A lovely venue with attentive, friendly staff. The food was very good. Only criticism was that we had to ask for the green beans that we'd ordered and my husband was dissapointed that they had run out of the lamb shank . Good value for money and we will definitely be going there again.

A pleasant experience overall, and the food was great. We noticed the prices have increases since we last visited, which may reflect that the business is good.

I quite like Cóte, but feel a bit disappointed today. We had to wait ages to for our food, and when it did arrive I felt the portion sizes were quite erratic. 3 out of 5 were a good portion size, but 2 were absoluely tiny. It’s not the cheapest of restaurants and makes you feel cheated (and hungry)

This item is very annoying and needs to stop requiring 25 words, when all I wish to say is that both food and service are always excellent.

Excellent meal and service the selection on the Prestige set menu is really good and far better than most other set menus in other restaurants. We had mentioned when booking it was our wedding anniversary and the waiter arrived with complimentary Kir Royales for us which was lovely. Would highly recommend Cote Lewes for a meal.

Busy with good atmosphere. Food consistent in presentation and taste. I have mentioned a few times that it seems to have lost the brilliant customer service that was there at the outset but it is still pretty good (but with 12.5% added to your bill I guess it should be). Had to get up from our seats twice to ask for drinks.

The food was tasty and the service was excellent, we had the premium set lunch salmon and then creme caramel - good value for money. Many thanks

A spontaneous decision to have lunch turned out brilliantly. We went for a simple selection of minute steaks followed by creme caramels. Simple, yes, but the food was spot on. Well judged steaks, crispy fries. Creme just the right consistency. Darkly sweet caramel. And charming service. Sometimes things really hit the mark and leave you with a smile on your face. This was one of those times.

We really enjoyed our food but it did take way too long to arrive, the restaurant wasn't paticularly busy so I think our order got misplaced. However, our waitress came over to apologise and told us we would not be charged for our two large glasses of wine, which was much appreciated. I think Cote Lewes offer an excellent level of service and we will be returning.

It was Father’s Day we expected it to be pretty busy and we reserved a table on the day. We were placed at the furthest part of the restaurant which was fine but we found the service to be polite but quite slow. I chose Steak Frites I have tried it in many places and I think Cotes is consistently the very best, overall a pleasant experience

This was my first visit, and I chose Cote Brasserie after reading reviews on line. I was looking for a place to have brunch before going on to Plumpton races with my husband, sister and brother. We all chose something different from the menu and we all were delighted with our food. The variety of cooked breakfast is excellent and you also get juice and a hot drink of your choice with it for under £11. The restaurant is very nicely laid out , and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff members were all very welcoming and friendly and I will definitely be returning and recommending to my friends and family.

The service was incredibly slow. It took 25 minutes for our order to be taken and we had to find a waiter to do it. The food took a long time to come through. We arrived at 13:20, had 2 courses and I had to leave just as I completed my main course at 14:40.

We received a very warm welcome and that warmth remained during our whole stay. The restaurant was extremely busy - it was Mother's Day - but the service and quality of food was not affected by that in the slightest. We enjoyed our brunch at a very leisurely pace and there was no hassling to get the table back for lunch. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.
