reallyenjoyed it we have been 4 or 5 times now really nice setting by the river. food is always great but the staff make te difference.
I am a regular customer and most of the time it's always very good. Service was a bit slower this time and my main wasn't very good. They offered a free sweet which seemed fair.
We were greeted and shown straight to our table. Service was prompt, friendly and unobtrusive. The staff checked throughout that we were happy with our meal. The food was excellent for each one of our five individuals in the party. Bill as produced when requested on time and again we were asked if we were happy with everything. I would say that this restaurant did everything to ensure happy diners and repeat customers. Thanks so much!!!
The waitress was very rude .Did tell the manager but he was very busy.We asked for a quiet area and the manager done his best but as two of us wear hearing aides it was still to loud .Will not go to Kingston again .Will try Richmond or go to the teddington one .Found it very strange that one of our group couldn't have the peach crumble because he didn't have that menu .As it was his 80 bithday I let him have mine .A sale was lost because of this silly rule .Food as always was very good
Excellent,always reliable and consisant, we always enjoy our experience at Cote. The staff are pleasant and helpful. The food was a good quality and standard.
The food was excellent as always, the service was excellent too. We did like the complementary Kir Royales, which made my Birthday celebration very special.
Slightly disappointed because we had a free bottle of wine voucher but as we decided on the set menu were not able to use this. The food was however very good despite it being very busy and offered excellent value.
Unfortunately the service at the restaurant tonight was very poor, staff seemed to Ben more interested in socialising and many of the conversations seemed inappropriate for the workplace...
Despite pre-ordering our food the service was no quicker which is disappointing. I would consider not going back to Cote for this reason alone. Food was good as always just very slow coming from the Kitchen
Food was great. Service excellent. Wine good and good value. Had the pre theatre menuev which was also great Sat outside in sun shine what could be better.
Excellent evening from the begining to the end. We were all very pleased with the food, wine and service. Thank You. We will be coming again soon.
I was very impressed with the service and the food at the restaurant. The staff were friendly and the bill was surprisingly very reasonable. Good location, good service, good food and good company.
Nice food for my birthday but they messed up order and food was cold so all has to be recooked. Manager was very good though in sorting out and amended bill etc to cover it.
We had a lovely time, Amazing! Service, food and good value for money. I would go back anytime!! Cote is my favorite chain French restaurant.
Food was all delivered at different times which is the only reason it wasn't a 6! Friendly service, very attentive. Also enjoy the varied menu.
Absolutely amazing food. We had ribeye stake, duck and lamb. It was absolutely excuisite. Staff were very friendly and professional. Thanks cote, it's been a pleasure
My wife has her arm in a sling due to a broken humerus. The staff were all very helpful, having her first course cut small so she needed only a fork and generally being concerned with serving her carefully due to the injury. Great service and food as always at Cote a really great chain with really super ethos Never eat anywhere else in Kingston. Have used Canterbury and Dorking, also both excellent, Cheltenham next month, know it will be good. Neil Stuart
We had to wait more than an hour and a half for our mains as they seemed to forget about us. The service was disappointing but they did give us some free deserts and wine to make up for it which we appreciated.
It was very busy on The Saturday lunch time we were there. But service and food excellent as usual. Nice location overlooking the river Thames
The restaurant was two staff down but apologised straight away for any slowness in service and did a fantastic job keeping all the customers happy. The food is always excellent, and to-day was no exception, and the waiting staff are beautifully trained and really efficient. We will continue to eat there and tell all our friends.
Had a great meal which was good value for money. Service rather slow but we had a fantastic view of the busy river traffic so plenty to focus on whilst waiting. Highly recommend
We had the three course set menu which was excellent value. Good service and helpful waiters. Cote's creme caramel has to be one of the best.
The two of us enjoyed a good meal with great wine in a lovely setting by the river with a stunning view. Will come back
Not so good today. Waited some time before order was taken without being offered anything to drink in the meantime, then another long wait after starter was delivered before main course arrived. Apologies were made and cost of a 2 course set menu taken off our bill. Welcome, but not the point - we would have appreciated better service.
Made a revservation 7:30pm, arrive on time only to be told our reservation has been moved to 8:30pm because they were overbook. Asked if there where any tables available and there was one but told we could only have it for 45mins even though our 'new reservation time' would have started 15mins later. Terrible experience for a special occasion and very rude from of house staff
Love coming here because it it right by the thames which is lovely. I love the great serve which is provided when i visit and also the food always tastes great!
