Great food, great evening, and great service. However there were a lot of groups in one space making the environment very loud and sometimes hard to hear each other speak.
Food was good.Toast overdone.Ther service was very slow in an empty restaurant with lots of staff.The Staff were friendly.Atmosphere was ok but very quiet for a Saturday.
Really lovely food, along with great service made this a really enjoyable visit, would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again in the near future.
We all very much enjoyed our first visit. The food was excellent and the service impeccable. Will definitely come again.
Another great meal at Cotes. There early evening menu is excellent value. The staff are incredibly professional and the food is always delicious. I can recommend the whitebait.
We visited on Saturday 16th March having made a reservation. It was our first night out as couple after having our daughter and I must say it was fantastic. We were immediately greeted with a smile and nothing was too much throughout our time spent in the restaurant. The food was first class and service was intuitative without feeling rushed between courses even to the point that our waiter knew I needed another bowl for my spent mussels shells before I had even asked. A genuinely lovely meal and we will be returning as soon as we can arrange another babysitter!. Credit where it is due, thank you Côte Winchester, see you soon 10/10
Overall we enjoyed the evening and good gluten free options
Excellent hot breakfast for 4 of us. The coffee at Côte is really good and I am fussy about this. Sausages really tasty and scrambled eggs perfect.
Efficient service, friendly staff, and good food. Wine selection also good. Ideal for pre-Cinema. A good addition to the high streeet in Winchester. Keep it up!
Met a colleague at the Winchester restaurant for a working breakfast, great city centre location, choice of food, service and ambience, Coffee was excellent too, a lovely way to start the day, I will definitely go back.
Great food and friendly staff. It would be helpful if staff could check with the kitchen and let people know at the start which items are unavailable on the menu. We chose 2 unavailable dishes!! However there was plenty of choice, so we easily found an alternative. We will definitely return.
We were shown to a great window seat. Calamari was excellent, steaks were very good. My pork belly was amazing. Service was great. A lovely afternoon spent in a lovely restaurant. Well done 😊
As always, the food and service was outstanding. Our booking ‘special request’ had been noted and we were welcomed warmly. Never a disappointment! Thanks!
Excellent food very helpful and polite staff ,made our 45 wedding anniversary very special , thank guys .
The staff were quite devoid of any personality and not engaging, we ordered a bottle of wine and when brought to the table the waitress asked if this is what we had ordered?! We then had to look through the menu to double check it was, whilst still eating we were asked if we had finished, we said no and was then told we had a couple more minutes and she’d return to collect our plates! After visiting cote numerous times before and enjoying it this visit was disappointing and bizarre!
We had an enjoyable meal in a pleasant atmosphere in this beautiful City. We were greeted by the delightful blond lady manager (sorry don’t recall her name) and served by very friendly and efficient waiting staff particularly a lovely smiley auburn haired lady with a pony tail (again sorry no name)
Fantastic family meal, highly recommend Cote Winchester. We all ordered something different and we could not fault the service or very yummy food. It was just a shame the disabled toilet was out of action and not everybody can manage all the stairs. I hope you can get it fixed soon.
A very enjoyable evening with good food and good company.
As always Cote was very very good. Food, atmosphere, service and noise level. Everything is done to the book, seated, given menus and asked what you want to drink while you read the menu.
Such friendly staff and amazing food. Nice atmosphere and plenty of choice on the menu and wine list.
Delicious food and delicious wine. Waiter very attentive and appropriately chatty. Requested a window table, an this was obliged. Overall, a very good experience in the centre of Winchester
I chose a starter and a main from the à la carte menu and I was extremely happy with what I received. The service was very good and the food was fresh and cooked with well. I would happily go back and explore more of their menu.
Really love this restaurant - and the veal escalope, but that’s only in the winter really - our meal was perfect and service was great and almost invisible as good service should be
Service superb, food excellent, choices great. Only complaint, why pay the staff so low that you have to add a 12.50% gratuity to inflate their earnings instead of paying them a bit more? Whilst many wouldn't, I would have paid a tad more on the food to cover the tips, for instance our bill of £130+ included the 12.50% tip option. I would have paid the same amount happily knowing the staff were getting a reasonable wage!
