Lovely meal at Côte Esher. Great service by lovely staff who were so welcoming and looked after us beautifully. Food was really good and menu had lots of favourites.
The staff are amazing. Shame to be over charged on the bill for a desert we didn't order and was brought out as a birthday surprise. The set menu great value the egg walnut bacon salad was piled up way too much. The steak was perfect the chips were slightly under fried and my side of beans were so over cooked they looked opague reminded me of school dinners
We love dining at Esher Cote. Great food and wine, good service, as always.
I LOVE Cote. Everything is right about it and that’s why I chose to have a birthday meal there. However something interesting happened over desert. I rather fancied the cheese platter which I have had a few times before, so duly ordered it. However when it arrived this was the conversation that ensued with the lovely waitress; Us - nice selection of cheeses, aren’t there usually some crackers or biscuits to accompany it? Waitress - No, it’s just cheese Us - that’s a bit weird, loads of cheese on its own and nothing to eat it with? Waitress - That’s how the french have it Us - but seriously, nothing to eat cheese with? I’ve had this desert in other Cote’s and I’m sure it comes with some kind of cracker? Waitress - No, definitely just Cheese, I’ll check with the manager. Us - this is crazy, JUST cheese on its own and no accompaniment?? Waitress - yeah lots of people have said the same thing Us - and???? So you see, we are a little perplexed. Perhaps someone from head office could let me know if we were being crazy or if that is the norm nowaday?
Very pleasant meal. Menu was somewhat limited for me, especially the starters as I cannot eat shellfish. Very attentive service from staff. Would definitely return nevertheless.
We love cote, especially Esher One waitress in particular who has been there a while now is great and her level of service is fantastic (wish I knew her name!)
Excellent friendly service as usual and great quality and good value meal.
I am finding more and more when I visit the Cote venues that there is a consistency with quality of service and food and ambiance. Very kind and well trained staff and front of house management. Food reminds me of the way Michelin started restaurants were in France 25 years ago but without the fussy attitude. Well done and keep this standards up!
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
As usual service and food were to a high standard.
Excellent service, delicious food and wine. We asked for a quiet table and it was. Such a change from the ghastly noise levels e perienxed in all popular restaurants. I love Cote it never disappoints.
Good food and the waiter was very pleasant and chatty making it feel very comfortable evening for us all. Thanks again Cotes Esher for a lovely birthday meal.
The staff are great, very attentive. I think the food is okay. It does lack a little depth. For example, I had the fish stew and was pleasant but not something you couldn't make at home - my scale of what you would expect. Lamb was okay but not seared. All the things that take time to do and give the extra flavour. It is a great family restaurant and caters for everyone really.
We had a very enjoyable meal at Cote. We really appreciated the complimentary Bellini’s in celebration of our anniversary. The food was really lovely - we especially enjoyed our main courses - and well priced. The service was fantastic and we did not feel rushed at all. The staff were very conscientious and polite. Overall we had a really great time! Thank you.
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.
Don't know what to say ... met up with friends everything was perfect, as usual in all Cote restaurants I visit, but Esher is my favourite.

Great waiter named Aidan Very attentive. Best waiter so far over the years!! Pls cook green beans al dente. Only criticism an extra bottle of wine added to the bill but this was quickly rectified
Everything it was amazing, Cristobal he was wonderful. We recommend this place We enjoyed it a lot there. The prawns they were really good .
Very good food and service ... Will definitely come back again :).. Will definitely recommend to family, friends and colleagues. Keep up the hard work :).
A very meal discreetly served and cooked beautifully. My friends enjoyed their steak and lamb. Lovely vegetables.
Delicious meal. Amazing rhubarb cocktail. Great service by all the team, thank you.
Good food, but they wouldn’t amend anything on the menu for us. Definitely worth checking out with a small group or friends. Great seating outside or inside!
We had a tasty lunch today. The service was friendly and the food excellent. The price is reasonable too. We will be back! Thank you!
Great food and great service. Delicious food cooked beautifully.
