Côte Tunbridge Wells

Very busy pre show due to proximity to Assembly Theatre. Food and service were fine. Tables rather close together, which did make talking difficult. A reasonable Cotes.

The only reason not to give 6 is because tables weren’t cleared quickly enough to be able to offer customers the best restsurant tables on arrival. Those hadn’t been cleared. So we had a poor table. Food and service very good though.

Service is always friendly and courtious! Always a wonderful social and culinary experience. The venue for those who enjoy French Brasserie food. Will definitely be going again!

Was busy and quite noisy when we arrived about 5 minutes early. Greeted pleasantly and taken to our table for 6. Menus distributed. Drinks ordered. Every thing fine. Food was great. Good selection. A touch slow to arrive, but we understood as busy before Theatre. 6 happy dinners.

Even though we had booked we were ushered to one of the worst seats .It was Sat so appreciate they were busy Our food came on a plate too small so chicken was hanging over the edge. My companion thought her chicken to be jellyish and her beans stringy I have had the chicken there before and must say it wasn’t as good this time However my beans were not stringy and potatoes were fine Companion says she will never go again

Great meal and efficient service as we were going to the theatre. Steak and frites from the before 6pm menu was tender preceded by a very nice warm tiger prawn salad.

We booked a table for a pre-theatre dinner some 2 hours before the show start time. Unfortunately we had to ask three times for someone to come and take our order, and when they did it was 45 minutes later. Knowing time was marching on we then had to ask for someone to come and clear our starter plates so the Kitchen would know we were ready for our main course. That arrived 45 minutes before our show started so we had to rush it, and had no time to order dessert or coffee. The only thing tat arrived quickly was the bill! As far as the food was concerned one of our party had a vegetarian Butternut Squash Cake main course that they said was very nice. Three had the minute steak from the pre-theatre "before 7pm menu" which was described on the menu as "Steak Frites (2,00 supplement), chargrilled thinly beaten out minute steak served pink with frites and garlic butter". I'm not sure whether the Chef was wearing rose tinted spectacles but all three "minute" steaks were very brown, overcooked, and quite tough. Unfortunately as we were then extremely tight for time we didn't have time to challenge the bill as we were late for the Theatre. Very disappointed in this restaurant experience.

Thank you all for making my birthday very special. The food was delicious, the kir royale a real treat, the service was excellent and the special pudding yummy. And then you gave me some beautiful flowers, how very thoughtful and a real surprise. Speechless!!

It was the first day of the new Prestige set menu so thought we’d try it. It’s an excellent addition to the already first class choice offered by the other two menus. The food was delicious, great value and the service professional; prompt, courteous and always with a smile. We have never failed to enjoy dining at Côte Tunbridge Wells and most heartily recommend it.

Very happy to see they have introduced a new prestige set menu during the week, excellent value. Food was excellent service was good. Can't wait to go back.

Good food and atmosphere as usual. Not noisy, so easy to carry out a conversation without disturbing others. Very good value and very good location.

We had the fish cakes and the steak fritters from the special menu accompanied by 2 side orders. The side orders, peas and carrots were a little on the small side, and we had to ask for extra. We went there about 3 o'clock on a Friday afternoon and found it to be very noisy.

Very good service and nice food. Booking was easy. Staff were pleasant. My sister in law and I have met here before and will come again.

Unfailingly good food. Never eaten a bad meal here. Good quality without the price tag, fast service. One of my favourites for lunch with friends or meal with family

Excellent service ,excellent food , ambiance and wine ! We had the steak and chicken in mushroom sauce .They were both of very high standard .We would definitely return !

My wife and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on Saturday night and we enjoyed an amazing night at Cote in Tunbridge Wells. The staff decorated our table and provided my wife with a very nice bunch of flowers, which was unexpected and a great touch. On top of that the food was outstanding, I had the Pork Belly, which was the best I've ever had and my wife had the Duck, which again was 1st class. In addition, I'd like to thank Gabi for arranging the evening for us and helped make the evening a memorable occasion for us both. Great night and thank you so much to all at the restaurant!!!

Went for breakfast on a Sunday service has improved from the last time I visited. The food was good had to send my toast back as it was more lunch like warm bread but apart from that all good.

Very good. Service was quick and attentive and food was of a good standard. We all enjoyed our meal and will undoubtedly come again soon.

Service far too fast , no more than 5mins between starter an main , steak very fatty had to temove some as couldnt chew it disappointed especially for nearly £20 , peppercorn sause all pepper corns not sause very small pot for the money . Was first time there and afraid wont be rushing back

Excellent pre theatre menu and good service provided by the staff. Busy restaurant but fast service. Enjoyed the evening by all of us. Will go again soon.

