Côte Kingston

Food was excellent and service was very good too. The goats cheese starter was especially delicious. Lovely views over the river and a good, lively atmosphere.

Food excellent Drink excellent Service excellent Will definitely visit again and again, staff friendly and could not be faulted Great food and I totally recommend

Great night out with old group friends! We were able to sit and chat all evening without being hassled to order, food, drink and service were all exemplary, as always at Côte.

Good welcome, quick high chair for baby, served child meal very promptly. All food hot tasty and delicious, and service caring and professional, also very good value.

We had a very good meal at Cote on Friday night. The food was really excellent, the wine well chosen, and the cost was reasonable. However, the service, although charming, was very, very slow! We were seated and given menus promptly, and a glass of Prosecco arrived inside of 10 minutes. However, 45 minutes later, no-one had come to take our order and our glasses were sadly dry. I had to go and find a member of staff to ask if we could order. There was a similar delay when we had finished our main courses and I had to ask about ordering desserts. When they did arrive, they were borne towards us on a tray, by a young man who then just stood there - desserts tantalisingly within our reach. We asked why he couldn't serve them to us and he told us he had to wait for someone else to serve them (someone more qualified to put bowls on a table? - surely not?!) - maybe this is what was slowing service down! Finally, it took an age to find a member of staff to ask for the bill. As I say, the staff are charming, but it is just terribly slow and the delay tipped over from being slightly amusing first time, to downright irritating the second and third times.

The service at the restaurant was actually really good, but the food was not fantastic. The mussels came dry and it took some time for the soup for it to be brought out, most of the mussels were dead and more than half empty? Too much cream, too salty and did not taste good. When the cream sauce eventually came out the mussels were all lukewarm, what there was of them anyway. However, the main course was really good, the staff did make an effort to raise their game when I told them it was under par, and the steak was a substantial improvement. Again, not perfect but much improved, the celeriac mash was a little dry and the top of it was crusty from I think where it had been waiting on a hot plate or something. The desert, which I had a chocolate fondont was excellent. All in all, I am pleased by Cote but not going to fall over myself to book again for Valentines day, however, the management did make a good effort to set the record straight and took a decent amount off my bill to make me leave happy. Good effort, but could be better. Cheers

I don't particularly like 'chain' restaurants and so was expecting an average offering at Cote Brasserie in Kingston. I was pleasantly surprised by the varied menu and quality of the food. Although I did not choose it, the lunchtime set menu seemed quite reasonably priced and offered good choices. Service was good although the time to receive our mains appeared longer than it should have been,but due to good company, we didn't really notice and didn't comment or complain. Nevertheless, our waiter apologised for what he considered to be too long a wait for our food and deducted the cost of our coffees from the bill. A good impression all round (good location on the riverside) and will definitely be going again.

Your maitre,d was very helpful in rearranging our booking from 1230 to1315. The staff cannot be faulted as they are excellent. However, I have a couple of minor criticisms. 1. The premises are too small making the noise levels almost unbearable. Buy out next door!! 2. My husband tells me that the gents loo seriously needs a modesty wall as the urinal can be seen every time the door is opened. Embarrassing for the bigger chaps. Suggestion--- switch the hinges to reverse the door. Neither of these issues will prevent us from returning on a fortnight basis as we love your food. The other two Saturdays we attend your Horsham restaurant. Regards Julie & David Slatter

Excellent lunch. We all chose from the set lunch menu and the food was delicious. The restaurant was busy but the service was good. Our waiter was lovely. We asked for ice cream with chocolate sauce which was not currently on the set menu but that was no problem and we were not charged any extra. We were celebrating an 80th birthday and we were allowed to pop in slightly early to put up a balloon and the desserts were delivered with a candle for the birthday girl by lots of singing staff and the whole restaurant joined in which was really lovely.

I visited on the evening of 13/6/17 and at lunchtime on 14/6/17. On both occasions the service (both food (long time arriving) and waiter e.g. waiting for order to be taken, plates to be taken away, dessert and coffee order to be taken) was VERY slow. Portions were not generous by any means and in fact my cherry tomato salad was pitiful. On the Tuesday evening my starter of asparagus did not arrive with the other starters and I had to ask for it. Similarly the side of French beans did not arrive with the main course and I had to ask for it. Both these items were deducted from the bill (without me asking) but something seemed to be going wrong in the kitchen. A shame as I like to take friends there to introduce them to the Cote experience and on these two occasions I was disappointed and felt let down.
