Service was excellent, food was brilliant...will definitely be back! Booked online...so easy to do. Would highly recommend for pre-theatre dinner albeit a little on the expensive side.

I encouraged my friends to go for lunch here as I had tecently visited and the fiood and service was excellent. However two if my friends ordered the seafood linguine and said that there was a strong aroma which “put them off”. I tried to tell them to speak to a member of staff but they felt as I had booked it they did not want to make a fuss. A shame I think. Service was as always excellent even though tit was very busy and everyone enjoyed their starters very much.

As always excellent food served and really good value. Lovely location in Canterbury with a wonderful opportunity to eat al fresco in a well appointed outside seating area. What really stands out at this restaurant is the excellent customer service. They have a very warm Welcome and an excellent team of waiting staff. Would highly recommend

Excellent meal in very relaxed and may I say professional environment. A little bit of France has been distilled into the fine city that is Canterbury. All of our food was first rate as was the service.

Very nice meal, and prompt service. Staff always friendly and pleasant. Only problem was being at end of restaurant next to disabled toilet, with a queue and people having trouble opening door...so rather noisy and not very private!

Lovely meal, lovely waitress who was very attentive & recommended a lovely wine. She also arranged a birthday surprise. Attempted to make an Irish coffee with sucess. My steak wasnt cooked great a d I’m normally the first to complain but I let it go as We was having a lovely time. Our waitress made a pleasant evening into a fab one and she didn’t even know it, she understands great service and is a real asset to you Cote.

I always love Cote. It's very good value for money and the service is good. It wasn't so great on this occasion though... It was lunch time, and the restaurant was very busy so the staff were run off their feet. As usual they were friendly and helpful, but service was quite slow. I noticed that kitchen staff brought out our food on trays - but had to wait for waiting staff to serve it to us. Because it was so busy, they had to wait a while - so the food wasn't as hot as it could be. We ordered spinach with our meals which was forgotten and we had to wait quite a while between courses. The food was good quality as usual, the staff were professional and doing their best, but I think perhaps there should have been more staff on, or that kitchen staff should have just served us rather than waiting for the front of house staff. I will come back, because I think it was probably a glitch. I sincerely hope so.

I am a regular at Côte both in Canterbury and Bath. Today was not a good experience. I brought a couple of friends. The service was not very good and I did speak to the duty manager. However I was also disappointed with the food. I thought the sea bream was dry and the accompanying vegetables uninspired. I did not finish my meal. My guest asked for a flat white coffee and was disappointed to receive a cup full of froth. Sad - it was always my favourite town restaurant to meet friends but I will be looking elsewhere.

A Saturday evening booked for 7pm. We arrived on time and were offered a choice of tables so we opted for the one set for three persons even though we were only two as it’s nice to have a little extra space for the wine etc. We ate three courses all of which were in our opinion delicious. The restaurant was very busy yet the food arrived at nice intervals not too quick and not too slow. Service was very polite and efficient. We had a thoroughly nice experience and will return.

We enjoyed our visit last week we thought we would come again. Once again, very friendly staff and the food again was very good. Won’t be very long before we come back. I’ve always thought the menu was very good, with plenty to choose from. Very enjoyable lunch.

The restaurant was clean and well kept, the staff were well presented and pleasant. It was my first visit to this restaurant and once our order had been placed we didn't have to wait long. The waitress came to check that everything was ok with our meals after a few minutes which I'm happy to say it was .Our meals were delicious, well presented and hot which doesn't happen everywhere. All in all I was very happy with my meal and the service and will definitely be returning.

Excellent food (as always) and very good value. My only little criticism is that it is noisy wherever you sit downstairs. As my guests were 88 & 89 respectively, I didn't want to haul them up the stairs. We'll be back soon!

Great service and food. Unfortunately there was a loud group on a table next to us but you can't criticise cote for that and to be fair they offered an alternative table at the outset. We just didn't realise why.... We will be going back