Great choice of food, very well cooked, extremely good value and efficient cheerful service. What more would one want for a lunch with good friends.

Fantastic food and service. Staff very attentive. Great menu. A bit noisy but this improved as the evening went on. Would definitely book again. Than you.

Côte Tunbridge Wells is based on lovely location in the middle of town. The service is very good and the staff are helpful and friendly. The food is is good quality and the lunchtime / pre 7.00 pm set menu is excellent value. The wine-list is limited but there is always a bottle to found in your price range that will complement the food. All in all a good dining experience.

Great food excellent service Most enjoyable will visit again Interesting menu varied choice Great venue in the heart of the town Fantastic all round will definitely recommend to friends and family

Food was good, nicely presented. Great to have a free bottle of wine because of a special offer. Only reason it wasn’t 6 is that we had to ask twice for a bottle of sparkling water and the French beans were over cooked.

Excellent service, food and value for money as always. Staff are always very friendly and helpful. Extensive menu and excellent location in the centre of town.

The table was as requested. Our grandchildren ate everything and we were pleased you could cope with Dairy free and gluten free for Isabell. The four adults were pleased with their choices.

Great location with outdoor seating for sunny days. The Formula breakfast is excellent with a good choice of food accompanied by a jug of water, fruit juice and tea or coffee. Service is always served with a smile. Enjoy.

The food was very late to arrive (starter then main) with little communication or apology. I normally like this restaurant but the experience this time was very disappointing.

First visit. Food was very good and fresh. Portions not too enormous. Prices reasonable, All the staff were helpful, efficient and friendly. We will definitely return to eat there again.

We had a 2 course lunch which was £11.50 so great price .Beautifully presented and extremely tasty food, friendly staff, I would defiantly recommend to all.

A very pleasant experience, all my guests were well Fead, the bill for the lunch was quite reasonable and the table for nine persons was well attended. Well done we will do it again.

Excellent service and food.cannot fault.was asked if we would like outside.but chose inside. Was also told food would take a little longer as we chose fish pie and lamb chops. But no problem.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. The staff, the food, the way we were waited upon. We have been to Cote many times and every time we eat there we long to go back again because we are nevere disappointed.

Lovely meal and because we had to wait over 10 mins to order at our table, we were given our first drink on the house without us even having to complain that we had been kept waiting.

It was a lovely Al fresco experience. The food was very good as always. My steak was cold but they brought me a fresh plate of food very quickly. The staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Very good as always Good service happy faces and hot plates

Busy and service was stretched. Difficult to get attention. Good enough, nice food. Good about child not eating food and not charging for a reorder.

We arrived at 6.00pm for our pre theatre meal so we had a kir royals on the house. He manageress offered outside seating or inside and as it was such a lovely evening we sat outside. We were attended to quickly and, as usual, we had a very enjoyable 3 course supper. We are both vegetarian and enjoyed the Tarte tatine followed by the squash risotto and couldn’t resist the apple crumble, our favourite desert.

Helpful and courteous staff, very welcoming. Prompt service and meal was up to its usual excellent standard. Also very pleasant surroundings. We were impressed with the venue

Cote is always consistently good. Food was wonderful and reasonably priced. Great waiter. Very attentive and got all his timings spot on! Could have done with some more shade/umbrellas outside as I got very burnt!

WStaff welcoming, food excellent. Met up with friend, a lot to catch up with. Relaxing atmosphere and were given time to have conversation between courses. Good experience.

Great service & food ... a birthday lunch al fresco on a lovely sunny afternoon... perfect! Will definitely come back again soon for more! Great for people watching!

Service excellent. Food quality reasonable (why could I not have my burger medium rare?). Portion sizes too small (chips came in something designed to hold dice...).

Really good service . Good location Food very good but ensure you order a side as the fish is rather on the small side. Overall we would visit again

Had a nice evening Thursday of last week. Still find lots of dishes do not come served with vegetables, particularly some sort of potatoes. But love the food, have never had a bad meal .

We enjoyed the usual slick pre-theatre service, with the familiar good food quality maintained. Exactly what we wanted. Pleasant, attentive waitress service, well-paced without us feeling in any way rushed.

Very good. Tuna rilletes were full of flavour, my goat cheese, chicory and golden raisin salad was very tasty. Husband had steak fries, as usual. I had delicious salmon fish cakes. Excellent lunch, wonderful service too.

The restaurant became very busy as they had a pre-theatre offer on so we were glad we had booked. The staff were very friendly and helpful, not phased by the fact that every table was full, and the food and drink were delivered to our table very promptly. Have already raved to friends about the evening ( the food and wine was fantastic) and will definitely return.

Restaurant is in really lovely location, the atmosphere is pleasant and the staff can't do enough for you however the food, although nice, was just a little bit disappointing unfortunately.
