This restaurant never fails to please. I chose from the Prestige menu which changes monthly and the choice suitable for most tastes, I’d have thought. The staff are efficient, friendly and so when combined with the great value food makes the whole dining experience most enjoyable.

Great food for children, not a chicken nugget in sight! Staff happy to exchange carrots for peas and beans for carrots for the grandchildren. Also happy to bring plates and cutlery to enable sharing of one pudding. My steak frites excellent. Ketchup, mayo and mustard brought in attractive pots. Very enjoyable dining experience, staff lovely

Food good, service was slow, we seemed to be forgotten and had to moan about it. Toilets too far away and up a significant number of stairs

Surprised at service charge ,why not pay staff a little more and let the clients tip for good service, which was in fact very good. We enjoyed the visit but !!! We enjoyed the food by the way.

The restaurant was packed but the service was quick and efficient and all our food was delicious. Three courses plus an alcoholic drink for my husband and me, all for about £40: excellent value.

The restaurant was very busy with a pre-theatre crowd, but service was impeccable and friendly; the food was excellent (as usual). One of my favourite restaurants locally. We had to wait a bit longer because of the number of patrons, but that was acceptable in the circumstances.

Good food well presented and reasonable prices. GOOD ATMOSPHERE. Service responsive without being intrusive. The Crab Bisque was a little peppery but improved with the addition of butter. French Onion Soup delicious.

A long lunch, a set menu of a very tasty cauliflower, followed by a beautifully well cooked haddock on crushed peas, which was delicious, and a pot au chocolat which was all nicely executed. Service, while good, still feels occasionally ever so slightly rushed, meaning the staff get very little time to build any kind of rapport with their guests. Still well worth a visit, nevertheless. The manager is still excellent.

As always, good food and pleasant staff. As service goes, it can occasionally feel a little bit rushed, or a little bit impersonal. The manager is excellent.

Well received and table ready. Somewhat slow in taking orders which was a bit disconcerting but quick after that. Food voted good and represents good value for money. Noise level fairly high and one of our party with hearing problems declared it impossible!

We had a great evening for my husband's birthday. The staff were very kind, we had the perfect table after requesting somewhere quiet. Steak was cooked perfectly and the little touches for his birthday made him feel spoilt- THANK YOU. The chocolate mousse was deliciously rich and had a high chocolate content. 😀

nice food, quality, service was OK quite a noisy atmosphere though, not ideal when with a group of people as makes conversation difficult Quite a bit of a wait between starters (which were very quick to arrive) and the main. Still one of my favourites restaurants in Tunbridge Wells, quite authentic and close to French food (I am French myself!)

Usual friendly service and tasty brasserie food served at a good pace on a busy Friday lunchtime. My wife pronounced her mushroom brioche and haddock delicious and I also enjoyed my melon an ham, followed by a moist and tasty half chicken.

We booked a table for 6 people for a Saturday night. When we arrived there seemed to be some confusion and eventually 3 tables were hastily pushed together. The service was ok but quite formal with little attempt to engage with us. We were told one of our party’s order was not available after 10 mins! So our friend had to order another. The food was good when it arrived so no problem there. Cote automatically added a tip to the bill. I and my friends do not like this policy - in fact it turns us away from offering a tip at all. We therefore asked for this to be removed.

I've been a few times before and this was as good as those. Great food, a nice simple clean menu which was delivered well, on time and and by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Good atmosphere on a Saturday night for an early dinner (18:30).

Unfortunately out of 2 out of our 3 main course orders were cold and when they were brought back to us after having been ‘warmed’ they were still cold. I couldn’t eat mine. Also, We had ordered 2 Belly of Pork, and I thought it looked different to what I had eaten the previous week in your Ixford branch, I thought perhaps it had just been plated up different, however whit we actually got was duck. Neither I nor my friend eat duck, but my friend had already eaten his when we actually found that out!! The manager was very nice and did reduce our bill, but I had only Eastenders melon and Parma ham and some ice cream so had to eat when I got home at 10:00pm. It has not put me off going to Cote as I have always loved the food and we had a nice evening anyway though and as I have said the manager was lovely and very helpful as were all the staff that served us.

A poor experience, the Staff were good and very helpful, the minute steaks were full of gristle, but the main complaint is the unbearable noise level in the restaurant. some acoustic panels or soft furnishings would help.

My friend and I enjoyed another excellent meal at Cote Tunbridge Wells. It has become our go-to restaurant for lunch - lovely surroundings, great vibe and the lunchtime set menu is great value for money. I had the rabbit parmentier which was delicious, followed by creme caramel, one of the Cote signature dishes which has never been bettered in any restaurant I've been to anywhere, including France! The staff are friendly and welcoming but also attentive and professional - the perfect combination.

Very good food and friendly service. Went early evening as later we were going to Theatre nearby. Started nice & quiet but a steady crescendo began to mar and toward the end of the meal the restaurant became very loud which is the only reason for marking down slightly. For main I had pork belly and my wife the steak, both most enjoyable.

Food was great; service was pretty bad. After being given the dessert menu we waited 30 mins before we were asked if we wanted anything, and by that point we needed the bill - waited another 20 before got up and went to the door to pay.
