January 20th: Pre booked for 4 , with 2 of us having visited on a couple of other occasions in the last 18 months..?. I'm glad I did as the place was almost full, with a good vibe ??.. Seated & given time to peruse the drinks & food menu ?. Orders placed & delivered in a timely manner. All on all a good evening & a good introduction to your brand for 2 of the diners, who plan to visit a Cote in or around their home town of Leamington Spa..??

Went to cote on 13 th Jan. have to say the food was awful , had pork belly , 95% was fat . My husband had beef bourgion it was very dried out. We ordered our meal within no less than 6 minutes our food was served , which suggests to me it was all pre done , just to reheat. Everything was hurried , almost like they wanted you in eat and get out. Our waiter Adam was very good , he said have a desert on the house to make up for the mains. Ordered the apple and pear Bakewell , you needed a hammer and chisel to eat it it was rock hard , totally uneditable, I said to the waiter try and put the fork in that , he said oh my god. So not a good experience at all ruined our Saturday night out . As for the baguette, it was cut so thin it was like wafers , not like it used to be , so I would not recommend this restaurant.

We visited in the early evening on New Year?s Eve. We had a very nice time, overall - the food was great with a good choice from the NYE menu. But it was extremely busy (a good sign!) and this did impact on service and we had to chase both our starters and mains. But this didn?t detract too much from the experience and we had a very enjoyable end to 2023 in the Cote Chichester. We?ll definitely be back and, dare I say, it?s a better restaurant with nicer food than a certain ?three letter? place around the corner?..

My partner and I booked a dinner for New Year?s Eve. The table next to us had waited an hour to have there starters and nibbles arrive all at once. We had waited over 30 minutes at this point and still had no nibbles so they gave us there?s as didn?t want both there starters and nibbles at the same time. After a total of an hour waiting and having to ask for cutlery and napkins - 1 of our starters (calamari) arrived cold, not even warm. The restaurant was extremely busy, which is to be expected but clearly could not cope with the large amount of bookings. Shall not be revisiting.

Beautiful food amazing service. We were asked to move tables and due to a different tables issues, so the lovely manager Cassandra offered us a drink of our choice on the house, that turned out to be champagne! Absolutely fantastic experience, staff and food it was amazing and it was my birthday! Orders the cote de boef and was delicious. Would highly recommend can't wait to come back

We went here for lunch for my birthday on Christmas Eve. On arrival we were greeted with a lovely and cheeful ? Merry Christmas?. When we booked we had said that it was my birthday and I was also wished a ?happy birthday?. We got asked if we had any allergies and my son said that he was gluten free. We were shown to a table (of our choice) and given our menus, my son with a gluten free menu. I was then presented with a lovely glass of Cremant and again wished a happy birthday, which was a lovely touch. . Menu options were great including the gluten free ones. Our food was lovely and tasty the gluten free food had a gf flag in it on arrival so that there was no confusion. My son felt relaxed and able to really enjoy his meal knowing that such care had been taken with his food. All in all we had a great experience, lovely food and great service, we wouldn?t hesitate to return. Thank you to all the team.

I had lunch here one Sunday with family. I'm always hesitant about menus like this as I have a cow's milk allergy & never know if dishes are adapted so that I get an equivalent meal. I was pleased to see that there was an allergen menu, so I was able to consult this. However, it showed that most dishes had milk in & I was told that it may not be possible to adapt them as the dishes were pre- made & arrived in packs. I'd hoped that a restaurant such as this would actually cook from scratch. That way dishes can be adapted, such as butter not being used to cook meat, cream omitted from sauces. After some enquiry I was told that the duck would be OK but without the dauphinnoise potatoes would have to be swapped for chips. I was then charged extra as I opted for the truffle fried chips. I accept that these cost £1 extra if ordered as a side. However, I felt this was a bit cheeky as I would have preferred the dauphinnoise. There are some vegan options on the menu, such as a vegan burger, but I could have that at a pub. My family were able to eat from the normal menu & enjoyed it. For myself, I wouldn't choose to go back.

My friend and myself are both vegan and we had been recommended here for the mushroom bourguignon and it didn?t disappoint! We were both amazed at how tasty and delicious it was. We are so impressed we are already planning our next visit here. One of the best vegan meals we have ever had!

A very expensive experience for very poor food. The fillet steak was so old it tasted (and looked) truly awful - it must have been at the bottom of the freezer for years! One of our guests had the Rib Eye steak which was, apparently, like shoe leather. Do not order steaks at this restaurant. Our sever was very terse with taking our order and seemed to be on a race to be somewhere else despite the restaurant being less than a quarter full with three other server, despite being Friday in a very crowded city. When we received our food she did not come back to the table to check everything was OK and that we had everything we needed. She only asked if we needed more drinks when we had finished eating and she was clearing the plates. We were done with the place actually - did not order desserts or coffee. We did leave the 10% service charge out of courtesy - which unfortunately was not extended to us Definitely would not go there again.

An absolute disgrace. Whilst on the menu the dishes remain the same, the quality has been changed to keep prices down and the whole experience was not one that I will ever repeat. Very sad because it used to be a go-to place for consistency, interesting food and good service.

Another delicious lunch at Cote Chichester. Quick and professional service even though the restaurant was very busy. Tasty menu selection. Absolutely nothing to fault. See you again soon. TR

We had pre-booked. Excellent and speedy service, but very loud in here. Food was great - we all had a main and dessert. Great price, especially considering it's a quality restaurant. Would recommend this restaurant, just a shame it's so loud in there and that the toilets are quite a trek!
