Such really wonderful service and smiling waiters good food as ever and a most enjoyable evening The only downside I think the fries that come with the lobster are smaller than the fries are used to come !!!!
Perfect! Great food, excellent service. So happy to be back in our favourite local restaurant xxx
Great to see Cote is open and as usual we had a great experience!
It was actually the first time my family went out for a restaurant dinner since the Lockdown. Great experience and Food! Also nice to see that all employees were wearing face shields and that there were several hand sanitizers. Thank you very much!
Overall, a very good experience. Good food, a buzzy atmosphere and reasonable value.
The staff are wonderful food good too. Had a great time
Great team great food great service Glad you are back.
Soooo happy you are back!! We have missed you guys and your excellent food!
Overall very good - nice to be back and see staff trying to get back to 'normal'
Cote in Barnes is my favourite place. Nice atmosphere and extremely professional and friendly staff. The atmosphere like at home :-))))
Nice selection on the menu, although it would be nice to have the carrots back on the menu. Very friendly staff and great customer service.
All good other than the tables are old And feel sticky as the lacquer is coming off A sticky table in a Covid world is not acceptable- through them out !
Lovely to be back. This is such a beautiful building and looking out over the pond is the perfect setting.
Great to have Cote open again in Barnes - welcome back!
Always great food and caters for children so well whilst still keeping adults happy without resorting to the usual tomato pasta etc, would be great to have even more adult style dishes available for kids - so glad you are back open again!!
The staff are always friendly and helpful, the food is always first rate. Love that Cote is open again!
So happy that you are back.!!!!!!!L!We loved our delicious dinner last night,and the amazing service and friendly staff.
Delicious food and great service 🤩! Thank you so much!
Welcome back! The Eat Out to Help Out made it even nicer. It is difficult to hear the staff behind their masks.
We were warmly welcomed by a very efficient manager. She responded to my email request to be seated in the pond end of the restaurant and even though we had to wait for our table she was very engaging throughout. All the staff were highly diligent in their various roles. The food was amazing. Our party of 6 couldn’t fault our experience. We will certainly return. Thank you Cote Barnes.
It was great to return to Côte Barnes and see the usual staff back at work under the direction of Lucy. Once again the food was excellent as was the service. Great to hear that you’re continuing Côte at Home, which we have used during lockdown and will continue to do so.
Very Poor experience overall , started badly as we didn’t get the table we clearly requested when we booked via email ( we asked for a table on the side of the restaurant , by the pond ) we clearly made the request but it was totally ignored , when I pointed it out we were told that it wasn’t possible however there were free tables on that side as we came in and talked to the manager , I even pointed out at the free table but no , we were seated elsewhere The lady in charge told us that we could move soon once some other tables by the side cleared , however that didn’t happen , again I did see empty tables there but nobody offered us to move again . To follow we were ignored by the front of house and a table of two that came after us got to order , and eat , before we did ! The food was completely bland , I had a burger which was simply not good enough , and my wife the lobster which at nearly £30 was nowhere near as good as you would expect I appreciate the fact that it was busy but the service and Especially the welcome we got wasn’t good enough Last , I ordered a glass of house rose but was charged for the more expensive one , I did point it out when the bill came but the lady made me feel like it was my mistake , when clearly Wasn’t as I actually pointed out with my finger on the wine menu the one I wanted to the server , it was only a £2 difference but that’s not the point as I should have been charged for the one I ordered , the lady offered i refund , after I paid , which was slightly embarrassing in front of my family Overall not good at all
As usual Cote Barnes provided an excellent brunch. Staff all very attentive and professional. Food excellent and service excellent. The restaurant was very busy in the first week of reopening post COVID 19 lockdown hence not 6 stars overall as there were probably a few too many customers than we would have preferred given the current situation. Otherwise a perfect lunch.
