Good service, excellent food and a relaxed atmosphere. The waitress was conscious of our timing and never tried to rush anything. The sauvignon blanc wine was outstanding.

Slightly protracted booking process-got there in the end. Left hand/right hand scenario. Despite pre ordering, starters were over 30 minutes to arrive. Generally a little too slow in service but good food and an enjoyable evening. Suggest if you want to cater for larger parties then provide a limited menu to improve speed of service. Price inclusive of 12.5%-always a bug-bear, especially on top of drinks, making a £22.95 bottle actually costing £25.80!!

Absolutely amazing service, there were 14 of us and the manager was very helpful and gave us a superb free cocktail for the whole party to celebrate my brother in laws birthday, definitely a 'yes' resturant! ☺

'Proper' restaurant refreshingly free of muzak and other nonsenses. Comfortable, clean, friendly. Food was fine - except the potato extra accompanying the fish dish which was soggy and luke warm and obviously from freezer to micro. Only reliable restaurant in Lewes for people who want a nice meal. The free bottle of (very good) wine was much enjoyed.

Beautiful warm cosy decor and soft lighting. Friendly welcome and very good waitress service. Varied menu. I had french onion soup which was piping hot and very tasty followed by lamb with vegetables, creamy mash and a gorgeous rich sauce. A very enjoyable evening and now my new favourite lewes restaurant. Will definitely be back.

I’m a regular visitor to cote but last two visits service has been disappointingly slow; today we had to wait too long before we found someone who would take our order for a bottle of wine. Restaurant seemed busy at 215; do they have enough staff? Food came quickly and was good but another too long wait and asked two people to bring bill. Felt let down.

Sadly I ordered Haddock for main course which was very dry and the skin couldn't be taken off. It was disappointing as I have had much better fish from you before.

We enjoyed our meal and the venue (Lewes). The service was very good. We started with the enormous chicken liver pate which was very good and some olives. We liked the green olives but didn't like the black ones. The main meals were great, nicely presented and tasty but my husband was a bit disappointed that the crackling on his belly pork was not crackling but rather soggy. We like going to this branch of Cote very much and will definitely be going again. Thanks.

We had a lovely time at Cote last evening. The menu was interesting enough, the food was well prepared and delicious, and the waiters were friendly and efficient. The prices were very fair, and we even scored a free bottle of wine by showing our copy of Viva Lewes.

We had a memorable evening. A nice quiet table in a side room. I tried to order three Kir cocktails as it was my friend's birthday and it was such a lovely surprise when they arrived as complimentary. Each course we had was excellent and we finished with a delicious sorbet and cheese board. The waitress was charming and efficient. Really impressed!
