We love Lewes Cote but the waiting time for drinks and staff attentiveness was disappointing yesterday. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and food delicious as always. Maybe they were short-staffed.

Our starters were delicious but the mains were rather disappointing. My husband had pork belly which was comprised of about 50% fat. I had the swordfish which was fine but it sat on a bed of rather bland beans. The dessert; creme caramel, however, was delicious. As usual, the service was excellent. Our main waiter was Mark.

Excellent food and wine, tried your Valentines Day matching menu which was very good ! Only small complaint was that the courses came out too quick we had not finished our white wine which was served with the starter when the main appeared with the red wine.

Four of us went for brunch. Very good food and very good service. Its difficult to fault this place. It was a bit quiet when we arrived (about 10:30) but was filling up by the time we left. Would certainly go there again.

We had a lovely lunch yesterday at Cote in Lewes to celebrate both the Birthday of my wife and her older sister. As always, the food, wine and service was 'second to none' and we had a great time. We also enjoyed the complimentary 'gin & tonics' Thank you to all the staff who made our lunch so enjoyable

'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.

Really enjoyable lunch at Cote in Lewes. Didn't know what to expect but from the moment of arrival we had friendly, helpful service. Good choice of menu including fixed price options. Food quality was very good. My only moan on the charcuterie starter was cold bread. Otherwise the Breton Fish stew was superb with a very tasty bottle of French Rose and a gorgeous Creme Carmel for dessert. The bill could have much higher in some other (un-mentioned) eating spots in Lewes. Well done Cote. We will be returning.

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.

Made to feel so welcome on entering you’re restaurant . Attentive staff , delicious food and excellent wine . Sadly when we arrived home we again found that we were charged for the complementary cocktails . We booked ahead and our cocktails were delivered promptly to our table . I hope this doesn’t happen again because to have to complain ruins our evening . We shall contact the restaurant tomorrow .

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.
