Côte Esher

It’s great to have you back at Esher and seeing our usual waitress smiling face and welcome was fantastic. Great service and food. Only request is hopefully in the near future you can offer your all in one breakfast ie choice of fruit juice, hot drink and food ( full English, French breakfast etc)

Loved eating in cote again. Sad to see the breakfast menu is not being served yet, so only had brunch... Can’t wait for the breakfast to be back... hopefully soon...

It was lovely to be back in Cote Esher. All the staff were friendly and attentive and the service was excellent. The food was very tasty. We all noticed that surfaces, chairs etc were being wiped down which is good and appreciated the visors being worn. It was one of my daughter’s birthdays and she had a lovely time. Thank you for helping make it a special occasion. We will be back.

Very good and great service - as always the creme caramel is the best ever tasted!!

Lovely to be back Missed you. Great food and service as usual

I feel sorry for the staff. The ridiculous visors are practically helmets. Customers can’t hear the staff clearly and worse still the staff can’t hear the customers. Whose idiotic idea was this? It literally alienates people. The food and service were fine but missed the lunch menu and specials supposedly dropped “because Covid...” I won’t be in a hurry to return whilst you dress up your staff like aliens and therefore treat your customers like plague victims.

Great that you are open again for eat-in meals. The service, as always, was friendly, enthusiastic and professional. The food was delicious as ever. The only frustration is your insistence on stating that there is a 12.5% service charge added to the bill whereas it is actually 15% because you add it to the VAT inclusive price.

Lovely to be back and be welcomed by the familiar faces of the lovely staff. We felt very safe because of the Covid precautions taken. Welcome back Cote. You were missed

Great you are open again. Bring back the breakfast please!!

Wonderful service and excellent food. The restaurant layout shows awareness of the virus challenge and tables and chairs were being (unobtrusively) sanitised as each customer left. Great to be back.

Lovely to have Cote Esher back in business with familiar and welcoming faces. Understand why the reduced menu but consistent as always.

Very good service, good quality of food, friendly and respectful staff. No reduction in the food bill, is this likely in the future?

So pleased you are open. Nice meal and staff. A few teething problems eg masks caused an ordering mix up but rectified quickly and politely. Cote is a regular haunt of hours and we hope you will add the brunch menu for more days soon.

We are regulars at Cote Esher and were so pleased to be back. Particularly pleased to see so many of the original staff.

It was so lovely to return to Cote in Esher. Everyone was so welcoming and professional. The food was delicious too! Thank you and we look forward to visiting again soon

Delighted you are open again. Great food and good service

Wonderful early Mother’s Day lunch with my daughter. As always food was excellent and reasonably priced. So lovely to be able to enjoy the experience outdoors in sunshine

As on previous occasions, a very nice meal with good service. The Cote Brasserie chain is always reliable, wherever they are and we have been to many.

2nd time we have been for breakfast and what a beautiful breakfast we had x

Our waiter was fantastic. We are regulars to the chain and live the food service, however there was clearly something different in food quality with this experience. Particularly the celeriac mash I was meant to have with the set steak was in fact potato mash. That’s ideal for me, except that it was extroadinarily bad, cold, lumpy, pre-cooked, heated up mash! Really goes against your usual quality and reputation. The couple next to us had the same thing. On a personal taste point, we went to cote because we love what you normally do, we didn’t like the set menu which we found restricting. Petals on the napkin was a nice touch though.

Food was lovely, tasty and quick service too but cooked to perfection. Very impressed by the waitress who was great, didn't feel pressured but she was there when required and was friendly

Great experience. Food was lovely as always. Staff extremely attentive. My husband was looking after our baby girl while I was eating my lunch on Father’s Day. The waiter has noticed his dish got cold and offered to rehear it. The chef then actually prepared the dish again. We also got our dessert free of charge because we had to wait for them a bit. We’ll be back again.

Delicious food with lovely staff. I always enjoy going here and am never disappointed

Overall the meal was good but restaurant busy and service a little slow. Quite surprisingly advised , after taking the order, that garlic bread was not available. Had to suffice with plain bread .

