Côte St Katharine's Docks

A group of 6 had a celebration meal at St Katherine's Dock yesterday. We sat on the verandah looking out over the dock, position couldn't have been better. Food and staff were great, and to complete our evening's visit, Cote gave us a bottle of bubbly to enjoy with the birthday girl. Thank you for everything, just a shame we had to leave very smartly as we had a function to carry on to. Will definitely be visiting again.

We booked a long time in advance with a request to be seated by a window as we had visitors from abroad. On arrival we were told the table we wanted was booked for another party. Had they really booked before us? I doubt it. It would not have mattered if we had had an apology that they could not meet our request, but it was all rather off-hand. As a regular visitor to Côte we felt this was not their usual standard.

Have eaten at other Cote restaurant where everything was great and thus selecting this branch. Service was poor and having been seated waited what seemed eternity to be approached to take an order (at this point had to specifically ask if we could order some drinks). 3 of our party ordered ribeye steaks. One in particular was for the large part uneditably fatty. Whilst at end of meal Manager said that she had not been happy with the meat supplies she had been receiving recently and deducted this cost of this particular steak from the bill, she at no time bothered to come across and personally apologise to the guest (who was visiting from the USA) concerned. Service generally was poor with waitresses for the most part seeming disinterested. Could not get out of the restaurant quick enough when the entry and seating of a very loud group of guys completed a very forgettable evening.

Great food in a beautiful setting with friendly attentive staff. Seasonal menus with reasonable priced drinks. Ideal for a business lunch or girlie catch up

Great service despite being so busy. When we were told that a dish wasn't available we were given some free bread which was a nice gesture.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at St Katherine's Dock. Beautiful setting with lots of fantastic boats moored right outside windows. Food was very good and the service was good, too.

Very nice food and helpful staff. I did ask specially for a quiet table and this request seems to have been ignored, but it didn't really matter as the restaurant was not very full.

Great food, lovely setting, very good service and good value overall. We will definitely be adding this to our favourites list. Well done Cote- you exceeded our expectations.

As always food superb and service impeccable. Lovely location also. Nothing is ever too much of a problem and belonging to the friends of Côte always means great offers.

Food was delicious. Service was excellent. It was my parents 30th wedding anniversary and they gave us sparkling wine and desserts on the house as a congratulations! Will definitely return!

On holiday in London and booked into the Bridge Theatre for the evening performance so chose Cote for our pre-theatre meal. Food and service excellent. When remarked that the main dish had been a bit on the cool side, the response was immediate and first class in terms of customer service.

Excellent Service, great food as always, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal in a wonderful location. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and will be coming again very soon.

The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. When I called to make a phone reservation the staff were not willing to offer a seat outside and explained that these seats were given on a first come first served basis despite the fact that a booking service is available. The food was delicious and bought out in a timely way and all together. The second round of drinks took a over 10 minutes to arrive and a portion of fries that was ordered together with the round of mains came around 10 minutes after and only when staff were prompted.

Reservation handled effortlessly. Offered a table outside in the shade. Chose the quick menu of chilled vichyssoise and chicken salad. But sent the salad back as unsure if the endive leaf was washed or not, certainly many black speckled on the edges, and it was tired, limp and shrivelled. It was replaced, but my colleague had finished his meal before my replacement arrived.

Had a lovely lunch with friends, however I ordered the seafood linguine and was very disappointed. I had food envy as the pork belly is so much better, but as I had had this before I wanted to try something different. It was really bland and the shellfish were really gritty. Next time I will order the pork belly!

Great food and service-just let down by poor air conditioning in the area that we were sitting and became very stuffy. Would recommend to others.

The food and service was excellent. The location was fantastic. The only reason why I gave it a 5 and not a 6 was because you only had watercress on your plate as apposted to a bit of side salad. And the side salads that I ordered the lettuce was a brown on the edges

Very happy with our recent visit to The St. Katharine Docks, offered outside heated terrace table to dine which gave us a beautiful view. Food very prompt and tasty. Slight problem with the bill at checkout but sorted out straight away. Would definitely recommend

Good food, good value, slowish service, very wobbly tables. Nice setting overlooking St. Katharine's Dock but alas, we had to move inside as the weather turned cool & windy.

Great food as always at Cote. Friendly staff who were very attentive and the wine was very reasonable for the price. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Service was very slow, mains took over 30 mins to come out once our starters were cleared and we saw a member of staff come out of the stall in the ladies bathroom, fail to wash her hands and then go behind the bar and start handling glassware. Not impressed. The actual food was fine when it finally came.

Decent food and the set menu was quite reasonable. Service was a little inconsistent but fine overall. The restaurant manager seemed to be on the ball. Too many kids.

Been to this Cote multiple times and it has always been fantastic. Tonight it was ok. Ordered a rare ribeye steak and it came medium. The waitress was quite abrupt and stroppy. However overall it was still nice.

The staff were a little overworked and we had to wait a while for service a couple of times, but the food was delicious and the location is amazing.

