Greasy calamari Ribeye steak wasn’t the normal Ribyey, one portion of hot chips one Luke warm, the best part of the meal was the tomato salad.

As ever a most enjoyable informal Friday evening meal at Cote Guildford. Not the best table in the restaurant but the food was excellent - chosen from the Premium set menu - and friendly and attentive service by Christian. We'll be back.

This was my first visit to Cote. The staff were very professional and friendly but that's where the praise ends I'm afraid. My chargrilled chicken was tough like cardboard but I was too hungry to send it back. The time we had to wait between courses was also rather long. I was also a bit disappointed that I was suppose to ask upon arrival for the complimentary bottle of wine and even if I had there were too many restrictions to qualify for it.

Enjoyed our first visit to Cote in Guildford. Easy to find and parking (up to 10 pm) was close by in Council Car Park. We were early, but immediately taken to our table and our friends arrived 10 minutes later. The food was universally very good. Service was prompt and friendly. Only slight critique is that the place is very "buzzy" and noise level from other diners is quite high. Not sure there's any way to fix that. But at least it means they are doing something right to be so busy.

The restaurant was very busy, being Mother's Day weekend, & so we had to wait a few minutes for our table , but the manager was very attentive and made sure we had complimentary drinks. Well done Cote - customer service, that's all it takes to make a great experience. I shall definitely be back again.

Food was good but the restaurant is too cramped. As a result it is really hard to have a conversation, it was extremely noisy. Service was good apart from the mixup on dessert resulting on them being delayed.

It was excellent as expected. The service was very good and a lively, friendly staff. The seats / chairs were a bit small for my big butt though and very uncomfortable for that reason. Also, is it really necessary to charge nearly £3.00 for small bottle of diet coke?

Always great food and friendly service...no change on this visit. Shared a delicious reblochon pissaladiere and saucisson sec to start, then the classics - poulet grille for her and steak frites for him. Can't go wrong! Finished off with praline crepe (him) and tarte fine aux pommes (her) and left very satisfied. Attentive and friendly service, only had to wait a little to get the bill sorted at the end. Recommended.

We are regular customers to Cote in Guildford and always find the welcome warm and friendly. The monthly specials as well as the 2 or 3 course options mean that it is never a problem finding something that both my wife and I will enjoy.

We enjoyed an excellent meal, served with friendliness and efficiency. The french onion soup and spinach and mushroom crepes were excellent, although I would have appreciated a greater number of vegetarian options. One small disappointment was the soup not being as hot as it might have been - and my husband's steak frites was served on an almost cold plate. These points may be small, but they mattered to us.

I asked at booking for a corner table but was told on arrival there have none! With a 7 week old baby we were placed in centre of restaurant. A busy spot. Unbeknown to us , this was our first visit to Guildford cote,there were many other seats free where we would have caused less disruption. The scrambled egg was more of an omelette and was not as good as Horsham or haywards heath cotes.

It is always a pleasure to come to Cote. Staff were lovely, food is always great and service was amazing. 100% 5 stars! It can sometimes be a bit noisy, but today it wasn't full, and it was perfect. Staff went above and beyond to please us. My friend is expecting a baby and wanted non alcoholic wine, which Cote does not serve. Our server suggested he can make a non alcoholic cocktail for her, which wasn't on the menu. She was so pleased she ordered a second one! Thumbs up!
