Côte Dorking

The service was extremely slow and we waited 40 minutes for our starters to arrive. One of our party being v elderly ate slowly but 2 of the main courses were over cooked and the skin of the fish was burnt. The staff were more interested in talking amongst themselves than serving and my husband had to try to interrupt their chat to order our desserts. We were very disappointed with the service and would hestitate to return.

Busy restaurant for a random Thursday lunchtime, but the food is good and service too, so we are not really surprised. We will return before too long.

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.

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.

Great service great value great staff..thank you see you soon rhubarb martini fabulous

Our Mother's Day brunch was great. The food was delicious, together with the glass of Champagne, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was great.

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

The food was of a good standard. Unfortunately we had to wait for the side dish of vegetables which they had forgotten bout. Also, one of our party asked for another drink but again this was overlooked and she never got it.

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.

Always a pleasure to eat here. Very tasty food & wine & good service at a reasonable price & only a short walk from home! What’s not to like?!

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.

Fantastic birthday lunch..warm welcome from Cip & Ionut, chilled cocktails, stunning starters,marvellous mains, and delicious desserts. Nicely chilled fizz, and all expertly served. Definitely recommend COTE Dorking, for excellent food and service,but worth booking ahead as there is an opportunity to mention any special requests, or allergies.

Lovely early evening dinner food and service exceptional will. Be returning very soon.

Good quality food in pleasant surroundings served by friendly and helpful staff. The bill was significantly higher than the advertised early bird special price once we added vegetables and a glass of wine each.

Excellent service, great food, lovely experience. As it was a very a very warm day at the time of my visit to Dorking Cote, it would have helped if more cooling inside the restaurant was available which is the only reason for the rating not being 5*

Fabulous food with great service -there's no better Chicken in town. Cote never disappoints, the menu is really comprehensive so there's always something for everyone. Looking forward to my next visit.

Father's day brunch.. Food came super quick! Love Cote anyway especially the breakfast so never disappointed anyway! But great atmosphere and very efficient service! Usually go to Horsham branch but came to Dorking as Horsham was full! Dorking is beautiful and Cote is very well situated in the town! Will be back 😊

Quick service . No table water offered - so asked. Bacon over cooked - was better 6 months ago Beans not on full English

We really enjoyed our lunch today. The staff, quality of food ,we couldn’t fault. The weather was appalling, but the ambiance in the restaurant was very friendly.

From start to finish everything was perfect. Online booking very easy & efficient. Lovely meal & great service ...

Fabulous as always. I am a coeliac and I have every confidence in the food I have being gluten free.

A wonderful evening with spectacular service from start to finish.

a lovely evening ...very nice staff ...very helpful with allergy advice....ambience and food was lovely and very good value for money.

Breakfast as great as always and the staff welcoming and friendly

Always enjoyable to have a meal at Cote. Lovely food and excellent bservice. Thank you. Jill Wright

As usual, brilliant food and great service. Great vegetarian menu!

Excellent food, service and ambiance as always. We shall be back.

Excellent from start to finish! Firm elbow bump from David,and warm welcome from Ionut. Attentive service from Ciara...rapid service, spotless restaurant (we noticed surfaces being carefully wiped down), and of course excellent food. Lots of diners enjoying a wide selection of meals, several families enjoying the brief sunshine. A flourishing restaurant with a lively, friendly well led team, and superb food and service...enjoy

A very nice evening, food absolutely spot on. Waiters brilliant.

Warm welcome. Lovely atmosphere. Great food and wine. Helpful staff.

Always excellent both in food and service I just wish they had a loyalty scheme as I go at least once or twice a month 😁.

Another enjoyable evening! We have never seen the restaurant full before! You are obviously are doing something right!

One of your waiters was very kind to us I believe his name was Robin he was tall with glasses, He was very well mannered And polite and made sure we was okay during our meal. We tipped him after our Meal and we definitely will be back. Thank you

We always have great food but on this occasion haddock was overcooked so a little dry

As regular visitors to Cote in Dorking, we were greeted warmly and looked after expertly as usual. The food and wine were very much up to their usual standard and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Food was delicious but the service was slow and not as professional as I would expect of this chain.

I invited my family for Sunday lunch and booked a table for 8 plus 1 child at 1pm in Dorking branch. We were a little late settling because my son in law had a diabetic attack. We were served initially quickly but the drinks were slow to arrive. Our first course arrived. Then a 40 minute wait for our main course, a test for any parent and very embarrassing for me. The restaurant was nearly empty and staff seemed to disappear. There is something wrong with this branch as we know others provide excellent food and service.
