Lovely food and great view over the river. However near the front of the restaurant it is a little cold - some people had their coats on. The restaurant also seemed a little understaffed and it was difficult to get anyone's attention. Luckily we were not in a hurry.

The service at the restaurant was actually really good, but the food was not fantastic. The mussels came dry and it took some time for the soup for it to be brought out, most of the mussels were dead and more than half empty? Too much cream, too salty and did not taste good. When the cream sauce eventually came out the mussels were all lukewarm, what there was of them anyway. However, the main course was really good, the staff did make an effort to raise their game when I told them it was under par, and the steak was a substantial improvement. Again, not perfect but much improved, the celeriac mash was a little dry and the top of it was crusty from I think where it had been waiting on a hot plate or something. The desert, which I had a chocolate fondont was excellent. All in all, I am pleased by Cote but not going to fall over myself to book again for Valentines day, however, the management did make a good effort to set the record straight and took a decent amount off my bill to make me leave happy. Good effort, but could be better. Cheers

Dined here on Valentine's night with my wife and whilst i have eaten at Cote in Kingston before, We were very impressed by the choice of menu, standard of food and pairing wines and the quality of service given the place was packed. For a " Chain " restaurant, this one is as good as it gets. I can also highly recommend their breakfast menu which is delicious.....

Food was excellent, came in a timely manner, very affordable for the quality we got. Staff were really friendly and knowledgeable. Facilities such as the toilets were very clean. I asked for a table by the window and they made sure we did with ease. Over all a great experience and I have already recommended it to friends.

Mediocre tuna and salad for my lunch The tuna seems to be getting smaller over time and the salad had more peppers and onions than anything else, the dressing was obviously straight from a bottle. This restaurant is always very busy and I think they have stopped trying to improve because it will always get customers for the cheap set menu. This monthly set menu is becoming very repetitive and is so cheap you get the feeling they are cutting the quality and portion size to keep within the budget. My friends and I would happily pay a more realistic price for better quality food. My friend chose the excellent steak frites which is the only dish that is always well cooked. Luckily this restaurant has a wonderful setting so if the food is poor, the river view is good.

Excellent. Busy, buzzing atmosphere. Fabulous position overlooking the river Thames at Kingston Bridge. Outside tables, for warmer days, to sit and watch the world go by. Service was efficient and unobtrusive, food - Duck Breast and Poulet Grille - recommended and beautifully presented. Cote at its best.

We took our family (Mother and son of 21) who were visiting from Italy. The restaurant was busy and there was a lovely ambience. The food was delicious and the staff, particularly our waitress, Isabella, were very friendly, efficient and helpful. The setting of Cote, Kingston is particularly lovely by the River Thames near Kingston Bridge.

Excellent attention from the staff for a very special get together. The food was well presented, tasted good and was excellent value. We were not pressured to finish our meal and leave which would have been understandable - we were in Cote from 13:30 until 15:30 on a Saturday. Very highly recommended.

Lovely table. Food very nice. On,y one disappointment. Almost every time I visit Cote I order with crab mayo starter WITHOUT capers. I cannot eat capers. Every time in the many branches of Cote I have eaten in, up until today the chef has been very understanding and accommodating. Must be a new chef in the Kingston branch. Said he has mixed that crab in the morning (we ate at 3.30pm) and was not prepared to make my starter without capers Lazy and disappointing.

First time at Cote and would definitely return. Food was fantastic, attentive and friendly serving staff but not over the top. Nice atmosphere, tables were quite close together and it was busy but not noisy. We had 5 in our party, all had 3 courses, beer, 2 bottles wine - paid around £45 per head so very reasonably priced. Would recommend.
