"What a delight! First time to this branch. I travel a lot and often have to dine solo which I don't mind. Some restaurants single you out but Côte Brasserie are very welcoming to all guests. Despite how busy they were on a Saturday evening, I was warmly greeted upon arriving, seated at a nice table and had excellent service throughout. Staff were attentive, yet left guests to dine in peace and enjoy their meal. I am a big fan of customer service. I have just come back from Japan where service is outstanding. I always find in the UK, we are one of the worse for service. However, Côte Brasserie is starting to make me have faith again. Well done! Great menu of French classics but there are other options too including steaks and salads. Hearty but good food. Calories and nutritional information are displayed on the menu which is helpful. I had the vegan Côte burger which came with frites. Freshly made, well presented and delicious. Messy to eat but so good. My Saturday treat! I actually felt shy when I fully cleaned up my plate but I was hungry and was looking forward to a burger. It delivered. I had a still water to drink so I was a bit healthy! Lovely branch with mainly indoor seating, plus a few tables outside. Lovely ambience and nice views too. They are busy given location so book a table. A lot of people were turned away or had to come back. Clean. Dessert looked good but I was stuffed. What Côte have also done well is not put up prices too much, especially in comparison to competitors. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend."

"I booked originally for 6pm and had to change to 6:30pm due to traffic. I hadn’t confirmed The new booking so the host could not find a booking for us. It was my father’s birthday and I was really worried I had messed it up. The host, was fine and was still able to get us seated, we were very pleased with that. We were given a choice of tables, and as a larger guest, I was able to be seated comfortably. We’re we’re served by Tom. S ,for the evening. OMG! What a charming and delightful waiter. He was attentive, had great banter and held a wonderful conversation, wished my father a happy birthday, and tended to my wine being filled up all evening. He made us feel wonderful, and made me feel like a million dollars. The food was absolutely superb, French onion soup was perfectly seasoned, the croutons were Devine along with a salty cheese. Loaded with sweet onions: The liver parfait my husband had was delicious he said. My dad and husband had the beef bourguignon, and I had the chicken, gratin with a side of dauphinois potatoes… Again… absolutely perfect. The service here was top notch, and Tom.S made our first experience at Côte the best. He is a first class waiter, that I would compare to the the likes of The Ritz and The Savoy. Fantastic personality, and very well groomed and presented. What a fabulous and marvellous team member you have there. Cherish that! We will definitely return, and recommend this restaurant highly. 5 Service from Tom.S and the chef."

"the inhabitants of chelsea and fulham can appreciate themselves fortunate, not only for the obvious reasons (it is one of the most prosperous against in london, but also because the imperial recently opened at the western end of the king’s road! Previously a pub, known as the imperial arms, is now a modern restaurant in a stunning Victorian building that was completely renovated by the owners alan turtill and kate macwhirter. I was kindly invited to check the special brunch menu of the restaurant so I was there a few weeks ago with my man. we took the overground of clapham junction for just one stop to the imperial wharf and went to the restaurant less than ten minutes. we were greeted by the beautiful front of the house staff who took away our moms and accompanied us to a table on the back of the restaurant. the room swarmed in the sunlight that came through from the window wall, while before us the open kitchen with the chefs was at work. the imperial is beautiful with a lot of love for detail furnished: the table top with colorful small pots salt and pfeffer; the copper lamps above the kitchen bar; the color scheme with small yellow and blue details repeated here and there; and my favorites aesop hand wash in the toilets! we decided to order two glasses of prosecco to celebrate the discovery of this beautiful place and awake our appetite! the new brunch menu of the chef cook tom hope contains the benefits of coriander chilli corn fritters with fender and bacon; crushed avocado lemon, tomato grilled halloumi on sourdough and egg white omelette, spring onion herbs but we decided to taste two classics: the full english breakfast and the eggs benedict. I loved how the dishes were presented and the beautiful colors of eating against the blue tellers. my full english with rührei, speck, sausage, mushroom, black pudding, tomaten and roasted brot was delicious! each element was tasty without exaggerating the other. we treated ourselves dessert, but only one who shared us, as we were already full of breakfast. the brotpudding was delicious! it was the second time I had one in my whole life, so don't count me as expert, but it was really nice. one of the owners, kite, was in the restaurant to ensure that everything went smoothly and even the tables served. I had the chance to thank her for the invitation and tell her I had a great time. she was happy to know that I loved eating and invited us to stay for a Sunday! I could see that beautiful roasts come from the kitchen and it was really hard to resist the temptation. but there will be another time, sure!"
