Cote Brasserie Chiswick

Enjoyed food BUT when needed the toilet/ loo downstairs found it dirty, NO toilet paper and nothing to dry hands. At 1.15 pm that is not acceptable I noticed a staff member used it and went back upstairs without washing hands. Could you train staff?

We have been regular visitors to Cote in Chiswick and it has always been a good local restaurant. Tonight however was a disaster, when I told the manager about our issues with our meal, he couldn't have been more rude and condescending. We will never visit Cote again. Avoid you have been warned!

Amazing as always! Alas, the old couple couple next to me chose to accost a patron whom they thought was complaining to management. It turned out they were just friends!! No apology was offered by the elderly pair they just carried on as if they hadn’t caused a scene! Shameful in my opinion ! But the staff, as always, rose above it and served both tables with the utmost professionalism. I couldn’t have done it!… Anyway. Love cote Chiswick! Will be back…

Cote is one of the better chains, with the food always being of a certain standard. This one is our local, so decided it was about time to leave a review, seeing as we eat here quite a bit. This was a meet up with six friends for the Christmas season and it was a great afternoon. Drinks arrived within ten minutes and the waitress took our food order without too much ado. Our dishes were good, the meat platter was excellent and all v.happy. Every time I eat here, I wonder why we don’t do it more ? Loud but pleasant afternoon.

How disappointing, Côte has changed… I’ve been going here for years, but on the last couple of occasions it has really deteriorated. Portion sizes are noticeably smaller, ingredients are missing from dishes (and this is not communicated when ordering), and the quality of the ingredients seems to have suffered. Whilst inflation could account for this, other restaurants have been creative with their offerings to reduce the impact for diners. It would be great if Côte could manage to do the same. This is a lovely location, and used to be a real gem in the neighbourhood. Hopefully this can be the case again.

This chain is usually reliable for good food, service and value. On this occasion only the waiting service was acceptable and the manager or head of service was rather indifferent to concerns raised over the quality of the food. An artichoke salad had tinned artichoke, tired tomatoes, gloopy dressing, a small portion of leaves and croutons that tasted like stale dough balls. On request these were changed but the replacement was hardly better. My partner’s main course of sea bass was fine but my special pork belly cassoulet was awful. The belly park was stringy, the sausage and I think) chicken was tough and tasteless and the whole dish tired and unappealing.

Cote used to be fabulous, but this Cote is lacking. The last two times I've been they've stated by giving us the menu then proceeding to list everything they are missing. Normally missing a few things is normal but I am pretty sure the waitress listed something like 10 things lacking, one of those, for example was that we can have the burger but they've got no buns (what? , or that there's no lamb, or tart for starter or main etc etc. Toilets are always disgusting every time I've been. Beef Bourguignon is not as it should be, grilled chicken lacking flavour and dauphinoise potatoes barely cheesy, so beware when ordering. Otherwise, I recommend the chicken liver parfait and sea bass. Service...

Great food and service as always. However, why when you order a starter in this instance calamari (the best) the minute it’s finished your plate is taken away and minutes later your main arrives. You may as well serve the starter as a side! I did ask the waiter if he could delay the main as I had experienced this issue before. Unfortunately the chef had already sent it to be served. The waiter explained politely that some people are in a rush and don’t want to wait too long for the next course. That’s fine, but I think it would be a benefit if when the staff take an order, they could ask the customer when they would like the next course. It puts me off ordering a starter, knowing how quickly...

Very good waiting staff especially Joel. The good news ends there. Table starters of baguette and olives were measly .the butter was very good but there was not enough bread for the amount of butter. A starter of cheese soufflé was so dire it’s hard to describe. It was like a heavy three dimensional omelette with a strange thin pouring sauce. A horrible experience. Breton Chicken with Dauphinoise potatoes and a pepper sauce was also terrible. Very very dry reheated chicken which had a mouldy flavour probably due to stale herbs. Pepper sauce was thin and tasteless but luckily there was not much of it. The Dauphinoise potatoes were an insult thick dry overcooked lumps of potato sitting in a ye...
