We love Cote and are very pleased you are now open. We sat outside as the weather was lovely but it was very hot with seagulls hovering over us. You do need to invest in umbrellas as most other restaurants with outdoor space do. Very necessary by the sea. We could have moved mid meal but chose not too. Please provide umbrellas. Thank you Patricia.

Great set of staff who work hard to make you feel comfortable in the current environment and always, always produce super food at a reasonable price for the quality. Cote never disappoints.

Lovely staff very friendly and helpful . Shame not many vegetarian dishes . We had the risotto which was fabulous. We don’t like strong goats cheese, so could not have this, and these where the only vegetarian dishes on the menu . The back garden was a real sun trap .

Glad you are back. Friendly warm welcome, procedures explained, waiter helpful. Only thing that could’ve been better Is staff using ‘hello my name is.....’ which is what we go in NHS as creates Warner experience. Keep doing what you are doing?

Fabulous food and service as usual. Had the complimentary blood orange martinis, my mum wasn’t keen on this drink, the manager said try a sip and if you don’t like have a kit royal instead. This extra mile of service was much appreciated. Well done and thank you.

Food of good standard but not enough of it.poor selection of beers . Ridiculously priced three bottles equalling a pint that would set you back £12.00. We are in South of England not France. Apart nice venue.

As always you can rely on good service and excellent food. Ideal for special occasions or anytime. We know that we will never be disappointed when we eat at a Cote. Considering the number of diners, you always feel you are getting personal service.

Good food. Poor service. We didn’t get our complimentary cocktail, nor the olives we ordered. We had to ask for the table to be cleared. We were sitting next to a dirty serving area. Worst Côte experience to date.

Welcomed at the door and given a table upstairs as we requested. Our server was attentive and personable and we ordered glasses of Sancerre and starters. The wine was as lovely as ever and the first course delicious as usual. From then on it went bizarrely downhill. We usually order the Lagarde Pinot Noir with the fish course. A couple of glasses arrived with opaque red wine which had no resemblance in look, texture or taste to the wine we had ordered countless times before in Cote restaurants around the country for the last ten plus years. We were offered a Merlot instead but that seemed to be the same wine as before. To add insult to injury my fish was severely over-cooked. The fish was swiftly replaced and we went back to the Sancerre....bemused!! So, Richard and Nick, what the Grenache is going on?? Good food but a 400% mark-up on the wines means the experience is diminished overall. Carlucchios much better value for money as wine is not a rip-off.

Cote is brilliant - always very friendly, helpful and attentive service. And the food is superb; a real wide range of various meals on the menus, not too fancy and not too simple either. It's all just right! A great experience at a fabulous restaurant, with excellent value for money.

Waited ages for a waiter/waitress. I had to look around and wave for their attention On ordering the drinks I waited ages and again had to get the attention if the waiter to bring the drinks I ordered the moule and it was over cooked, chewy and was more like a starter portion. Should not be served as a main I generally enjoy Cote but on this occasion I had a dreadful experience

One of our group had to send her chicken back as it was raw in the middle. This was replaced with another meal which was satisfactory but it shouldn't have happened. While the pate and charcuterie was excellent, the sardine starter proved extremely small. However, the service was excellent.

Usual high standards and good attentiveness to customer requirements whether ordering, topping up drinks or getting bill. Several items unavailable unfortunately. Sea Bass a little dry but sauce helped. Ambiance exceptionally echoey with difficulty hearing conversations but have dined here several times and accept this feature. .
