Had a wonderful dinner and lovely staffs , will defo refer to my friends and will be back soon!

Thank you Amersham. It was great experience and yummy food and excellence customer service with energetic and friendly staff. I were stop there for some drinks only but suddenly we changed our mind when we see menu .

Lovely staff . Particularly the lovely waiter who chased out after us to give my friend her handbag , she had left behind .

I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service.

Fabulous time at Amersham House this afternoon. First time in Amersham and we will be back. Attentive service from staff members Gemma and Ilias. Tasty and affordable food. Great management and service throughout our visit. Lovely touch from the team, giving my by mum a birthday dessert without us requesting it. This is a great find for a quick and affordable meal.

Had a great evening, Great service and food, charming and very helpful waiters

Great time here. Service and food were great. Sam really looked after us thank you.

After reading all the excellent recommendations on Google for Amersham House, I booked our ladies bookclub breakfast here ( they offer a champagne breakfast! 🍾 😍) . Our experience definitely lived up to the reviews, the service was impeccable, the food was fantastic and the bubbles were sublime 👌 The venue itself is surprisingly spacious, and also very welcoming. What an excellent way to start the weekend! 🍾 🥂 I booked ahead by simply phoning them up. Really great experience all round - well done to manager Sam and the team, we will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A wonderful venue for our bookclub brunch. All of our breakfasts were delicious, lovely great mugs of cuppacino & a glass of bubbles. The champagne breakfast deal is fantastic value for money. Friendly attentive staff, a good experience we will be back !

Love this place food ,customer services everything was bang on would love to come here again

Lovely breakfast, great sausage I thought, and polite attentive staff

What a lovely place for breakfast!! We were served by a fantastic waitress called Kirsty, she enhanced the overall experience and is a credit to Amersham House. I hope the management recognise and appreciate her. Well done Kirsty.

This place has no character. It doesn’t know whether to appear as a cafe or restaurant. The menu us all over the place. The food is good, but that’s not enough. The staff are great (Sidney). But the decor and vibe is meh. They should have the front area defined as a bar, relaxed area. Bar food. And the back, which is elegant, as the proper restaurant. At the moment it’s got no definition.

We love visiting Amersham House. The food is very good & the staff are always very friendly & give excellent service. A nice relaxed place to eat

It was a pleasant experience visiting Amersham house. Really great customer service and food was nice although its almost like a cote menu. Will be back soon

Unfortunately, avery large table of 14+? seems to have put the kitchen under pressure. As a result, we had a wait of over 1.5 hours for our meals. They ran out of chips (???) so we had to wait for a delivery to get ours. No criticism of the manager and staff who continually came to us to apologise. In particular, waiter ‘Phillips’ was exceptional. An offer of a free desert for our granddaughter was accepted and appreciated. There are obvious system failures in the booking process versus kitchen capability which need addressing but the food is good and value for money.

I highly recommend Amersham House for brunch, dinner or even coffee with locally crafted pastries. The price is very reasonable for the area, the food is excellent, very tasty and plentiful. The service is very attentive and professional. Overall a great experience in an airy and spacious settling in the heart of Old Amersham.

Amersham House is my favourite place to meet friends and have quality time with my family in old Amersham. Their service is excellent, and the staff could not provide enough for the customers. It is spacious, so the guests are not cramped on top of each other. The food is delicious. I love their brunch, especially. The best thing is that they have plenty of vegan plant-based food options, and I can see the main chef has made special efforts to create these dishes. If you are coming to Old Amersham to dine or have a coffee, this is where you want to be!!! Thanks to the Manager Sam who has made us feel very welcome!

Lovely food, a little amateur service, well meaning.

We have come here many times and are always warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the food is delightful - they have some of the best burgers. Sam was attentive and thoughtful with his table service. 🤩

We went as a family and had a fantastic experience. The management team was exceptional and very helpful. We enjoyed the best food and ambiance one could hope for. The price and food served was outstanding.

I took my mum here today before a hospital appointment that she wasn't looking forward to. She is a fussy eater but absolutely loved it, best creme caramel she has ever had !! We ordered from the lunch set menu which is fantastic value for money. Also the staff are lovely. We will be visiting again soon.

I've been here a few times now and never been disappointed, lovely place and great food! The team are very attentive and create a very welcoming atmosphere. On my most recent visit, one of the team caught wind that my cousin and I were there catching up after months of not seeing each other and in that time she'd got engaged. He very kindly offered us each a glass of prosecco on the house, which was such a lovely thing to do. Have already booked to go back for a 30th birthday breakfast with my family, highly recommend!

