Very enjoyable evening as expected, loved the complimentary cocktail see you again soon.

Always good service and good food at a very competitive price. Kingston is our local branch and always very good. I can recommend the blackberry and apple pudding.

As always, Côte provided an excellent service and the food was of phenomenal quality. All six of us thoroughly enjoyed our food and there is no doubt that we will return in the future. Thank you to all the staff for making my birthday meal special.

On a Saturday evening the restaurant was busy and buzzy, the service was attentive and friendly and our meal was very good at this level of cuisine and reasonably good value. We really enjoyed our evening

Great food, friendly and professional service, wonderful ambiance. A good selection of interesting dishes, well presented and sensible portions. You always know that a visit to Cote will not disappoint.

Excellent as always and very accommodating of a baby - thanks!

I am close to awarding *****. Being picky, our waiter went off shift half way through our meal; not a big deal and he deserved his break but being harsh, it takes away top billing. The food was excellent and the service so professional. The staff share the 12.5% service charge and this is much deserved. By far the best restaurant "chain" food available.

My family and myself only go to Cote’s when we go to Kingston.The food and service always the same it doesn’t alter. The staff are SUPER

Shame the succulent looking lamb chops were as tough as old boots. The complimentary rhubarb martinis were strewn with inedible rose petals making the cocktail very difficult to drink. Such a shame.

Was really good great service & food food was hot didnt have wait very long between courses staff was helpful & friendly good value for money

Amazing food and service, pretty good value. Staff are very happy to help and always making sure you are happy with your food and drinks. Thank you

Great food. But free cocktails were underwhelming. . . Tiny and with no discernable gin!

Just what I expect from Côte. Efficient friendly service and good value well cooked food. Even during a relatively quiet time - we ate at 5pm - the restaurant had a nice ambience despite the music being somewhat soporific.

We arrived very early for our reservation. This was not a problem, the manager showed us to a table and he was was helpful and friendly, along with all the staff, who all had smiles on their faces and were very attentive. Food was excellent and a good price, in particular the house red.

Had lunch here with friends. Waitresses were lovely and could not do more for us. Food was well cooked and tasted as food should. This is now my favourite restaurant.

Excellent food, service & atmosphere, as usual. Very professional & helpful staff

Excellent food and service as always, great value for money

My starter, Bake Crottin, was delicious; but the disappointment came with the main dish, a Rlbeye steak, which should have been medium-well done. Unfortunately it was served as medium with average meat quality about what I complained as it wasn’t what I ordered. I was than simply told by the serving young lady this stake was medium-well done as the cook told her so. In short: Disappointing service and average steak quality.

Appalling! Cold, unfriendly, unengaging, robotic staff. Starters ok although I could not taste the crab in the crab mayonnaise. However both main courses, chicken and sea bass, were over cooked, dried out and looked like they had been kept warm for ages. Side of peas was cold. Never again!

All three of us really enjoyed our meal. The waitress looking after us was in training and looked after us very well! Staff polite and helpful. We would all return

I thoroughly appreciated the policy whereby a manager takes the order of a person with allergies. It means a lot to feel safe! Great food too.

Usually my favourite Cote, Food as always good, but found the service pretty poor today. Waited for ages before even being offered the ‘complementary water’ Had to flag down a waitress to order a drink. Plenty of staff, but not particularly attentive. Apparently now on warm days you have to wait at the front of the restaurant to be seated rather than going inside even if you don’t want to sit outside! All very odd, but what was even more bizarre was the attitude of the man who was in charge of seating. He was virtually frog marching people (who had dared to walk into the restaurant) back to the front! And was really quite off hand if anyone questioned him. Surely what would be better is to have a sign out front that says ‘Please wait here to be seated’ ?? Not my best Cote visit.

Average, plates very hot but food wasn't especially hot. Reasonable value for money. Wouldn't be in a rush to go back as it wasn't very memorable, but I guess that's typical of a restaurant chain. It was pretty noisy, would be better with some consideration to sound absorbing materials.

I dine regularly at Côte but today’s meal was very poor quality. Starter baby gem salad with egg and lardons- lardons were extremely hard. The main(COD with ratatouille) was very overcooked and fish extraordinarily small

The food is always great, however when we went on mother's Day my wife's fillet steak looked rather small in comparison to my Mum's. We politely enquired if it looked right and the manager/maitre d' advised (he was quite brusque) all steaks are 7oz and that because the steak is well done it had shrunk. However, when my wife cut into the steak it was only medium (she'd asked for well done) so I'm not sure this argument stacks up. We decided not to bother sending it back as it was mother's Day and getting another would take time and put a dampener on the evening. In my opinion the maitre d'/manager should have asked if my wife was happy and asked if she wanted to send it back, he gave neither option, he simply made a statement of fact that the steak is 7oz, hence why service is only marked as average. Other than that we had a lovely meal.

