Really lovely evening, I requested perhaps we could have a cosy spot when I booked online as it was our anniversary and upon arriving we were sent to a nice part of the dining area and then to our surprise offered two glasses of complimentary wine, a lovely and unexpected gesture. The waiters were very attentive and friendly. Food was excellent as was the wine we chose. This is our third trip to Cote in Lewes and will be returning.

The food was excellent and the staff fabulous particularly the young scottish lass who served us. However I am very concerned about how close the seating is - Can this be complying with the Coronovirus rules. We eat out each week and this is the first time since 5 July that I have sat so close to strangers. The back of my chair was right against a strangers chair, there were no windows open or air flow. Very worrying.

We had a lovely evening enjoying my daughter's birthday. The service was excellent. However, my daughter has coeliac disease and there are no gluten free options for children. We therefore had to order her an adult meal which staff kindly accommodated but it was very expensive and they were unable to charge a child's meal price. For her pudding she had 1 scoop of sorbet which we were charged almost £5 for. In total her meal came to £20.00 whilst her friend who we took with her was able to have the child's menu.

We had such a great evening, it was my birthday and got a completely glass of pink bubbly which was so nice. Our waitress was the most happy and friendly waitress I had experienced for a long time, I wish I had taken her name as she was a real credit to your company.

We had a lovely dinner at Cote this evening. The food was delicious, especially the Ribeye steak with peppercorn. The staff were very welcoming. Our waitress, Tibor I believe her was her name, was excellent. She was smiley, friendly and very helpful. She recommended a nice dessert wine to my partner and she now has a new favourite! Nothing but good things to say about our meal and overall experience. We will be returning no doubt!

We love the dining experience. It’s different from the general ‘eat out’ options on the high street and this is what makes it so good. Cote has its own identity as you have yours.

This was our first visit since Cote Lewes reopened. We were very impressed with the distancing and sanitising measures. All staff wore full face visors. The menu was slightly reduced but still had all our favourite choices for brunch. We had a delicious meal and were very happy to be back 😊

Booking at your website was quick and efficient. First course was served quickly. After all one just has to pour gazpacho out of a bottle from the refrigerator. The second course took so long that I was going to call a policeman to see what was the hold up. For the record it was boeuf bourguignon and lobster. The lobster was so little I thought it was a prawn. And my wife said it was flavoured with oregano. Really?

Thoroughly enjoyed our first evening at the Lewes Côte. The ambiance was very pleasant, the service prompt, efficient and friendly, and the dishes we chose extremely good. The ultimate tests of any restaurant are whether you would go back yourself, or recommend to others. On both counts, affirmative.

Pleasant atmosphere, fairly good service although a bit on the slow side during the second half. We all enjoyed the food, calamari was excellent, wine selection good. My reservations are that I ordered lamb chops, frites and green beans and was mystified to find the whole lot bathed in cheese butter sauce that I knew I had not requested, been offered or had agreed to. As I had chosen to not have the potato gratin because I am allergic to cheese and dislike its taste, I felt dismayed that my whole meal tasted of cheese. I suggest that if someone is customising an order, the sauce or dressing should be explicitly discussed and it not taken for granted that the original sauce designed to go with the dish is wanted. Apart from that the lamb was perfectly cooked to medium rare, the frites and beans were fresh and excellent.
