We had a wonderful meal on Wednesday at Lewes. Upon our arrival, my partner was given a glass of Winter fizz as we were celebrating his birthday. Our waitress, Miriam actually went to the same school as me and was in the year below me so it was lovely being served by her. She was attentive, gave us enough time to order and continued to smile, take the time to chat with us even though the restaurant was surprisingly busy for a Wednesday! We had the Prestige menu and as a pescatarian I was really happy with the selection - the stand out dish was the seabass with gratin potatoes. My partner had a steak and it was cooked perfectly. Overall, thank you Cote for making my partners birthday so lovely!

We had a delicious meal at Cote Brasserie in Lewes, East Sussex. With a warm welcome and an attentive waiter. Altogether a great experience for our first visit to a Cote Brasserie

Lovely Sunday lunch in relaxed but attentive surroundings. Waited a little while for our food as the restaurant was busy but quickly given olives and bread on the house when it was mentioned. Always, without fail, a lovely meal.

My husband and I met up with a good friend here as it is a midway point for us. We had a lovely time. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating and were totally charming from arrival to departure. I think the food here was better than other Cotes we have visited, although they are all very good. Also unlike other Cotes the tables were more generously spaced so we didn't feel at all cramped. We stayed much longer than planned and noticed that a few of our fellow-diners who had been there before us were also happily lingering over more wine and coffees. We enjoyed ourselves so much we have made a date to go back in the New Year! Thank you so much to everyone there for a delightful lunch.

Very noisy, unable to converse across table. Probably a problem for wait person too, who brought sparkling wine instead of sparkling water I ordered. Waited a long time for bill after requesting it.

We took a young Japanese family for a late breakfast. The 3 and 6 yr old children were very boisterous and staff coped brilliantly. Another good tourist experience for them to remember.

It was pouring rain all day and we were in need of something warm and hearty - you just can't beat Cote's onion soup and boeuf bourguignon to hit the spot. Along with the wonderful, friendly service we had the perfect evening to end a wet and windy day

Yet another lovely evening at Cote Lewes. The staff are always friendly and attentive. The only disappointment this time was that at 5:30 the boeuf bourguignon was off the menu. Will definitely visit again soon.

We wanted a table that was by the window, which was empty when we arrived. We went to sit down and was told that the table was reserved... In the past when I asked to reserve a particular table, I was told that Cote has a strictly no reserve policy and it was it was on a first come first served availability. Make your mind up Cote.....

very pleased that we were accommodated with our pram, excellent customer care. Nice menu, very well served. One thought; maybe because we are regular visitors, my grandchild says she wishes the drawing pack was changed from time to time, she is disappointed to have the same one over and over many thanks

I enjoyed everything apart from the food! I was disappointed to find that the quality of cooking had gone down markedly since I was last there a couple of years ago when I had really enjoyed the food. I believe it hadn't long been open then, so they had a good chef. I can't believe the chef is the same now. The food wasn't bad enough to be returned but it certainly wasn't what I would call good and I won't be returning.

As always the food was delicious and the staff friendly and helpful. However we had a table in the back area where they tend to seat larger groups and we could not hear Lou own conversations as it was so noisy. Next time I book I will request a table in the front area of the restaurant as it spoiled our experience.
