Great service and consistently good food. Thanks for the birthday kir royale, a nice touch. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Pleasant place to eat, plenty of space and not too noisy. Usually, as it was yesterday, a relaxing experience to spend with family and friends.
A very meal discreetly served and cooked beautifully. My friends enjoyed their steak and lamb. Lovely vegetables.
Good quality but small portions. Attentive service and a good menu but left still feeling hungry. Atmosphere was good and it was quiet and a good choice of tables available when I dined with my partner. Shame to go somewhere to eat and leave feeling unsatisfied
This is not the first time we have been here, but it was not the best meal or service. We both had the duck from the mother's Day menu. One looked fresh and juicy and the other was over cooked and dry. The waiter did not seem very interested in his job and was coughing and sneezing throughout the service. Not ideal with food around. We will not be put off by this one bad experience,but if it happens again?
Fantastic meal - excellent food and service especially Daniella who was very helpful. Menu qas very good but would like to see aome new options on desserts!
Great service and fantastic staff. Food was excellent and recommended
An excellent evening with friends and a very good meal off the new weekday set menu. Your rib eye steaks are terrific - and the welcome we received from the team in Esher was friendly, professional and much appreciated.
It was an excellent meal, with lovely service and delicious food!
Consistently nice. Girls night out and we all enjoyed our meal and thought the service was good.
The Food was delicious. Service excellent but we find it a bit noisy in the ESHER restaurant but we will definitely be regular customers there.
Very nice to meet the new manager who took care of us. Would have been nce if my wife's expresso coffee had arrived at the same time as my dessert as I was not having coffee and she not having a dessert.
Just the right combination of courses for a light lunch. Not too pricey and good service. House wine is very drinkable too. Will be back soon with friends.
We booked for breakfast online. We had the set breakfast, there was a good choice available, nice ambiance and the staff lovely. Definitely worth a visit!
A perfect evening with friends. Wonderful relaxed meal, delicious food and wine and attentive staff. Despite starting our meal late we were not rushed. Great value
Excellent food very well presented and the early menu is very good value. The staff were charming and polite, The only faintly negative point was that the restaurant was, not surprisingly, very full and the staff were struggling to cope. Service was when it arrived very good but a little bit slow for this reason the staff were hard pressed and were clearly doing their best to cope. I will certainly return on a regular basis.
Great service, great food and reasonably priced with a relaxing atmosphere for a Sunday...
Excellent meal this evening. Good food and attentive staff. It restored our faith in Cote Esher after a very poor meal in January. Thank you
Consistent and reliable venue. Good food and great value. The variation between different branches of this chain never fails to amaze.
A lovely birthday breakfast - the staff were lovely to my daughter and her friends.
Food great, but service a bit slow tonight, but we'll be back, possibly because Easter Saturday is a quiet night and not a lot of diners expected.
Excellent food and excellent service especially enjoyed the rhubarb martinis and the crab mayonnaise
Very enjoyable as always. Good value and service. No complaints will come again
Food and service were excellent, however we were seated right next to the area where the staff prepare the hot drinks etc. and the noise was very loud at times especially when they were re-stocking the crockery. Will ask to be seated elsewhere in future.
Really lovely experience - the salmon starter was a winner Food wonderful and staff very helpful and attentive Can’t wait to return some time soon .
Had the mussels which I have had loads of times. Supposed to be in white wine cram and garlic sauce. They appeared to have missed out on the cream. It was so watery, inedible! . A few bad mussels as well. Pointed this out but no replacement offered.
It is Bistro dining of a high standard. There are many eating places in Esher but Cote is the best! I have never been disappointed.

Excellent food and ambience as usual, but service slower than usual. A dessert menu was brought to us after a delay, and then it was 15 minutes before I caught the waitress's eye. We had been forgotten.
Lovely evening and great food at very reasonable price. Waitress was very attentive.
First time at this Côte and enjoyed it! Food was great and so was the service! I’m a loyal customer and visit lots of restaurants and always enjoy the experience! Some speciality wines would not go a miss.
We have been going to Cote Esher for years - we think of it as our 'regular' place - must go at least once a month since it opened. My wife's special delight is to finish the meal with your Creme Brulee - how sad when we went last night the restaurant had run out !!!!
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?
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Excellent lunchtime meal & service. Loved the pissaladière as a starter. Good value for money. Also enjoyed the tarte aux mirabelles & cinnamon ice cream
First class service with usual high standard of cuisine. One of the best restaurant group of its type. Use their chain regularly and always of a high standard.
Lindsay our server was fantastic really made the evening, fun to talk to and excellent service. The food for me was a bit salty, I had the risotto and I could crunch the Malden sea salt flakes in each bite which I would have preferred not to but otherwise the food is good.

There was a dead fly in one of our meals. The restaurant comped that meal and a £3 soft drink but this was unsatisfactory. A shame as we have often been before but this puts us off going again.
