The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We will certainly will visit again. The only prblem we had, was that sitting by the window in the smaller of the two rooms,we were aware that smoke from two smokers sitting outside was pervading into the area where we were sitting. However,there was no problem about changing our table.

The restaurant has a very pleasant, amenable atmosphere on entering, which is further enhanced by the friendly welcome given by the staff. Having pre booked ( a necessity due to its popularity) one is quickly shown to a table and quickly asked if drinks are required as one considers the extensive and varied menu . One can recommend the delicious walnut and chicken salad but no matter what one chooses, one will not be disappointed . starters , Main courses and puddings are all reasonably priced and all delicious. The resulting bill is always reasonable considering the exquisite tastings one has just experienced . All in all, well recommended !!

Service was quite slow. Staff very nice. It was very busy. I had a fillet steak but it was clearly a sirloin with majority of the fat cut off. Wanted it rare but it was more like medium rare. Tasted ok but was not as tender if it had been a fillet. Quite disappointed to be honest.

Excellent service and food. The early evening menu very good value and varied choice on the menu. Venue very close to theatre. Suggest booking on theatre nights.

The staff are superb. Even though it is always busy and you may need to wait at the door ... you are always acknowledged while you wait. Phone calls are answered promptly and booking staff are friendly and accommodating on the phone. We keep going back again and again because every experience surpasses expectations. The last visit was a lunchtime outside in glorious sunshine which was a real bonus. Oh ... and the food and wine are divine!

The food was very good, but spoilt by the lack of attention to detail, ie lipstick on glasses! Generally staff were attentive and efficient .

We had a very nice meal at Côte, Tunbridge Wells. It was very busy and paying the bill took longer than it should have. The only real issue was that they sat us at a table next to the doors leading to the outside terrace where a handful of hardy customers (probably smokers) were sitting. The doors were constantly opened by waiting staff and not shut properly leaving us in a draft and having to regularly get up and shut the doors. We mentioned the problem to them and they said there was nowhere else we could sit. This did spoil our visit somewhat especially as everything else was fine.

Very good as usual, but any restaurant trading as 'French' should put free bread and water on the table without the customer having to ask.

Excellent meal - as always. New booking system is not as good as the old one as you cannot make any special requests e.g. for a favourite table. Food and service, however, were fantastic.

The food was excellent. Attentative service, especially with a 2 year old in tow. Recommend the crab starter. .....superb. The only downer was a warm glass for my beer. That was quickly rectified. Will be returning soon.

We visited at 6.30pm with a friend. We were greeted warmly and, as our table was not quite ready, we received a complimentary glass of prosecco, which was very welcome. After a few minutes we were seated and enjoyed excellent service and a delicious meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal; steak and frittes - do have the wild mushroom sauce with it! Desserts are to die for - especially the crepe with chocolate sauce, banana and cream - yum!

The food and service were, as always, excellent but we were a bit miffed not to be told the swordfish was unavailable until we ordered. At this level I would expect to be told that when we were handed the menus.

We had a miserable experience due to the management allowing the next table to be allocated to 6 or 8 younge mothers complete with babes in arms, complete with baby prams, with several of the babies crying. The meal was as always was good to excellent and the complimentary glass of ker was a most generous and our party of 4 found the wine we had with the meal similarly good. I have to say that this was the first time in our dining experience with Cote that we encountered this situation but it did spoil a birthday celebration.

We had a lovely meal at Cote Tunbridge Wells last night. My steak was excellent and cooked beautifully for my taste. The waiters and waitresses were very attentive. We enjoyed my birthday treat of Kir when we arrived. I will recommend Cote to our friends.

Tables too close together. Every time the waitress served the table to our left her derrière rested or came close to our table. Toilets paper towels left down side of sink, so every one was soaking and pointless. Tables outside restaurant on the pavement were great for attracting people with nothing to do with the restaurant but fancied a rest and much needed smoke. With no ashtrays available dog ends were thrown on the floor. Had better experiences.

Unfortunately our first batch of toast was burnt . We then had to wait quite a while for some more even though the restaurant was not busy only to find that the bread had only been toasted on one side! Again we had to wait for another batch. Rather disappointing.