Very enjoyable meal. Nice menu with plenty of options. The bretan fish sea food broth was delicious. service was quick and attentative. I would definitely recommend.
Very nice experience, enjoyed that not rushed and food was brilliant but could have eaten more.
Friendly service and delicious food. We slwats enjoy our time at Cote.
I am a regular at this restaurant and it never disappoints I’d recommend it to anybody. Thank you again to the whole team for a memorable lunch
Having been in Winchester for about 50 years, I can honestly say that Cote is the best restaurant to hit Winchester for a long time. Above all the staff are like a very happy family, very attentive in every way and creating an extremely happy atmosphere, on top of which the food is excellent and well presented. My wife and I love going there for all the good reasons and knowing that we will enjoy the visit and be sure of a great welcome and, as I am disabled, they do all they can to help me.
Fabulous food and excellent service. We will definitely be returning.
The food and atmosphere at Cote is wonderful as are the staff. The only criticism is that it can get a bit noisy in the upstairs when busy as the noise seems to reverberate around the room. It won't stop us going there and is only noticeable when there are only two of us.
Great birthday meal in an atmospheric setting with good service. The team there looked after us very well and did not rush us. The only issue was that the Moules were a bit scrawny.
It was good. The staff were great. I didn't feel the restaurant held much atmosphere. The food was better than average, although not exceptional by any stretch.
Dined at 5pm when restaurant was not overly busy but with a steady flow of customers. Great service not feeling overly rushed. Good choices ,something for everyone. I chose a chicken dish with beautiful mushroom sauce and delicious dauphinois potato. Followed by an ice cream dessert with beautiful dark chocolate sauce and posh wafers. Lovely early evening meal with friends.
Buzzy atmosphere in the Winchester branch on a Friday evening. Food of excellent standard and reasonable prices. Good service. Looking forward to returning!
Always fabulous, personal service matched with delightful food and lovely atmosphere, highly recommended
Wonderful eating experience in lovely surroundings and excellent service more than happy to return
Excellent food and very good value breakfast menu. Lovely staff and prompt service!
Nice meal and good service. Pity the cod goujons are not still on the menu. Please can you get a handrail on those steps my father in law stumbled and was saved by a tourist! I was there of course but couldn’t take his weight. He’s 94 and loves your restaurant!
It was a pleasant evening but felt a bit rushed at first to order our meal. It became noisy when a couple sat next to us as we were finishing we’re quite noisy and drunk, spoilt the evening a bit
Great menu. Warm welcome and good service from staff and enjoyable evening. Would return
Really disappointed that the chateaubriand special was not available. We had an early evening table at 6pm and had already decided that we were going to chose this for our main course as had been sent a link through the newsletter. As we sat down and given the menus, there was no mention that this was not available. So when we ordered we were then told it was not available. We were told that they did not think it would be popular so not enough was ordered! Very disappointed Cote! 😞
Our quiet family get-together prior to an upcoming funeral was made special by the attentive service, good food and pleasant atmosphere. This is not the first time we have visited this restaurant, and it has aways been very good.
Delicious, generous food from set menu which is great value. Lovely to have the choice between 2 set menus at different prices. Difficult to beat for a 3 course lunch in Winchester. Thank you.
Felt like we were in the middle of a runway with the position of our table, then later found out we had been charged for bubbles we didn’t even order..... umm not really very happy about that you need to make it clear that you will be charged when giving the bubbles to customers! But on the flip side the food and service was excellent.
Fab lunch Excellent friendly service. Love Côte will be returning soon. Great prices too. Lots of atmosphere nice and buzzy. Great value wine and good choice. Overall a good time had by myself and my company
We were a party of 10 + baby. The staff were very polite and helpful. This was first visit and will be back.
Always good food always good service. 100% Never had a bad experience at any of the Cote restaurants I've eaten in.
We had excellent service and food - a really enjoyable evening! Thanks to Michael for hosting us so admirably
We ate from the early evening set menu which gave plenty of choice. The service was friendly and food good.
