The staff at Cote Kingston were very attentive and friendly without being overpowering. The food was very good and the whole atmosphere lent itself to a very good meal out.

Busy, bustling pre-theatre crowd make a great atmosphere. Location by the Thames as the sun goes down adds to the experience. Food good value as always and efficiently presented by friendly staff. We were two very satisfied customers.

Quick and friendly welcome even though the restaurant was extremely busy. That's always a good sign! We both thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. We couldn't fault it. Lovely to have such a good choice on the menu, and all beautifully cooked. It's just a pity we have to take two buses to get to Kingston, but a lovely position by the River Thames. Thank you for a very pleasant dining experience.

pre theatre supper, the food is always of a predictable super quality, served well by a very pleasant waiter, in good time to get to our performance but not rushed, what more could you want!!

Saturday lunch time is an altogether different xperience from a weekday, sitting by the river it was all about families. Although not too busy, somehow this experience did not compare well with recent visits to other Cotes. The same team atmosphere prevailed, but it all seemed a bit forced. Unfortunately, the room was over air-con'd, such that it was nicer outside than in. Sadly, the veal was only warm. I think the kitchen logistics need attention.

The food was very good as usual. The set menu is very good value and enough choice, especially as it is changed every month. Very busy so pleased we booked

Good welcome, food excellent. Waitress friendly but service poor. Could be understaffed but took too long to take orders & for food to arrive. Drink orders should be taken soon after arrival.

Being a Saturday lunchtime the restaurant was very busy but wevwerevquickly seated and served at just the right time. The menu was extensive for a lunchtime with wide choice. Me and my guests certainly really enjoyed both courses when they arrived. The service was excellent, our waiter being polite, friendly and efficient. In my opinion an excellent venue for lunch at a very reasonable price.

very busy at 7.30 on a Thursday. Despite having booked we had to wait a while, but once seated we were well looked after by a charming waitress - french, of course. Whatever will happen after Brexit!

Cote is truly the only place in kingston we can be confident of great food brilliant service and a warm welcome. Which is why we eat there at least twice a week. We very rarely book on line as we live just a few yards away .

It took 20 minutes to get someone to take our order, a further 20 minutes for the food to turn up, and when it did turn up the bacon which we asked to be crispy came back underdone. Then we got the bill to find a 12.5% discretionary tip added on.

We were entertaining guests from out of town and they were very pleased with their choices from the menu saying that they wished that they had a Cote where they lived. The food and drinks were well presented and very enjoyable, they included one meal from the Children's menu.

The restaurant was pretty full but we still were able to eat outside and watch the river which was great. Service was generally good if a little slow, but this was much better than being rushed to get the table back. We had the celebration meal and the food was delicious and well presented. We would recommend this restaurant to others.

We love dining at Côte's but we're disappointed with our experience with this one. We sent back a bowl which was dirty. The finger bowl for the moules had cold not not water. The bread came out to go with the fish stew much in advance. Small wine ordered and large came which was then changed. Nothing really major but not up to the standard that we are used to.

Always good at Cote, both price wise and food wise. Today even on a Monday, staff seemed somewhat overstretched so service was rather slow. It's always busy at Cote which makes it a tad noisy. Staff remain cheerful and helpful despite being very busy. Very good value for money.
