Our mistake was to try and eat of the set menu available before 7.00 pm. Firstly we all arrived in good time 20 mins before the orders had to be in and then we were told they would have to check with the manager to see if it was okay, well call me old fashioned but if you offer a set menu until 7.00 then it should be available rather then having to negotiate its availability. Then they wanted us to order all our food including pudding before 7.00 pm, really what difference does a pudding order make, anyway only one of our party did this the rest of us just gave up, annoying as the meal wasn't that filling and I could have easily have enjoyed a pudding. There are so many restaurants in Winchester to choose from, so really don't need this hassle.

Not the best welcome. Had to explain it was my wife’s birthday despite advising when the table was booked. Will, however, go again as the food is a good standard.

I had duck, which was good but didn't include vegetables. I ordered fine beans and they were undercooked. the top of my crème brulee was burnt, but I did not have time to complain as we were going to the theatre and a bit rushed.

Your staff were very helpful. They showed us to Table along a back wall upstairs & when one of us asked where the toilets were we were told we could use the disabled close by. This was very useful as we are all well into our 70s & had travelled at least 50 miles from Surrey, Dorset & Berkshire to meet in up in Winchester for a reunion. Everyone enjoyed their food which was well presented & delicious.

Great location at the top of the High Street. Our first visit with friends who had never been to Cote before - surprising! They - as we - were impressed with the food and wine (Picpoul) which always provides value for money. Good atmosphere as you would expect on a busy Saturday lunchtime. One of our friends really loved the Tuna steak, something that he finds overcooked at other venues that he has been to.

Food was superb - shared the Cote de boeuf and had French onion soup. French onion soup wasn't thin and was a decent thick soup with a beautiful cheesy top, just like it should be! Cote de Boeuf was beautiful, only place had better has been in the French alps! service was friendly and funny and attentive so no complaints

Always happy to visit Cote and this was no exception. Great value for money, excellent friendly service and lovely food. Its position right in the centre of Winchester was perfect. I would have no hesitation in going again.

Poor service. We had to ask for water twice, the main courses and accompanying vegetables all arrived cold and we had to get fresh food cooked. We had already waited a long time for this course. This also wasted our time; we were here for a day out and We had to ask for sugar with the coffee twice. All in all a very disappointing experience. I regularly go to Cote restaurants in London, Bournemouth and Salisbury and this fell far short of my expectations. I will not be returning any time soon.

Cote Brasserie food is always great. We had the early evening menu deal which is an absolute bargain. Service was good too, although it took ages at the end for someone to take our payment! Will definitely be eating here again - too good value not to. Plus they have a good selection of gluten free foods.

It would be better if guests could pour their own wine. The waitresses poured inconsistently from one bottle to a table of 8 leaving some guests with too much and some at the at the end with no wine and we had to tip wine from one glass to another which was not ideal. otherwise great evening