Good food, good value, good atmosphere. Bit surprised though when one of our party ordering from a set menu was asked to choose her dessert at the same time has her main course (never happened before at other branches) and then had to wait for it to arrive after the other 3 of us got ours

The restaurant serves Excellent food, is in a great location, the menus are all good value for money and the staff are lovely. Can’t fault it

It’s a great venue with attentive service and delicious food. Have made several repeat visits.

I just love this restaurant....the setting and the service was outstanding (thank you Michal) as always. My sea bass was superb. However, I have marked down because my dining companion felt that his vichyssoise was rather bland and could have done with a bit more seasoning and the marriage of chicken and Roquefort cheese in the Chicken Paillard salad was not exactly made in heaven. But hey ho not every choice in this life is perfect. The crème caramel made up for that. It is truly the best crème caramel I have ever tasted! Can't wait for next time!

Excellent service and lovely atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food. Very hot and tasty. Wish I could eat there more often. Lovely staff. So welcoming thank you

Had lunch. Good choice. - though 3 menus to decide from. Attentive service. Food good, reasonable size but not exceptional hence the 5 not 6 for the rating.

Great location, delicious food which is reasonably priced and wonderful accommodating staff who go that extra mile to help you feel comfortable and welcome. A worthwhile visit!

Absolutely Exceptional Food and Service. In 2015 my partner & I celebrated getting engaged on the finish line of the London Marathon so we enjoyed a lovely meal here for the occasion 3 plus years on the service and & food is still as good. Thank you again for a great evening.

The Food was as ever excellent, but the service was very slow. We attended for a business lunch and the delay meant our clients were late for their next appointment

The location is great and the outside space too. The food is good and the service excellent.

Great service. Staff were very friendly and food was excellent.

Lovely , great food, great service . Would recommend to friends and family

Lovely food and restaurant. Staff very kind and service amazing. Thank you for a lovely night out. Had the chicken and the dessert was lovely.

Enjoyed a lovely evening there last night with my daughter. The food was delicious . It was very busy lots of people eating outside the staff were run of there feet, but they were all very calm and pleasant, the young lady who served us was Deborah excellent , I was appalled that someone's baby had been sick all over the floor and they just carried on eating and drinking while Deborah cleaned it up, not once did she pull a face or grumbled she just got on with it with a smile. If that had been me I would have been very apologetic and cleaned it up myself, but perhaps EAstern Europe people don't do that. A very enjoyable evening and as I said the food was delicious , my local Cote is in Leeds and a go there frequently .

The food was fantastic and very promptly served as I finished each course. The only reason I haven't given full marks is because my waitress didn't order the side dish I asked for and I was not given the option to remove the gratuity it was just expected which I do not agree with, the option should ALWAYS be the customers. To add my waitress also took my card and did the contactless payment for me; I need to point out I did NOT ask her to.

Bustling branch of Cote, nice location in st Katherine’s docks. Swift, unobtrusive service and happy to let us stay and chat long after we’d finished ordering.

Nice meal. Relaxed atmosphere. Unfortunately one of our group had a small piece of China in their meal, but the staff were very apologetic and a reduction was made to our bill without any pressing from us, so I would rate the service as good.

Wonderful setting! Food and service excellent but had to wait 15 mins for bill as staff changeover. Did not spoil a lovely lunch. Thank you!

Lovely food and service - we will definitely go back again, the steak was soooo good!! The waiter was attentive and had a very nice manner

A real A La Carte restaurant. The food is good and the waiter can actually make a real liqueur coffee with proper double cream when asked!

Food was great, the pork belly was probably the nicest I've had. The staff were really nice, nothing too much trouble. Nice location a good place to start or finish your night out.

I have eaten in Cote literally hundreds of times and the St Katherine's Dock branch is my favourite but for the first time last night the food was not fantastic. The prawns and garlic starter had no garlic i could see or smell at all and came with soggy pieces of bread and a tasteless "canned tomatoes" sauce. Truly unappetising. The starter mussels for my husband were stone cold. The sea bass main course was tasty but again cold and the green beans were very undercooked. The steak tartar and Half Roast Chicken were good and we had no complaints there and the service was excellent but the above dishes really were poor last night. I am sorry to give this review as it is a family favourite for us.

Delicious meal in lovely surroundings with complimentary Kir Royale for my birthday. Friendly and helpful staff. All the dishes looked and tasted great. Enjoyed very much.

As with all my visits to Cote Brasseries at St Katharine's Dock, St Christopher's Place and St Martin's Lane - the saintly connection is pure chance but interesting - the food it good, wine great quality, prices excellent value for money and the service friendly and engaging. Keep it up!

As always Cote in St Katherine Docks never lets us down. A lovely setting in the City of London. Staff are very friendly and not overbearing and the food has always been very good, what more do you need.

Three of us had a lovely meal. Very attentive staff. What a beautiful location. We were celebrating a birthday and were extremely happy with our choice of venue.