Great ambiance and customer service

I recently had a lovely lunch at Amersham House Amershm and wanted to share my experience. The atmosphere was cozy,I ordered the tuna nicoise and a welsh rarebit sandwich, and both were absolutely delicious. The tuna nicoise was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the welsh rarebit was cheesy and satisfying. Overall there menu and service were top notch, really a perfect place to visit in this summer

Must visitable restaurant ❤️taste of the food are incredible

Great ambience, nice staff. Our first time there but were impressed with cozy atmosphere. Sam who is the manager, was great in customer service. He looked after us well during our son's art exhibition and offered us a free drink too. Will go again in future.

lovely drinks and lovely staff!

Sam was very friendly and accommodating even though there was a private event …he went out of his way to be welcoming and very friendly.Next time will defo try the food

Popped in for a snack lunch and chose the chicken liver pate with sourdough plus a coffee. Best pate I’ve tasted! Nicely served and friendly service.

First time back since this was Cote (we REALLY loved Cote so was a bit apprehensive, hence we left it for a while) Very glad to report that the food was excellent, the team were all super friendly, and we loved the artworks now on display. The confit duck leg was top notch, as was the pesto linguine with grilled chicken. We also had a potato carb fest of sides, plus minted peas were delish. 😍 Of course the best part was the Margarita and Mojito 🍹🍸😁 Looking forward to our next visit. Well done Amersham House team.

Excellent service and tasty foods. Wonderful ambience

I visited the restaurant for lunch without reservation and the team was kind to find me a table during the rush hour. I ordered Pork belly and scallop and the Pork belly was the best i ever had. Special thanks to Mr. Sam for the great customer service and going over and beyond to help and provide best services.

The restaurant offers excellent food with a welcoming atmosphere. The service is outstanding, and the staff is friendly and always smiling, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Food is delicious, great atmosphere too!

Very good restaurant! Perfect atmosphere and great dishes! Do not miss to go to Amersham House!

Amersham house offers a delightful dining experience with top-notch food and service... Highly recommended..!!

My cousin and I went there on Saturday food was good and service was too, very attentive and Sam the manager was very nice.

Great food and excellent service by zam

..the food is good.. But a friend asked to check my patience here.. .but it was just to make me experience otherwise, actually.And some dishes were unique and treated my palette with a blend of meticulously and artistically mixed spices.. And..I found a neat place with almost everything knitted well to hang around and dine out.The aesthetic design of the Juniper green theme gelled with the wood polished-combinations around is classic and authentic. In a way, the exprience we took out was worth a visit and we expect the same warmth from them the next time, as well.. if not I will not step in, then..and I am dare to give the worst review.coz I have not seen consistency in some other corners of the city(don't want to tarnish them now.again. ) and stopped even my friends, going there So . Hope you keep the standard.thats more important.you stay good.good for you good for us.., if not, otherwise 😀 ..a.must go place.. good experience overall

I visited here with my father to give him a wonderful and memorable Father's Day gift. Even though the floor was quite crowded, the staff did their best to serve us. The atmosphere, food quality, and their courtesy were all exceptional and deserve appreciation. Congratulations to the whole team!

Terrible experience. Sat down at half 11 for breakfast and were asked immediately what we wanted to drink. It took 15 minutes or so to recieve our coffees however and we had to ask to order food. By half 12 we asked how long our food would be and were told it was coming immediately. 15 minutes later two small plates of food arrived. The poached eggs were overcooked and the avocado was a smooth paste, almost like the kind you'd buy from a supermarket. The vegan sausage was a hard patty that was obviously a frozen one, and the bacon was apparently fatty and tasteless. We ate because we were very hungry and had waited over an hour and 15 minutes at this point, but were extremeley disappointed in the dishes. They removed the food from our bill which was really the only acceptable thing they could do at this point, but we definitely wouldn't come back. The table next to us also waited as long without any updates from staff.

A beautiful and serene atmosphere which is handled by the owner/manager and staff in an excellent manner. It's one the perfect places for friendly catch-ups, grood food and great customer service. The food and drinks are budget friendly and the ambience is a perfect backdrop to enjoy with family and friends as well. This quality makes it kids friendly. Talking about the food and drinks would have me speechless. Overall it is PERFECT.

Entire village is beautiful, peaceful and amazing.

Very tasty food in a nice restaurant. Very attentive and good service.

