Nice food, good service and lovely atmosphere. Menu hasn’t changed for years which with a slightly larger specials board isn’t a problem. We would come back more often if the menu changes occasionally.
On a Saturday evening the restaurant was busy and buzzy, the service was attentive and friendly and our meal was very good at this level of cuisine and reasonably good value. We really enjoyed our evening
Great venue with friendly and attentive staff. Always good service and lovely food. Somewhere to look forward to going to
A little more French atmosphere would have been better but food and wine were good.
Food was average as my wife’s fennel wasn’t cooked properly We did make it known but nothing done about it Overall it was ok but not great
The service was quick considering we were a party of 22. The food was very good (my rib eye steak was incredible!).....and the service at the table was friendly and very competent. I chose Cote Brasserie in Kingston because I had eaten there once before and again everything had been above average...excellent in fact. Well done to your staff for giving us a great meal.
It's a brilliant place by the river. The ONLY negative was it took a little while to get the bill. Everything was excellent. I would definitely go again.
Fantastic choice of food and great service. First class restaurant
Excellent service and food. We very much enjoyed our free aperitif. It would be nice though if bread was served with the Prawn Gratinee or come to think of it put on the table as in restaurants in France without charge.
Lovely meal as always .service very slow today ,Saturday May BH
Usually, food is well cooked and presented, served efficiently. I enjoy the food very much. Unfortunately I had a foreign waitress taking my order today and got my order wrong. I asked her the difference between the tiger prawn and the King prawn and we decided on the King prawn which is a special item in March but she brought the tiger prawn for us. It was a disappointment. The duck slices were delicious as usual but would like a bit more potatoes under. I would like more choices in dessert. Ice cream or frozen berries with sauce is not really a dessert to me.It was very crowded at lunch time today and I had to wait for a long time to get my coffee at the end and it wasn't hot. Luke warm coffee was't great to finish off my meal. It was also noisy and was difficult to hold a conversation. We couldn't hear each other across the table.
always good here The only niggle was the lamb was the medium side of rare but not really a problem Love Cote
Great food, friendly and professional service, wonderful ambiance. A good selection of interesting dishes, well presented and sensible portions. You always know that a visit to Cote will not disappoint.
Everything was very good except for the risotto that my friend (veggie) and I had. Overcooked and soggy! Not good. Very nice complimentary drink on arrival though Margaret Troy
Excellent as always and very accommodating of a baby - thanks!
Great food, very generous portions. Our waitress was lovely. I mentioned when booking that it was our anniversary and the restaurant treated us to some champagne to celebrate which was a lovely touch - thank you!
A wonderful meal again at Cote Kingston - the food was superb, as was the service and atmosphere. You really can't go wrong going to Cote, as it's always excellent.
Thoroughly well looked after. Prompt and courteous service. Lovely food and wine. I will keep coming back.
Great atmosphere by the river side, excellent service, good food. Recommend to people who want to enjoy meals at an affordable price. Thanks a lot.
Very enjoyable, but can I make a suggestions? Your portions are very generous. I was with my 20 year old granddaughter but neither of us could finish our dish of fish goujons, which was delicious, but over-large. Is it possible to offer a choice of portion size, one normal and a smaller one, at a slightly reduced price, to minimise the wastage which results. This policy is very popular in restaurants which have adopted it. We both wanted a dessert today, but were unable to eat one!!!
Friendly and professional staff...very clean ...good food...but a bit loud..I wouldn’t go there if I wanna get deep conversion with my partner...for mother’s day they would offer complimentary drink for mothers with any main meal.
Really great quality and great service. We come every few Sundays and are always very satisfied:)
Thank you for a wonderful morning tea was lovely and comfortable!
Waitress forgot wine but brought it promptly when reminded. Food great as always
I am close to awarding *****. Being picky, our waiter went off shift half way through our meal; not a big deal and he deserved his break but being harsh, it takes away top billing. The food was excellent and the service so professional. The staff share the 12.5% service charge and this is much deserved. By far the best restaurant "chain" food available.
