The service was excellent. The food was amazing as always and the staff were extremely accommodating considering we booked last minute with a large group of people.

Booked at short notice (only 1 hour before) - glad we did as it was busy and others were turned away. Arrived early and had to wait for table - somewhere to sit with a drink while we waited would have been appreciated.

Visited the restaurant for lunch in mid August. Had a table outside as it was a good day. Lovely place by the river. Good service & delicious food. Will definitely be back.

The evening was a great disappointment because we had requested an outside table which was not possible and we were seated at the back of the restaurant nowhere near a window or river view. This was the whole purpose of going to a riverside restaurant. The 'compensation' of complimentary water was an insult as it is always free in Cote restaurants!!!

Food lovely as usual. But we were a party of 5 squeezed onto a table for 4, having prebooked and having received tiny order of sauce were charged extra when we asked for more!

What more can I say, we were sooooooo disappointed. This was not our usual experience at Cote. Can management tell us why and perhaps offer some kind of refund. Wait to hear from you.

I have never had a bad meal at Cote Kingston, either at lunchtime or in the evening. The prices for both food and drink are reasonable and the food is always well presented and prepared. It's always an enjoyable experience and the staff are welcoming, friendly and professional in their manner. They will also be helpful to accommodate any special requests.

I cannot fault the staff who are friendly and efficient. For me there is the bonus of a full gluten free menu. The food is excellent. However after many visits we are beginning to feel that the menu needs to be addressed. It has remained unchanged and if you are a regular visitor it begins to feel a bit boring.

Not as good as usual but still good. Our steaks were all served very pink despite being ordered as medium to well done. One was sent back twice but still too pink. But they happily changed the order to a chicken dish which was delicious. Very busy but we were not rushed. The bottle of prosecco we ordered was very slow arriving and we had to chase it up. Staff very apologetic and gave us extra French fries. We will be going back again.

Great customer service! Thank you Tomasz, our waiter! We had a really good meal! The staff is trained to make sure everything is good and if it’s not good, they make sure you leave happy and ready to come back again.

Because I booked using a free drink 'offer' in an email, when I arrived I was not able to order from the cheaper set meal menu as I had used the 'complementary drink' option! Food was good, drink was good, but feel ripped off as the meal we ordered would have been cheaper if we had not booked in advance! We would not have had the 'free drink' if it had not been erroneously advertised as 'complementary'.

It was lovely, no quibbles with the food, drink or service. My dining companion and I were a bit miffed with ourselves for not spotting that we were ordering from the Prestige Lunch menu which, whilst offering a good selection, and was delicious, was dearer than the usual lunch menu. Our fault. Buyer beware!

Very good (as usual). Cote is the only chain that seems to be maintaining standards (good food, service, pricing) whilst others flounder. Long may it continue !

Never disappoints....food excellent, service unobtrusive and you're never rushed....the only downside is that even if the restaurant isn't completely full it can be rather noisy

Every time I revisit Cote I am always impressed by the value, taste and presentation of the food and the polite kindness of all the staff. This just does not happen so reliably in other restaurant chains. And so I keep coming back. Well done everyone at Cote.

Very nice & good service. The soup was lovely, thick & creamy - a bit of bread would have been nice but probably a bit greedy as it was a big portion. Great steak & fries, great all round value.

Cote as usual were on very good form. The food was excellent - hot and prompt. The staff were excellent and reacted sensibly (and generously) to a minor complaint. One area for improvement, possibly Cote wide, is non-alcoholic drinks, where, apart from water, the choice is limited to cloudy lemonade, orange and one other. These days a range of exotic tonic waters are on the market and very popular, especially when enhanced with mint, lemon etc.

Enjoyed delicious duck breast but the goats cheese salad was disappointing as fennel was included as a roasted vegetable and the strong taste dominated it!

Staff were lovely. Two tables pushed together with a quarter inch height difference is an accident waiting to happen. In my case I was splattered with red wine as a glass inevitably toppled! A platter of charcuterie to serve 3 with 2 pieces of toast struck me as mean. Lamb was very well received but couldn’t taste Gruyere in the crepe dish. Wine was very fair for the price.
