Côte Dorchester

This was our first visit to Côte Brasserie in Dorchester but it certainly won't be our last. The menu was extensive but not overwhelming; the service was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. This, together with a vibrant buzz in the restaurant made for a really lovely evening. Would thoroughly recommmend it.

Good food, good service and nice atmosphere. Couldn't fault it. My only issue is the 12% service charge but they don't quibble when you change it.

As always excellent service and friendly staff. Very enjoyable cod from the July specials menu, breast of duck very good and the creme caramel was excellent as always

As always, in Dorchester, quick, friendly service,food good and wines drinkable. It is a light , clean and pleasantly decorated restaurant, with a good outside terrace, near to the station and town centre.

Good Service , Good Food and a relaxing atmosphere! We visited for our anniversary and had a very enjoyable evening. I'm sure we will visit again soon!

Good service,good food, very enjoyable lunch in pleasant surroundings.not pressured for time. Menu is not over extensive but is comprehensive and should be sufficient for most people.

Nice meal, but restaurant was quite busy, service not as attentive as would have liked. There appeared to be an issue that two of the staff had with each other which was not hidden well.

Good food and great value. Although we had no cutlery at the beginning this was soon rectified. The early bird menu is great value and the ambiance of the restaurant meant we had a lovely evening.

Great staff & really good food (especially after having spent 2 weeks eating well in France) but, very noisy in this branch. We really had to raise our voices to hear each other, strange acoustics? Would definitely return but, with a view to eating outside.

A very nice lunch as usual, very good value and nicely presented. Staff efficient, if there was a small criticism it is difficult to here conversation as there are no soft furnishings to absorb the noise. But overall good.

Plenty of choice from the menu, to suit all tastes. Food was tasty and well presented. Service was informal, but extremely efficient. Would certainly visit again.

We had breakfast at the Cote. It was great. Service was good and of course the food was good .It was very cosy on a very wet day.

first time we have visited a cote brasserie the service was very good, a great menu /wine list. would recommend , looking forward to the Bournemouth one in westover road .?

Best meal we've had in ages. Good menu, excellent service, tasty food and all served very promptly. Ideal for a good meal before going to the cinema.

Excellent as always. Service and food completely up to expectations. We like how the menu is changed frequently and uses seasonal ingredients to ring the changes

A lovely experience overall, but disappointed in some aspects of the service. I had to ask for the gluten free menu even though I could see it was written on my reservation. Same with the free kir royales. We had to wait for someone to come over and take our drinks order to ask for them. The waiter did not use the napkin to catch the drips from the ice bucket when pouring our wine and one of the party had a wet lap. At the end, the girl dealing with the bill and taking our payments was abrupt and clearly was tired and wanted to go home. Not the usual experience I enjoy when coming to cotes. Food was lovely though

I just love Cote Brasserie. The staff are always friendly and very knowledgeable regarding the food and wine. It's great for me as I'm gluten free and that is very reassuring when I go out to eat as it can be a nightmare. Have always had consistently good food and service also very good value for money.

We are regular users and always enjoy friendly service. Friday night was very busy but service very smooth and friendly, food fresh and well cooked.

Prompt and attentive service and food generally good, but garlic bread was not available and vegetarian sausage main course was disappointing. The deserts were excellent!

Good menu and lots of choices. Eaten there twice now and not been disappointed. The food tastes great - I had the minute steak and 'frites' and the crème brulee which was scrummy. Highly recommend

Very good burger, but salad garnish left off one order. Steak overcooked but tasted fine. Wrong dessert delivered, so they replaced it promptly and didn't charge for it. Overall very happy with food and service.

This food was fine, the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed and quite a few tables needed clearing. Nice to be able to sit outside viewing the fountain.

Welcome, meal and service were all up to the Dorchester restaurant's usual high standard. Being a Bank Holiday, the restaurant, and Brewery Square, were very busy providing a vibrant atmosphere.

We love to have breakfast here....one of the best we've ever had! The veggie breakfast is amazing...have eaten lunch and dinner here too...never disappoints 😋

Great customer service and great food. My friend and I spent a pleasant Sunday lunchtime in the Dorchester branch. I would recommend it strongly to friends.