Excellent meal and service. Table was pre-booked, staff were aware our booking included a free drink which we were offered immediately without having to ask for it. Waitress was very pleasant and helpful.
My family and myself only go to Cote’s when we go to Kingston.The food and service always the same it doesn’t alter. The staff are SUPER
Shame the succulent looking lamb chops were as tough as old boots. The complimentary rhubarb martinis were strewn with inedible rose petals making the cocktail very difficult to drink. Such a shame.
Great food. Great service. We will definitely be back soon. Our waitress was charming and the food was delicious.all in a lovely setting on the river IN Kingston
Another great dining experience ! Alex the Manager and all of the team were so attentive and the food great as always.
Lovely place to meet with friends I would highly recommend the food.
An excellent pre matinee (at the Rose Theatre) venue. The table, the service and the meal were just as I had hoped for myself and guests. This was my first visit to this particular Cote.
The moment I step through the door it is as though I were in a French brasserie, such is the decor. And then the food & wine underline my first impressions. I am transported. I could even have had a pastis - perhaps next time.
A beautifully located restaurant with lovely service and great food. Enjoy a tasty breakfast over looking the river. Sets you up for a busy day of shopping.
I dine regularly at Côte but today’s meal was very poor quality. Starter baby gem salad with egg and lardons- lardons were extremely hard. The main(COD with ratatouille) was very overcooked and fish extraordinarily small
Went there for my husbands birthday. We ordered starters, unfortunately my husbands did not arrive and we had to chase it up. Our plates were not cleared away for a long period of time after we had finished and we had a long wait for the mains. Too much cream in the mussels for my liking. The mains were nice, we had the rib eye and sea bass. We had booked a table but they didn't seem to have the booking on the system. Good location by the river and very busy for a Tuesday. Had previously been with a friend for lunch and that was very nice. One thing to mention, if you want a quiet romantic meal, it is very noisy and hard to hear people speaking!
Very busy at the time of dining, however, our server was delightful - welcoming, friendly and engaging
Overall it was a great experience, food was good service excellent. We had a pram with us for our lunch time meal, the manager found us a table with small area to park pram next to us but still keeping us in main social place. Weather was lovely and restaurant was very busy but service and food was still terrific.
From start to finish was excellent both food & lovely staff
Great food, attentive service, good price, perfect pre theatre experience
Great welcome, food lovely as always and enjoyed our blood orange cocktail- thanks. The timings between each course are good too, main course doesn’t arrive straight after starter!
Lovely location by the Thames, very good service, food was lovely and good value for money (afternoon meal deals). Cost of wine by the glass was a bit pricey,
Usually good but as you have asked. Service was curt and efficient without any warmth. The main course was small and poor value. A small strip of salmon, thee asparagus spears and four tiny potatoes for £14, hardly enough for a child. You need to do better to get people to come back. Changing the menu might help too.
Lovely breakfast in a superb location. Great value for money. Good service. It’s our favourite restaurant for food, ambience and location. Would thoroughly recommend a visit.
Nice restaurant by the river, the food was good and the service was great.
Lovely evening with friends improved by you very helpful staff and great food Thanks
The food is always good at Cote but the Breton fish stew was amazing and my two companions were extremely impressed with their sirloin steaks!!! It was a lovely summers evening and the restaurant was busy both inside and outdoors, a lovely atmosphere for dining!!!
A lovely experience - all our family love visiting any of your restaurants - lovely friendly staff and very helpful - food wonderful as usual and lots of choice - Brilliant
Normally Cote in Kingston is very good and we eat there regularly. However today was the exception. The starters were good but the first main I ordered was the asparagus risotto which could only be described as wet slop with no flavour. After sending this back and ordering the chicken and walnut salad which is meant to come with an assortment of other vegetables, I received a bowl of lettuce and chicken with the smallest amount of dressing you’ve ever seen. I sent that back and asked for both dishes to be removed from the bill. Very disappointing.
I just love your food which ever the Menu and the friendly & helpful team. I haven't been disappointed as yet. Location is just perfect too.