A most enjoyable lunch with great service and food and drinks
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Côte Barnes on its opening day, and were pleased to see how busy it was. The tables were sensibly spaced and the staff welcoming despite their face shields, so we felt quite relaxed. The food was delicious (seabream and pork belly for mains, chocolate mousse and crême caramel to follow). And when I left the restaurant without my bag, someone rushed into the street after us to return it, so thank you especially to the waiter concerned !
Genuinely delighted to have Côte reopen here in Barnes. The staff couldn’t do enough for us and the food was spot on. We will see you soon.
Good service and food of the usual reliable quality that you'd expect of Cote.
We always enjoy going to Cote as apart from being good value the food is delicious and the service attentive and helpful Thank you so much
Consistently good food, excellent service, great value! We always go to a Cote for breakfast, the coffee is so good, and the standard of food and service is always excellent in every branch we have been to.
Very good meal, excellent friendly service and we loved our complimentary rhubarb martini 🍸. Thank you.
Mother’s Day brunch was awesome! It was our first time at the Barnes Village branch and we really enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere there! Thank you very much, J.
The service was excellent - and so was the food. It was a little slow in arriving - but otherwise it was a lovely meal. I will be returning to the Barnes Cote very soon.
The perfect night out! Great food, charming staff. Delicious food which was very reasonably priced! This cote is also beautifully located near the pond at Barnes.
Really lovely manageress. Such a warm welcome and given a lovely table. The waiter was super attentive, very professional and made the evening go well. Can't fault the service at all. Two things; the portion size of the (delicious)fries is simply too small for the price and even though it's a steak restaurant there should be vegan options. A vegan menu would be a 'catch all' instead of the vegetarian one. After 20 years in Barnes this is the 4th restaurant on this site and by far the very best!
The food was delicious as always and we enjoyed the complimentary gin and tonics. The seating arrangements in the Barnes restaurant are problematic, especially with a baby. We were seated on a table in the middle of the restaurant and had to keep moving the pram to let people past. The tables are too close together so people were constantly bumping in to our chairs. I think that if customers have a pram they should be seated in a corner area to prevent this from happening.
Excellent brunch. Very friendly staff. Lovely to sit outside by pond.
Standard of food and service is always very high. Very much enjoyed the free champagne celebrating 1st anniversay at Barnes.
Delicious food and great service.Lovely view over Barnes Green. Highly recommend for a well priced enjoyable meal. Will definitely return again for another visit. Thank you
We had a very lovely meal last night at Cote. We shared the crab and avocado mayonnaise to start, than my brother had fish goujons and I had pork belly with dauphinoise potatoes and peas. The food was lovely and very well cooked and we had the cote gin and tonic to accompany our food. The reason for the 5 stars was because it was quite hard to hear what my brother was saying despite sitting opposite each other. It also got very hot in the restaurant despite sitting near the door.
Staff welcoming and very helpful. Great service, nothing too much trouble.
Service was fantastic. The restaurant is lovely. One of our dishes was a bit over cooked it your lovely staff saw that it wasn’t billed - we had a fabulous evening despite one dish. My steak tartare was superb!!
Very attentive staff and delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere. We enjoyed our meal at Côte yesterday
Another lovely meal and service. We brought friends with us this time and they too commented on the evening. Thank you Lucy and team!
Brilliant staff, very attentive and friendly! Food was amazing as always, we love that our local town has a Côte. Thank you for a great experience, can’t wait to come back!
Delicious meal tonight and all the staff in Barnes are always super friendly.
Love Côte Barnes. Great staff, great food and service. Perfect for lazy Sunday
Great service and food, however the acoustics meant that in a busy restaurant the noise levels meant it is not a place to go for an intimate meal.
Great service an great food will definitely be back. Have been t Cote in Marylebone and it was not any where near as good as Barnes
Coped splendidly with a table of six discerning septuagenarians - all of whom enjoyed a selection of dishes from across the menu. Good value to boot!
Great food, great value and lovely service. Always reliable, a real family favourite for us.
