Excellent service at brunch and delicious food reasonably priced. Staff were very accommodating at providing smaller portions at substantially reduced cost. The vegetarian full English was particularly well received.

Although Cote Guildford is very good it lacks a lot in ambiance. It is very noisy and that is in the evenings when there are no kids. The staff are rather surly but the girls make up for the men by being the cheery types and making you feel welcome. The food is still well up to scratch as is the wine and we will of course go again in due time.

Visited on a Saturday which was extremely busy but the tables were too cramped and my Burger was actually burnt I was with my son and a friend so didn’t want to wait for another one. Terrible food experience.

This is the second time we've eaten here and once again the food was excellent and the service friendly, helpful and attentive. It's fairly expensive, at just under £100 for two (and that was with only one glass of wine) but we had a great evening.

The food was good as usual - the cod was particularly good. The service was delightful and very friendly, but a bit slow - they didn't seem to have enough staff on duty.

Food was really lovely - we enjoyed sirloin steak, pork belly, tarte aux pommes and creme brulee. The service was also excellent on a very busy Saturday night - the staff were very friendly and super efficient. Overall, my wife and I had a great evening.

Popular, busy, noisy, bustling place. Food is consistent and better than average. Don't like 12.5% being added as service charge though for 3 people - a bit of a cheek.

Food order was taken but then had to wait for starter when after 30 minutes I asked where it was they said it was coming but still took another 10 minutes ! They obviously forgot to put it through as saw a lot of staff pointing!

Extremely tasty meal. But some miscommunication during ordering. We ended up getting fries even though we changed our mind about it during ordering. And I always do not like restaurants that add “optional gratuity “ to the bill... where is optional then?

Being loyal customers to the Cote group for many years in various towns, we know the standard to expect and we know it can get a bit noisy at times. However when we visited Guildford Cote last week we were seated in small side room with a table of 10 extremely noisy women who shouted and yelled at each other the whole time we were there. This made it impossible for any form of speech at our table of 3 and frankly ruined our experience. We did ask to move but were told there were no other tables available. The food was very good, as usual and the service was also very good as usual but we will not be returning to Guildford Cote unless they can guarantee that small tables of 3 are not seated within a couple of feet of very large parties. Sorry Guildford Cote you are now off our list of eating places.

Having used other sites of this chain we were happy to try this one in Guildford for a family celebration. We prebooked a table for 5 and were seated next to the area where drinks and coffee were being prepared and crockery was being stacked very noisily by staff which made conversation at times almost impossible. Three loud breakages by staff in the time we were there made it even worse.Even allowing for it being a busy Saturday lunchtime service was a bit slow and repeated requests had to be made. The servers appeared unfamiliar with the menu as the struggled to understand what we were ordering and even had to come back to check. The food was of a good and consistent standard but the overall experience was disappointing.
