Love this chain of restaurants, in each I've eaten in, always had high standards and great service and the food is always so tasty !. Unfortunately this evening there were a couple of things off the menu, one of which I'd ordered - had to change my choice, these things happen, but still enjoyed my meal. Timings are perfect for a very enjoyable evening out.

The food and service was great. The only disappointment is adding the optional 12.5% staff tip to the bill. This should be left the customers discretion! Thank you and we will return.

Superb meal from start to end. Greeted at the door by the manager, shown to a lovely table. Great friendly staff, very good (without being invasive) service. Food very good - French onion soup excellent, haddock special for Good Friday was superb. Frites were a few minutes late and the manager removed them from the bill without use asking, very good service. Would return without hesitation.

First visit to the Bournemouth Cote. Excellent location but the ambience slightly lacking - seated in the bar area by the entrance. However, great food and good service. The crab mayonnaise is always a delight - my partner said the French Onion soup was good but would have liked a soup and not a huge (almost table!) spoon. Duck was perfect and the right shade of pink, but the steak was a little tough. Minted peas were cold, but were removed from the bill. Overall a great meal and will definitely return. Kir Royale delicious...!

Generally good atmosphere, service and starters. Two of our diners enjoyed their main courses but unfortunately the mussels were over cooked and rubbery and the poussin special was bland in taste. We also ordered a rose but it wasn’t chilled enough and when we asked for a colder one we were told they were from the fridge so they would all be at that temperature so we went for a red instead. It’s a shame because I think this bournemouth branch is especially atmospheric but this time it wasn’t up to scratch.

Very attentive service, going to small details without being too posh boring kind of thing enough for people to realise that is the right place for a good dinner. This is the the 8th time that we had a meal and lunch or dinner was always perfect not boring not intrusive not "small minded" Keep up the good work

THE MANAGEMENT WAS AWFUL! did not try and accommodate us even thought I was pregnant. I asked if we were able to move to another table due to the booth being cramped for 6 people. The manager said Was not able to to do this cause they were fully booked, but the said table remained free until we left. I wonder if this manger would have done the same to a white Caucasian woman? Ruined our brunch.

A table upstairs by the window - a friendly and attentive waiter and great food. We chose the two course early dinner and what value! I especially enjoyed the baked chicken with fennel in a provencal dressing. Delicious. Sadly no room for the creme caramel.

We had a weekend in Bournemouth and decided to end it at Cote on Sunday evening. This is a really nice restaurant. Tables are NOT crammed in and its light & spacious. The staff are really attentive & the food was tasty & well presented. We had a lovely evening to end our weekend away.

We had a very efficient (if not rather aggressive!) waitress serving us this evening. Her manner made us feel like we were dining in a communist restaurant where we WOULD be grateful, whether we liked it or not. I had a Calimari - which was tasty, but the raw garlic in the homemade sauce to accompany it means that I’ll be warding off vampires for the next 20yrs... I won’t be ordering that again! My husband ordered the Crottin. Urgh, it tasted of mix of vomit and smelly, sweaty feet. He left most of it. We daren’t inform our waitress for fear of being led outside onto the pavement and thrashed in front of the other diners as punishment. We love Cote and regularly visit, but this experience left us feeling a bit cold and £60 lighter.

Lovely restaurant with friendly helpful staff. The booking was made for 6 couples, which included 3 birthday girls. We were given a complimentary drink, which was a great welcome. Our one complaint was that one of the birthday girls had goats cheese with roast vegetables - this was not eaten as it was not your usual standard, vegetables were too large and not cooked properly and the goats cheese was not enjoyable. I did mention to one of the waiters that we were not happy with that particular meal. Other 5 meals were delicious and up to your normal standard.

Last minute decision so lucky to get a table....we saw people being turned away. My partner chose two of the specials for May and was very pleased with the scallops to start and lamb chops to follow (not sure about the Roquefort butter with the chops) and I had calamari to start followed by baked salmon on ratatouille - absolutely delicious. A bottle of wine, great service from the maitre D and a lovely Brazilian waitress. Perfect.

A thoroughly enjoyable experiece. The staff from geeting to bill payment were well trained and attentive. Food, and wine selection were excellent. We had the set menu, which was really good value with more than generous portion sizes. I couldn't finish mine and was asked twice, with genuine concern, if everything was OK. We happily paid the inclusive service charge (which we checked actually goes to the staff) and a little extra. Would recommend without hesitation and visit again

I can go to any pub chain and spend a tenner and enjoy instant free wifi , I visit branches in Bristol and Bournemouth and when I point the terms of use out to my friends they are appalled , so to use the wifi it has been known a few people put in rubbish anyway .I don't see why I spend £65 with Cote and provide all my personal details so you can sell my data ? I get enough junk emails without generating more. Great food but you devalue the brand doing this. Keith Perry
