Côte Basingstoke

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 fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our party hadn’t met up for a while so we were chatting a lot so took a while to be ready to order pudding (everything else service wise had been prompt and easy). The staff had popped over to us after giving us a good amount of time to figure our dessert orders out and we needed another couple of minutes. We then looked at the menus properly n chose n then there was a little trouble to spot someone to place our orders n a longer wait than expected for pudding to arrive. Minimal complaint thought the guys were very attentive until then- lots of water brought over an drinks never ran out!

We were very pleased with our lunch. We could not fault anything. The food was excellent. The service was also very good. Overall this was an excellent lunch and we will return.

Lovely food for a reasonable price. Lovely and quick service with attentive staff. Quite busy but not too loud to ruin the atmosphere. Definatly visiting again soon

As always the service and the food were excellent. We both enjoy the French style food and ambiance. We will definitely visit cote brasserie again.

Both service and food was average. Attention to detail is required-the Food was luke warm and seemed like it was precooked rather than freshly cooked. I wouldn’t rush back - below par compared to Farnham branch

All staff where Very friendly good services food was excellent

Food was nice as it always is in any of the Cote chains. However, my last visit to this Cote was during the opening week service was okay then even though we did have to wait an extremely long time for pudding which was recognised by your front of house and he solved this situation. This visit to Cote the service was disappointing, I think there was not enough members of staff to serve the amount of people, this is not a problem ever experienced in your Winchester branch.

Food was amazing as always and staff were great but it took forever to receive our bill

Once again wonderful food and service. Certainly our favourite place

Food needed side dishes. Slow service. Had to wait 20 minute plus to order desserts. Didn’t appreciate gratuity being added on without being asked first. Food was expensive considering small portions.

This was our first time at Cote Basingstoke, having visited both St Martin's Lane and Covent Garden branches many times. We were not disappointed. Food, service and ambience excellent. We will return.

the onion soup was too peppery. I asked for a steak cooked medium but it was overdone. My wife got a dirty spoon and we had to ask for water twice. Very disappointed

I booked prior to going as it can get busy. The food was good with a choice of 2 set: menu s as well as a la carte. The food was lovely - I ate off the prestige set menu - French onion soup, half rchicken ( very moist with beautiful crispy skin) with chips and a pole crumble to finish. All for under £19. Excellent value. The staff were eattentive from the moment we stepped through the door until we left. Well worth another visit. My favourite restaurant when shopping in Basingstoke.

First time at the Basingstoke Cote and not disappointed. We chose from the special menu and enjoyed a complimentary glass of Kir Royale which was really appreciated

The service was inattentive and food was average. Really not any better than the initial opening days - very disappointed. We had to ask to have our order taken after waiting very patiently and trying to get attention on mains then the same for deserts. It’s like we were invisible!

Food and service were excellent, staff very friendly and knowledgeable

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.

Thank you for making the birthday special The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Meal great and we were not rushed throughout Would definitely come again

Great relaxing ambience, a varied choice of mouth-watering food and drink, attentive friendly staff and a quality product. It's definitely a place to return to- often!

Portions should be bigger for the price could Ofer Bread for free !

Lovely food couldn’t fault it especially the dark choc mousse yum and the staff were so lovely and friendly very enjoyable lunch will be back very soon

Have now been twice and my main course has been served cold. Starters and dessert good. Love the menu and choices but wish my main was warmer.

This was our second visit in as many weeks. The food choices are wide, but this does not compromise the high standards. The service was also brilliant, a caring approach and made us feel very welcome. We will be back again!

Poor slow service. Had to wait a long time to even get a drink. food was variable, chicken parfait was good, prawns were not in the same sauce as per last visit. Duck was not as expected, it was very thinly sliced with no crispy skin and was served pink even though my guest asked for it well done, I suspect that it was only a fraction on the duck breast. The monkfish was cooked ok but the bacon was almost non existent the sauce underneath was cool not hot and was watery with canned slimy mushrooms. Dessert, I requested crepe in grand marnier, this was dreadful, the crepes were cold and the alcohol was still raw inedible. I was disappointed when I saw that my dessert was still on the bill. I will not be returning.

Lovely staff lovely breakfast and overall nice atmosphere! Booked online so no waiting. Evening meals great too! A nice and different type of restaurant for Basingstoke!

Excellent service and food. Our table was a little small, but tucked away by the window which was good.

A lovely relaxed atmosphere but disappointed that for the price of the meal it did not include vegetables! Also disappointed no lemon cello a liquor to end the meal with!

It was a lovely evening the food was excellent and the staff was great very pleasant and very helpful would go again easy to get to thank you for a great evening

Delicious food, lovely ambiance. Friendly and accommodating staff. Refreshing change to have such a quality meal. Nice adult atmosphere. Would certainly come back again very soon.

Very good food and very good service. Bit too noisy but our table was on its own which was benefit. Fish pie lovely and very hot

As always, a lovely evening out with a friend. Great ambiance with great service. I love trying something different each time I visit and am yet to be disappointed.

Good food and good service.thank you to the man who served us today and thank you for taking our photos!

Rude reception from a member of staff who was really unhelpful and seemed totally uninterested in our custom. Lost 4 customers today and won’t be returning to the Basingstoke branch.

Consistent high standards that we have always come to expect from Cote. Setting perfect, staff friendly and attentive, speed of service excellent and food divine. Why go anywhere else? Thank you Cote.

We had a fantastic meal yesterday, despite the restaurant being extremely busy, the staff were efficient and attentive. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone

The staff were very nice and efficient. unfortunately, due to our table position my friends chair kept being knocked when staff were walking past behind her.

Food generally nice, but some issues: Haddock special overcooked and dry, minute steak was tough and caramelised sugar on top of tarte au citron was burnt and so very bitter. Basingstoke restaurant is very loud - need some soft furniture perhaps to soak up the sound. Time from finishing meal to being able to pay the bill was 25 minutes - so we left feeling a bit fed up.

Cote is a restaurant a more upmarket than the usual establishment in Basingstoke. We had most enjoyable visit and not rushed. Keep the standard up. We will be back.

I visited in February for dinner and March for breakfast both were great and I would highly recommend. I would advise booking in advance as it’s normally busy. I booked via the website which was quick and easy.