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
The tastiest scallops, delicious duck and a fantastic raspberry creme brulee together with a beautiful and yummy complimentary rhubarb martini all served by friendly and professional staff - what better way to celebrate our anniversary.
Normally a good venue for meeting friends - but this time a wrongly placed order meant that two of the group were served, while the third was served a hot side order but not his main dish. That did not arrive for almost 20 minutes As for the food, a steak was over cooked, as was a sea bream. The third was proclaimed “OK, I suppose”. Although the waitress was very apologetic, this visit was nowhere as good as usual. A great disappointment. *to cover the misorder/delay, no charge was made for a glass of wine and three coffees.

The Manager and our server Lindsay were brilliant. Very attentive and couldn't fault a thing apart from my pork belly which i nearly always have was a bit too salty. My son who is now 12 loved his Birthday experience at Cote Esher.
As regular visitors to Cote - Enjoyed our evening, good environment, good service, food could have been slightly better - one of the Fillet Steaks was under cooked, others were very dry. Also food could have been served a little warmer. Great wine
Firstly I have loved Cote asI have always considered it good value for money and great food. Wasn’t the best experience last night. It was my birthday and am on crutches so messaged the restaurant a week prior requesting a table in the window and also rang the day before to confirm. We got there and this didn’t happen. We had our menus and eventually had to ask for my two birthday offer Kir Royals..These Normally these arrive as your booking site alerts the bar I believe. We complained to the manager about the table and he apologised and offered us a free bottle of wine,which was Vernice of him.I ordered Breton Fishstew which arrived with hardly any sauce so I sent it back. My husband ordered a spinach side and it arrived in a tiny dish and contained two spoonfuls. This cost £3.95 and frankly was an insult. I know times are hard but I could have bought two bags of spinach for this amount of money. Crazy to reduce the size of your side dishes. Further to this when are you going to change your menu. I hadn’t been for a while due to health issues and apart from a special it was the same as last year. Come on Cote you can do better. If Cafe Rouge can change their menu so can you. Heather Howell
Best meal out for ages. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Pleasant and friendly staff.
Returned to spend our voucher we were given after bad experience on mother’s day. We had a much better time tonight. Lovely meal and good service. Shame side dish didn’t come out at the same time as main. Had eaten nearly half before it arrived. Didn’t spoil a nice meal. We will return.
We arrived early for our dinner at 17.40 and so we were nearly alone and got excellent service. Thta may not be the normal conditions!!
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.
Two of our main courses (steaks) were luke warm along with the french fries. The other two sword fish dishes had a strange smell and taste. My wife left most of her fish course.
Consistently nice. Girls night out and we all enjoyed our meal and thought the service was good.
Lovely relaxed dining. Yasmin our waitress made us feel very welcome and did a fab job. Thank you for another lovely evening.
The service was awful, waitress very pleasant but we had no plates, they served the wrong thing - food was very average. Overpriced for what it was. We won’t be going back.
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.
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.
Cote is a very reliable restaurant. Had a lovely meal with friends, the food and service were good as always.
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 .
Thank you for a wonderful evening. You made me feel very special for my birthday celebrations. Much appreciated the Complemetary bottle of fizz and we will be back very soon.
Very good courteous warm welcome good service & great food good value for money.
Thought about going for ages as we'd heard the 'Veggie b'fast was good'... Avocado's were rock hard (x 4 covers) and my daughter's came without a mushroom. Staff pleasant enough; took money off bill as my coffee did not arrive after a 20 minute wait. In this day and age, MUST do better!! Willing to go back and see if they were having an 'off day'...
We use Cote quite a lot and it’s normally nice but this time it was most disappointing, the duck was dry and tough, it had obviously been pre cooked and warmed through, and although it was replaced with moules it was annoying as our guest who had steak had finished his meal before we received our replacement. The bill was adjusted but we were not atall impressed as it spoiled the evening.
Very good food and excellent, friendly service. I have always liked your restaurant and look forward to my next visit there.
Friendly and excellent staff as usual - and wonderfully delicious food as always
A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thank you to our MD who was most helpful. I have an injured foot but he made sure I was comfortable.