Great quick steak/frites lunch. Good service and lovely views of river and boats going past. Restaurant busy and good atmosphere. Everything very clean as usual.
The Scallops were far too overcooked. When confronted, they were replaced and not charged for, however the excuse from the waitress about how they had been cooked was that the chef was polish!
Food disappointing on this occasion.. The 'special' fish was mushy and overlooked. The accompanying salad was so drowned in dressing that I couldn't taste the fish. I have had so many meals spoilt here by the heavy handedness of the salad dressing but sometimes forget to ask for it on the side. The restaurant was so noisy I couldn't hear my friend speak.
Have come to expect nothing less of Cote. Food is really good and well priced. Great wine and good service. I'm in there approx twice a week (Teddington too). Love Cote.
Over all very happy, its a regular spot for me and my friend and we havent been dissapointed yet. Perhaps sometimes need more staff on
Friendly attentive staff, wide choice on menu, delicious food. Good choice of wines. Small selection of good French beers and ciders. Reasonable prices. Poor acoustics.
Very welcoming staff who were exceptionally attentive. The food was excellent and served with that great attention. We made the point of congratulating the manager on our departure. Highly recommend Cote of Kingston Upon Thames.
Cote Kingston is lovely. Each dish was delicious and reasonably priced for high end food. The staff and atmosphere were lovely. I would highly recommend.
Our group of 4 all agreed the food was excellent. The service was quick and the staff where polite etc. We have visited before and will visit again.This was my 5th visit and will definitely visit again.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal and evening. The service was good and the food authentic and delicious. They have a great range of choices on their menu too.
We had a very nice Birthday lunch at Cote. In the Kingston Cote it really does make a difference who your waiter is, Ours was particularly nice, very efficient and attentive. Our choice of food was excellent, pear and goats cheese starter for me followed by haddock parmentier and calarmari and steak frites for sir. Lovely. Washed down with Kir Royals.
Lovely food and a vey friendly waitress. Lamb was very tender and chicken juicy. Looking forward to another visit as we are working through the menu step by step.
Service was initially excellent. We were given a table of our choice and our order was taken promptly. Food was good, but they forgot to bring our side order of spinach. They brought it later and did deduct it from our bill. We waited quite a long time for our main and dessert to arrive. The restaurant was so noisy we couldn't hear each other, so gave up talking which probably made the wait seen longer than it was.
The food was good however, the service was extremely slow. We waited a long time for our meals having started at 1:15pm and leaving just before 4:00pm. I could see the place was busy but really, it's half-term, it's lunchtime so surely management should have thought about having more staff to compensate. I rarely take off the tip on the bill but this time I did. It's a shame as the food was good but it spoiled the experience.
Cheerful, Buzzing, Thames Riverside Restaurant, with views of the river. Good unobtrusive, unhurried service. Interesting menu and excellent food always well presented. Cutlery and linen sparkling, as is the restaurant and other facilities. Always worth a visit.
As always with Cote, the food was excellent - perfectly cooked steaks and the most sublime creme brulee I've had for a long time! The service was really good too. Can highly recommend Cote Kingston.
Enjoyed vegetarian dish, and friend had fish cooked to perfection , dark chocolate dessert awesome. Pleased with service too. Definitely will come back again. Thank you
Fantastic food, but took a very long time to arrive (over half an hour wait, a lot of other tables got their food before we did). One of our desserts also took significantly longer than the others (it was a fondant, so maybe the first one didn't come out great), but it would have been nice to have had this explained - the one we did get was fantastic!
Lovely breakfast good service. Food came out fairly quickly. It would be helpful to make clear that the pot of jam on tables is a dummy!
The service was very poor - it seemed as though there were insufficient staff - please do not use the analogy well it was busy !!!! and the food well that reached just about average.
The food and service were good as usual, however there was a minor issue which was instantly resolved with an apology from both the Waiter and the Manager.
The food was good although we had to chase a side dish. No salt and pepper on the table - we had to ask and no complimentary water which was offered to everyone else around us.
Reliable as ever. Good food, efficient service and a pleasant environment. And good value too! Excellent venue for lunch whether in a hurry or able take one's time . Even better when the sun shines and you can sit by the river!
Lovely food great service definitely recommend didn't pay the service charge added as it was optional gave my own tip to the waitress we had she did a lovely job
