Côte Dorking

Very nice very good service great value very friendly team

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

Great bank holiday brunch with cooked breakfast, orange juice and coffee of your choice - good value

Due to car breakdown were unable to attend on this occasion. But did phone to let you know! Have often dined with you in the past, though, and always found it a most enjoyable occasion. A We are impressed by the way - over time - that you maintain the excellent standard of your cuisine meaning that we can always rely on having a good dining experience.

A relaxed breakfast on Bank Holiday Monday with perfectly prepared food, drinks and friendly staff .

Lovely restaurant with good food and drink. The service was excellent and the whole experience was real value. I’m sure we will be going back again.

lovely sunny day, so decided on lunch @ COTE. The restaurant was warm and inviting , as to the welcome from Katarina, and the team there. Superb starters,beautifully presented...the whitebait in its own mini frying pan, and the goats cheese was delicious. Mains of butterflied chicken were wonderfully seasoned, perched on a bed of mash,with petit pois +lardons. Irresistible creme caramels,were perfect! The delicious meal, attentive service throughout by Irena and Ciara,and a spotlessly clean restaurant, we are very lucky to have this restaurant in Dorking...well done.

Excellent service, I returned my minute steak because it was a bit too rare and it was replaced without any fuss by a charming waitress.

Lovely, tasty fresh food, with good service ! Just what we needed on a busy day.

A lovely welcome, then offered the whole restaurant for seating - we had arrived early. Prompt, polite service followed by excellent food from the a la carte range. A successful evening.

Côte is always great. Lovely service. However, I would say that the French Breakfast was a bit disappointing. For the price they charge, they could easily have bottomless juice and coffee.

Wonderful food, beautiful setting, the perfect pretheatre destination in Dorking.. the set menu is the best in the field. Varied and great value- well worth it!

The service was slow but only because our server had too many tables to deal with. Food good.

As always the food was fantastic, staff attentive and lovely and the atmosphere was great. I have visited many Cote Brasserie's but Dorking is by far the best.

Staff, ambience, menu choice all excellent. Food was normal high standard. Excellent night out. I couldn't really fault it, and would certainly recommend it to friends.

Good value, food good, service v good, nice environment, great local restaurant!

Fantastic! Wonderful welcome from Katarina and Virginia..table beautifully prepared for our birthday party...superb food, excellent service...5 star ! Birthday girl very impressed....cocktails were delicious, mains of salmon and chicken beautifully presented, and seasoned, and the creme caramel....wonderful many thanks Katarina + team COTE Dorking..

Would have given 6 stars except for the fact we asked the waitress for an extra 2 or 3 minutes before taking our order whilst one of our party made some final menu choices. That 2 or 3 minutes became 15 to 20 minutes; suspect we may have been forgotten! Apart from that, would recommend Cote Brasserie without any hesitation.

Great food, great service. No complaints. Reasonable prices. Have been before and will go again. A member of our party was 50 mins late, and they managed to deliver his main at the same time as the rest. Well managed.

lovely welcome from David ,Cip & Katarina ,and Virginia & Andrea,marvelous Moules, delicious salmon, and of course an irresistible creme caramel...this restaurant is centrally located in the Heart of Dorking besides St Martin's church. Whether you come here for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner you will not be disappointed with the excellent service, and freshly prepared meals. Fishy things are always great, as too the steaks and vegetarian selection.The restaurant is well run, spotlessly clean, and you will be well looked after by all the team there. I noticed there is a gluten free menu, as well as the menu-enfants (which was very popular during half term)...the sun shone, the fizz flowed...superb..thank you and of course there is an outside terrace!!

Absolute top notch food and service as usual on what was one of busiest days of year. Excellent value. Away now until Early August but will visit a.s.a.p. When back. Well done Fred and Val Baxter

Excellent- delicious food and wine, catered really well for the children including gluten free options for our coeliac daughter. Lovely friendly helpful staff every time we visit Dorking. We will be back! If you could do kids size desserts that would be perfect!

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

As always a lovely meal and good service.we arrived late after a concert at Dorking Halls. No problem being served and no sense we were being rushed. Food was lovely as always.

We are huge fans a great menu top ingredients Perfectly cooked and presented Great service very attentive

lovely warm welcome from Cip & Ionut...table all ready for our party...fantastic food, superb service (thank you), lovely fizz, and delicious desserts...a really memorable Anniversary party. We are so lucky to have such an excellent restaurant in Dorking, with such a capable and attentive team, that make every visit, whether for a quick coffee, or long lunch, dinner a very happy and enjoyable experience. Thank you team COTE Dorking, and Cip Ionut, katarina and Davide for the lovely welcome.

It was a treat to go for a meal at Cotes, nice atmosphere and décor. Quite busy and lively. The meal was unexceptional and functional, I had the fish pie (wish I had ordered additional veg) and my wife had the salmon which came with veg. The chocolate mousse was literally just a chocolate mousse, no biscuit or cream on top... just basic and functional poorly presented... uninspired. My wife enjoyed her apple crumble. Our main waiter was OK. We asked another waiter for the bill but he never came back so we asked our original waiter who brought it straight away.

We've been to a number of different Cote branches, but we both felt this was probably our best experience at any Cote yet. The venue had a good atmosphere and was light with good space between the tables. The manager's welcome was excellent and he and his wife gave an oustanding package of welcome and service. The food was up to the usual high Cote standard, so we enjoyed a lovely evening. Well done Cote Dorking !

Excellent meal as always, good value and fabulous service. Would thoroughly recommend.

By far our favourite restaurant. Excellent team; good food, lively atmosphere. Few, if any, pubs can match this level of cooking, service and ambiance for the same money. Keep it up and we'll keep coming - and bringing our friends too.

Excellent food, slow service! We arrived for a 7:30 booking to a packed restaurant so we didn't expect speedy service. We were prepared for things to take time. The dinner started well, the waitress was friendly and the food was excellent. However when it came to paying the bill, we waited 40 minutes!!!! We asked the waitress first who clearly forgot. Then we managed to get the attention of who we assumed was a manager (although her leopard print shirt was very unprofessional!) who eventually gave us the bill. Considering we were already waiting with our cards out ready to pay and plenty of waiters walking past, they seemed more concerned with their after work drinks then taking our payment. What started as a good night ended with us leaving pretty annoyed as even though the restaurant was emptying the service got slower to basically non-existent!

The reception and service were welcoming and helpful and they did their best to cater for my wife's dietary requirements. The food was excellent and we had a very enjoyable evening all round. Thank you.

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.

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

Waitress was polite and attentive, but without being intrusive or made us feel rushed. food was delivered promptly but tasty and wine complimented it all.

Very good service the waiter was very engaging and pleasant and very efficient I noticed how hard he worked.

Excellent in all areas. Exemplorary service was matched by top quality food. Duck was perfectly cooked. When asked for matching wine, the waiter provided a lovely accompaniment. Will obviously visit again many more times.

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.
