Friendly attentive staff, wide choice on menu, delicious food. Good choice of wines. Small selection of good French beers and ciders. Reasonable prices. Poor acoustics.

Food disappointing on this occasion.. The 'special' fish was mushy and overlooked. The accompanying salad was so drowned in dressing that I couldn't taste the fish. I have had so many meals spoilt here by the heavy handedness of the salad dressing but sometimes forget to ask for it on the side. The restaurant was so noisy I couldn't hear my friend speak.

We had a very nice Birthday lunch at Cote. In the Kingston Cote it really does make a difference who your waiter is, Ours was particularly nice, very efficient and attentive. Our choice of food was excellent, pear and goats cheese starter for me followed by haddock parmentier and calarmari and steak frites for sir. Lovely. Washed down with Kir Royals.

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 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.

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 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!

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.
