Super visit to Cote Guildford yesterday.. The staff were super efficient, helpful and very friendly. Food was delicious as always. I love Cote. First time we've been to this one, a little smaller restaurant than Brighton but still chic and a wonderful lunch experience. Thanks Cote team in Guildford.

Very tasty food in pleasant surroundings served by helpful, cheerful and friendly staff. The air conditioning was also an added bonus which made for a lovely evening out.

Took my cousin to Cote Guildford for lunch. We both choose from the set menu and washed it all down with a very reasonable muscadet, brandy and coffees. The resturant was pleasantly half full which meant that we were able to talk without being over heard. The manger and staff were both friendly and efficient. I have visited the location on numerous occassions and at different times of the day, so I have no hesitation in recommending the place, which can be found within the vicinity of charming Guildford castle.

Great breakfast - 'proper' scrambled egg and lovely smoked salmon, freshly squeezed orange juice. A very civilised start to a working day. Nice service too.

Good service. The sirloin steak ordered by my friend was poor. A lot of grissle made a third of it inedible. The waiter waived the charge which was good of him.

Efficient and friendly welcome. Timely ordering and prompt service. Good quality food, especially very tasty fish pie, but chicken / avocado salad would have benefitted from. more avocado ( in season now). Service charge of 12% presumptuous.. M. DENNISON

Always reliably good food at Côte. Only criticism is the automatic addition of 12.5% service charge to bill. It is discretionary but in reality it is quite awkward to say you wish to remove this charge when paying. It is not the only restaurant that operates this way but it is not a practice I agree with.

Yet another great dining experience at Cote. 6 of us dined at Guildford and as usual the food was excellent. We had a brilliant server Mariusz who was very patient with us and we enjoyed conversing with him. We were not the easiest group but he was lovely. I will always recommend Cote as it is good value and has a great atmosphere.

It is by far the best restaurant in Guildford, always excellent food and service. All the staff are attentive, polite and make the experience dining at Cote a memorable one. It would improve the dining experience if Cote extended the Monday - Friday menu to include Saturday, as the Saturday menu is very limited.

Lovely friendly staff and cool, classy atmosphere as always. Unfortunately my husband and I received sad news of a death in the family during dinner so we didn’t end up eating too much. The gentleman serving us was so kind, thank you so much. We’ll definitely return.

I feel the quality of the food is not quite as good as it used to be, also the prices have increased for the set menu's and there is not a lot of choice.

A table of ten with four rather noisy children and as usual we were dealt with by utterly charming staff, unruffled by having to wait a good time as children decided to change orders. Cote in Guildford has the best staff for charm and efficiency and it doesn’t feel like a chain restaurant at all. We go several times a month and feel like we’re friends with the staff. Brilliant. Oh and just in case you’re wondering, the food is good too?

I usually get into Cote at Guildford at least once a month and have never been disappointed. This continued to be the case this time. The pork bellies on the prestige menu, were superb. The prestige menu was excellent value. The service was as usual excellent. I’ll be back soon!

First class food and service. We had steak frites (from the Rapide menu) + green salad +two glasses of pampelle spritz. Delicious! Would have scored a perfect six if we could have paid (by card) a little quicker (had to wait a while for this - and ended up with a parking ticket for our trouble!!). Will return for sure :)

Excellent service and food. Only thing I didn't enjoy was the close proximity of a very large group so it was difficult to have a conversation. Perhaps the restaurant could keep small group diners separate.

Great meal but the best thing was how the staff treated us. One of our party is gluten & dairy free. I noted this when I booked online & when we arrived they immediately grabbed a GF menu for us as they took us to their table. We didn't need to say a thing. Once seated, they went through the GF menu with us & explained what could be made DF too. They were so helpful. Made a huge difference. What a great team.
