Greta welcome, friendly staff as always, swift service and tasty food. The starters were huge but we still managed a main each and shared a pudding.

Good service and good food.When we complained that my wife's desert apple tart was not quite right it was replaced with no fuss and we were even given a goodwill discount which we didn't expect.The bistro has a great ambiance and we always enjoy going there.

Excellent service as usual here. Appeared when you needed them, left you to eat and chat uninterrupted when you didn't. Not rushed at all despite them being quite busy. Perfectly polite and helpful. Very accommodating waiter and manager. We were able to chat away whilst enjoying another fine meal and not wanting for anything. A very comfortable atmosphere in which to dine with friends.

It was a very busy much service, but service was extremely slow and we had to keep trying to catch the waitress attention for desserts and then the bill. Food was good, as normal, so no complaints there.

Excellent food as always. Shame the 2 course meal isn't available on Saturdays as it is great value but only available on weekdays. Always book to avoid no availability.

The food was lovely but the staff did not meet my expectations, especially when paying my bill. The staff member stood over me so I was unable to shield my pin number from him and I felt very uncomfortable

Food and service very good, dining area where we were seated was very tight for space, extremely noisy - needs some form of noise attenuation as quite difficult to hold a conversation with people in our party.

We went to the Cote Brassierie after an afternoon watching a play at the Yvonne arnault theatre . We arrived 15 mins early , the staff were welcoming and very accomadating giving us a choice of tables. I chose the warm Roquefort cheese salad followed by the Tuna Nicoise my hubby The French Onion Soup and a Sirloin Steak . All were served quickly , hot and were delicious. The salad and the French Onion soup ware particularly special. A rainbow of fresh salad and the onion soup with the melted cheese presented beautifully. We finish with apple tart and lemon tart . Which were individual rather than a slice which was great . Would use cote brassierie at Guildford again in a heart beat Thank you to the staff there it was full and still they knew exactly what they were doing

Have visited 2different Cote restaurants in the last week. ( Farnham and Guildford). In both cases, the steak was not up to usual Cote standards. Have you changed your supplier or reduced quality to keep costs down ? Otherwise a satisfactory experience overall both times.

The meal was mostly delicious. My only slight disappointment was that the Pain Perdu tasted as though it had been caramelised in stale fat. We had a waiter who was new that day, though experienced from elsewhere. He performed really well, managing to bring humour into a professional and efficient service whilst mastering the computer etc. He contributed to the entire experience in a very positive way.

As ever, the quality of the food at Cote Guildford was excellent. So was the service. The value for money of the table d'hote is just extraordinary, and beats everything else on offer from both other chains and independants. Keep it up!

Accommodating service, nice location. The food was good, but the calamari had too much breading for our taste. The best thing was the crab mayonnaise!

Really nice evening. Very prompt service and given a choice of table. Staff were very courteous and order taken efficiently. There were three of us and we shared two first courses ; calamari and crab mayonnaise. Both nice but the crab mayonnaise slightly overwhelmed the taste of the crab. Two poulet rapide and one salmon with ratatouille. All very hood. Nice portion size too.
