Our early evening meal was very good and the service was prompt which was important to us as we had a theatre date. Next time it would be appreciated if we could have side plates with the starter of olives in oil with bread, They were provided after we requested them.

Really good food and service. I HATE "discretionary" service charges added. And I think it's the worst when it has already been added to the card machine total before its given to you. Ugly American practice.

Have eaten there several times , never disappointed , good food and amazing value. Only thing that spoilt today was rather chilly sitting in the window. Should have said something and asked for a move , so my own fault really.

We visited Cote in Guildford after my daughter's graduation ceremony. We all chose the 3 course set lunch menu and the food came quickly and was of high quality. Service was discreet but friendly. We will certainly visit Cote again.

First time I had their Breakfast Menu and it was not enjoyable, Bacon was dry and difficult to eat the Sausage was burnt and dry. Also the price was high compared to other restaurant breakfast. On the plus side the poached eggs and mushrooms were fine.

The food was lovely. However there was not enough space to move around. Everywhere you turned was another body. We even saw the staff struggling to do their job. In addition to this we ordered our drinks which included a bottle of prosecco. This for some reason seemed to be an impossible task. The waiter has to tell us twice that is was coming in a sec. but in turn came around 10 mins after all our other drinks. It seemed as if the staff where all over the place. Struggling to cope with the volume of people.

I choose the minute steak. When asked how it was I commented 'not as pink as advertised but still very good'. The waiter said he would talk to the manager about this. I was half way through it, and enjoying it, and the manager insisted on replacing it. Everyone was very pleasant about the incident which was very well handled.

Great restaurant just opposite the castle. The food is faultless (they really do cook the best steak in town) and the staff are a perfect mix of attentive and helpful without being intrusive. We love it here and would highly recommend.

The food was lovely and the waiting staff extremely polite. However we felt very rushed. The starters were served promptly which was great but then 5minutes after the main came out. We weren't really given enough breathing spaces between courses to the point where I asked my main to be boxed up to takeaway. From sitting down to bill we were in Cote for 45mins. Not really the relaxing meal out we were looking for. However for lunch! Absolutely love it ❤️

Service always excellent. We have found that the steaks are not so reliable anymore. A few times now we have found the sirloin to be chewy. My wife couldn't finish hers tonight. A while back we always found the steaks to be so tender. Overall though we still very much like Côte.

The Cote in Guildford never fails to please and today was no exception. Lobster tails for starters and linguine for the main course. Everything was cooked to perfection, really enjoyed it all. We were looked after brilliantly,what more can I say ? Looking forward to our next visit.

Very enjoyable lunch. Extensive menu to choose from but lacked a little for vegetarian choices and too many recipes with goats cheese. I chose a melon and Parma ham dish from the starter menu but found it a very small portion despite telling the waiter I was having it for a main course. I was hoping that one of your choices would Include eggs. Are the menus changed from time to time.? My husband and I visited Cote Farnham and I had a dish with black pudding which was delicious so perhaps it was just disappointment as it was not included on your menu.
