"The starters were fine and per usual for Cote. We also ordered two fillet steaks a minute steak and a chicken Palladian salad. One of the fillet steaks came over cooked and the minute steak was too overly salty. Sent both these back. The minute steak on its return was still too salty, but what to do? The fillet was cooked to order this time but my daughter did not enjoy the taste. My chicken salad was supposed to have a tarragon dressing, the reason why I ordered, this was not my first time with this salad, I’ve had it before and knew it’s taste. This salad tasted different at first I thought I had ordered wrong and kept eating but towards the end OE as sure it should have a distinct tarragon flavour. I thought something was amiss until I realized the tarragon was just not there. When I questioned, the manger went and got the dressing from the chef and said this is the dressing we put on the salad. I am pretty sure in the past this salad had a more creamier tarragon flavour, where the dressing was emulsified. But this dressing he showed me was nothing like that. It also didn’t taste of tarragon. But he insisted that it was tarragon. I should have asked him to taste it, or another client to confirm the taste, but to me it was absolutely flavourless."
