Went in for breakfast before the Brighton match, warm greeting from the staff. Food appeared to be cooked to order and very well presented. Would go again if we were in the area.

I've been to Cote restaurants before, but this was my first visit to Lewes, and I really liked the way it looked. There was plenty of room, tables were not too close together, and there was a nice open feel. The food, as always, was very good. The menus are well planned and balanced, my roasted sea bass was delicious. I will certainly be back!

As a new "Côte" the staff are doing a tremendous job in Lewes and equals the London South Bank and Charlotte Street - well done to all especially the Côte training team and marketing. Immediately felt at home and the food was just what we expected - and more! We will be back especially when there's a complimentary bottle of wine on offer! John and Joanne in Newhaven

Asked for steak to be cooked medium rare and was cooked medium well. They offered to replace but I chose not to as did not want to wait . Bill was incorrectly calculated , so had to bring this to their attention. I like the food and staff reasonably pleasant . Average experience .

Very nice meal, only comment, not much fish in the starter cod ‘fishcake’ Sorry, can’t remember it’s exact name, and chocolate sprinkles on the cappuccinos would have been appreciated, otherwise great. Service excellent.

I love the location of Côte in Lewes; it's great when a building of historic interest can be repurposed. And it's good to have a few more facilities at the top end of town. In my opinion, the coffee there is better than anywhere else in Lewes, and therefore I particularly enjoy going for breakfast. The cooked breakfast 'formule' is a very good deal.

Arrived at 6pm on a Thursday night, very pleasant reception and chose a booth towards rear of the restaurant. Had a wonderful three course meal. I had the crab mayo which was very good followed by a rare fillet with tomato salad. The steak was full of flavour and succulent. Wine choices varied and not extortionately priced. Waiter attentive but not intrusive. Not a cheap night out but the three course early bird menu looked good and will try it next time. Agree with other reviewers that service charge though discretionary should not be included in the bill.

One of the 2 main courses was poor (under-cooked, stringy tuna which left my wife nauseous). the other course -- sea bream -- was fine.
