Friendly service without being rushed - a most enjoyable lunch with friends with good food in all three courses that we enjoyed - would certainly recommend to others.

A lovely evening, clearly a very busy service but we weren’t rushed and the food was delicious. The menu gave ample choice for our party of seven.

Have previously been to other Cotes restaurants, this was the worst so far for service with one meal forgotten and side order delivered cold to the table. Disappointing!!

Really pleased with the whole dining experience, as I was celebrating my birthday with my little sister. The table I requested online was spot on. Lovely bubbles and delicious food served by fabulous staff. I went there last week with work colleagues, again fabulous lunch, can’t fault the service. My favourite restaurant in Winchester!

Having been to Cote Winchester before 6-7 times I ordered my usual steak frites £2 extra from lunch menu I asked for it as rare as possible--the menu said it was served pink On arrival it was well done with no level of pink colour and the garlic butter normal in plentiful supply appeared absent --at least no garlic and little butter. The waiter was charming helpful great attitude and ordered a new one without hesitation 10/10 The next steak was rare to medium ---no complaint----but the absence of butter and garlic was noted---i did not mention to waiter but left disappointed ---please go back to how it used to be

The staff are always welcoming, the food consistently good, and the menu changes monthly but with firm favourites remaining. We’re lucky to be able to go for an early dinner so haven’t tried in peak times.

Service and food was good for the price. We sat at the back of the restaurant and it's a bit soulless - next time we'll ask for a table at the front

We booked ahead, and glad we did as the restaurant is very popular. Great service from all of the staff. Had a nice seat by the window in the bar area. Service was very prompt and the staff were very efficient and courteous. The was food delicious albeit slightly expensive (hence a score of 5 instead of 6). But we will revisit!.

We have come to expect excellent value and good service from Cote Brasserie in Winchester and we were not disappointed. Where else can you get a lunch menu with a choice of 7 starters and 7 main courses for £13.50? Another reason for choosing Cote is that they totally understand gluten free and are able to offer most of their dishes in that form.

We enjoyed the food but found the staff unprofessional. They lacked basic people skills which verged on rude. They left us waiting a long time between courses, and practically tutted when we asked if our table could be cleared. I have been here before in Winchester and found the same thing, but in Exeter they couldn't be nicer staff. Need some customer service retraining.

The Front of House service was impeccable, particularly on a busy day. But because it was a busy day, it was clear the kitchen and waiting staff couldn't keep up. We had an extraordinarily long wait for our starters; the Camembert dish looked decidedly tired, but the soup was good although over-flavoured. Then another very, very long wait for our mains: the haddock was under-flavoured; the Steak Frite was very good; the mussels were average. I regret complaining, but your restaurant is not cheap; it aspires to something better than the norm in a city where restaurants seem to occupy every other building. You really have to do better when you consider the competition you have.

Yes. Nice food. Some things off menu - due to it being Sunday. They know it will be busy so they need to think about stock. The Bernaise sauce was cold - they took off a price of glass of wine as compensation. Staff seemed quite rushed, hence they were pushed with customer contact time. Overall fair but a little disappointed. I would try it a second time perhaps at less peak periods.
