Côte Guildford

Four of us had a very enjoyable meal this evening. The atmosphere was buzzy but not too loud, the staff were lovely and the food was great. Will be returning.

Great food, service and atmosphere. The seafood is as good as the steak. Much loved by all the family. We will definitely be eating here again!

Great service again. Breakfast menu good although it has remained unchanged for a while some new options would be nice. Service good as always. Thanks

Excellent food and service at a reasonable price. Lamb shank was very good. Been to Côte many times, will keep coming back. Hard to beat for quality at this price

Great service and food . Often better to book as could be disappointed if you just turn up. Have been to other cote restaurants and all are great

Excellent food and service. Promptly shown to table. Given plenty of time to select from the various menus. Food served hot and quickly. A very enjoyable evening

A lovely lunchtime with colleagues from work. Service was quick and efficient service and the food was excellent. We choose from the set menu, which had a wide range of choices and was good value.

The food and staff were lovely, I have marked it down as unfortunately the acoustics in the restaurant meant you could not hear people on the same table or speak which made of it less of an enjoyable experience and I would come back at lunchtime on this basis.

Excellent Service, Friendly Staff and Good Food. The free bottle of wine was upgraded as they had run out of the wine on the wine offer. Very impressive. They could have so easily said that they had run out.

Great place to eat! Good food very goo service and the quality of their food is always of the highest standard. We eat there a lot and would highly recommend it.

Short of time so had 2 courses and asked for dessert to be brought with meal. Very obliging, friendly and efficient. Food delicious. Fish wonderfully fresh and sauce with leeks very tasty. Crème caramel was to die for - the best I've ever eaten! Well done - we'll be back!

Very nice food, lovely staff, would give highest score, but they have got my colleagues garlic bread out with not much butter on it, but rectified this promptly. Overall very pleased. Also we few of us had the 3 course meal, which they have not taken into account and charged separately for pudding.

Went for my birthday, very enjoyable, service excellent and food yum and great atmosphere! The waiters didn't make you feel rushed and left a nice amount of time between courses.

I had the veggie breakfast which was lovely, great portions and the coffee and orange juice in the formule meal means it is great value for money. Great service and yummy food

The food as always was excellent. We like the different menus, monthly specials, set menu etc. The wine list has very good wines at the lower price band and the service, whilst attentive is not over the top.

Went with a party of 5. Staff was very prompt to bring us the menus and tap water and take drinks orders. The food was very nice and white wine in cool bucket. Friendly and helpful staff. Very helpful with special dietary requirements.

My wife had the Veal and I had the Filet steak with a bottle of Sauvignon on the house. Perfect. Service was great. No complaints.

Good service overall but Minute steak not done as we asked for it. Quite noisy, but was a Sunday night. Fish soup an excellent starter, puddings excellent.

The team provided an excellent service and were attentive throughout. They even included a candle for my two colleagues birthdays. The 2 course deal was also very good value for money.

Understaffed and very slow service. We kept emphasising that we had to be away by 3pm (we had arrived at 1pm) but the poor waitress had too many tables to serve. The food however was very good except the pork tenderloin starter. Slivers of a pork concoction were not what I envisaged.

Booking efficient, service very good. Food consistently good and overall a lovely night. Despite a later time to eat we were not rushed or encouraged to leave. Thank you.

Nice starter and good value and I was especially pleased to find that they serve champagne by the glass but they don't know how to cook a steak.

Once again had a lovely meal with exceĺlent service- well done Cote.The vast choice of food together with a separate gluten menu makes eating here good

My wife and had lunch there today and, as usual, the food was excellent apart from one small exception. One of our starters included bacon lardons but these were very hard (chewy!) and rather flavourless. We mentioned this to our waiter who apologised and said he would advise his 'colleague'. When the bill was presented by the Manager he said the chef had been informed and as we were not entirely satisfied with our meal there would be no charge for our desserts. A most commendable way to treat customers and to encourage their return which, without doubt, we will!

As always, a friendly welcome for our girly lunch. We went for the set menu which is excellent value, and enjoyed lovely food, and plenty of choices on the menu. The restaurant is spacious and has a good atmosphere. Cote never fails to deliver.

Excellent as usual good service nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Restaurant was busy as you would expect at this time of day 10.00am on the weekend but the service is still acceptable

One of our meals had to go back to the kitchen as the pork belly meat was very overcooked and very dry service was OK.

There were friendly waiters and very good food. We all ordered off the Lunch menu and everyone was pleased with their choice. The set menu is very good value

We love this restaurant and have been coming here for years. I would often rate them as a 6/6, but this last visit was a 4. They were extremely busy, and unfortunately it showed. The seating felt cramped, and the waiters' demeanour was rushed. Our olives and aperitifs arrived with our starters, so they were pointless. My husband had to send his steak back as it was overcooked, and the waitress had forgotten to ask which sauce he wanted with it, which potatoes, etc. She also got our coffee orders wrong. We made no complaint as we have had so many good meals here, and yet we found my husband's meal had been taken off the bill when we came to pay, so the maître d' obviously had his eye on things, and we still walked away happy. This was only the second time in about six years of coming here that we've been disappointed- what a shame this the first review I've been asked to write- but we will ignore this occasion and come back in a couple of months, expecting great things as usual, and I've no doubt I'll be able to leave a wonderful review then.

