Côte Barnes

Food arrived quickly and was delicious. The Maitre d' made us feel awkward and was slow to attend to us. However, we had a fabulous waitress towards the end of the meal.

I'd booked ahead and we were greeted and seated right away. We then waited a full 15 minutes and not one waiter even acknowledged us. My husband complained to the manager and then things started to move, he took our order himself. He explained they were a staff member down, but even so to not even be given some water and a nod to say they were busy and would be right with us, this is basic stuff! After complaining it felt like everyone was then coming to check how we were. The food, as always, was good we had steak, chicken and roast pork. Cote is a huge favourite with us as a family and we eat often at the various branches. Barnes is relatively new, but I really expect much, much more from the service. I don't care if you're busy or short staffed, you take a minute to say hello to your table and let them know you're aware and will be with them soon. The manager did apologise and gave us a discount off them bill redeeming the initial bad impression.

A very attractive setting. The restaurant overlooks Barnes pond and has some outside tables. Service excellent. Food below par. Manager extremely helpful and we will go again.

Good choice of food. Great attentive service and a pleasant environment. A most enjoyable evening meal. There is a wide choice of food all freshly cooked.

They weren't too much helpfull for my birthday, they said they will prepare something for my birthday but they didn't, anyway the food was good quality

My party and I were made to feel most welcome, food was great as were the drinks!! nothing was to much for our waitress Zelda, Thanks Zelda

Nice welcome from member of staff who had previously worked at Sloane Square branch, great asset to Barnes Cote. Muscadet wine nicely chilled and good value. Calamari starter , good taste and quality. Breton chicken slightly dry ,fries crisp and hot as they should be. Great setting overlooking the pond, will definitely return.

Cote Barnes has lovely staff who give a great Service and the excellent location and value for money make it a lovely experience eating there

The only thing I didn't like was having to book via a machine. The phone machine wouldn't accept my landline number so I went online, the machine there was more accommodating but I would still have preferred a person. The meal itself was very good, as was the service, and the Brasseries was a pleasant place to be on a very hot day. There was a good and varied choice of dishes drinks and coffee.

We had a nice welcome but a real problem with one of my guest's main courses. It was greatly overcooked and a replacement was offered which took so long to come that we had finished eating by the time the dish was served again. A discount was made to my bill but that really was not the problem. After that, our plates remained on the table for a long time after we had finished - I had to ask for them to be cleared away. Nice spacious restaurant and helpful staff. May give it another try in the future.

This is a good, new branch of Côte in a fabulous location, overlooking Barnes pond. This site has been occupied by several less-than-god restaurants in recent years, and we're all delighted that Côte has arrived!

Really good food, quite expensive but nice atmosphere and great service. The only thing is the portion sizes for certain meals seemed a bit unfair and the creme brûlée was cold but very tasty.

The service was very good & so fast, the menu is extensive providing such a wide variety of choice. There was plenty of space between tables & no loud piped music!! A most enjoyable evening.

3 ladies, all had different dishes, thus 6, all superb, every plate cleanly finished, good atmosphere, this restaurant is newly opened and in a great situation

Excellent service. Good food and value for money. I I I I. I. I. I. I I I I I I I I I i

Visited Cote Barnes in August 2018. We received a warm welcome and throughout the service was excellent! My companion and I both enjoyed the calamari as a starter. For mains, she had seafood linguine and I had the pork. All of the food met the standards we expect from Cote. The seating arrangements and ambience were good. The highlight of the experience was the service: professional, relaxed, friendly and helpful.

Great food and great service. I particularly enjoyed the duck. The meal is prepared on site so don't go if you are in a hurry.

Great food and good service. We had a table overlooking the pond and everything was looking like lovely. We went with friends and would definitely return.

Very good. I found it a little noisy with sound vibrating but my companion did not. However very much enjoyed the meal. Only slight hiccup waitress forgot to bring the mustard.

Great location next to the village pond. Very friendly and efficient staff. Welcomed by the manager and shown to our table.Our reserved table ready for us on time. The menu has a fantastic choice of dishes for everyone. We have visited several Cotes in London and the high quality of delicious food is consistent throughout. Barnes is no exception to that and is a welcome addition to Barnes village.

Good food, well cooked, very attentive service. Very busy Saturday evening but food still came at a reasonable pace. Reasonably priced. Good atmosphere & family friendly. Will be going back soon.

Started off well. Lovely girl looking after us. Went down hill the busier it became.Really noisy restaurant. Positive side nice food & wine. Will think about returning. Plan a less popular time I think.

5 --- Very very nice, great food, lovely service, great value, as all Cote are, BUT, a very very [very] noisy interior, which made it difficult

Friendly service of really well cooked food off a reliable menu, sensible wine list, excellent location and even nicer to sit on the terrace - we’ll fone

New addition to the Cote family in a nice position with a light and airy room. Air conditioning effecting in the hot spell. Food up to usual standard

A good local restaurant. Staff friendly and food tasty. This Cote is a welcome addition to Barnes. They have a reasonable menu choice throughout the day.

Delicious food - I had the calamari followed by roast pork belly - great flavours. Good value for money. Well priced set menu. Friendly and efficient staff.

Good food, lovely location and ambience. Service was a little slow but the waiter acknowledged it and apologised. I will definitely return soon and would recommend this branch of Côte’s consistently good chain.

Great meal at Cote Barnes tonight. We had the fixed price menu. Service was excellent and all food was really good. Great atmosphere, highly recommended.

Lovely Sunday evening dinner. Char grilled salmon was delicious. Companion opted for the fish pie which was equally good and not over cooked. Chocolate deserts to finish. Fab.

Very pleasant location on Barnes Common, with a spacious, airy interior; low prices on set lunches; average service; but inadequate cooking, one main dish inedibly dry.

Very good food, very reasonably priced, with very good service in very nice surroundings. We are delighted that Cote has now opened in Barnes and I am sure that we shall be using it on a quite regular basis.

The cod I ordered my son came out super quick and I was dubious as to whether it was cooked properly. His food got cold very quick and the portion size differs every time I've been. I ordered the chicken and walnut salad but it should of read chicken salad as the walnuts were non existent. Also the chicken was so salty that I left half of it. The chocolate mousse dessert was excellent.

Good value Sunday supper. Rejuvenated site that was a disaster for Ask and Wildwood previously. Cotes is a good addition to the Barnes restaurant choices. Oka is new too.

Perfect for Sunday lunch. Food and service brilliant. There was a really nice mix of couples and families all having an enjoyable time. Can’t wait to return.

A bit haphazard - wrong starter and forgot to bring water. Very very noisy. Is there no sound proofing at all? Steak was fine but I’ve had better at La Plata in Sheen. Need to look at your supplier....

We had a wonderful evening at Cote Bares recently. The food was yummy and the staff friendly and helpful. It has a great atmosphere as well.

Staff were lovely - efficient and charming. Our table had the minute steak, a pepper steak and the veal escalope all cooked to perfection. We're all very pleased.

This is our fourth visit to Barnes and it is a pleasant welcome on arrival and the female manager last night was worthy of praise. However, there is room for improvement on the waiting staff. I don’t want a reply, by hope you find my comments worthwhile. AG

This is a location we know well and we are pleased it’s now a Cote. We met friends for lunch and ate off the set menu which was excellent. Service which is usually very good in Cote restaurants was not so good and we had long waits between courses.
