Of all the many chains there are, cote is probably the best. Service always good, and food not startlingly innovative but to a good standard. Breton fish stew is one of my favourites. Good lively atmosphere always busy and bustling but space between the tables!

Love the menu, always consistent whichever branch you eat at. Renton fish stew always a winner with the Pain Perdue to finish, what could be better.

We had a family meal here on a busy Friday night. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent. Two of us are vegans and we were delighted to be offered a choice of 3 main dishes which they said could be made vegan for us.

Chicken was over cooked and dry and side green salad had far too much vinegary dressing. Chocolate Mousse was light and delicious and Coffee full flavoured... but too long wait between courses!

Very indifferent service, nothing personal about anything. No one said goodbye , thank you and service was rather slow. Steak special was tough and look anaemic and unappetising. Sea bream lovely.

I love Cote but the restaurant was very busy and therefore service not quite as good as usual. However, the food remained outstanding! And the waiting staff extremely friendly as always. The ambience wasn't so good today in that the place was so noisy - tables too close together and ceiling too low - difficult to hold a conversation!

Great service as always. The staff know just how to look after you without being intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious. The dishes arrived quickly and yet we never felt as if anything was rushed. The restaurant has a lovely ambiance which is friendly,warm and welcoming. They get the lighting just right and really seem to care that you have a pleasant dining experience. We will return.

The food is excellent and the atmosphere vibrant. Unfortunately, the tables are packed in as close as possible for optimum space usage and so it feels crowded and loud.

We have used 6 of the “local” Cote Restaurants and always found everything always of a very high standard, but the Guildford Restaurant was of a particularly high standard especially the staff. They all greeted you with a smile and very professional in all of their service. I would strongly recommend Cote in Guildford to anyone who hasn’t tried it, you won’t be disappointed.

Food was good and the service friendly. However, for four people we were given a small round table (and we were pre-booked so not a walk in) which only just managed to hold all our glasses and wine bottle without the hassle that came when our food arrived and with extra side dishes. Maybe you could give this some thought and also think about the size of your crockery and whether this will fit a table of four with glasses?! Also, felt a bit rushed at the beginning when ordering and at the end of the meal as if the staff were trying to get rid of us (this has happened on previous occasions as well).

Took my daughter to Cote Guildford today, as I have undertaken on several previous occassions and we both throughly enjoyed our meal there. We both chose from the 2-3 fixed course menu and had a bottle of muscadet to accompany the food. The resturant was near full when we dined, but this did not adversly affect the service, which was both friendly and efficient. We both look forward to the next time that we visit.

We've been here so many times over the years and always found it to be very good. The staff are always very efficient and friendly. The menu is varied and the children's menu has a very nice selection and is good value. Our grandchildren always love going to Cote in Guildford and so I would highly recommend it for both adults and children.

The service was fantastic despite the restaurant being very busy. The sea bass was delicious and the chocolate fondant to die for. Ten out of ten from me.
