Côte Winchester

Noisy. Limited menu. Good value with the discount but not going back.

Great food great value for money. Already booked again next month

Really well prepared steaks. Cooked perfectly and seasoned really well. Food was not as hot as it usually is but it was very busy.

Great food, fantastic service and lovely atmosphere. Whole family made to feel welcome and left very happy.

Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. Food was very delicious and service was fast but we didn’t feel rushed. Tables felt slightly too close together but not too cramped so still very comfortable. An enjoyable evening - will be returning.

Excellent three course meal for four people. Cote has never disappointed us.

Great food but have marked down because our table still had crumbs from last guests and there were crumbs on the seats.

Not as good today as usual. We were put upstairs (a 93 year old was one of my guests), the wait between the starter and main was too long and the ‘eat out to help out’ discount hadn’t been applied (until we pointed it out).

Very good and first time we had been out for months and had a lovely meal & service. Felt very comfortable with measures in place for social distancing and PPE on team. Overall had a lovely meal.

Enjoyable and safe meal. Restaurant was very noisy for a lunchtime service and it was a shame that the a la carte menu was not available. That said all food lovely and good service. Will definitely go again.

Amazing food and such a wonderful service. Thank you so much.

Excellent. Really enjoyed food, service and ambience. We will be back.

A lovely. meal and courteous staff - our first visit to a restaurant post-Covid19

Great evening. Busy, enjoyable atmosphere, nice table, plenty of space, well looked after, good food, excellent value for money.

Great service and food delicious and no delay in serving

Lovely brunch. Attentive polite staff. Fantastic breakfast, nice and hot, good coffee and not too expensive. Lovely to be back...

Outstanding, very well organized, staff masked, and tables well distanced. Food excellent as always and atmosphere still the lovely old Cote's buzz, if a little quieter. A real pleasure to be back and enjoying such great food and service.

Really good. Very friendly, attentive staff. Great food, as always. Asked to move table and manager very polite and accommodating. Appreciate the effort spent finding us something more suitable. Hopefully the more extensive menu of old can come back soon. Look forward to next visit.

Excellent lunch, food and service great as always, glad you’re back open

Excellent service and great food, would recommend. Thanks for a brilliant meal and time.

Quite a bit on the menu was not available but we staff were fantastic

We were greeted at the door, hand gel was available throughout. Staff were friendly and attentive, couldn’t have asked for more. The food was great too. Loved it and so glad to be able to dine out again 😊

Welcoming, friendly, practical, lovely food, great service and safe. Thank you

Very good meal and service, thank you. Felt Covid-wise a bit unsafe due to tables being quite close together.

Although we arrived early for our meal, we only had a very small wait for our table. Staff were lovely. Very kind and attentive.

First time at this restaurant, do not think we will be going back. I had checked that we wouldn’t be seated up stairs as one of our party is disabled with walking difficulties. We had not appreciated how many stairs on the the ground floor to reach our table.

Sadly, not a great experience and I do appreciate that things aren’t ‘normal’ however we were initially sat next to the bar and our heads were directly next to were they put utensils/ plates so we asked to move once we saw someone leave, no problem. It did take a fair time to serve us and in fact the people who arrived and sat in our first sit were serve and delivered food before us again this was not a huge issue. We ordered olives which were served with our starter, my husbands calamari was chewy and he couldn’t eat it, the walnuts on my salad were burnt and bitter. The waiter kindly sorter this out and took the calamari off our bill. Sadly though my salmon for main course was slushy. I feel the food was sub standard and I know they did do 450, and the staff are lovely but we are saddened that our fav place let us down.

Really relaxed atmosphere. Staff are extremely efficient , welcoming and polite. Food was excellent. The menu gives enough choice without being too varied, , so that quality is compromised. The best Creme Caramel we have ever tasted.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Service on the slow side. Good value.

Delicious, delightful & our sever was Dam right divine 💙

Excellent service really attentive, friendly s day professional. Food also very good. Creme caramel super.

Really pleasant staff and tasty food! Felt well spaced and safe!

Really nice lunch out. It was a bit noisy but it was extremely busy. The food was amazing the only real let down was the table hadn’t been properly cleaned so I ended up with a stain on my shirt when I lent against it ( I know it is a small thing but extremely annoying)

We had a lovely meal , we felt very safe , the staff were very friendly and the food and service was excellent, We would recommend a visit . Thank you Cote of Winchester

Good service and delicious food in convivial surroundings.A happy evening.

Lovely food at a great price. Staff are always excellent- nothing too much trouble even though they were busy. Good to see staff in masks. They weren’t all wearing them in Rick Stein’s last week.

We had friendly service and good presentation of courses but it was rushed. We were very disappointed with the choice and quality of produce. Cote had quite a few items not available or no longer off the menu such as Breton stew, and there was no Seabream. The calamari was greasy and the fresh Tuna had no taste at all; was it frozen?. One Breton chicken was Undercooked and the other one was dry. Sauce ordered was incorrect and did t arrive until half way through the main course. Cote is one of our go to restaurants. I’m not sure we will return for some time,

Staff were very friendly and attentive Enjoyed the steak but my wife didn’t eat her main course the burger she found was tasty at all was bland Apart from that enjoyable evening

As a pre Covid regular it was a delight to have my first post easing of lockdown lunch. The staff remember me (and my wine preference plus that I like ice on the side) 😁🥂👍 The ambiance, food and staff are, to my mind, the best in Winchester and I’m made to feel like a valued and special customer.

Great dining room and service. Starter of squid was excellent. Frites very good, but the rib eye steak accompanying them was less so. Well cooked, but very ordinary beef. Bearnaise sauce horrible.
