Côte Basingstoke

It's good to have you open again. Glad I booked

Lovely food, excellent service and reasonably priced. Elliot was an excellent waiter - nothing was too much trouble and he was there when we needed him but not when we didn't.

Lovely as it always is staff were very attentive and friendly Good to go back

Excellent meal, my steak was lovely and my friend really enjoyed her tuna, with a very helpful waitress. Very relaxed atmosphere and had no concerns. Will definitely return

Delighted to have you back. Congratulations on a successful first day!

We love this restaurant, it's our absolute favourite place to eat and we've been waiting for it to re-open so we could return! We weren't disappointed, it was just as good as ever with excellent social distancing measures in place to protect staff and customers. Top notch food, spot on service and a great atmosphere - what more could you ask for?! Thank you Cote :-)

As always, a delicious meal courteously and efficiently served. One would hardly have known there was a virus scare - everything was exactly as usual except for the waitress' visor. We would have liked to tip a little more, but our waitress said it was not possible. Please convey our appreciation as a poor substitute.

Fabulous! It was their first day re-opening after the COVID-19 lockdown, and all the safety measures were in place. Staff were so lovely and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning.

Thank you for a great meal, excellent service & lovely atmosphere. We really enjoyed our meal and look forward to our next visit, which will be very soon.

Fantastic food and very attentive staff, would recommend a visti!!

Super food, super service and the environment was so covid safe I was really impressed. Great work for your first day open after lock down.

Good food and service. It was a little noisy and you have to talk very loud for your neighbour to hear you.

Food was excellent as usual - Service was also exceptional Salvatore is an amazing person and he makes you feel like at home - He always exceeds all expectations as an employee I would see him as a Manager without any doubt .

We generally enjoy eating at Cote. Probably the best restaurant in Basingstoke town centre. However on this occasion the chicken we ordered was overcooked, tough and very dry.

Lovely birthday lunch, great service, accommodated my 20 month old very well. Lovely food, nicely timed.

Food was very good though a bit expensive. Quite loud too as could not always hear what others in party were saying. Nice for special night out only.

Our first visit to Cote Brasserie and we will definitely be back. Our table was ready on time, the food was served quickly and was absolutely delicious and all the staff were very pleasant and courteous. The only slight negative was that is was quite noisy so it was hard to hear when talking to each other over dinner. Overall it was a lovely experience and is now our favourite restaurant in Basingstoke.

It was our first experience dining at Cotes, and likely to be our last. The service was appalling and the atmosphere was very protencious. We had a screaming baby next to us (at 8.30 pm). We ordered jin and tonics which arrived in water glasses, along with sourdough bread which we had to ask for side plates at which the waiter appeared extremely annoyed. The food arrived very fast (fish pie), which was great however it then seemed it was a ready made microwave meal which has just been heated up. Over priced for quality and overall experience, very disappointing to top it off our waiter had a very poor attitude and made us feel uncomfortable and a anxious due to his negative manner towards us.

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,

Lovely food. Great service. Wonderful start to the bank holiday.

Lovely welcome, friendly staff. Met at our seats with glasses of Prosecco and child friendly version for my son to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Delicious food on every course. Dessert came with a candle in for his birthday too! Brilliant lunch and we will be back soon!

Me and my friends thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I was celebrating my birthday so the server said she would give us 4 glasses of complimemtary kir royale. Me and my boyfriend said we dont drink but she bought 4 glasses anyway. In the end i paid the bill without looking at the items on the receipt only to find out they had charged us £ 19.50 for those kir royale. 5 stars for the server but 2 stars for overall experience cause the mess up cost me extra £19.50

Good service, friendly staff and the food was excellent. We were celebrating my husband's 70 birthday prior to going to the Anvil Theatre. An enjoyable evening.

Very nice breakfast/brunch with usual high standard of food and service. The only slight negatives were we asked for marmalade but received apricot jam and my wife’s tea was served in a half full, lukewarm pot. Anyway we enjoyed our meal

The service was very slow. The waiter on our section kept ignoring us, as in once he realised he had forgotten about us he was embarrassed to come and say hello or apologise. The manager eventually came to help and was lovely. Food on the other hand was amazing. You must inject your chicken with water, it was melt in the mouth tender! we almost thought uncooked but it was lovely!!

Food and service were excellent, staff very friendly and knowledgeable

Food was great, service was good overall and prompt without being rushed. My only comment on service is that waiters should not try to start clearing plates until everyone has finished (basic etiquette). Having said that our waiter was very apologetic and responsive when I asked him to wait. Also, standard bug-bear with all restaurants at the moment; no soft furnishings makes it very difficult to speak to more than one person at a time as it's too noisy. Go on! Buck the trend and do something about that! thanks Carol

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.

Thank you for making our 20th Wedding anniversary so special. You have a great commitment to creating an amazing customer experience - its the little details which matter the most!

Very good experience. We took our Daughter for Birthday lunch and we were well looked after by Salvatore. Good welcome and service without going over the top. Will definitely go back just a little disappointed with Cote policy of adding tip to bill. I like to decide how much to tip and would probably left more today!

Great service, fab with children. staff seemed to have improved since last time I was there. Did not feel rushed Easy to book online... also booking online we got a free cocktail. Did need to ask for it but they didn't hesitate to get it. would go 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

Excellent food and service up to the point of getting the bill. We were charged for a bottle of wine that was supposed to be free and had to wait more than half an hour to pay.

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.

Booked a table for 7.15 arrived early but was promptly seated. We had the drinks as part of the June offer. I thoroughly enjoyed mine. The food was fab. we had the roasted Pork Belly and Duck breast we added the mushroom sauce to our pork order ( try it) it is scrumptious.

Really enjoyed the food. First time at a Cote restaurant and I can say I was pleasantly surprised with every course. Will have to come back soon.

A bit noisy today but food and service as good as always!

Great meal, but on a table for 2 right by the door, would have been nicer for the tables for 2 to feel a bit more secluded when coming out for a romantic dinner.

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

Delicious breakfast, in a really nice setting and not expensive at all. Great choice on the menu - Smoked salmon and scrambled egg on toast is particularly good.

The food was excellent and the choice was very good especially as one was gluten-free and one was vegetarian. Only issue was that the person who showed us to our table didn't seem to know that there was a separate vegetarian menu and my wife had to go looking for one. Apart from that the service was very good albeit a little slow.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. Food was nice but far too expensive for the size of the portions. Staff were lovely although verynpushy about ordering oir meal. We were there for thr evening snf wanted tobtake our time.

Service ran very smoothy for mothers day. Food was fab, staff need more etiquette training(don't lean across to serve people! Should aways serve Ladies first as well) Phoebe made our visit, she served our desserts, had a lovely disposition and was professional at service.

Lovely food, attentive staff and good atmosphere. Food was fantastic.

I have visited Cote several times, usually my breakfast is excellent - however today it was presented cold, this was probably down to the plates not being hot when the food was placed on them. This tarnished my experience today unfortunately. Regards Peter

Incredibly disappointing - this is our second visit and both times were poor. Tonight my dinner was cold and had to be sent back. Service was poor - staff were busy chatting at the bar, whilst customers, including us, were waiting to be served. Tables weren't cleared and the floor was left dirty. My dinner was not deducted from the bill even though my companion and I both ate separately. When we asked for the service charge to be removed even that didn't trigger a response from the management team. It was only when I asked to see the manger, who had gone home at 10.15, that something happened. They did try to make it up to us, but am left feeling I am not sure I want to go back.

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 surroundings, fantastic food and great friendly service. Highly recommend
