Outstanding customer service. We arrived with vouchers for a free Kir Royale. The waitress noticed them before we had even presented them and arrived to take our order armed with a tray of drinks! A lovely touch. We had our first course which was delicious - Eggs Benedict and Mackerel Rillettes - and then my husband became unwell. (nothing to do with the food, which was perfect). We had to leave in a rush and our waitress, Gaby, was incredibly kind, offering to call an ambulance or a taxi. She even asked me to let her know how my husband was the next day. Just outstanding care and concern. We eat at Cote regularly and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Much too expensive now. Cost over £70 for two without wine! Used to be a reasonable night out but no longer is this the case

4 of us ate there last night. We only had an hour before the theatre so we’re very tight for time. The staff were very accommodating, making sure they took our order quickly. Despite the rush the food was very good and the service very attentive. Always have a good experience at this restaurant.

The meal was excellent unfortunately due to bad planning the upstairs was invaded by 26 people celebrating a 25th birthday party They initially had no where to sit so it was extremely loud and all the other customers ended up leaving Cotes, we’re extremely apologetic and refunded our bill.

Old was good but the Resturant was very drafty which spoilt the atmosphere slightly would benefit from hot air blower over the door apart from. That all’s fine

I booked online on arrival we were shown upstairs despite many tables still available downstairs. Our table for two was beside the coffee machine and waiters service area, it should never have been there we soon realised it totally squashed in. In fact looking around I thought most of the tables for two upstairs looked cramped . However five minutes after us anothr table for two were shown to a larger table for four. There was constant clatter noise and waiters standing around us,from the service area. It was a very cold night and I noticed everyone had 5heir coats squashed in aro7nd them, on the banquette seat there was no where to put it, waters ignored this, cer5ainly I saw no coats being taken or hung up. The meal itself: At least four dishes had run out on the menu, two mains two starters. We were advised of three not being available. The staff looked very rushed, and not happy, my food was ok, my husband said his chicken was dry, it looked it. Not happy with 12.5 service charge, which we felt was too much considering our experience. Doubt we shall return there are many other places to choose from.

The food was very good. The bill with an added 12% service charge was a cheek. If I want to tip the waiting staff for their attentiveness then I will do so. As I was preparing to pay the bill by cash, I had included a tip, only to find A service charge. Does all the 12% go to the staff. If this is Cote's policy I will not bother returning, there are plenty of customer friendly restaurants in Tunbridge Wells

Staff always very welcoming and food, as always, value for money and tasty. The only downside is the noise when the restaurant is busy, very hard to have a conversation.

Far too noisy. Had requested quiet table but quite the opposite.. Love your food but cannot cope with noise. Was at Sevenoaks yesterday when they turned downy sic which made it better. Please do away with music. Today I had book ed quiet table Five days ago but not available. There was a quiet tBle in the corner but s told it had en booked but I had also booked way ahead. No one turned up for the quiet table. The noise was deafening. I took out my hearing aids! I love your food but. Cannot cope with noise!!!

The food was very good with lots of gluten free options for a coeliac sufferer like myself. But what makes this restaurant chain a cut above the rest is the excellent service. Can't wait to go back!

As always there was a great atmosphere and the food was above average. The service was pretty good although we did have to wait for a while for our order to be taken, but this could have been because we took so long to decide and the waitress had to come back three times! Would not say it was particularly cheap but the three course set menu is pretty good value for money. Will certainly visit again.

Always a good experience, wonderful food and a particularly lovely house red. The food was slow to arrive this time, as it was very busy and the staff seemed rushed off their feet, but once it did we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The lamb special was particularly good. My only bugbear is that I receive offers from Cotes for free wine with our meal if I book through a particular link... but the restaurant never knows anything about it. The last time this happened I asked the staff and they were totally mystified. This time I booked through the offer link again and still the restaurant knew nothing about it but this time I didn't pursue it. Sort your offers out Cote!!!

Sadly did not feel our meal was as good as usual. My husband’s soup was cold (we did get it reheated), my crab mayonnaise starter was not as tasty as usual and the burgers my husband and children had were a little over cooked. Disappointed as Cote is usually reliably good.

I was so disappointed with the “Fish Stew” dry & a few Shrivelled shell fish . Very small portion. Similar to my partners boeuf borginon. I will call into explain. I did not want to spoil our evening by complaining yesterday. I hope to be offered some compensation.

The food was gorgeous and the service was very good but sadly the ambiance of our romantic meal for two was ruined as we were seated next to a group of 4 very excitable and high pitched young women so we could barely even have a conversation with each other over the noise. We was very disappointed.
