Service excellent and food really good. Our waiter was very attentive without being annoying and we had an overall enjoyable experience. There was a crying child on the next table which was frustrating but appreciate that this was not the restaurants fault. I felt the meal was good value for money.

After the Theatre my son kindly took me to Cote in Sevenoaks. The food was delicious and all the staff very friendly and welcoming. I recently moved to Sevenoaks from Hove recently where I was a good customer of Cote in Brighton. I think dinner (early or late) at Cote will be a must when I have a theatre night or indeed sometimes lunch or brunch. Thank you, Gwendoline

We were halfway through our starters when our fish main course arrived. When we sent it back the waiter said she would keep it warm for us....?the manager tried to imply that you always serve the fish main course with the starters???when it arrived again we were told it was freshly cooked but it wasn’t- overdone and the original fish hoping we wouldn’t notice.

Excellent service and excellent food. Came here to celebrate my BBC Radio 3 debut and mine and my mum's birthdays. We were even treated to a complimentary glass of sparkling rosé wine, which was lovely. Lovely atmosphere. Can't wait to return! X

Cote in Sevenoaks is consistently good, excellent food and service. Would highly recommend it to anyone. There are not many chain restaurants that you can say that about.

We had a table for eight. Different main courses were ordered, and all arrived together. The food was excellent, as demonstrated by completely empty plates! The service was speedy and efficient, and the staff friendly and helpful. It was a very jolly and happy occasion. Undoubtedly we will be returning on another occasion.

Delightful meal and service. We always like Cote as it serves food that is good quality and there is an excellent veggie menu as well as general menu. The wine is good and the Meteor lager I love. We will return.

My wife had a minute steak and chips, we unfortunately forgot to ask for it well done, the staff kindly took it back and return with a fresh order of chips as well. I had the Mussels unfortunately the quantity has reduced and the sauce had no flavour. I also had a bottled beer which I had not completely poured into my glass, unfortunately while I was using the facilities the waitress cleared the empty glasses and bottle that still contained beer. As always the Crème Brule was perfect!

I have never written a negative review about Cote but last night's experience, whilst not dreadful, was very mediocre. Despite having booked a table in advance, we were shown to the back of the restaurant to a table where a more 'normally' proportioned couple (we are very small in stature and slight) would have struggled to be accommodated. Co-incidentally - or should that read 'interestingly' - most of we grey haired diners were seated out of sight at the back of the restaurant. The service - normally friendly and prompt - was slow and rather brusque which may have been due in part to our server having a number of tables to attend to. At the end of the meal after a reasonable wait, with no one about to take our payment, we left our money on the table and walked out - no one came to take the money and there was no one front of house to thank us for our custom and wish us goodnight. For the first time I chose to eat from the prestige menu. The choice may have been wider than the normal set menu but the portions were small (one tiny sliver of a fillet of seabass) - so not, in my opinion, worth the extra money. My partner's chicken fillet from the standard set menu was okay, if a little dry but at least it was a reasonably sized plate of food. I hope this was just an 'off night' for Sevenoaks Cote but at a time when restaurant chains are fighting for custom, last night proved that there are some issues that need addressing. I used to recommend Cote unreservedly for its good value food, pleasant ambiance and prompt service but given last night's experience, I shall be more hesitant to do so in future.

The food..... I had the prawns followed by the lamb and the Creme Caramel was (as I tell everyone) the best! The service was excellent with friendly and efficient staff. The atmosphere was just right whether it was a quiet dinner or a birthday party (there were a few going on) and the tables were nicely spaced. I am new to Sevenoaks but went often to Cote in Brighton. I was my son’s guest last Friday evening and my visit to Cote was delightful.Thank you, Gwendoline A

The negroni aperitifs were disgusting but our goats cheese salad and smoked salmon starters amazing followed by our mouth watering fillet steaks cooked exactly to our liking and complimented by a fine French red wine with great service in one of our favourite Sevenoaks restaurants! Thank you for a great night!

Thank you for your request for some feedback on our recent experience at Côte Sevenoaks. My wife and I dined there on the evening of the 15th Feb 2019. We have been regular diners at both the Sevenoaks and Chislehurst Côtes and in the past, have been very pleased with our meals However, our meal last Friday was big disappointment. The starters were nice, Crab Mayonnaise and Steak Tartare. My wife ordered the Half Chargrilled Poulet ‘Breton’ and I the Roast duck breast. The Chicken arrived looking very anaemic, with pale skin and without the garlic butter. We brought this to the attention of the waiter who brought the butter and put it on the chicken. The chicken was so cold that the butter did not melt at all. On cutting into the meat it was clear that the chicken was not properly cooked, it was still blood red inside. We spoke to the waiter about it who said he would replace it. He explained that the Breton Chicken was first cooked in stock and then grilled and that my wife’s chicken had probably been at the end/bottom of the batch. Having thought about it my wife could not face the thought of another chicken and she decline to have it replaced. The table next to ours also ordered the chicken and theirs arrived with a crispy skin and grill marks (looking much as the one on your website). Looking back on it we don’t think that my wife’s chicken had been grilled at all. The Roast Duck breast was also a disappointment – I have had it in the past and it has arrived with nice crispy skin and looked like it had been carved from a full duck breast. This time I was served what I can only describe as round medallions of duck, no crispy skin. It was a poor imitation of the dish shown on your website. To be fair we were offered a discount against our bill, we were not charged for the Chicken or the drinks (not such a great offer for my wife as she was the designated driver and on water – but I enjoyed my beers and G&T). Service was also a little lacklustre. In the past, we have had one consistent waiter/waitress. This time we had a succession of different people looking after us.

We had a good dinner and up to the usual Cote standards. The staff were very attentive to the dairy intolerance of my wife and took great care with her food. They even adapted the fougasse to have olive oil instead of butter-actually we thought it better than the normal version. The staff were cheerful and efficient.

Really like Cote, good food, nice atmosphere, a good, full gluten free menu too. Would be good if could add in some vegan options, since not having those stops us coming with some friends.

Excellent lunch menu. I had the roasted cod with ratatouille, which was a delicious combination. A fine glass of Sancerre to accompany the meal was a wise choice. I finished with a really excellent creme caramel, which was full of flavour and light and creamy. I couldn't have wished for more

Really excellent evening. We began with the gin cocktail - which was very refreshing and a good strength. This was foc as we had a full price main course.We thought the service was excellent and both our main courses were cooked to perfection. We especially came to dine at Cote Brasserie as I had noticed that you were serving Crepe Grand Marnier and I just love this - we both had this desert and it was fab.
