Côte Dorchester

Lovely to go back to our favourite restaurant in Dorchester, and to see the same staff back in their familiar places! Thank you.

I am a frequent customer of Cote, I could not see any COVID measures in place but felt very comfortable and safe

Great food, great service thank you, will return another day soon

Great to have Cote open again and we took advantage of a"Eat out help out" lunch. Lovely calamari and lamb chops with a glass of rose, and everything felt normal.

Thank you so much for a faultless meal at lunchtime today. My daughter and I were celebrating her 21st birthday and we were thoroughly spoilt with complimentary fizz and dreamy chocolate mousse. Thank You

Excellent service, very nice menu with good choice, will definitely return.

Lovely lunch with mum. Staff as friendly and attentive as ever despite the inevitable visors and the atmosphere really happy and buzzy. Everything felt as normal and safe as they could make it so I would have no hesitation in going back. Thank you for all your hard work to be able to reopen

I was concerned about the lack of social distancing. The layout in the restaurant look as it’s always looked, another customer had to squeeze past my husband.

Food very good, service very good, very happy, would go again.

A bit stressed as social distancing not observed. Tables too close together. Probably won’t visit again

A well managed establishment and apart from the obvious face shields, not much has changed from previous lockdown. Food quality is the same and the annoying secret service charge on the finsl bill but glad the restaurant is open for business again. Most other restaurants currently operate with staff not having to wear full face visor. I am hoping the cote management team look at the risk to benefit analyses regarding staff face coverings and adopt the same system as neighbouring restaurants operate. A face covering with a mask over the moith and nose is ample. The full plastic shield is less effective and makes communications difficult between staff and customer.

Very enjoyable meal. We will certainly be back in the very near future to enjoy your food which is always of a very high standard.

Lovely to be back and seeing our favourite staff and eating from the full menu again - with the bonus of £10 off with a Rishi dishy meal! Went a bit mad and had the lobster with frites so had to have a glass of wine and then couldn’t resist a dessert! Treats all round. We’ve also enjoyed Cote at home meals during lockdown!

Always a pleasant dining experience and great, well cooked food!

Always helpful, efficient staff, quick service with a good menu

Great to be back at Cote after nearly 6 months! Food and service as good as ever. Well done all!

Amazing food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Was a pleasure.

We come to your Dorchester branch at least once every two months. The staff are always friendly and the food is of great quality! Worth every penny! During this experience it seemed that we were rushed, we hadn’t finished our appetiser when our starters arrived, we were in and out of the restaurant within an hour of arriving having had appetiser, starter and main, we wanted a relaxed evening as we haven’t been out due to feeling nervous about Covid 19 and my partner being higher risk than others, it just seemed a bit rushed. We felt safe in the establishment however we did observe that people were not socially distancing very well. The staff all wore face coverings and you could tell as always the place was well cleaned. We really do love your restaurants!!

A very enjoyable evening with old friends, with a lively atmosphere, attentive service, from a reduced menu, unfortunately some choices missing from menu, so a bit limited. Nicely presented and cooked food, lamb chops could have been leaner and the fish Palmentier needed some green vegetables included, and looked rather bland. Desserts were usual standard. Not the usual standard of food expected, but this was the first night open after 6 months of closure. I would not have wanted to pay full price for this, but ok with Gov subsidy.

Their first day of opening and on the “Eat Out to Help Out” promotion.The service was attentive and the food excellent.It was lovely to have Côte open again in Dorchester and to feel a sense of normality in its familiar ambience.

We have missed our visits ! So pleased you are up and running again! The ambience was great . The service was fantastic and the food excelled all our expectations . Thank you to all the staff in Dorchester . We will be back ASAP . 👍👍

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.

Always great food and excellent service . Great value for money

Well done Dorchester Cote! First day open after lockdown...perfect meal, beautifully served!

Good food and good to see all the employees back and

As usual an enjoyably Meal with my family was pleased when the restaurant reopened. We usually only go for special Occasions.

Wonderful lunch, great service, lovely to see everyone again! Looking forward to next time already!

Another lovely day evening spent in our favourite restaurant. Staff as ever welcoming & attentive. Food excellent and the February ‘Special Aperitif of Blood Orange Martini was fabulous! Thank you too for the presentation of grandson’s bday cake complete with singing!!! See you all soon xx

As regular clients of Cote Dorchester I can only reiterate the reviews I have made previously - consistency, excellent staff, friendly and the food is always the same quality ie you don’t feel that you think a different chef is on duty. Thelma

Excellent food and service as always. This restaurant is a regular of ours the staff are amazing nothing is too much trouble and the food is excellent every time we visit thank youxxxx

Nice and appreciated to have a complimentary Drink Lamb chops VERY FATTY with little meat Sauce tasty

Top food, drink and service! Tge steak fillets were beautifully cooked. We will definitely be coming back again, can’t wait. See you soon and thanks again

I have not visited this restaurant before, and was very impressed by the ambiance. Staff were welcoming and helpful, the food delicious.. I would certainly visit again if I were in Dorchester.

Great food and atmosphere friendly staff definitely go again for brunch had full English and it was Lovely menue varied to cover all taste and pockets

We visited with three small children (6,3 and 5 months) and were welcomed in despite having booked on line for only 4 having not seen we could book for more. Prompt and efficient service. A good experience all round. Thank you.

Had a very nice evening at Cotes. Even though the restaurant was very busy we couldn't fault anything. Once again we all came to the conclusion Cotes is the best place to eat in Dorchester.

Excellent food and service. We had 2 children in our group who were made to feel welcome and we were impressed by the choice on the children’s menu.

As always -good food - good service and excellent cuisine - fine dining on an affordable budget - would recommend to all our friends (as long as they take us along with them?)

Excellent meal and tentative staff, would definitely recommend. Have had brunch there before and thoroughly enjoyed.

Always welcoming & friendly. Food reliably good as always. Excellent service & atmosphere just right. Would recommend this and we’ve eaten at 3 Cote, Dorchester, Bournemouth & Ealing & they are all good to the same superb standard
