"I enjoyed the food and variety at this restaurant. However, some of my pickier family members struggled to find appetizers they liked. The service was welcoming, and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere. Some customers seemed to be a bit rowdy due to alcohol consumption, causing some noise disturbances. Despite this, we were satisfied with both the delicious food and the attentive service provided by the staff."

"Lovely restaurant overlooking the bar, nice outside seating if weather permits. Service was friendly and attentive. Had mussels with sea vegetables to start which was good but very salty, maybe soak the sea vegetables to expel some salt. Monkfish was excellent and cooked, seasoned perfectly. No room for dessert so ordered a macchiato coffee but received a cappuccino. Good wine list and reasonably priced, **** Mary could have been better as it lacked spice and served with too much ice making it watery."

"The restaurant offers a separate menu for vegans, featuring two starters and two main courses. Unfortunately, there are no vegan desserts listed, but the staff was accommodating and offered to prepare something for me. The vegan options are priced lower than the meat and vegetable dishes, which is a pleasant surprise. I felt welcomed, although I wish they would simply include the vegan menu without having to ask for it. The food was delicious, some of the best I've had. I would recommend this restaurant for those looking for alternatives to the usual dining options."

"I arrived 10 mins early for our 8pm booking so, as my partner was running late, I sat at the bar to order 2 Dirty Martinis, so his would be ready on arrival. It is lucky the wall behind the bottles is mirrored, as I had to keep checking to make sure that at a chunky 185lbs, I wasnt suddenly invisible... Several barmen went about their duties and having served the guests to my right, then having a natter among themselves, they then asked the couple if they wanted another drink, while I again checked the mirror to make sure I hadn 't been the subject of some scientific experiment, but NO! I was definitely still there! By 8.12 my partner arrived and I still had not been served so we decided to go straight to the table. The Maitre-d ' didn 't seem surprised and told me our table waiter would be able to get our cocktails... Frankly, for me the cocktail moment had passed and I was ready to order a bottle of wine for the meal, but my partner took the opportunity to order the 2 Martinis. The shared charcuterie board came with 3 half slices of light toast .. 3 on a shared platter seemed strange but when requested more bread came quickly. The quality of meat and additions were excellent and it was a most enjoyable starter. There are some very decent wines at low cost, as well as the usual offerings around double the price. But our Nero D 'avola was just right. I had a succulent Chicken Milanese and my partner enjoyed his Macaroni Cheese. The service was excellent, the waiter was attentive and friendly, and we were not being rushed to leave so we ordered one desert to share. The Pecan pie was amazing. It wasn 't the usual sickly sweet offering elsewhere, and the salted caramel ice cream that accompanied it was superb. Again we were not being rushed, but encouraged instead to finish the last of our wine at leisure.. It was a very enjoyable evening and it reminded me of my first ever date at the old venue some 35 years ago. In those days my date knew a famous actress and soap star who was a frequent visitor to Joe Allen. We were often invited to join her table or take adjacent seats. Joe Allen has lost none of its charm, but I did much prefer the bigger bar and being able to hear the pianist, who apparently was playing while we were there. As Arnie said.... I 'll be back... though I may grab a Martini or Marguerita somewhere else, first."

"I really enjoyed the food and the variety of choices offered at this restaurant. However, some of my pickier companions couldn't find anything that appealed to them. The service was friendly and the restaurant was bustling with activity. Some patrons seemed to be more focused on alcohol consumption, which added to the noise level at times. Overall, we were pleased with the food quality, portion sizes, and the attentive service from the staff."

"I attended at 14.30 on Wednesday 21/02/18 with a business associate. Pro's: I had the grilled chicken Ceasar salad which was a good size and delicious. Lovely dressing. I asked for a glass of water and a caraf was delivered. My associate had a cake and a coffee which she enjoyed. Cons: My associate had a baby with her and there was no high chair offered, so she had to hold the baby herself for the entire lunch (90 min session. It took 20 mins(! for a waiter to visit our table for the 1st time and take a drinks order. We finished our meal and needed further drinks and sat for 45 mins (no exaggeration! trying to get someones attention. I then stood up and went to the bar to pay as it was clear that there was no point in spending any more time there. When I asked the waiter for a VAT receipt he had no idea what I was asking for. I had to call one his colleagues over, who then had to explain it. Sort your service out. The good salad is not enough to warrant a 2nd visit with this shockingly bad service!"

