Nice meeting place for lunch. Easy to find in Brewery Square Easy nearby parking. Bonus of a large window out onto the square area. Food & service was the usual great Cotes experience of reliability. Staff wore visors & tables were well spaced. We didn’t feel uncomfortable at any time regarding precautions for Covid19. It’s a shame there is currently no optional lunch Set Menu but that is understandable in the current climate with reduced guest capacity.

I eat at Cote Brasserie often. Socially, my wife and i enjoy the atmosphere of the establishment and always find that the staff take their time to exchange pleasantries, making you feel like a friend rather than a customer. I also use the premise for business lunches/dinners - I can always rely on Cote to acknowledge the difference and seem to instinctively understand when to give a little space.

Lovely to go out for a meal and feel normal again!! The atmosphere was great and, as always, the food was excellent. One of the only restaurants we go to where we are tempted each time to have a dessert!!!!

Service was excellent and very patient as we were a bit slow on our ordering decisions. All 6 of us enjoyed the starters (Calamari, Prawn Gratinee, and the Chicken Liver Parfait) the mains (Sea Bream, Belly Pork, Poulet Breton, and the 3 steaks were all cooked well. I enjoyed my crepe. All in all we had a good time. Thank you staff.

They would not cater to our simple requirements. Went elsewhere and had a lovely time. Probably won’t return. Sad service in such desperate times for businesses. I would have thought they would be grateful for the custom.

First meal out since lockdown. Felt quite relaxed as staff appeared to be regularly cleaning tables and chairs and wore protective face visors. My husband is coeliac and, as usual, had great confidence in the menus and staff training. Food very good.

It was nice to be at Cote again during ‘ eat out to help out’. The service was a little slow which is unusual as it was only quite busy. The food was very good as usual and the stall were as helpful as ever and concerned by the wait we had today .

Cote in Dorchester is always a pleasure to visit, and on our opinion is one of the two best restaurants in Dorchester, and there is plenty to choose from!! The food is always exquisite. The staff are always friendly without being ‘over friendly’. Was mainly served by Kye (really sorry if I spelt his name wrong!!), who was pleasant and chatty.

After weeks of lockdown we decided that an anniversary needed to be celebrated. We decided on Côte Brasserie and are pleased that we did. Good service, attentive but not intrusive. Good food, well cooked and nicely presented. Care exercised by staff in order to meet Covid 19 requirements so all in all a very enjoyable evening.

Lovely food and excellent customer service as ever and really nice to see the table laid. Understand its a reduced menu currently but hoping the breakfast deal with drink included comes back soon, also the eggs royale is back on the menu soon! Thank you though, really lovely for first Cote meal back after lockdown.

It was lovely to visit one of our favourite restaurants in town again and not feel overwhelmed by Covid-19 restrictions which seems to be the norm. Good food and drinks. Well done!👍

It was wonderful to be back in Cote. The food was excellent and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive as ever. My only points for improvement would be; 1) the first table we were seated at was directly in the draft from the open door. At 19:15 on a less that balmy evening it would have been good if the staff had considered this before seating us. When we asked to move we were relocated without any issues but it wasn’t a great start to the evening. 2) we were given the menu which had drinks on the back. Our favourite wine was not on the list so we selected an alternative. During the meal we observed other diners being given a separate drinks menu. When we mentioned at the end of the meal that it was a shame our favourite wine had not been available the waiter confirmed that we should have been given a separate wine list on which all wines were available. He apologised but it would have been better to get right first time.

We really enjoyed our meal but was upset at end as was not offered option to not pay the optional gratiduty was told the combined amount minus the vouchers I had and we left a cash tip too !!I normally pay amount without gratiduty and leave my own tip . Realised when we got home when too late . Other than this I couldn't fault anything .

Nice to get back to our local Cote, see all the same faces of the staff that where there before Covid and have the same amazing experience and great food even if it was only from the main menu. The eat out to help out was just a super bonus. Best wishes to all and glad you have come through the worst of 2020 and survived. Keep smiling stay well and stay safe.
