Glad we had booked for Sunday lunch. The restaurant was very busy but the staff managed very well. The order was taken and delivered within a very good time. The quality was good as normal with Cote and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

The staff were lovely, especially our waitress, and I score them 6. The starter of Crab and Avocado was tasty and I would have it again. There was a good 40 minutes wait for our main course, but you were busy. The Steak was tough and I had to leave lumps of it on the side of the plate. Also, it had a strong citrus flavour that did not improve it at all. It would be better to take it off the menu as it is letting you down.

We are regulars here in the summer, service and food are always amazing and prices are reasonable! A stroll along the river afterwards to walk it all off is ideal ;-) Highly recommend!

They seated us quickly but then after waiting for ages we had to ask for someone to take our order. It was father's Day so maybe they were busier than usual? Food was lovely but service was a slow.

Nibbles did not arrive in good time, we had to chase for them, and then they arrived just before the starters arrived. My starter was a bit over dry. The remainder of the food was very good. Service fell below their usual high standard, even though the restaurant was far from busy. Definitely a little disappointing.

I visited on the evening of 13/6/17 and at lunchtime on 14/6/17. On both occasions the service (both food (long time arriving) and waiter e.g. waiting for order to be taken, plates to be taken away, dessert and coffee order to be taken) was VERY slow. Portions were not generous by any means and in fact my cherry tomato salad was pitiful. On the Tuesday evening my starter of asparagus did not arrive with the other starters and I had to ask for it. Similarly the side of French beans did not arrive with the main course and I had to ask for it. Both these items were deducted from the bill (without me asking) but something seemed to be going wrong in the kitchen. A shame as I like to take friends there to introduce them to the Cote experience and on these two occasions I was disappointed and felt let down.

Whilst a chain restaurant with a menu available at each outlet that is the same, surprisingly the food presentation and service is excellent. Always meets expectations, an excellent repast this lunchtime.

We always went for Father's Day lunch. However , this year as we have a grand daughter and to fit in with her sleeps, brunch was a plan. Well done Cote Kingston. Excellent.

It took a while to secure a table outside - but we managed in the end. Service was initially very slow as they were very busy and our first drinks took a while to arrive. However, after that it improved and the waiting staff were very friendly. I ordered the "dark chocolate mousse" which was sickly sweet & not very dark but other than that, I enjoyed my main course - the salmon was moist and perfectly cooked.

Visited Cote Kingston yesterday for lunch. Despite it being very busy, we got an outside table overlooking the river. The staff were very attentive and charming and the service was very good, as was the food. Will certainly be visiting again in the near future.

We were warmly welcomed by the restaurant manager who wished my father a very happy birthday. All the staff were extremely attentive and our meal was not only extremely tasty the service we received was very efficient and friendly.

We waited about 30 mins for our main course and when it arrived the chicken was very hard. It seemed like it had been kept hot and not served to us for sometime. We go to Cote in Kingston often and this is the first time we have felt it was necessary to complain. The Manager dealt with our complaint.

Didn't realise that Cote and other restaurants were there along the Kingston riverside. Great position. It was a lovely evening with people sitting outside as well as inside so they were pretty busy. Also it was the first day of a new specials menu and (according to the person who greeted us - ?the manager) the kitchen were having a few problems satisfying orders so we were warned we might have had to wait a while for our food. However all was fine and although we perhaps had to wait a bit longer than normal, it wasn't a problem. Our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed the food. Although it's not our nearest Cote, it's certainly a useful place to eat after shopping.

Good food, but we got charged for the 'free' kir royales .Although this mistake was corrected without fuss Cote should be aware of its own offers!
