We always enjoy our meals at Cote Brasserie. The food is varied and delicious and the staff always make us feel so welcome. The online booked free cocktail was not available, so we were immediately offered an alternative - glass of wine, etc. They earn and deserve our support and we are going again at the weekend.

2 October my birthday treat. First time in any restaurant since mid March and the wonderful staff in our Cote Dorchester came up trumps as always. Lost an earring somewhere along the line as a result of taking my mask on and off but it could be anywhere. They are keeping an eye out for it and I’ve learnt my lesson!

I visited Cote in Dorchester in early October 2020 as a birthday celebration. As a coeliac with dairy intolerance eating out is often a stressful experience, but the staff at Cote made this a totally stress-free occasion to the point that my faith in eating out is 100% restored. A full gluten-free menu is available and staff happily checked the allergens for me, highlighting what I could eat from this menu. I enjoyed a delicious main and dessert and my family also loved their regular meals. All Covid restrictions were adhered to without hassle. Would definitely recommend. From booking to leaving, there was nothing to improve. The restaurant was not so busy when we visited, but all I can say is that more people should go. Thank you

Food and service were excellent. Unfortunately the COVID spacing of tables were not 2 metres. We were on a table for two and the two tables next to ours, a table for six and a table for two, were about 2 feet way when the customers sat down. A couple who were also too close to the table for six moved as they felt uncomfortable. This spoilt what was an excellent meal.

We are regulars here. On this particular evening, my wife and I were taking a friend out for dinner for his birthday. The food was really nice, but the service was, unusually for my experience here, rather poor. Our main courses arrived while we were still halfway through our starters. When I mentioned this afterwards as I was paying, I was told that what we were eating ( fougasse, olives, saucisson sec) didn't count as starters. I replied that I had specified when ordering that we were treating them as starters. Anyway, what restaurant brings a main course over to a table where people are clearly still eating? I was a little surprised that there was no offer to at least remove the service charge. But the food was lovely, so that is also important to add.

Delicious meal graciously served; one of our group said that it was the nicest meal she had had out - ever! Many thanks. Only one comment: the 'music' wasn't at all to our taste!

The food was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as did my wife. Her only complaint was that the plate for her main course was cold making the meal a little cooler than she would have liked. Strangely my plate was hot so I think they just missed one.

The food was excellent as always. However at a table nearby a Spanish lady close by was speaking far too load and was anxious regarding her 'speech spray'. I know this can be difficult to regulate, but this is an area that should be more monitored in these Covid times !

We had a great meal. We were greeted with a friendly smile and shown to our table. As we are regular customers we had previously booked which allowed os the free cocktail. Sadly, the fig martini was off but we opted for the rhubarb martini and that certainly did not disappoint.. We went for the seasonal menu which was lovely and the crepes with grand mariner is a favourite of mine. Lovely evening.