Really impressed with the new menu and service! Looks great after the rebrand and using bread from the local bakery is a nice touch

Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere.

Food was perfection and you get given free treats for birthdays. The service was great and quick and the servers were all very nice.

Had a very pleasant prix fixe lunch, good choices in a comfortable room with extremely friendly and professional service. Excellent staff

Good food & a good price. Very friendly

A really good vegetarian breakfast, excellent food freshly cooked and delicious eggs, avocado and vegan sausage amongst a good plate of food. The drinks were a little delayed, food arrived before drinks, but staff were good and a really pleasant place.

Great food and excellent service

I visited this restaurant the other day and was served by a lovely lady called Bethan! Her immaculate speedy service and positive friendly attitude really made my dining experience one to remember. She was very attentive and made sure all my needs were met! Thank you Bethan for your lovely service, I cannot wait to come back!

Delicious lunch on Easter Sunday. Starters came quickly as did our mains. Courteous staff. We skipped dessert as already full and had Easter treats at home but they looked delicious when served to others.

Have eaten here on past occasions and despite being quite expensive enjoyed lunch and menus. Today the set menu offered very little to choose from as it reflected inexpensive food choices. Chose from the a la carte: one of the dishes chosen was belly of pork which had to be sent back as 80% was fat and left with possibly 4 bites of pork. Two minute steaks then ordered which were fine but quite expensive (£16 each). Calamari pretty good (£9) but drinks very expensive - small glass of house wine £6.75, Vodka and tonic £7.10. Staff very pleasant but restaurant devoid of customers indicating probably too expensive for what is being offered. Will probably try other restaurants in town due to being a bit underwhelmed on this occasion.

great place for a delicious and good value lunch. advise booking as quite busy on the tuesday lunchtime we visited.

We ate at AH on Saturday. Initially we were pleased as we were given a bigger table, but then things deteriorated somewhat. The bottle of water we asked for was unceremoniously dumped on the table in front of us and then one of the starters we’d ordered was brought out ahead of the wine. When the mains arrived one of the dishes was missing and annoyingly we got the obligatory “how is everything?” question before we were able to start eating the main. Overall we felt we were being hurried along which wasn’t appreciated given this was a Saturday night and we were out to have a relaxed meal. In fairness when we said as much after the main course the service became more relaxed. Having looked at other reviews I am wondering if the staff are overcompensating for some complaints about slow service. Aside from the gripes on the service the food was good and we mostly enjoyed our visit.

Family group of 7 with 2 children aged 15 months and 5 we waited 1hour and 40 minutes from time of order to food on the table. No starter, we didn’t order pudding as we didn’t know how long that would take. This is unacceptable especially for feeding young children. No one gave an explanation till we complained. We have been before and wait was bad. Thought it was a one off but no. Will not be going back again.

Great food, great atmosphere… and actually reasonably priced for the area! Would come back. Nice friendly staff as well

I would like to thank the team and Camilla especially for always welcoming myself and my family with such warm open arms. I always feel so comfortable at Amersham house and that’s why I chose it for every special occasion! I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Enjoyed the food but the service was so slow

Nice service, outside as distancing, good tea/coffee and food.

Lovely food, nice atmospheric, pleasant staff, dog friendly! What let them down was how slow the service was. Waited one full hour for 3 english breakfasts. Had to flag the waitress down to order them and saw other tables have the same issue. If they sped things up it would be a great spot!

We received impeccable service from a lovely staff member, Salma; she treated us incredibly well and made the entire experience very special

I did write directly to Amersham house after the meal because it’s difficult to complain when you are with company but had no response so sadly a negative review here. Service was slow, drinks delivery was all mixed up but the worst part was the fish stew. No mention of potatoes in the ingredients list on the menu but in the end the dish was more like potatoes in a tomato sauce with a sea food garnish. To not mention the ingredient that makes up 50% of the dish is not on. When it did arrive it looked like it had been standing on the pass for at least 10 minutes. don’t think I’ll be rushing back which is a shame because the decor is very nice.

Nice food, nice coffee, nice staff.

Last night we had a fantastic meal out at Amersham House. Our waiter Alex was attentive and friendly, so we felt nicely looked after. The restaurant was busy for a Monday so had a good vibe. The food was lovely, starters nice and crispy and the mains were delicious! I would be more than happy to return and I am already looking forward to my next visit :) thank you!