"The staff was incredibly helpful and courteous. Although we weren’t aware that we needed to preorder the Christmas menu, they still accommodated us when we arrived. The venue is beautiful, making it a perfect setting for our work Christmas dinner. The food was delicious, and there were great vegan options available. Thank you!"

"I had high hopes, a lovely looking building , great location, a warm welcome but all unfortunately undone by one individual. Looking back at previous reviews of the hare and billet it would appear that this is not the first time my experience has happened, that there is an issue and it is yet to be addressed. in hindsight I probably should have been more diplomatic and asked to speak to the restaurant manager, but when you are out for a relaxing evening with your loved one, you really don 't want to be ruining the evening any further by pursuing the issue in public, sometimes, and I 'm sure we are all guilty of this, we let it ride and try to restart our evening. But this is acceptable and no guest under any circumstances should be made feel this way. It is extremely unprofessional and distinctly shows a lack in skill and training. It 's by far the worst experience I have ever had as a paying guest in the catering industry. one individual, one very rude, aggressive and impatient male member of the bar/ restaurant team , more suited to doorwork than service it would appear. everything seemed to be a problem , service was invasive, rushed and impatient, not a smile. not one for the whole painful experience. I 'm sure the hare and billet have heard about smile training within their industry, it really works but clearly not here. The pinnacle of the whole miserable experience was been called out by this individually in a threading manner when ,I think, he finally noticed I was not entirely happy with his attitude and service, with the words what 's your problem ? unbelievable. To summarise, I get the impression that this does not happen all the time, but I bet it 's happening a lot more than people are prepared to say or post about. It seems to be an ongoing issue and until resolved. I 'm sure it will unfortunately most likely continue to the detriment of the business. I will not be returning and I would not recommend."

"The venue is lovely and the staff are friendly. I have dined here many times before, but the last couple of visits have been disappointing. On both occasions, we waited over an hour for our food to arrive and ended up leaving before eating. More recently, they had run out of all vegetarian options except for Fish and Chips, so unfortunately we left again without eating. Despite these recent experiences, I have had great meals at the Coach in the past and would still recommend them. However, I will be sure to double check the menu options before going again."

"We had a lovely meal here while on holiday in the area. Our favourite of the three places we tried. The service was excellent, friendly and helpful, and the food delicious. The special roast pork was superb; my other half enjoyed his steak. We sat in the garden at the back, where the tables were well spaced. Felt very comfortable with all the measures"

"The restaurant is lovely, light and airy with plenty to look at. The food is excellent. I had the watermelon and feta salad my husband the broccoli soup. Both were excellent. For seconds I had the pork belly my husband fish and chips. We thought a whale had landed the piece of fish was that large. Again beautifully cooked. Desert was delicious, chocolate brownie, strawberry cheese cake and salted caramel cake. Yum. Only complaint is the menu on the website is totally different to the menu we were given. Hence why my husband ended up with posh fish and chips. However, this didn't really detract from a very nice meal."

"I am a HUGE Cote fan have gone on a regular basis for years with friends family in Glasgow London. Most recently in December Visited last night with friends was embarrassed as I chose to eat there booked telling them it was great tasty food, great value great wines. food was bland, not great, not a lot of it they only had 3 types of gin drinks were slow to come had to be chased on 3 occasions restaurant was only at best half full, so no idea why we had to continually chase drinks that did not arrive. I really don't enjoy posting this review as previously I have always enjoyed the food had a good dining experience liked the set menu a la carte choice. It looks like maybe the cost of living crisis has hit the chef recipes/ingredients/quality have dipped significantly. None of my friends had previously been to Cote so not a great experience for them on my recommendation"

"We enjoyed a wonderful three-course meal on June 23, 2023. The dishes were absolutely delicious, including the pig's cheek, guinea fowl, chocolate and orange ice cream, and pineapple tart. The meal was great value for money, and we will definitely be coming back. The staff was polite, helpful, and professional. Our female server (unfortunately, we didn't catch her name) was delightful and shared insightful information about the food and the course she was clearly passionate about. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Thank you!"

"Went there to pick up a quick bite during lunch and had the coconut-chocolate chia pudding. It's the best chia pudding one can find it London. Also love their selection of French pastries and the coffee was great too."
