Côte Tunbridge Wells

We enjoyed a very good breakfast and the service was excellent. A small mix up with scrambled/fried eggs was quickly and politely sorted out. Highly recommended

Very nice meal, good service (very busy, but we didn't need much attention). Food all good, only criticism is that the chicken salad wasn't too easy to eat in the deep bowl, would have been better on a plate.

I have always enjoyed going to Côte but this time my meal wasn’t cooked properly and when I pointed it out was very impressed as a fresh meal was prepared and they took the cost off my bill as I had to wait a while. Can’t fault the service and food finally was delicious.

Understaffed. The staff are good but run off their feet. So everything takes forever or is forgotten. A shame as the service used to be very good.

Good food service was poor, waited for 30 mins for the bill to be given after not even being offered dessert menus. Then had to wait another 5 mins for the card machine. Ruined what was a nice evening and won’t be in a rush to return.

A visit to Côte Brasserie for a pre-theatre meal never fails to please , the food as usual was excellent with friendly and polite staff, in a really nice setting.

Very easy and excellent service to book a table at coats restaurant in Tunbridge Wells. Would definitely recommend this approach and would use service again.

Arrived at 5.30 for a pre dinner meal but main course did not arrive until 7.05!! This was after many conversations but very little in the way of explanation or response regarding progress from the management. They clearly had a problem in the kitchen but keeping the customer informed is paramount. This just did not happen. We left in time to run to the theatre. We told them that we would not be paying the bill and this was accepted by the manager. Simply dreadful particularly as the promote pre theatre dining!!!

Table booked as part of a theatre offer. Due to slow being seated, long wait for main course we missed 10mins of the show :-(

Very very poor. Took and hour and a half to get starters and we sat diwn at 5.30 and our starters arrived 6.55. (After complaining) and then dinner arrived at 7.10pm when we had to be at Assembly Halls by 7.30. Went with my parents to celebrate my mums birthday with dinner and show and we ended up leaving most of our dinner (steaks were badly cooked) and not having pudding or coffee. A very rushed, poor meal.

Extremely busy, long delays for food. Some people left after waiting 45 mins for their meals. Staff trying hard but seemed understaffed in kitchen. The table we had was by doorway into service area and lots of noise from plates, bottles etc. Food was okay but not worth the money.

We arrived at 5.45, ordered drinks, starter and main course. Starter arrived after over an hour, left at 7.05 before the main course arrived (hungry) to get to the theatre on time. Problem with the till apparently??? However, in their favour, they did not charge us.

Always a great experience when we eat at the Cote restaurant, staff food and service exceed most people’s expectations. Well done team at Cote Tunbridge Wells keep the good work up.

Good service considering it was very busy! Food was lovely and reasonable prices. Specials menu offered something different than the normal menu. Cote de Provence was exceptional.

Love Côte - been regulars for many years. Service ALWAYS friendly, warm and super efficient. Menu choice and food quality consistently good. What more can you say.

Very busy so service was a bit slow. Didn’t have time for pudding as we had to go to a show straight afterwards. Food was fine. Waitress was very apologetic. Bless!

We had the 2 course lunch menu for £11.95 which was good value. The haddock was very tasty. The restaurant was busy, and so rather noisy. It also meant service was a little slow but luckily we weren't in a hurry. There was a scene at the table next to us and the manager gave us our coffee and tea for free which was a nice gesture, as it hadn't really affected us, and we certainly hadn't asked!

Dirty tables and glasses. It is a bit of a pain to have to pick bits of green (salad leaves?) that have been through a dishwasher off glasses. the table looked as though it had been wiped by a cloth that had cleaned a floor. Everything else was not too bad but the dirty table and glasses (4 in total) was an unnecessary let-down

Food and service was very good, Pork Belly was very good! Unfortunately my dad had the half chicken and whilst nice he felt it was a little dry. My wife had the minute steak with frites and as usual was very good. At a busy lunchtime the main room does become a little noisy but nice central town location.

Nice meal, efficient service, lovely atmosphere. All we wanted . There is nothing else I want to add but the review asks for 25 words ! Now that is stupid !

Visited early before going to local theatre, quick and friendly service even though the restaurant was very busy, food very good too! Would highly recommend.

