Côte Basingstoke

My wife's soup didn't come out with the starters. Server didn't mention the option of sauces to go with the steak. The steak lacked flavour. Management were really good.

I had booked a table for 6 and when we arrived there were only 5, we waited 45 minutes to get our first drink - 55 minutes to get our starters (of breads and olives) and as soon as we received the breads our mains were brought to the table - we sent the mains back and were questioned over what were our actual starters as we are only earning bread?! Too little staff on duty to service the customers.

We were a group of 13 ladies for a get together. We all misread the time on the prestige menu. We all thought it was available only until 7 but that applies only to Fridays. So we all chose from the prestige menu and enjoyed our meals. Service was perfectly fine, once our order was taken. The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived so we had to wait quite a while before anyone came to take our order.

Pleasant staff, good service, excellent food. Glad to have a branch of this restaurant in Basingstoke. Look forward to many more meals here - thanks very much

Lovely food, service and a great atmosphere, will go again

Delicious breakfast with fantastic service. Our party of 7 were all very impressed. Thank you.

The food was tasty but 3 of my party had mussels and felt ill afterwards. So this rather spoiled our birthday celebration.

Brilliant, genuine and friendly attentive staff. Great food. Really lovely dining out experience.

Great service. Great food. A small mistake with dessert not arriving time But rectified with taking that and coffeez off of ouf bill and free kir royals on our next visit x. Would highly recommend

Busy on a Friday night but courteous, efficient and friendly. Very good food and choice of menu. We enjoyed seeing something different from other restaurants we have visited in Basingstoke.

Very disappointing first visit to the new Cote in Basingstoke. Unimaginative food and the cold meat starter was truly dreadful - just tasted of fat. I ordered an apple tart for dessert and was given a lemon tart. We won't be rushing back.

Excellent food. Good service. A bit noisey value for money. May be next time we can choose a less lively time.we would like to try the breakfast so may be a bot quieter.

Lovely food and atmosphere staff were attentive. Not a lover of restaurants adding a service charge though

6 guests for an evening meal on a bank holiday. Starters were fine, no complaints. Waitress was attentive as was the manager when we arrived. Main course, 4 not a problem. Mine was fish and plate was stone cold as was the veg but fish was hot. I sent it back and it arrived hot and the fish was excellent. My fellow guest had a sirloin on his plate and it should have been ribeye, it went back and sure enough another steak arrived this time i5 was cooked rare but stone cold in the middle. This time it was decided not to bother. The manager did come and talk to us and did his utmost to please us and rectify a bad situation. I think he excelled and will certainly go back for that very reason. I would also recommend this restaurant to my friends too.

Came here for Valentine’s Day with my partner! Fantastic value for money. Sensational food. Waitress was brilliant as well. Would highly recommend. Something Basingstoke had really been missing

Very relaxed place and easy to book . Good food and choice. Great place to meet up with good friends for a Saturday brunch catch up.

We enjoyed it , kids have fun being there food was lovely only thing the table wasn’t set up when we arrived skew have to ask for cutlery

Excellent staff. Great service. Good food. Definitely helps to elevate Festival Place. Very, very pleased Cote Brasserie have opened in the centre of Basingstoke town centre

Great food and service but I do not agree with the pre-added 12.5% service charge. The restaurant will say you can remove it as it is optional but why should the customer be put in this position. A shame this put a dampener on an otherwise good experience. This will put me off returning.

Delcious food, lovely relaxed atmosphere and good attentive service. The complimentary gin and tonics on arrival were a very nice touch. Will definitely visit again soon.

Very enjoyable and the staff attentive. The menus have a lot of choice with tasty fresh food and French style ambience 😊

This is the second time we have eaten at Cotes and we are very happy with our meal and service was excellent. The staff are attentive and very helpful.

Fabulous food and service, we’ll be back. Thank you. Waiter brilliant fun and even sang Happy Birthday plus added a candle to our friends dessert. Lovely offers if you sign up to the newsletter

Served 3 courses in 55 minutes( obviously wanted us out for a later sitting!!) not my idea of a night out . would have gone to Mac D if I wanted fast food. Noise level very bad real turn off. Shame as decor was nice , food very good and people were lovely. needs to improve for me to return as not cheap.

Lovely menu with something for everyone, Food was beautifully cooked and tasted delicious. We had 2 starters and 2 mains from the Al a Carte which were huge. 1 set menu which was a little smaller but I still couldn’t finish the main course.Service was great - thanks Archie. Cote was recommended to me by 2 friends - definitely worth a visit. We will be going back,

As always a very enjoyable lunch. A warm welcome from happy and efficient staff. My wife and I ordered from the "Premium" set menu. Different "starters" were excellent and then both ordered the roast belly pork which is consistently delicious. A reasonably priced (for restaurants) bottle of wine made a great accompaniment to the meal. Another attraction is the ambience of the restaurant, pleasant hum of conversation with no intrusive voices. A pleasurable experience all round.

