We loved the food and the atmosphere. A kitchen problem was well covered with extra bread and olives. Service polite and friendly and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Lovely meal and fab service at the Winchester Cote today, we will certainly come back again next time we visit!
Currently my favourite restaurant. Love Sunday morning breakfast in Winchester.
We arrived 30 mins early in the hope we could have our table and we could! We were so pleased. The waiter was very attentive and brought the menus to us immediately while getting our drinks. The food we selected, from the Christmas menu was superb. I had Duck Confit a l'Orange, my partner had the haddock, with starters and desserts, the whole evening was excellent value, but also to be highly recommended. We will definitely visit again when we are in Winchester.
Excellent food and excellent service. Table for two away from the Christmas parties was appreciated.
Another excellent lunch on a very busy Saturday - good food, wine and excellent service.
Lovely ambience, wonderful authentic French food, good service & value for money
Service, choice and quality of food were good. A very busy lunchtime but food cane to the table in a timely manner. A bustling atmosphere without being frantic
Great food, great staff, lovely family evening at the beginning of the Christmas festivities.
Great food and great atmosphere- Romania gentleman that served us was excellent... thank you very much for looking after us. Sorry we didn’t get your name
Nice lunch with a glass of bubbly, Cote is always reliable. A bit chilly in the ladies though!
easy to book and always know the food will be good
the food was great but the restaurant was freezing cold, such a shame
Booked a table, as requested, allocated a place by a window. Good service, unhurried, appropriate time between courses. I use this restaurant quite frequently for a decent meal at a reasonable price.
Really lovely evening, delicious food, great service. Would go again.
Unfortunately,the food was very poor. The langostine starter was overcooked, my steak was not cooked to my likening, even after sending the first one back. My friends haddock parmentier, the saucewas so runny, it was inedible. The worst Cote i have ever been in.
Lovely food and nice atmosphere. Also very attentive staff who even phoned to let me know my friend had dropped her phoned by our table when we left. Great service !
Cote never fails to provide good food at a reasonable price with good service
Food and service very good. Enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend to others.
Service slow to start with but only server for all tables. After advising we were going to the Panto Katie could not have been more helpful and sped up the food order and service. Katie knowledgeable about allergies and advised the kitchen if what my sister could and could not eat (gluten and dairy allergies). Thank you ! Food good and tasty thank you Tea very poor - a big tea pot requires two tea bags not one! Also when it is refilled it needs new teabags not the old one which resulted in a second cup of grey water not tea!
Exceptional service and delicious food, as always. Our favourite place to go in Winchester
The manager was amazing and sorted our concerns! Will definitely return.
OK... not bad - but OK... We love Cote Brasserie and have been to several across the country, many times. This one was - OK...
Excellent customer service.The waiter in particular. Lovely ambience. Good food.
Slow service, forgot to bring our hot drinks, food not as good a usual and incorrect bill at the end. Shame as we usually enjoy Côte.
After many visits to Cote Restaurants, particularly in Salisbury, we were extremely disappointed with the level of service that we had in Winchester Cote. 12.5% service charge was not earned even slightly. We had to ask for our starter plates to be cleared away and the overall wait for the main course - 50 mins- made us late for the theatre. The food was excellent but eating it in less than 5 minutes was less than enjoyable. The restaurant was neither full nor busy and there appeared to be more than sufficient staff on duty. Disapponting.
As always a fantastic experience, great staff and wonderful food....thank you
Everything took a bit too long and when my food came it wasn’t piping hot!
Thoroughly good experience, excellent meal in pleasant surroundings. We were looked after by Hannah who was delightful and efficient.
The table was cramped (3 in a small space) I ordered roasted sea bass, it was under cooked and cold, the sauce was less than a tea spoon (£15) The roasted vegetables were also cold and soggy. It was the waitresses first day, we were very accommodating and friendly, but we felt rushed and food was taken away before we had finished.
Excellent service and food! Always love Winchester Cote! Lovely time!
Overall not the best experience that we could have had. We overheard the waitresses discussing how hungover they were, there was a mix up with the order which meant one person didn’t get their meal for 10 minutes after everyone else and the poached eggs were cold inside.
Very disappointed, waited 30 mins for our meal, had to ask what was the problem only to be told an oven had broken down. Problems do happen but it would be better to communicate with customers instead of leaving them sitting.
A regular, annual meeting with friends. Cote always delivers. Food and service excellent. Very reliable.
Lovely meal and good fast service. Just a bit noisy at times, by staff clattering bottles and cupboard doors.....maybe just where my friend and I were seated upstairs.
Friendly greeting on arrival. Food and wine good. Service slightly impersonal. Lacked atmosphere.
Fantastic meal & service, the restaurant was busy because of the Christmas markets but we were still well looked after & had the best food!
A lovely lunch for a special celebration! Cassoulet was particularly good - shame its not available more often. A really pleasent dining experience - so much better than your Basingstoke branch!!!
Excellant service during a busy period-well done. Quality and politeness also excellant
Nice place, no loo rolls ( told waitress) and that was very early in the evening! Food wasn’t piping hot but perhaps that’s just us. Service was fine but not particularly friendly but courteous. Very busy which may have been why They ordered us a taxi which was great
Lovely restaurant and good , but struggled to hear each other at the table as it was very loud .
Great service and food. Shall return in the near future.
Excellent food, good service, friendly staff. Set menu good value
Fantastic food alongside a warm, welcoming and attentive service. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, I would definitely recommend the prestige set menu; reasonably priced and absolutely delicious!
Always a good menu, excellent food and service and good ambience.
The food was great but unfortunately the service was quite slow.
Delicious food, and good service not rushed and asked to move to another table as didn’t want to be by the door and they obliged straight away and we moved tables.
Cheerful, patient waiter looked after us very well . meals served together and hot . Dishes declared delicious . No grumbles at all !
Very good consistant food every time we visit a Cote
Efficient service and staff. Good food and ambiance really enjoyed our meal
