Côte Reigate

Three stars only because the staff were pleasant and helpful. We took advantage of the 'Eat out to Help out' on a Monday lunchtime, just as well as we would have been very upset to have paid the full Menu price! The lamb loin chops (2) were unattractive and difficult to cut the meat from, the peas were an unappetising shade of dull green. My chicken and walnut salad was very simple but just adequate, unfortunately it was served in what resembled a glass mixing bowl. Cote used to be more upmarket than this, we have been to several branches many times over 4 years but this was not the impressive lunch treat we expected. Oh, and no chocolate sprinkles on the anaemic cappuccino. Something has gone wrong here, presentation and quality are just not up to previous standards.

Excellent service and exceptionally good food and a perfect atmosphere

Just lovely to be back, lovely food and lovely staff.

So happy that you are open again , food as good as we remembered !

Great food and wine, and great service. We are glad we chose your restaurant for our first meet up with friends since February. We all felt totally safe this new normal. Thank you.

Booked on line for this lovely restaurant, service excellent, delicious food especially the crepes as recommended by our server.

Excellent food. Excellent service . Excellent value. Back with your A-game. Well done.

I thoroughly enjoyed my birthday lunch with family and friends today. The staff were lovely and friendly and we all enjoyed our food. I was given a free bottle of bubbly and a lovely chocolate desert with a candle in it. 🙂

Good to see the Cote consistent offer back after many months. Food the same quality. Management a bit distracted by process but saved by attentive/personable staff serving at table

Good food and very pleasant staff. Long delay between starter and main course which, to be fair, we hadn't experienced on previous visits. Square tables for two are very small. We shared a tomato salad as a side to accompany the main courses which meant the plates for the mains couldn't fully fit on the table!

So good to see you reopened! We had a lovely lunch, despite the current restrictions which were not obtrusive. the restaurant was quiet today, but I believe Mon-Wed was very busy because of the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme.

Excellent dinner! Friendly staff! Awesome restaurant! Really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone!

The staff were extremely friendly and obliging and the social distancing/hygiene standards were superb. Sadly, I suppose that it's because of the lockdown, that the food wasn't up to our expected standards. We've eaten before with you and been very happy. This time we decided to eat something different. I had the Cheeseburger with Reblochon cheese and my wife had the Risotto. The bread that the Cheeseburger was encased in had been frozen and was not fresh. It also tasted bland and was tough. You would only cook the Burger as Medium Well Done or Well Done which points to it being frozen too, as you refused to cook it just Medium. The taste of the Burger confirmed my suspicions as it wasn't much to speak of. As for the Reblochon cheese there was barely a teaspoon of it. Very mean. My wife's Risotto was apparently "gloopy" and stodgy. OK I understand that the lockdown has been tough, but I don't think I'll bother to eat out again until the frozen food has been used up and we can enjoy fresh food again!!

Very enjoyable lunch. Quick and efficient service. Thank you Cote.

Lovely and buzzy - plenty of knowledgeable and helpful staff. Excellent gazpacho- tender steaks - couldn’t fault

Excellent food & beautiful service and lovely , large restaurant

Incredible staff, will definitely visit this branch again very soon

Good service as always. Great food and good set up to accommodate Covid restrictions.

Much as I loved being back at Côte after so long away, I was quite disappointed with the limited menu. There is such a limited choice for vegetarians. Only one veggie main course option and nuts in two of the veggie starters (daughter has a nut allergy). It was lovely to see everyone back and hopefully thriving but would love there to be at least another couple of vegetarian choices.

Lovely meal with particular attention paid to our 11 year old for his birthday. Superb service and delicious food. So great to be back in Côte at Reigate.

Lovely lunch. The chicken and walnut salad was yummy and the risotto looked nice too. Children well catered for and friendly helpful staff. Was well spaced out and felt fresh and safe. All round good experience.

Thought i was in France for a couple of hours, but the locals understood me. The Eat out to help out caught everyone by surprise, exceptional turn out. But staff went the extra mile despite the heat and discomfort wearing their face masks. Made a lovely change from the usual takeaways.

Lovely to have Cote back open, The usual faultless service and well cooked and well presented food.

The food and service was very good! I can’t fault it. I don’t have any complaints just a suggestion. I would like to see a few pasta dishes on the menu.

