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.

Very good price and excellent service. Perhaps too cheap as the starters were very tasty but not much we fancied on the mains . We went for steak and chips the latter really good but steak tender enough just a bit bland - but for the price what can one expect . Good pud.

I'm giving Cóte 6/6 for nice food, helpful and friendly staff. This restaurant has a nice view as it's next to Guildford Castle. It's better to park a little bit further and just have a nice walk after food.

Great food and staff couldn't have been more helpful especially as I am a coeliac. As well as providing a gluten-free menu, the staff member marked the specials and the light lunch/eve menu showing me which I could eat and how they could adapt certain dishes so that it would be gluten free. I had lots of choice!

Breakfast was very good,the eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine were excellent and we are looking forward to our next time for breakfast. Sadly we sat next to a table having a rather loud business meeting, but that was not the fault of the staff who were more than attentive.

Lovely atmosphere. Great service, spoilt slightly by very tough steak, which my wife tried to get thru, but eventually had to give up. Manager kindly rescued all, by removing from bill, but we'd rather pay, or return earlier. Apologies for any problems.

We had a delicious lunch of the Special Cod Main course and mouth watering dessert of the Special lemon Crème Brulee with raspberries. We also had a wonderfully refreshing Kir Royale on arrival which was complimentary through an email offer. Great, friendly and efficient service too. A very enjoyable and relaxing respite from our day of shopping in Guildford!

Amazing food & atmosphere, apart from it was so hot in there, too hot to stay beyond main course. Had an email about free kir royal, which we presumed would be for both of us as they bought two over when we arrived but we were charged for one of them.

The food was good but you don't get value for your money. They insist on a 12.5% tip which is added onto your bill. Whilst you can ask for this to be removed from your bill, it's not an easy process. Whilst I always make sure I leave a tip for good service after knowing the money will go to the staff, it shouldn't just be expected.
