Excellent food and service , but why add an "optional" 12.5% service charge. I'm very happy to reward good service, but prefer to make my own choice.

The Winchester branch of Cotes has never failed to impress. Every visit, every time. Whenever I'm looking for a restaurant for my lunch meetings I always go here. Great food, great service.

Excellant food and wine, Service was below par for a 12.5% added gratuity. Had to ask twice for ketchup. Had to attract attention for second drink. Restaurant was busy and quite noisy. Other guests also had to repeat requests for service of napkins, drinks orders. Service below minimum expectations. Offset by excellent food...

We had a really wonderful experience at Cote in Winchester. Great food and very attentive staff. The location is excellent too. We have been to the Cheltenham Cote often and this is just as good.

The food was good and the service excellent. As it was a Friday night the restaurant was very busy and hence the noise level rather high making it difficult to have a conversation.

Noisy children sat next to us not being very well controlled by parents. Overwise OK although on previous experience food had been first class Fish Parmentier was not up to usual standard - guess this could have been because it was very busy Saturday previous experiences have been during week.

I normally rate this as a 6 but yesterday the service wasn't quite as sharp. It was slow and the food wasn't quite as perfect. I'm being picky but have always been extremely full of praise. But will definitely come back.

My wife and I are big fans of Cote Brasserie, having frequented both the Bath and the Cirencester sites. I'm afraid that the Winchester restaurant did not live up to our experiences in the other two. The food was OK, but not exceptional. The service was good, but difficult to judge as the restaurant was all but empty. This also affected the general ambience.

I love Cote and always have the cheap lunch menu. But for the first time ever I wasn't very keen on the menu. The food was ok but nothing special.

Our dessert choice - frozen blackberries with white melted chocolate was a very good idea but it should not include large pieces of fruit as these were frozen solid and impossible to eat. This spoilt the dessert.

Excellent meal and excellent service, the only downer was that a complimentary drink given since it was my wife's birthday was subsequently charged to the bill (plus the 12.5% service charge on it). Oops

We opted for the special lunchtime menu which is excellent value. My minute steak was cooked perfectly (I always have it well done, but it was still very tender and not at all dry). Nothing was too much trouble for the waiting staff. A lovely lunchtime treat!

Good food and good service. Restaurant was smart and ideal for a lunch meeting with clients. Will use it again. The 2 course meal for a set price menu was varied enough to suite everyone in our party of 6.

Welcome, as in all the Cote restaurants I have used, was warm and friendly Service was pleasant - food, as usual, was well cooked and well presented. Restaurant was not as busy as our usual one in Norwich, therefore the noise level was nowhere near as loud as we have grown used to. Overall an enjoyable dining experience.

I just would prefer the 12.5% tip was not added to the bill. When I asked for it to be removed, I was asked was I happy with the service, was everything OK? Yes it was. I left a cash tip of 10%!

As expected, a great lunch. It rained after our lunch so we sat in waiting out the rain. The lunch crowd had cleared and we realised it was a great place for quiet afternoon teas too!