Nice restaurant by the river, the food was good and the service was great.

Great food, great service and very reasonably priced. I love eating at all of the Cotes restaurants as they always deliver on all of the above.

My husband and I are regular diners at Cote in Kingston. The service is impecable and we always feel welcome. The food is delicious and well presented. We feel comfortable being there, we are never rushed and the waiting time is just right.

Excellent meal, good service, very pleasant atmosphere, good value.will come back. All 4 of us enjoyed it very much

Normally Cote in Kingston is very good and we eat there regularly. However today was the exception. The starters were good but the first main I ordered was the asparagus risotto which could only be described as wet slop with no flavour. After sending this back and ordering the chicken and walnut salad which is meant to come with an assortment of other vegetables, I received a bowl of lettuce and chicken with the smallest amount of dressing you’ve ever seen. I sent that back and asked for both dishes to be removed from the bill. Very disappointing.

Very long waiting times. Kids meals we ordered were overcooked - sausages were burned. But overall OK.

Consistently good food and attentive service. Great for coeliacs too

We always have a great experience dining at Cote in Kingston. The team are very professional, attentive and friendly. I enjoyed the Crab Bisque - special and hope that makes it to the main menu. I also adore the baked goats cheese starter so that would also be good to have on a regular basis. Thank you too for the complimentary cocktails - very much appreciated.

The complete experience was first class, from the moment we arrived until we left, my wife and I were treated like valued customers. One aspect in particular to mention is that higher priced wines were available by the glass.

A lovely and thanks to Alex and all the staff who looked after us so well! A fabulous meal in the glorious sunshine. We will be back soon.

Very pleasant waitress, delightful rhubarb martini, delicious bread, food very good generally, a delightful evening with friends. Only tiny detraction from the ( very high) standard I have come to rely on from Cote, my minute steak was a little over cooked ( not pink as promised) and my frites a little flabby, as if they had been kept warm...shame because I usually love the minute steak at Cote. Everything else was variously delicious, and Cote remains one of my go to restaurants for meetings friends.

Really good food, well served and a happy ambience. Cost very reasonable for 2 or 3 courses for our group of four. We’ve all been visiting Cote for many years and the quality remains extremely high.

Pleasantly welcomed, although we were early. Quiet, but it busied up. Solicitous service commenced with a thoroughly quechable (?) and refreshing gin cocktail to celebrate March, gratis! I enjoyed my simple choice of courses -Roquefort salad and steak frites, but could still cast an envious eye across the table at a grilled Breton chicken. Good choice, too!

We are regular visitors to Cote Kingston and as always the food and service were exceptional. The restaurant is always busy but because unlike many restaurants they have plenty of waiting staff, service is fast and the food is very well presented. The addition of the “men in black” who bring the food from the kitchen add more to the speed and efficiency of the service and set the restaurant apart from their competitors.

Lovely experience as always. The cocktail of the month was refreshing and beautifully presented. As very busy it was a little noisier than usual. Good value for money.

Excellent and efficient service, perfect food, pleasant atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The service was also well paced for a Saturday evening. We will definitely return.

Complimentary rhubarb martini was delicious! Too much lettuce in goats cheese salad and not enough goats cheese?!

We love Cote but today was disappointing to say the least . Not only was the service slow, but the main course was not up to the usual standard. We ordered the Beuf en Croute . The portion size was small and whilst there was plenty of puff pastry the filling was non existent with 3 small pieces of shin beef and 2 tiny pieces of chopped carrot! The food was not hot either ! (We did order extra sides) I suggest that you take this off your menu rotation !

Very nice service, good food and decent value. Only problem was no chicken goujons or pasta (obvs) for picky eater child. But no proper complaints.

Sorry to have to say but it was the worst experience I’ve had at Côte, had to wait what seemed like ages for someone to serve us. Also I was looking forward to my main meal of Pork Belly with its crispy cracklings but it was all rubbery fat.

Food was delicious and service was very friendly. Highly recommend the steak. Would go to this branch again and again. Thanks Cote Kingston for a wondefull afternoon.

Great venue and excellent food & service.we will visit this venue again.

The food is always delicious , with a good ,varied menu . I like the fact that often there are Special cocktails or drinks , on the house ! The staff are very attentive & charming !

Service and food were great - just what we needed! The restaurant was busy and bustling and had a great atmosphere. We will definitely go again.

As usual the restaurant was buzzing despite it being a Monday. Service was good and the food was well up to its usual high standard.
