Delicious food cooked perfectly as always! So glad to have them back open after covid. The only, very minor niggle would be the rush of service to speed up the flow of tables and get as many bookings in as possible. We had eaten and handed the bill in under an hour! But still as good as ever! Thank you.

Enjoyable dining on a quiet afternoon We were shown to our table and quickly organised with our complimentary cocktails. Our orders were taken soon after. The food was delicious and very HOT Rare (pun ?) to find steak tartare on menu but it was perfect, in fact the best that I have eaten. Our mains were just as good Service was efficient and polite. Good customer service

Always a great experience at Cote Dorchester but on this occasion the service was very slow, some of the meals were incorrect and the Chateaubriand was incredibly tough. When we discussed this with the waitress we were told that the feedback regarding the Chateaubriand would be given to the Regional Manager and that was that!

We ate off the bargain January menu starting at 6 PM so there was a slight lack of atmosphere due to low numbers, no doubt explained by the threat of snow. The meal was excellent I had the soup my wife had the ham with remoulade. My mains was pork fricassee and hers was chicken, cannot remember exactly how was cooked but it was good.Out of pure greed I had a chocolate pot to finish. Two large glasses of wine and a bill of £45 including the tip. Outstanding value.

As with all of our many visits to Cote Dorchester, we had a marvelous time. Very attentive and professional front of house staff and magnificent food served just as it should be with spot on timing from the kitchen, made this special birthday visit quite wonderful, and we could not have wished for or found better. We noticed that all of the other customers, including another three birthday celebrations, received the same level of service. We have rated honestly all headings with 5 stars including the noise level because even with near capacity covers and four birthday crowds we could still have good conversation, and I am a bit deaf! Well done Cote, Dorcheseer!

Quick decision to do late lunch/early dinner. Turned out to be a fine option. Quiet when we arrived at 4pm but great to look at fountains. We must have started a trend as restaurant filled up. Service and food always very good.

David S.6 years ago · 1 review

We have been to this restaurant many times before but the experience we had last night was below par. There were many new staff who were not the same quality as our previous experiences. They were far less friendly than usual and the dishes were almost thrown on our table rather than placed. The experience was not helped by the fact that we usually go to Cote because we all like our steaks. They only had one sirloin left!! When it came to the bill I noticed that the 4 of us were charged for 5 main courses. Although it was refunded there was very little by way of an apology. It was a great shame because we have had many good evenings there in the past.

Very disappointed in the service at this restaurant. I had pre booked a certain table weeks ahead for mother’s day in the special requests details and I have spent many times at this restaurant and spent hundreds of pounds in the past going here. Today was a big mistake from when we arrived we were ushered to a tiny cramped table with people seated too close together, the other option we were offered was the seating area we originally requested if we ate quick and got out of the seat for others who had pre booked (allowed to do so due to two more attending) It was a chaotic frenzy with babies screaming, old people coughing and a draft from the main windows by our table. We felt rushed the whole time and what was supposed to be a special occasion was a nightmare dining experience. It completely put me off going here again. I will be writing a review for trip advisor about this experience.

We have eaten at this restaurant a number of times. The food was really good and the staff very friendly. The staff became aware that my partner and I were getting married at the weekend and when we paid our bill we were given a bottle of wine on the house, a very nice ending to a great meal
