Excellent meal. Would recommend to people. French brasserie type food in a spacious, riverside restaurant with a lively modern atmosphere. Have been to this restaurant several times and it never disappoints.

Generally speaking, the service was really great, but the welcome was a bit poor. Having arrived a few minutes early, it seemed to be a real problem. Otherwise food and service was excellent

Love Cote Kingston - welcoming, friendly staff, great atmosphere, excellent food and drink and reasonable prices. We go there all the time with our kids (11 and 13) for a 'grown up' meal and it always feels really special.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. We weren't hurried and had plenty of time to chat and enjoy our meal. I persuaded my friend to have the creme caramel which is always wonderful at the Cotes and she was not disappointed. Unfortunately on the day we were there it was snowing so we could not enjoy the lovely riverside setting but we had a very nice time,

Good standard brasserie, reasonably priced. Only real complaint is that the cheese was cold, obviously refrigerated, which was expected but I was hoping for better. Other than that, nice meal, decent place

Food was great as usual. Very busy for a Friday lunchtime but service good. We ordered just a main course as we were limited on time, and a little surprised that we didn’t get our food faster than the table next to us who ordered starters and mains some time after us. No complaints though, always enjoy eating here.

It was so noisy that my friend and I couldn't hear each other; we almost had to give up talking until it quietened down a bit after 2pm. All the hard surfaces exacerbate the noise, magnifying it as the sound waves bounce off hard walls, ceiling and floor. Why not use acoustic tiles or other surfaces designed to dampen noise rather than magnify it? It's stressful being in that noisy situation and makes it hard to talk and enjoy the meal. People start talking loudly to make themselves heard which makes the problem worse. The meal was nice although I wasn't too impressed with my haddock pie: it was OK but didn't taste very fishy. Too much potato and cheese?

Restaurant was not busy, 4-5 tables in total so we had a very good service as waiter could spend enough time with the service. We had a very nice meal, service of the dishes was quite fast. Plates were cleaned 2-3 minutes after we finish the course each time. It is very busy there during lunch time, so it is better to go Tuesday or Monday dinner to get the best experience :)

The food was cold and we were seated at the back of the restaurant near the toilets where there was a terrible smell of sewage. When we mentioned this to the waitress she just shrugged.

Usually excellent but a little disappointed today with quality of our breakfast. Poached eggs not runny - although they did replace, sausage over cooked as were the mushrooms and toast under done. Very unusual for Cote.

Booked over two weeks in advance but was placed in the worst seat next to the front door. Lots of people queuing to get seats - at one stage one lady looked into the restaurant by leaning all the way over my son who was trying to eat his b/lunch. Also my scrambled eggs on toast came with toast believe it or not (listed in the title) - it was a single generic slice of white toast you can get from Tesco. It was cold and I had to ask twice for butter. Basically it’s normally great but they were off their game and they clearly have too many seats in the restaurant- the table next to the door should not be there.

Despite being Mothers day and the restaurant very crowded - but isnt it always - the service was good, the meal excellent and it was good value. Maybe a little noisy, and the chairs could be a bit more comfortable, especially if you are there for a couple of hours but those niggles aside, whats not to like!?

We always enjoy good food and service at Cote in Kingston, but yesterday was very disappointing. We had to wait a long time to get any kind of service. We had to remind the waiter about outstanding drinks. The meal I had was disappointing (undercooked and tasteless ratatouille that accompanied the salmon fillet) and having waiting a long time for the dirty plates to be cleared away, the waiter was borderline rude when we politely asked them to be cleared. I really hope that this was a blip, due to mother's day maybe, but surely they are equipped to cope with a busy day like that. We will go back, because we usually love it, but hope for improved service.

Enjoyable brunch but the coffee was served well before food so it was cold by the time the food arrived. Also, because it was quite busy there was not as much attention to detail with the food as in previous visits when it was not as busy.