Am a regular at Cote Guildford, but today they must have been very short of staff as the service was much slower than usual, one waitress for the whole area. Food was as good as usual

We had a Good welcome from friendly professional staff in a 'French' atmosphere. The food wasVery tasty and was good value, the lunch menu was very good.

Our visit to Cote Guildford was a bit disappointing this time. We had the set menu and my starter of salt cod croquettes was very nice. My husbands frisée salad with lardons and poached egg less so, hardly any salad and served in a hot bowl! His main of steak was fine but my "pan-fried" hake fillet with chick peas was definitely not pan fried. It arrived in a cloud of steam the way only something that has been microwaved can do. It continued steaming for several minutes afterwards until the fish was over-cooked. I've ordered similar dishes in Cote many times and they have always been as described, pan fried with crispy skin and cooked just right, so this visit was disappointing. I didn't send it back as I didn't want to leave my husband eating alone while I waited for another dish. I hope this was an isolated in in as the standards in Cote restaurants is usually much better.

Food was delicious & priced well. Service was efficient if a little 'cold'. But overall an enjoyable evening. Somewhere to sit & have a drink while we waited for our table would have been good also, but not the end of the world as there is a pub close by.

We had lunch with friends with whom we had much to discuss. The food was excellent as it always seems to be. Our waiter immediately ascertained that we did not want to rush and the service was absolutely perfect for a very relaxing meal.

Been to the Guildford Restaurant a number of times, usually birthdays and anniversary. Wife loves the place. Excellent food and nice, pleasant atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Top marks. Will no doubt venture further one day and try out some other sites. Happy with Guildford though. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Fantastic service, delicious food and great atmosphere. My favourite place in Guildford. Staff, as always, charming and attentive - definitely the best steak frites around!

Usually love this place but this time manager was very rude to me. When we had not been served after 20 minutes and people who came in after us had, I approached him and reminded him we were there. I was very polite. He snapped at me, telling me the restaurant was very full and he would get to me. His tone was horrible. So we went elsewhere. Cau is much better.

Very busy & noisy last night as A level results day. Service was excellent still and food of high standard. Had the 10 year anniversary menu which represented good value.

Staff were very attentive and pleasant. Service was quick and easy. Food was delicious and great value for money. I will definiTely recommend to others

The food was ok nothing special! When we've been before it has been much better! I had the steak tartar, which for reasons best known to the chef had been pressed in a hamburger press -very strange! The duck breast was rather dry and uninteresting although the sauce was good! The desert was excellent but you can't go wrong with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce! My wife had the ham an melon which was nice followed by haddock wrapped in ham, which was ok. Overall an ok meal but nothing special! Reasonable value for money.

we are regulars at cote guildford. in our opinion there are several other chain restaurants in this market but nobody has caught with cote yet. keep going as you are .

We are regular customers to Cote Guildford because of the great friendly service and quality cuisine. The only disappointment recently was that, for the set price menu, the portions seem to have been reduced ( mainly the starters ). I appreciate the economic pressures, and the set price menu has always been a good deal for the same price for a long time. However, I would prefer to see the set price go up a little, rather than the portions being reduced ( although others may prefer a different trade off ) I'd add that the Hake main course, and the creme brulee ( as always ) were excellent.

Good value for money. Good service. Cater well for little people too. Maybe there could be a little less salt in some of the dishes. Will definitely return.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere convivial and the staff very attentive. Two of our party have food allergies and it was a pleasant surprise to find a separate menu showing wheat and dairy free options. The staff were only too happy to help and advise. We will definitely return when we are next in need of a good meal out in Guildford.

Usual excellent and fast service in quite a crowded restaurant. I had asked to a window seat and was given one, and the food was good value for money with the pre-theatre menu

Very busy which affected the service but the food was good. Very noisy, probably expected for a Saturday evening, but all the hard surfaces exacerbate this and make conversation difficult

Staff were welcoming and friendly . Good choice and variety of food on the menu Food was good quality and served quickly. Would definitely recommend this restaurant

Excellent service and food- very reasonably priced. Accommodating to small children, although no children's menu offered waiting staff made huge attempts to ensure that the children were happy! Highly recommend the Guildford location.

As usual the food and service were excellent. I have been to many of the Cote restaurants but would give Guildford my vote as the best so far.

Good quality for chain restaurant. Nice menu, food well cooked and delivered, and attentive service. Bit noisy but it was lunchtime and the place was full which must say something given there is no lack of competition