As us it was really good. The food was amazing and the service impeccable. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to people. I intend to return again and again.

Service was excellent but food was what you'd expect from a chain and a bit pricey as a result. Having said that, it was nice and we enjoyed the meal. Our waitress was fantastic.

Fabulous service and exceptionally tasty food, we took advantage of the 'early bird menu'. Lovely view watching the children play in the fountain. Thoroughly recommend.

Good food and atmosphere .....the service could have been better towards the end of the evening. We waited quite a long time to receive the bill.

Great food and welcoming atmosphere, with attentive but discrete service. A very pleasant experience in a nice part of Dorchester. Would recommend and we will be back!

The food as usual was excellent but I did not feel the staff were at the top of their game. There were sa number of chips on the floor under a table when we arrived and I pointed them out to the staff when I left who were just about to clear them up!

Outstanding service from Kate, Calvin and the team at Cote. Treated my sister and brother-in-law to a meal, - they had come down from Liverpool for the weekend. They were mightily impressed, not just by the food and ambience, but by the warmth of the welcome. My wife and I are regulars here, and, whilst occasionally the food has let them down, the service is always highly professional, with the additional personal touches that mean so much to the customer (anticipating our own querky needs, ensuring that when possible we get our preferred tables, etc). Cote HQ could learn a lot from Kate and Calvin - but please don't take them away from Dorchester!

Fabulous food & drink! I forgot how much I love French style food! Waitresses with personality!! We had a lovely time & will be back!! Seat by the window so lots of light lovely! 😀

The restaurant had a great choice of breakfasts and both of ours were beautifully cooked. The service was excellent. We will certainly be coming for breakfast again.

Excellent food which was all at a great price considering what we ordered as the sea bass was 2 huge bass fillers for £15. The service was also amazing

Lovely brunch, server guided us towards to breakfast special which included juice and coffee for £9.75 which was very reasonable. The food was well presented and the server left us alone to chat without pushing for us to buy more products.

We had delicious meal the 3 of us . I had the gluten free menu lamb was good followed by chocolate mousse. Staff very friendly

Lovely atmosphere in this restraint .The service is always good and staff pleasant and well trained. The menu has a range to suit all tastes

Always lovely helpful staff we really enjoyed our delicious breakfast in the sunshine ☀️ the atmosphere in the Dorchester restaurant is always relaxed and efficient

Everything about our visit was excellent, especially the people. We use Cote regularly and have found it the best on all fronts the food has a great variety and changed monthly.

Great service and fresh, tasty food in the French tradition; a really good meal. The décor and ambience is comfortable and relaxing - highly recommended.

We always enjoy our selves at the Dorchester branch.. Staff always friendly and offer great customer service.it is my husbands birthday today and we were offered a mimosa with our breakfast. Will continue to return, well done

Great staff lovely food, best on brewrey square. Got there 2 hours early and not a problem for them, have been using this place regularly since it opened and not have had a bad meal.

Lovely atmosphere in restaurant. The staff were very helpful and the food was great. i love simple French style food with minimal ingredients and good taste.an enjoyable evening.

Delicious food which I cannot fault. It was full the night we went and the acoustics are poor so it was hard to make yourself heard at times.

Lovely food, well cooked, and served by polite and friendly staff. A varied and extremely good value menu. Relaxed atmosphere with comfortable seats. Waiting staff could have been a little more attentive though.

The attention for the staff was good at the beginning of the meal. One item was not brought to the table until we asked for it. The food was mediocre but the wine was good and we struggled to find any staff to bring us the bill, which also put a damper on the meal. I would not go back to this restaurant.

We always have a good meal at Cote Dorchester. The service is good and the food is lovely. The fixed price lunch is good value, several choices on a menu that changes every month.

Excellent as always in all respects.Very good and attentive service and food was of the usual very high standard. Will definitely be returning soon. Thanks

Food was good, but the room very noisy and service was poor service. The waitress continuously passed cutlery and food across the table instead of serving the customer despite being asked not to
