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!

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.

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.

Unfortunately we didn't get our window table as requested but it was really busy and they did let us choose where we wanted to sit and gave us a glass of bubbly, which was nice. The 4 stars were for the food, it was just ok, the fish pie was quite salty and the Breton fish stew was tiny, I had to give my husband my fish pie!! Puddings were lovely though.

Good location. Food was good for three of us however it was not the case for one of my invitee who had the fish pie , as she found 2 fish bones in her dish, the waitress contended herself to state she will inform the chef, for my invitee it spoiled her enjoyment of her meal.

I have always had great service and the menu always provides something I want, particularly the steaks. The bonus for the Kingston Cote is the superb location overlooking the river and the lively busy atmosphere you find in a French brasserie.

Come here often and usually love the food and the great service. First time ever we had poor quality food; starter of mushroom brioche was literally spoon of mushroom sauce thrown on the corner of some brioche ... terrible presentation! Dessert of creme caramel also thrown on dish ... looked awful! Service started well, but went way downhill. Had to ask for coffee and bill repeatedly. Admittedly it was very busy, but have always experienced consIntently high standard of food and service .... please don't change! We love coming here!

Very good and attentive service. My fish main course came and the fish WA dry and very obviously overlooked. Things go wrong but it is how they are dealt with that matters. The state of my fish was acknowledged apologised for and replaced within five minutes with a beautifully cooked one. Hope to again soon. Marcia Rangeley

Good enough service. We are regular customers so unhappy the staff didn't know who we were as you have changed the whole staff instead of keeping half to train the new staff. Not very happy which is A shame as the original staff were really good and efficient.

This visit was a bit disappointing. We visit Cote quite a lot and are reward members and the service and quality are usually very good value. However on this evening the service was lacking in particular. It was only about half full when we arrived but service was slow. We ordered drinks and asked for water (twice) before it came. Then we ordered, we shared a starter and asked for plates to share which again took more Han one request. Our mains didn't come for nearly an hour after we ordered, even though tables near us came in after us and still got served their mains before we did. We will go back, as this is unusual but in this case it was not up to par.

Would be a 6 other than sitting in a draught from aircon. Asked to move tables none available as Mother's Day breakfast. Fast efficient service. Asked for 12.5% service charge to be removed from bill so I could leave a cash tip of greater value. It seems the thing to do in all London restaurants bars and hotels to add the "optional" service charge. I personally think this leaves waiting staff undertipped for good service and overtipped for bad.

Left before eating due to atrocious attitude of the lady maitre de - my guest arrived early and asked for a glass of tap water - was advised water was only normally given when order had been taken. Wad begrudgingly given water. We were seated next to a table of 10. Was noisy - when asked to move maitre de was extremfly abrupt and said she would move us if WE saw that a table had become free. Not the manner of service I expect or expect to receive - quote disgraceful - left Restsurant before ordering and went to Browns. Will never return to cote in Kingston ever!!!! Work in the city of london and staff like that with such bad attitude wouldn't last 2 minutes - take note Côte - wrong person for the job....very glad I did not part with my hard earned cash on staff with attitude! Good night and good bye!