Good value for money, ambiance was lovely. Would definitely visit again.

Wine too warm initially. Maim course order screwed up. Waitress only ordered up one main course for 2 of us. Staff trying hard. Atmsphere good though.

Each visit to Cote Brasserie never seems to surprise me in a great way you know the staff and get know in a very busy restaurant that's a pleasant surprise manager Helan us with a kiss and always a few minutes to chat this we had a waitress called May the serves you just know she loves her job Just try yourself you won't be disappointed Thank you Cotes xx

Brilliant service and lovely food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Large menu with lots of choice. Food was really delicious. Good and different kids menu.

Am excellent little steak. Served very quickly by friendly and obliging staff, despite the fact that they were very busy. Convenient for pre theatre or concert meal.

Lovely meal food all came out hot and very tasty, fish pie is one of the best I’ve tasted, the crepes very nice, staff and service very good

Great food great staff and very good service A very nice eel run restaurant we wil be back again very soon looking forward to next meal all ready thanks

A nice meal after an afternoon of shopping. Perfect level of attention from the staff. No rush and relaxing. Quality of food is always good and a great variety of menu options.

Good food, but would like less meat and more veggie meals

We loved the food, service and ambiance! However, the music was too loud and lack of a bar to have a drink before and after the meal was missed!

Had a really enjoyable evening. The food was amazing and the service was spot on. I’d definitely recommend this restaurant. Thanks for a really great evening

Great atmosphere, good food and value for money. Service was spot on.

A lovely meal with great service and a really interesting menu. Will be back

I visited Côte for the first time with friends over the Easter weekend. It was difficult to choose from the menu as there are plenty of delicious dishes to choose from. When the food arrived we weren’t disappointed. Just delicious and well worth the money. The service was good overall and my only complaint would be that we had to prompt for the desert menu and bill. I will definitely be back as cannot wait to try some of the other dishes on the menu and introduce to other friends and family.

So glad to have discovered Cote as just what Festival Place needed. Friendly helpful service from the minute I arrived and a real 'buzz' about the place as it was almost full on a Thursday night and a lovely atmosphere with dim lighting hallelujah! Delicious moules and steak frites and the service was slick without being too overly attentive so a lovely evening had by all.

Fab service Great breakfast & Good value ! Always a good eating out experience at Cote no matter what time of day ! Very enjoyable.

Really lovely lunch. Fresh tasting food. Good service. Perfect lunch

Unfortunately on this occasion, we, that is all 3 guests. were all very dissapointed with your Basingstoke team. I booked within plenty of time to ensure our placement in the restaurant. We ended up next to the door, next to the Bar/Coffee preparation area, in turn next to the staff social area. Your team should be aware, direct bookings should be given priority, we did not casually wander in, We made the effort, so should you.................. Also, Your team placed dessert/coffee menu's on our table. then never returned. We did not stay.

I have booked a table for 2 at 2pm on Easter Monday and we arrived just before. The restaurant was quite buys, but we were still offered a choice of tables. We were very happy with the overall experience; the service from all the staff was very good (but especially David). We had a voucher for two complimentary kir royale, which started us off well. We enjoyed the food - my wife's main course was haddock with pea puree and she said the puree was quite sweet. I had the veal T-bone and it was very tasty, but perhaps a little under seasoned.

Great setting and food experience with attentive service from some lovely staff. I really enjoyed my steak and loved the lemon sorbet which was as nice as the waitress said 😊

The service was appalling the waitress stretched across the table causing us to lean into each other. The waitress was rude and quite abrupt. She was hurrying us through the courses. The acoustics were shocking. It was so loud in the restaurant. We were a round table of four an we couldn't hear each other.

Food was good. Service was ok but got the distinct impression that we weren't working to the staff's timeframes. Also the staff were strangely disengaged; no eye contact or smiles and they kept cutting across our conversation to ask us things. I know it's difficult not to do that to some extent but there was no hesitation, just straight in with what they needed to say or do. Also, please (please!) consider bucking the trend for hard lines without any soft furnishings to buffer the noise. Very difficult in most restaurants to have a conversation and your restaurant is the same. It will put me off going to you again, particularly at busy times.

Lovely meal as always, food is delicious had steak and it’s always cooked to how I like it. Service is very good.

This was my second visit to Côte Basingstoke and it was as good as the first Excellent food, service and atmosphere definitely be going back.
