.
Excellent service and food. Staff very friendly. Only thing was we booked a table at 9.30am and place had loads of empty tables. We asked if we could have a round table with 4 chairs to give us a bit more room, but we were told no, as there were bookings for groups of 4 coming in. Quite understood this and it was no problem, but then a number of groups of 2 came in after us and were allowed to sit on table for 4. Just annoying!
Lovely service, amazing food and overall a beautiful meal. Thank you so much!
great menu, excellent service, utterly reliable and consistent - great value for money
always excellent food, we eat here often, a bit noisy today though.
Fantastic service, constant updates with regards to gas problems. Table service excellent, made all the family feel very welcome
Sadly, for the first time, I have to say that our visit to the Guildford Cote was disappointing. I had booked a table for 7.45 and said that it was for a 15 year olds birthday. On arriving, at the same time as another table of 4 who were in front of us, we were offered a table right in the middle where everyone stands waiting for their table and has waiters and customers brushing passed all the time. The first table had refused it for that reason and we then did as it would not have made a comfortable and relaxed evening. We then waited 20 mins (standing) for a table to become available. We were offered complementary drinks (though, as I was driving, I didn’t have one) but that didn’t really make up for the fact that we had to wait that long. It’s clear that they had overbooked and hadn’t, at that time, read the fact that it was a birthday meal and that a table right at the entrance of the restaurant wasn’t appropriate. It was a special occasion. Once seated, we then waited for quite some time to be offered a drink or bread and olives while we waited for our order to be taken as the staff were clearly too busy. The food was it’s usual good standard but it had taken a while to de stress after a chaotic start to a birthday meal.
Good experience especially with 4 glasses of kir to start with due to one of us going a la carte
Lovley staff who were very attentive, delicious food as always and a vibrant atmosphere
Staff were real and genuine and made the evening really nice.
every thing was fine except for two dogs sitting on customers chairs being fed at the table are the chairs going to be disinfected after i dont think so i am a dog lover but i dont think it is right for dogs to be fed at the table not very hygienic is this the restaurants policy and is there a sign saying so
Breakfast up to usual standard of excellence and coffee for two offered when no single coffee pots available as ordered, good customer relations.
Great venue food atmosphere service. Always reliable one of our favourite restaurants.
An excellent full English breakfast in this French restaurant! Very happy friendly French staff.
Good service as always at Côte Guildford, Thank you x
Very nice experience. Good food, relaxed atmosphere for lunch and the young man that served us very pleasant. Highly recommended.
As usual,good service and good food.Easy to book online.This is why we eat here.
Overall excellent service and food. A very enjoyable family experience
Good atmosphere and great service. Wine was good. The complimentary special cocktail was undrinkable. I chose the haddock goujons and they were absolutely tasteless. Tartare sauce and accompanying peas were ok but I definitely wouldn't order this dish again as I really didn't enjoy the main part.
The restaurant was very nice but noise was a little too much
We visit Cote at Guildford usually once or twice per month. We keep coming back because the food, service and overall experience is excellent. On the odd occasion something is not quite right ( not on this visit), it’s quickly resolved. Well done to all concerned and we would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. I do advise booking as they are usually quite busy.
A guaranteed nice time. There was a guy with glasses and a beard who was great. Plus our waiter was spot on too. Always a lovely time.
Εxcellent food, quick service, good value for money. I just wish the tables were more far from each other. I definitely recommend it !
Great as always best food great sevrvice brilliant resturant great place
A brilliant atmosphere and super food on the whole. A minor issue with my meal was sorted quickly and to my total satisfaction. Absolutely love this restaurant.
Relaxed but efficient and friendly service at a reasonable price
Lovely food, good service, lovely evening! That’s all I need to say!
Excellent, friendly welcome, great menu choice, impeccable service - I will be returning soon.
An excellent meal and service.We look forward to the next timed
Excellent as usual, really enjoyed the promotional Sidecar. Staff attentive as always.
Really good service from very friendly and professional staff and yet again first class food. Enjoyed my complementary birthday Kir!
Very good experience and brilliant waiter. Service was exceptional could not be better.
A very pleasant evening meal ( Christmas) relaxed and enjoyable .Excellent food and service well up to standard This is why we keep coming back with theguildford branch top of the pile
Food was fine but table for two was cramped against an outside wall. However, the service was good and it was an enjoyable evening.
Excellent food and service- made us feel very special and the bubbly was much appreciated thank-you

As always, the food and service was excellent. I'd like to pay 10% service charge, not 12.5%. It was very noisy due to a full restaurant - but also we were right next to the coffee machines! This didn't seem a problem at first but once the restaurant filled up, it became difficult to hear around our table! I'll book a different table next time. Those problems won't put me off Cote in the future though.
Have visited a few times and it’s always a pleasant place to meet friends for lunch.
Had the seabass which was delicious accompanied by the house white wine.
Great flavour food, with fast service. One of our go-to restaurants as it is so consistent. The time we selected meant a switch over of staff so the faces changed a bit
Excellent ...as usual! The front of house staff are always so welcoming and its lovely to see so many of the servers have been working at Cote for a long time. We love the different menus, which is great for people like us who eat regularly at Cote.
