We enjoyed a pre-theatre meal thanks to great service and very good food. The staff make the experience very enjoyable and hassle free far better than some London eateries.

New menu started that day and there was a lot of confusion with orders. The manageress was charming and apologetic, food was delicious but the waiter was very dismissive and off hand and we did not feel that our custom was valued.

As regular diners, we never cease to be amazed at the choices offered on the lunchtime menu, the quality of the cooking and the the cheerful, efficient manner in which the members of the waiting staff go about their business.

Excellent service, delicious food reasonably priced. What's not to like? All the staff appear to be trained to a high standard, it shows and is appreciated. Well done Cote!

The service was not the best and the food neither. The waiter didn’t even know which food was for whom and couldn’t make the difference between the meats. Also how he served wine was not well done.

Good food, terrible service, lousy coffee. In need of proper management and more staff. Service was surly and slow and coffee tasted more like hot milk and water. Food is consistently good which rescued it up to a point.

Fabulous Tasty food however my Calamari starter was unusually smaller than previous times hence mark of 5 instead of 6. Hope this is not Cote cost cutting !

It really needed more staff as it was very busy and that would have shortened the waiting time. The food was good and the staff were pleasant even under pressure.

Table booked for 18.15 but none available on arrival. Crazy busy ahead of theatre start nearby @ 19.30. Did not appear to be enough staff front of house but they did brilliantly. Once service started it progressed seamlessly. All courses arrived in good time, including side dishes from main menu, everything was cooked perfectly. Faultless. What more can you ask for?

The food is always good in Cote Brasserie and very reasonably priced, unfortunately today the service did not come up to scratch as they had a computer glitch with orders going to the kitchen so there was almost an hour gap between our starter and main course. The staff were doing their best but if my friend and I had been on a lunch hour we would have not been able to eat our main course.

After a small respite from using this fine restaurant , we returned to find the ambience unchanged and still very friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was still a high quality ( recommend the the Walnut , chicken salad. the chicken now wonderfully chargrilled due to the attention of a newly employed chef ) Excellent, 6 stars !!!!

Friendly obliging staff, the food was as good as usual with plenty of choice and special offers. Highly recommended if you like French cuisine. Ours was a pre-theatre visit so it was important that the service was prompt, which it was.

Although the restaurant was extremely busy, our service wasn't at it's best. That tables are pushed Very close together, I cannot stand it when a waiter/waitress leans across the table to serve and remove plates, at one time the waiter caught his sleeve on my roll and butter. When serving our dessert, the waiter was very engrossed in new customers entering and just plonked my guests dessert down without even looking where it landed.

Been to Cote several times recently at lunchtime and been impressed with quality of food, interesting menu, good service and overall value for money. On this particular day we had booked in for 1315. It was very busy and the serving staff were obviously under pressure coping with numbers. Our order was taken promptly enough but there was a pretty long delay was taken before the first course arrived. Fortunately we were not on a tight schedule and so I didn't say anything at the time. Once the food arrived the meal then proceeded at a good pace. I was impressed at the end when (without being asked) they offered a reasonable discount in view of the slow service.

Always good food and value for money. I have a hearing problem and ask for a table upstairs which is quieter, however, they had not opened up stairs, but very, very kindly took our desserts off the bill.

The Cote restaurant in Tunbridge Wells is not the best that we have visited. The menu choice was good, service excellent but the Boeuf Bourguignon was rather average, as was the Tuna Nicoise.

Good food. Slow service. Reasonable value. Cote is formulaic - I had lunch at the Richmond branch last week and the menu was the same. Normally service is good but on this occasion I had to ask twice for our pudding order and everything seemed to take a long time.

Food very salty, service very good. Clearly the chef doesn’t taste food before it gets sent out. I usually enjoy eating at Cote restaurants but I would think twice about returning to this one

Despite not being busy the service was slow and some of the dishes were significantly colder than one might expect. Although they refused to concede that the service was slow, for no other reason that I could suppose, the bill had a deduction that was not requested.

Our meal was excellent as always and the staff were very welcoming and speedy. We were tucked away in a room with wooden floors which meant that it was a quieter area, which we like, as we find it difficult to hear if a place is very noisy.