Food and service up to the usual excellent standard we have grown to expect from a cote restaurant but the noise level spoilt our enjoyment of the occasion

Indifferent service and very poor to leave the restaurant we had to ask for the bill three times and the final time was to the manager directly and we then paid in cash without the discretionary tip , spoilt what should have been a nice lunch

Good service with friendly staff. Good set menu. Ideal location for dining before going to the Assembly Halls. Free glass of prosecco a nice touch

Very good and prompt service thank you, as we were going to the theatre the food was very good and there were no problems Friendly staff as always 👍

Great food and service and it was very well priced.Just the right amount of time between courses.We had a lovely evening and will return very soon.

we all enjoyed Great Food, and had a nice evening ! the service was good polite and prompt. We will go back there for more things to celebrate!!

Excellent food and efficient service from happy friendly staff table booked for 3 people online which was easy. Restaurant was clean and seemed popular with locals always a sign of somewhere good to eat.

Great food, switched on staff, but a wobbly table!... complimentary drinks were offered to celebrate our sons birthdays which was nice and they sung happy birthday, although one of our steaks wasn’t so great. Maybe ask people how their food is a little further into the meal, they asked so soon we handn’t got to try everything... but I’m being fussy here, it really was a lovely evening.

We had an excellent meal which was served promptly & on lovely hot plates. The food was delicious & there was a good range of dishes on the menu. Staff were friendly & welcoming & I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Excellent service. Attentive staff. Tasty food. Set menus good value. Great for meeting friends before an evening out at the Trinity Theatre or possibly the Assembly Rooms.

Great food and service but we were near a cupboard in which the waiters loudly, chucked the dirty dishes - such a strange and annoying system.

Always great food and excellent service. Especially today when four starters weren’t as expected, we received a complimentary bottle of wine. Thank you for this consideration

It is by far the best experience I have had at Cote. Great food and excellent, helpful and accommodating service. We will definitely return soon

As always, excellent friendly service. The Entrecote was delicious as was the fish stew. Our four year old daughter is welcomed and made to feel at home.

Great meal once again - had the pre-theatre menu with a glass of Kir Royale - great value and good selection. Waitress that looked after us was very pleasant

Lovely food, good choice on the daily menu, lovely wine, generally a delightful experience. We went early evening before a meeting and the place was buzzing even at 6pm.

Great place for brunch. The best eggs benedict ever. The croque madam equally good and a good value set breakfast. The sun was shining couldn’t ask for more!

Great for pre theatre dinner but you must booked. Despite being very busy we received great service and the food was excellent value for money. Please note that there is a disabled toilet tucked away so you do not need to walk up two flights of stairs if you have a disability.

The food is fabulous but the service very slow, not enough cover. . The staff are very professional and helpful though. We will return and hope there are more staff next time

There were a couple of problems with the dishes we ordered (one slightly undercooked steak, and one extremely tough steak), but when this was brought to the staff's attention both issues were quickly and politely remedied. We would certainly be very happy to visit again.

Excellent food and attentive service for a very decent priced lunch. Have been to T Wells Cote many times and would always recommend. Table for three and we all enjoyed - plus the wine and beer.

Delicious food and excellent service!! I don't usually do dessert but the Creme Caramel is to die for. Perfect place to go pre-theatre. Charming waitresses.

A lovely family celebration with a very efficient waitress. We were taking advantage of an offer which increased our enjoyment of the food which, as always, was the same standard as in other Cotes.

Ideal location for Theatre Royal with it being just across the road! Good value fixed menu of 2 or 3 courses. With theatre ticket enjoyed 'free' glass of fizz!

Excellent food + friendly and efficient service. The restaurant is light and airy with plenty of space between tables, so not claustrophobic like many. Highly recommended.

Very good service for pre- theatre dinner, our waitress was great, the food was well prepared and especially tasty. Even nicer was the free glass of prosecco!

We went for lunch before a matinee performance at Trinity. The service was good (we had told our waiter we needed to be out in time for the performance) and the food was excellent. A light lunch of salmon, asparagus and new potatoes followed by lemon sorbet. Just perfect for a very hot Bank Holiday Sunday.

Good food and ambiance, service pretty good and food arrived quite quickly. We had a brunch only and it was a meal we have quite regularly at the same branch.

Wonderful food, best salmon ever in a restaurant, wine list ticked all the boxes, staff very attentive could not have asked for more, and good value. A pleasant experience, see them soon.
