Lovely evening in this lively restaurant. The steak frites were perfect but some of my cod goujons were very overcooked sadly...this was dealt with very well by the charming waitress. Always a delight to come here, service always second to none.

The worst possible service I have ever had. Was not attentive on departure took 20 mins to get my bill we where sat at the table with nothing on the table so it was obvious we wanted our bill tried to attract attention of server got nothing in the end had to tell her off which came as some surprises to her. Not happy we have dined here many times this will be our last appalling attitude not apologetic at all and just argued with me. Restaurant to noisy

We were greeted by the manager and he was very obliging and welcoming. We were entertaining guest from France and found the waitress to be very helpful witty and seemed to know what we wanted straight away, she was brilliant, she made our evening a very fun one.

Booked a table for mothers day for 6 of us. Asked for a table near toilets for disabled member of party and this request was accomadated. Lovely setting and all staff so very friendly. Nothing was to much trouble and even a slight mishap with our order was corrected quickly and efficiently and this was on a considerably busy day. None of our party had eaten a meal in Cote before but will happily eat here again and recommend to others. Good quality food and at a good price. Thank you. I very much look forward to dining here again soon.

Overall meal and service was good. However; We had a voucher and showed this to the manager who said the voucher was only for Mon - Fri. The vouchers didn't say this anywhere. He then said we could use it. ( not part of it, just we could use it) When we came to pay apparently we couldn't use the voucher. We had booked this Cote becasue of the voucher. So clearly let down by a promotion that was poorly worded.

Seven of us came to Cote yesterday evening to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We have had dinner in Cote probably four or five times and have also had lunch here. We decided to come to your restaurant on past experiences - and I now wish we had not chosen your restaurant in Dorking. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy when we arrived at 20:00. It took a while for the waitress to take our starter order - 2 x Olives and 3 x Bread Basket to eat with our starters. The starters did not come out at the same time and four of our party were waiting a good 5 minutes before the remaining starters were served up - so hot food cooled down significantly during the wait. After finishing our starters, we waited quite a while for the table to be cleared, and we waited ages to be served our main courses. With regard to my dish, the vegetables under the lamb were, at best, tepid with the lamb placed on top at a much higher temperature. My brother left most of his crepe - he didn't want to make a fuss at the time, neither did I because this was supposed to be an evening where we all enjoying ourselves. No-one wanted to spoil the evening but on leaving the restaurant, we all agreed it was sadly lacking, from the non-attentive service to the quality of the food. I know that the service charge is discretionary and I could have asked for it to be removed but £37.10 is a lot of money to pay out for this woeful dining 'experience'. Sadly, I won't be venturing to Cote in Dorking any time soon and I certainly won't be recommending to family and friends. For our next big celebratory meal we may very well try out one of the independents, Sorrel or Salt Pig. I really do feel I've been mugged being presented with a food bill for £335! Cote Dorking - you need to up your game.

Really enjoyed our breakfast to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday with family and friends- a great venue for groups of 25-35. We had to pre-order the food and drink. Would recommend asking for coffee/tea to be served at the end.

Everything was great but I don’t like the automatic 12.5 % added on even for a table of just two people. It should be up to us to decide how much we want to tip as in most other restaurants

Lovely enjoyable fresh food. Great strong coffee, a mint with the coffee would be been a bonus. If you have hearing aids it is better to sit in the first part of the restaurant close to the bar. Always tricky with hearing aids as noise bounces around hard flat walls.

Excellent service from managing staff and waitress, thank you. Small hiccup with two options of lamb which was rectified and the correct one brought after it was identified as the wrong one. Compensated with a g and t whilst waiting. Good food. Sent from my iPhone

Not as good as usual. Came for brunch as we fairly regularly do. Plates looked quite messy...bit stingy with the bacon....mushrooms weren't hot. Waitress great but more senior staff didn't seem to be providing much back up, and seemed cross (with us) when we pointed out that our hot drinks, which we'd been waiting for for some time, had been sitting on the side by the coffee machine right behind the manager, even when we'd asked for them. We gathered that they'd run out of milk - the cause of the original delay. How is that possible at 12noon on a Saturday?? A neighbouring table never got their hot drinks at all and when they asked for the price to be taken off the bill were told it was cheaper even without the drinks to pay the Breakfast deal price. They tried to explain that they wanted money off that because they'd been waiting so long, and were told they'd still be charged the full breakfast price. So they decided to wait even longer for drinks as it was clear no-one was going to take any money off. All in all, quite a disappointment. Usually much more efficient and gracious. To reiterate, our waitress was doing her best - looked to us as if she was the only one who was engaging with service at all.

Booked for 13 people and had to group book. I supplied a full order pre visit , on the night the food was very nice and enjoyed by all. We arrived at 8.30 and did not get any food until at least 9.30 due to issues unexplained. We did get some free garlic bread and the server was fine but it did slightly spoil the evening. We did spend a lot of money,

All was good - portion size excellent. 2 points: *the fennel was a bit hard and although parts were tender most of it could have been cooked a bit longer too. * We ordered sweet courses and the coffee came before the sweet. I would hope that it would come after. Also the double espresso was not particularly hot.
