Service very good and friendly and professional. Food lovely. The only thing that made it short of exceptional was my partners steak was a little dry. Also still no dairy free desserts available, even some dairy free ice cream would have been good.

The food was delicious. The service was excellent and the restaurant was really lovely. The only reason it didn't get full stars was because my husband said he went to the toilet and they were really filthy. Which is a shame.

Enjoyed a perfect ambient temperature on an extremely hot day for a delightful lunch with a friend. We were able to sit at a quiet table, where we could chat without noise. The manager and server were extremely helpful and the food arrived in a timely manner. Not rushed, no long waits. A very enjoyable lunch

Food was delicious! Great ambience, although v slightly noisy, as it was a busy lunch service and there’s not much soft furnishing to dampen sound. Staff were absolutely wonderful! Attentive and warm, both people who managed our table let us take our time so we had a lovely relaxed lunch. Highly recommend Cote and will be back. Fabulous customer service!

Had a lovely evening with my work colleagues. Very well looked after by Mihai and Lydia, thank you so much! Delicious food, loved the Breton tomatoes, and the grilled salmon. Beautifully cooked and presented and really tasty too. It was a very nice evening and the staff are really friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Food was very good but the restaurant was very noisy. We were in the top eating area and it was difficult to have a conversation without having to shout. If we go again and are offered a seat in the same location we would have to move on elsewhere.

Not as good as it used to be, a change in, management, waiting and kitchen staff maybe? Order was not accurately taken although errors were corrected quickly.

Service was good. Food was bland , chose the duck which was chewy. Puddings was described as a Pavlova but we had to hunt for the fruit and meringue, mostly cream. Meal overall was alright but didn't feel it was worth the money spent. Not impressed with the G&T.

As a regular user of several Cote brasseries, in contrast to the norm, I find the quality of service quite variable in Winchester. Sometimes it is excellent, other times it is lacking. The food on this occasion was fine, but I was quite annoyed to order a dessert for my partner and a coffee for myself only to sit without my coffee while she eat hers. After she had finished her dessert, the person who took our order was reminded that we had ordered a coffee, only to then proceed to go upstairs, coming down a few minutes later. Eventually I only got my coffee when we had to ask the man who was front of house. This is a small thing in an otherwise fine meal, but as anyone in customer relations will tell you good service is in the detail. I should have refused the 'optional' gratuity on the bill, but why should the kitchen staff lose out because of poor service in the restaurant? I gather a lot of staff are moving to Basingstoke. Hopefully this will result in an improvement, but I'm not in any hurry to return to Cote Winchester.

Normally love this restaurant. However this time we were kept waiting a long time as they were busy. Then 3 of our 4 party had pork belly, the pork was cooked, however the top was soggy, no crisp at all. We pointed this out to our waiter, he said it was probably because we put it in our gravy, which we hadn't. Disappointed on this occasion

A difficult night handled well. Our table was booked for 7.30, but it was 9.00 before we got our main course, waiting nearly 30 minutes before our order was taken and also 45 minutes between starter and main. Then the main meals were not hot. Although the food was of good standard. There were not enough staff for what was a busy Saturday night. However the head waiter was extremely apologetic, and adjusted the bill as a gesture of goodwill.

Our food was faultless but we did seem to wait a little longer than usual. It was a warm evening but the air conditioning where we ate upstairs was too cool for real comfort and as soon as we came downstairs to leave the temperature felt much more enjoyable.

Lovely that a member of staff called before to check the reservation and talk through the evening. The service prior to the visit was great! And fab food! Very accommodating for disabled access too! Only 2 minor faults: 1. The table/s chosen to seat 17 guests wasn’t ideal. We were spread across 2 booths and an additional table. 2. One guest’s dessert was forgotten and served once everyone else had finished
