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

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

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...

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.

This is a very noisy restaurant! Have now been here several times and, on this occasion, the noise level was worse than ever, even though the place was not full. Food was good, as usual, and the waiter was very pleasant and took time to ensure everything was all right. Don't suppose anything can be done about the noise, however.

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

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.

Food was OK though the toast was not hot which is disappointing. It amazes me how long it takes to get a coffee made at this place. When we ordered it wasn't that busy (tho was when we left). We now only order our food when our drinks have arrived but this then makes the stay a bit too long.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
