Yet another delicious meal at Cote, with lovely friendly service. It's such a beautiful location, and it doesn't just rely on that, but delivers a reliably good experience.

Two of our party were vegan when we arrived we were told to discuss with our waiter/waitress, unfortunately they did not understand the requirements, for a normal meal he food was very good.

I am a fan of Cote and find that it is consistently good. I often have their rib-eye steak which is excellent quality and value. On my latest visit I tried the veal escalope which I would only rate as OK (not thin enough and under-seasoned). The service was a bit slow, surprising as the restaurant was only half-full. While this sounds a bit negative, it's only because I've rated it 5 rather than the usual 6. I will definitely continue to visit Cote regularly. PS The Kingston branch has the advantage of a great location right by the river, with outside tables available.

Busy and noisy restaurant by the Thames; would have good views on a fine day. Good service. Extensive menu, but food is very average. Good wine list - we had a good St Emilion

Always consistently good food, drink and atmosphere! Would definitely recommend and visit again soon. The early evening and weekend menus offer great value for money.

We are regulars here in the summer, service and food are always amazing and prices are reasonable! A stroll along the river afterwards to walk it all off is ideal ;-) Highly recommend!

They seated us quickly but then after waiting for ages we had to ask for someone to take our order. It was father's Day so maybe they were busier than usual? Food was lovely but service was a slow.

Nibbles did not arrive in good time, we had to chase for them, and then they arrived just before the starters arrived. My starter was a bit over dry. The remainder of the food was very good. Service fell below their usual high standard, even though the restaurant was far from busy. Definitely a little disappointing.

It took a while to secure a table outside - but we managed in the end. Service was initially very slow as they were very busy and our first drinks took a while to arrive. However, after that it improved and the waiting staff were very friendly. I ordered the "dark chocolate mousse" which was sickly sweet & not very dark but other than that, I enjoyed my main course - the salmon was moist and perfectly cooked.

Visited Cote Kingston yesterday for lunch. Despite it being very busy, we got an outside table overlooking the river. The staff were very attentive and charming and the service was very good, as was the food. Will certainly be visiting again in the near future.

I visited on the evening of 13/6/17 and at lunchtime on 14/6/17. On both occasions the service (both food (long time arriving) and waiter e.g. waiting for order to be taken, plates to be taken away, dessert and coffee order to be taken) was VERY slow. Portions were not generous by any means and in fact my cherry tomato salad was pitiful. On the Tuesday evening my starter of asparagus did not arrive with the other starters and I had to ask for it. Similarly the side of French beans did not arrive with the main course and I had to ask for it. Both these items were deducted from the bill (without me asking) but something seemed to be going wrong in the kitchen. A shame as I like to take friends there to introduce them to the Cote experience and on these two occasions I was disappointed and felt let down.

Whilst a chain restaurant with a menu available at each outlet that is the same, surprisingly the food presentation and service is excellent. Always meets expectations, an excellent repast this lunchtime.

We booked a table for two at 19:45 on Monday evening. Our initial table was in the full glare of the evening sun so we asked to be moved and were so swiftly without fuss. The staff were absolutely first class but unfortunately the walk in trade proved far more than they had expected and the result was very long delays between courses with the kitchen obviously struggling to keep up. The food was excellent and we were given some complimentary breads to help our hunger before the starters arrived. As an apology the cost of our deserts were also taken off the bill so we certainly didn't feel the experience at Cote Brasserie was a negative one, perhaps if we had been in a rush then things would have been different. Overall very good food, excellent waiting staff, lovely location and comfortable restaurant.

Average food, poor service, so many other good places to go. The waitress was up selling all the way through the meal but the bar closed at 11pm without checking g with us if we needed another drink. Have used many cotes and this is the worst!

As ever with all Cote restaurants, a very enjoyable meal. Excellent service and food at an exceedingly reasonable price. All they need to do now is to keep off the rain in order to sit outside and enjoy the view over the river!

Restaurant not busy this evening, and service was unusually slow. Staff were more interested in there own conversations than service. However they were attentive when called and the food was good on the whole...one fish pie had to be requested to be reheated as it was not warm in the centre.

Didn't realise that Cote and other restaurants were there along the Kingston riverside. Great position. It was a lovely evening with people sitting outside as well as inside so they were pretty busy. Also it was the first day of a new specials menu and (according to the person who greeted us - ?the manager) the kitchen were having a few problems satisfying orders so we were warned we might have had to wait a while for our food. However all was fine and although we perhaps had to wait a bit longer than normal, it wasn't a problem. Our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed the food. Although it's not our nearest Cote, it's certainly a useful place to eat after shopping.