Excellent friendly and efficient service. My Breton chicken a little dry but guess that is why you offer sauces with it! Also a little noisy but a race day so to be expected. Ambience otherwise good.

Very welcoming staff and pleasant all around. Food was delicious and delivered in an appropriate manner. Staff were very attentive with good knowledge of what they were serving.

The food was mostly delicious except for over cooked burgers which were blackened and dry, but overall experience let down by the service. Table wasn’t cleared repeatedly from the unused wine glasses to the starter plates remaining on the table when our mains were served. Orders weren’t taken without prompting and our first waiter walked off halfway through taking the drinks order leaving half the table out. The second waiter we had was clearly having a bad day or in the wrong job as he was snooty, snappy & plain rude! We requested he adjust the 12.5% tip for a lesser amount and he proceeded to snap at us for not telling him sooner. Management would do well to replicate the high standards in the kitchen to front of house for this place to be a success. There were only a few tables on a busy bank holiday weekend.... I understand why!

We had a wonderful meal celebrating a 30th Birthday and Mother’s Day. Food was delicious, Service great. A memorable evening. Thank you to Cote team.

Why should I spend my money to listen to a screaming child? Not acceptable. Not the fault of the restaurateur but if you have a young child that you cannot control it is best if you stay at home. Would you like me to scream at you when you are spending hard earned money on a nice meal?

We love the Cote menu compared to the other chain restaurants. Nice wines even at the lower price level. Fast and very friendly service. All made for a lovely night.

Always so good! Fast, attentive service, delicious bread, good sized portions. We have been coming to A Cote for ten years and still a winner with us.

There were four of us celebrating a family birthday . Delicious food , good service and a pleasant atmosphere . We thoroughly enjoyed our evening .

The set menu is excellent value, frequently altered to include enticing new dishes, all of which are beautifully presented. The serving staff are always attentive and the overall ambience of the restaurant is welcoming and comfortable.Definitely one of our favourites.

Brilliant family brunch with excellent and attentive service as usual! We always feel looked after and the waitress and waiters look after our every need. Highly recommended.

As usual, food and service good except for burnt pissaladier, which the manager took care of. We enjoy Cote for it's consistency and menus, always easy to find something to enjoy. The complimentary cocktail was special too.

Very nice as always :) :) :) :) :) :)

Excellent food and service. Good ambience, helpful waiters and excellent food. Great care for coeliac dietary requirements we felt quite confident all was well prepared. Thank you.

Great food atmosphere and service as always in this cote , party of 8 all enjoyed food and drinks service great & spacious table. Recommended

This was a very satisfying experience with the Valantine’s Day menu that had been rolled over being a welcome surprise. The staff were charming and we went home happy.

Here in Esher we enjoyed a super friendly service, where the staff made us feel really important, and gave us the option of moving our table to the one near the window. We didn’t have to wait long until we received our meal, and the ambience was really homely and comforting. Food is good! Recommend Experience Thanks

Delicious rhubarb martini to start. As always great food and wonderful staff. We have never had a bad experience here.

Bit disappointed. Left for over 10 minutes when we arrived even though not that busy. Had to catch waitress eye to get noticed. Ordered , food came before any drinks, orders we both wrong, sent back and one still came back wrong! Bacon very undercooked , not impressed at all .

Excellent service thankyou. Good was lovely. The waiting staff were very attentive all in all can't fault Esher.

Always a warm welcome and a great place to eat with quality food. Early evening menu is good value with a good choice. Love the complimentary water.

The restaurant suddenly became very busy and the staff were a bit overwhelmed. However the food was good and we will certainly go back again probably next week as I think that this was a one off.

Visited for my birthday - as I adore the fillet steak. It was such a treat! Teamed with frites and a tomato salad - perfection! They went out of their way to sing me happy birthday - which my friend deemed "mandatory". Would recommend.

Very enjoyable. Good food. Good service. A busy night but we didn’t get forgotten between courses. Will definitely book again and recommend to friends. Many thanks.

Excellent service. Attentive and sincere. Food really good too. Well presented, full of flavour and perfectly cooked.
