A little disappointed this time. Two of the wines my wife enjoys from the wine list they didn’t have. My chicken was very dry and the portions seemed smaller but the final bill higher.

Good service courteous staff but food very disappointing. The lobster had to be sent back because it was extremely dry and there was hardly any meat in the claws. The second one wasn’t much better. We felt it had been cooked earlier and then reheated. The chicken was also dry but marginally better. Not up to previous standards prior to lockdown. Hopefully it was a one off as we generally enjoy our meals at Cote. However the staff were very obliging and we got a reduction in the bill.

Lovely staff, the food was somewhat disappointing,, my burger was well cooked but the bacon was too crispy and salsa was overwhelming. Question why so many chocolate desserts?

Excellent meal & service. The only reason you have 5 stars instead of 6 is that apart from staff visors there was no evidence of Covid19 precautions. No tables were sprayed while we were there (we were the last out) but they were all relaid. Credit cards were taken by the server instead of the customer inserting the card in the server held machine. If nothing else visual evidence that cleaning precautions are being taken builds customer confidence.

Your staff are excellent, charming and efficient and your creme caramel is one of the most delicious desserts on the planet but oh how the starters and main courses let you down. If only you had proper chefs who cooked from scratch instead of it mostly being sent almost oven ready from a main source. This is why I am only giving you 4 stars

So good to be back at Cote. Reassuring COVID-19 safety measures in place alongside the usual polite and efficient service. Some delicious menu options as well as the old favourites. The restaurant was full (with customers waiting) on the Saturday night we visited so I hope that was a sign of a well-deserved return to the new normality for Cote.

I am very happy that Lewes Cote is open again, and in time for my birthday. 5 of us celebrated and the meal was delicious as usual; all the more so with the Govt's Eat Out discount. As for Covid precautions, we were pleased that all staff wore visors & my details were taken for track & trace. However, we were surprised that there appeared to be no reduction in number of tables, & although bookings are capped at 6 people, there was not even a metre between diners.
