Côte Dorking

Very nice very good service great value very friendly team

WE booked an hour .....before going for the Mothers Day Breakfast......luckily...as the restaurant was fully booked ....! and they had to turn people away....every table was full...but the staff were cheerful and friendly and welcoming...the food was delicious and served very quickly ...despite being so busy....I will go again.

Always excellent service and lovely staff. Food amazing, and a free birthday drink for myself and family! What’s not to like?

Very good. Table was ready on arrival. Service was good and food of excellent quality. I can’t wait for my next visit.oyr waiter was very nice and unobtrusive.

A Sunday evening, so almost no customers, I would estimate 25 covers mac. Totally disinterested staff, lazy kitchen who couldn’t get the basics right, and a team who huffed and puffed their way through even the smallest request, as if we’d interupted their Sunday evening. The food, bar one dish was OK, but sadly let down by the team.

Delicious brunch, as always in calm surroundings Great value for money too Thoroughly recommend

Slow service and waiter slightly rude, unintentionally but okay thank you

Wonderful food and service. Loved the rhubarb martini. Like having new dishes and the old favourites on the menu

Lovely warm reception from Virginia and Cip...family treat to celebrate a Birthday....excellent choice of starters, the Asparagus , particularly nice, and the fishy mains proved popular as was the grilled chicken and 'steak frites'. Was quite busy for a mid-week dinner, so as always, best to book ahead if you are a group, and of course the opportunity is there to mention, celebrations & allergies.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and of course we will be back. We have yet to be disappointed in Cote and consider it ti outstanding value for money. This is not always easy to find.

Welcoming, good service, excellent value and comfortable venue. Great dining! Very good for early evening meal with promotional drink offers. A real bonus for Dorking diners!

Place is perfect me and my girlfriend go every time we have free, love it won’t stop coming

We have been to vote many times and always enjoyed it. The food is excellent, attractively presented and of good quality. Good set menu too. Excellent staff.

Delicious food and pleasant staff as always. Unusually we had to wait rather a long time for our dessert and wonder if it had been forgotten.

A superb visit as always. We dine at Cote Dorking regularly and the food is always excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. Best restaurant I know for an unfailingly outstanding experience.

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.

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary here, had a fabulous evening

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.

Great service excellent food as usual at Dorking Cote!!! See ypuvsoon 😁

Perfect evening friendly staff reasonable prices will definately be going again

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.

Great service and reliably tasty food liked it and in my hometown great combination this review minimum word requirement is silly be grateful I leave any words!

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.

Lovely freshly prepared food and warm friendly staff (Delicious wine)

A wonderful evening with great food and friendly, efficient service - thank you!

On a cold January evening, the restaurant was warm and cosy (as far as a largish room can be cosy). The lamb shanks were delicious, the Merlot war the right temperature, and the waitress was attentive . To be repeated again soon? Of course.

Great food and lovely staff. Always welcoming and the food is served quickly and is always consistent. They make a real effort to give personal service to each table

Had a great meal with very friendly service, as always.

Lovely food and cocktails. Very attentive staff and wonderful choices. The service was extremely prompt and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was extremely laid back.

Great lunch and very good value. The service was superb. We were made very welcome when we arrived and at all times we felt we were special. Just how a top restaurant should operate.

A lovely experience, fantastic food, friendly, attentive staff, a great place to dine :)

Breton fish stew was tasty and wholesome and lamb chops were superb, probably the tastiest we've had. Service good and friendly. As usual a pleasant evening.

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.

EXCELLENT IN EVERY ASPECT,GOOD FOOD,EXCELLENT AND CURTEOUS SERVICE NICE SURROUNDINGS . THE STAFF ARE VERY ATTENTIVE AND KEEN TO ENSURE YOU ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF YOUR VISIT. WOULD THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT TO OTHERS.

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.

The waiter told me that on their fixed price menu (£11.50 - £13.50 ) they didn't have any white bait fish as a starter. I asked if I could have another fish starter that is on the other menu, Calamari, he said no. Her should of offered me that as a substitute, even as a one off as I am a regular customer at Cotes Dorking branch. I found his response quite poor, and wasn't making any allowance for the customer - seems wasn't putting the customer first. Considering he should of said when giving us the menu, we have had no delivery of White Bait fish. He should of put the customer first & offered me an alternative fish starter. This is quite poor response. But overall the food was nice

Excellent, as always. The French onion soup and Breton chicken are my particular favourites. It was good to see most of the tables filled: it was nearly empty on our last visit though I suspect that was due to bad weather.

We enjoyed a great evening at Cote Dorking. It was my daughter’s birthday. The restaurant is quite large but also cosy. The staff were friendly and perfectly attentive. The food was delicious. Thank you!

Great service by the staff. Really friendly and accommodating. Enjoyed the starter (calamari), really light and fresh. Was a bit disappointed by the steak. It was advertised as rib eye but was too thin and did not taste fresh. I asked for it medium but it was well done due to it being quite thin. Really happy with the free bottle of wine though as a first time customer!

Lovely Brunch today the first I have had in Cote Brasserie usually have lunches and evening meals. So nice to try something different for a change usually go to Carluccios in Cobham for Breakfast and Brunch. It was a good experience but the portion control at Cote is not a patch on Carluccios but the quality of food is better at Cote. (You can't have it all)
