Nice food, in the end. Good service.. Husband had started eating his duck, he said it was chewy, undercooked. It wasn't long before the waiter came over anyway & asked about how our meals were. He took away & replaced my husbands meal & then all very nice.

The service was very slow. Our waiter apologised for the delay so he was aware there was a problem. Too few staff for a Saturday!

The food was lovely and reasonably priced. The only comment is make is that we waited a while before being served. We’d been seated for around ten/fifteen minutes before we were asked for a drink, or food orders. Once we had food, the staff couldn’t ask enough how our food was and if we were enjoying it.

Although very busy our food and service was excellent with a friendly welcome when we arrived. Every Côte I visit is different in their own way and never disappoints.

Crab mayonnaise starter was a bit short of crab flavour. Fish parmentier and duck confit were tasty and good value. Coffee was strong and well balanced.

The salad was a mix of water and vinegar and really horrible. My main course if the fish pie was also watery and disappointing. Nobody asked if we wanted to order from the main menu and enjoy the free drink.

The food at Côte is really good always. The staff are efficient charming and helpful. You couldn’t ask for more. Situation right by the river in Kingston is perfect and on a cold snowy night it has a cosy and warm atmosphere. Perfect will come back again and again.

It was excellent service and food.Mind you the former may have been influenced by the fact that the Cote in Kingston was very empty probably because of th weather. The waitress and manager were particularly pleasant to two old men drinking too much and setting the world to rights .

Resturant was very busy, service was a bit slow and the food seemed over done. Also where people were queuing to wait for tables the door was permanently open and it was freezing inside.

Bad service, food was fine. At no point a waiter came to us to ask us our order or to give us a bill, we had to keep asking! Every time we’d finally get a waiter to give us any attention, they wouldn’t even say hello. We waited 30 minutes for someone to take our order (they only came because we asked), then another 30 for food. I understand it’s busy, but I don't think this is good service.

8 of us went for my birthday. There was another larger table next to us so it was noisy, making it hard to hear what we were all saying. They forgot mine and my brother’s main course so we had to wait until the rest of our party had finished before we got ours. When we did, it wasn’t worth the wait - they’d obviously rushed it. They did discount that from the bill though and everyone else loved their food. I wouldn’t return for a special occasion.

Cote Kingston is always reliable and it was good again yesterday. The starter of brie on flatbread was probably the disappointing dish as the brie was almost non existent on the flatbread, a bit mean with the cheese, which made the dish very dry. The steak frites was as good as usual and the house wine was pleasant enough.

The food is always good value for money, the service is efficient and friendly. The only problem I ever have is that when the restaurant is full, as it often is, it is very noisy. Some ort of soundproofing is needed.

Today we were disappointed. The venison cottage pie was mainly potato and gravy. No meat. When we queried we were told the meat was shredded. There was no shred of meat in the dish! The salmon tartine starter was literally a slice of toast with a slice of salmon on top. The Camembert starter was also disappointing. We have been to Cote many times but I think their menu needs to be looked at.

The food was very tasty. Service was rather slow but fortunately we weren't in a hurry. The food was reasonable value but spritzers at £4.95 seems excessive.

Food and service were as good as always, but there was a slight whiff from blocked drains somewhere, which was unfortunate but I’m sure will have been sorted quickly.

Amazing service and food quality. Staff is TOP! We went to celebrate Saint Valentine's day and it was quite busy. However, food quality, service and atmosphere were superb!
