Three of us ate here. We all chose from the à la carte menu. We chose different things, and we were all extremely pleased with our choices. My fish Parmentier was superb. Would definitely

Parking: Went to Waitrose for weekly groceries and parked there as was only an hour. Quick bite to eat.

Best family restaurant in Esher. We have been coming here for many years and it is getting better year by year. We always recommend it to all our friends and family.

Nadia was on it and general service is always on point. Very accommodating and just a great place to have lunch. Food is fresh (salads are awesome) and the waiters are always at hand. I am always a happy customer here. A big thanks to Nadia for being a star!

Staff were friendly and helpful, food was fab - the beef Bourgeon , the mushroom Bourgeon (vegan) on and the fillet steak washed down with a bottle of Cote du Rhône.Just was a little bit loud, when we come again we would pick a week day.

Got a lot better,not 100% sure they have turned the corner after a few bad meals at a number of Cotes, clearly a head office change. Hopefully, they have reverted back.

The staff were polite and helpful is the best I can say. The order was wrong for our food and the rib eye steak was the worst I've had in 20 years.It was a bit burnt on the outside and raw in the middle and tasted of whatever had been burned on the griddle previously. I'd rather not waste is so I smothered it in sauce but it was quite quite bad.I presume it was a new chef.I'd avoid at all costs.
We were a table of four - all our dinners were very tasty. And we really enjoyed the Xmas profiteroles! (I think those need to stay on the menu). And nice comfy chairs - which are great if you want to have a comfy relaxed evening. All in all a very good restaurant. Parking available just down the road (just past Waitrose). Only downside was a really noisy big table close to us (women shrieking) - but that's the patrons not the restaurant.

We went to Cote Esher with friends for sunday lunch. We chose from the festive menu. The food was passable but nothing that would entice us to come back. The service from start to finish was atrocious or maybe i should say non existant. It didn't suprise me that they had already included service in the bill when it arrived, because they wouldn't have got a penny if it was optional . Most suprising was that when we paid after a very long wait, I informed the server that the service was atrocious, she basically wasnt interested and offered no apology. Cote may make a lot of money during the festive period but based on their food and service they will struggle badly next year. This is one chain that will be avoided by our grpoup of five in the future.

So much better, we have had a number of bad experiences recently and worried Cote had gone off the boil. Very good breakfast catered for my fusssy sons' desperation to contract scurvy with his aversion to fruit. Smashing eggs Royale. Will be back. Minus one point for lacking creme fraiche, maple syrup.

This is the first time I have felt the need to complain about this restaurant. The service was very, very slow and it wasn't busy. I ordered a quiche Lorraine. The chips thankfully were delicious. The quiche was the worst I have ever had. The pastry was very very soggy and the depth of the filling was so very shallow that the melted cheese was overpowering. When I mentioned these problems, the waitress was quite dismissive. It may have been useful for the kitchen to know my thoughts, but I fear my opinion was ignored.

A quick catch up with a friend over exceptional French onion soup on a cold day, it really means there’s only one place to go…. A French brasserie so we go to Cote. Their French onion soup is delicious and filling.