Delicious food and friendly/efficient Staff. I will be back.

Lovely meal. Great service. Waiters and waitresses very attentive. One of our favourite restaurants, so glad Reigate has reopened.

Great to have one of our favourite restaurants reopen They did not let us down Everything was excellent We will be back soon

Friendly and caring staff. Good service and great food. Glad you have reopened

Wonderful to be back at Cote. As good as ever.

Only opened yesterday, but impressive standards in place. Felt very safe . Excellent service , food was delicious and with the eat out to help out the bill was very reasonable! Booked to come back on way out . Well done Cote .. great to have you back

Lovely food and friendly waitress we will be back soon

Lovely to have the team back , lovely and clean. Great friendly service

At last, Cote Reigate reopens, and how wonderful it is to be back! The restaurant was very busy with diners, the staff were doing an exceptional job and adhering to government guidelines. We were warmly welcomed by Georgi, David and Nikki, and had a lovely meal in air conditioned surroundings. Thank you so much Cote Reigate, we will be returning very soon!

Great to be back! Can’t wait for the full menu to return

Just home from Cote Reigate, first day of opening and wonderful to see all of the original team returned, well done to the Management for making this work. Delicious food, superb service in a fully booked restaurant etc, Huge thanks Georginax

First day of opening and there werea few teething problems such as no social distancing in the toilets and the chairs were not one metre apart in some locations. Other than that lovely to see Cote back. Oh and get that wine chilled for my next visit!

First time Reigate Cotes opened after lockdown. The team were very welcoming. It's lovely to be back

First day of the re-opening of the Reigate restaurant and everything was faultless. Excellent food and service as usual - it's good to be back!

Great service and fantastic food, will be back again. Thank you

It was so good to have you back open again in Reigate , food and feel of the place were excellent as always. It was our first post lockdown meal out and we were not disappointed Thank you

I couldn’t wait for Cote Reigate to re open. I am a firm fan of Cote. My experience was outstanding as per normal. Staff and service was exceptional, nothing short of exemplary.

Very good. Excellent service and the food was very nice. A great improvement on our last visit.

We enjoyed our meal very much, although it was a brief visit so we only had a main course. Great service and the ambience at Cote is always great. Would definitely recommend.

We always feel very welcome here and thoroughly enjoy the food whenever we dine here.

Hi - I would like to say first that we did enjoy our experience at cote - the flavours were excellent and the service very good and attentive. I do have a few criticisms/observations. Asparagus soup - this came out way too hot - suspect this was heated in the microwave for too long, had to be left for several minutes before it could be eaten and my partner had finished his started by the time I could eat the soup. On my partner's started - Grilled Sardines. By its description - we were expecting at least 2, perhaps 3 sardines given that the plural was used in the menu. However - what was served was one sardine - filleted and then each fillet cut into two to give 4 pieces of one single sardine. This does not qualify as grilled sardines!! It was also a small sardine - given the very thin nature of each sardine fillet. While this was very flavoursome - it did not justify the stated menu cost. We both had the chicken with Sarladaise potatoes - again very tasty - but the chicken was overcooked and tending towards dryness - a couple of minutes less would have been better. Our creme caramels were absolutely delicious and we will gladly be returning- but I doubt we will have the sardines again given the portion size. Finally - the restaurant was particularly empty at 6.45pm - so it was a little disappointing that having been given a window table with no-one close to us - a few minutes later another group were seated right next to us when they could easily have been placed at least one table away given the number of free tables - which would have given both us and them more privacy. Many thanks Anne

Excellent as always. I expected a slow service as it was Mothers Day but I was wrong. Food and Service was great. Love Cote for Breakfast and Dinner. Never had a reason to grumble about anything.

A last minute Sunday lunch booking for 3 adults. Lovely food, good service and pleasant ambiance. Always a good dining experience at Cote.

The service was fine but a little confused. Our food, although tasty, was not hot. It also arrived quite quickly, suggesting it is not cooked to order. I understand this for a busy breakfast service, but perhaps needs to be looked at. The team were polite and welcoming. We were seated by the service counter which was quite noisy. My dinner experiences here have always been much better.

Everything was very good ... food was fresh and service was excellent

Excellent service , good food and great value - I’ll be back!
