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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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! 😞

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.