Atmospheric café, good service, delicious food, good coffee. I would like more assortment on the menu

Lovely cups of coffee but very disappointed that payment is card only

A very pleasant place - much bigger than expected with lots of different seating options from casual to romantic. Lovely service from all staff.

I stopped by Amersham House for a quiet lunch which was interrupted by the aggressive tone of the manageress, Leena as she barked orders to her staff which seriously horrified me & ruined the meal. The young staff are well trained & very courteous but I doubt very much they’ll have the staying power to carry on working in such belittling conditions. This woman seriously needs to be taught how to manage & motivate her team to keep their spirits high as she would get much more back if she didn’t treat them in such a disparaging & totally unacceptable manner

Went here for an evening meal between Christmas and New Year with my husband, dad, and our dog. Service was brilliant, staff are super friendly, food was delicious and drink choices were great. Venue is clean, lighting is lovely and decor is nice. We sat in the window seat looking at the pretty Christmas lights in the old high street. Two of us had the set menu. Salmon croquettes and mussels, which were both scrumptious. Then, one of us had the half chicken off the a la carte. We all had desserts - chocolate fondant and creme caramel. Lovely!

Dreadful. Waited 45 mins for a coffee and then were charged for service!! Suffice to say, we had that removed and won't be going again.

We booked a table for a family of 8 and had a lovely evening . The staff were friendly and engaging the food was excellent and as described. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be going again. Well done to the team.

Starters arrived before drinks Chicken was a tad undercooked Ice Cream had hair in it. The staff are friendly and do try, overall not bad.

Came in unexpectedly a few weeks ago and was greeted by a beautiful waitress with lovely green eyes. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and I loved the warm interior. Unfortunately the food took a very long time to arrive. I tried to speak to management however they were not very helpful. The waitress was very helpful and tried her best and recommended the pear and berry crumble which was delicious. If the food had arrived quicker it would have been 10/10 but I would come again. Thank you Salma.

What a wonderful place. Came for a very enjoyable evening meal here after a classical recital. Will definitely be coming back soon. 😋

Excellent service, decor and seating. I had the calamari starter, which was very tasty and mostly perfectly cooked although a couple were chewy. One of our party party had the tomato soup which she was very impressed with. My main was a little disappointing, but this wasn't helped by the fact that I couldn't have the red pepper sauce as they upset my stomach. However, it was also let down by the potatoes being very under done. The Merlot was nice if rather pricy.

Awful , the restaurant was basically empty on a Saturday night but there was still multiple dishes missing from the menu. They didn’t even have fish and chips. Rubbish , avoid!’

The food was good but effectively being left for long periods of time without any servers appearing was just ridiculous. Especially as the restaurant was empty. Would we visit again, doubtful.

I asked Amersham House to host my father’s wake, attracted by the bright, fresh, informal interior and the friendly, likeable attitude of the staff I met on a speculative visit. It took a bit of thinking about because this was obviously an out-of-the-ordinary request. In the end we agreed a fixed per-head price, and Lina closed to other customers for the day to be able to deliver best-quality service to our group. We were welcomed with coffee and pastries ahead of the funeral so that guests travelling a distance could feel relaxed and refreshed. After the funeral we had a drinks reception with nibbles, using the lovely side space to circulate. We had a table for our photo albums and flowers. Then we had a sit-down dinner: we had chosen a straightforward main meal with choice of desserts so that the kitchen could produce that many meals in a sensible timeframe. Lina brought in extra staff for us and Tom, Sidney, Eleanor and Courtney looked after us very well, checking in frequently to see if anyone wanted more drinks or anything. The food was delicious and presented swiftly, so well done to the whole kitchen and serving team (I didn’t remember everyone’s name). Our guests were able to circulate and chat as the table seating arrangements are so flexible. Everything was done to a beautiful standard with no fuss and in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. It was exactly as my generous, fun-loving dad would have wanted. Thankyou Amersham House.

Terrible. Waited 20 mins for coffee then 45 for food that arrived cold sent back and then left after 1hr as lost the will to wait. Coffee was nice, but at £3.30 for a small coffee (which was refunded in the end), expect much better.

Service very poor. Wait long for ordered goods. Coffee cold. Expensive for what you get.

A great lunch today I had the Pesto Linguine with chicken and it was superb A good vibe to the premises with excellent service attentive and pleasant Would like to return!

Good food but overpriced. Need to get the balance right as very competitive area doe eateries. Potential to be successful

Had a lovely experience - largely down to the majestic Ukrainian waiter who served us, unparalleled alphadom led to impeccable service. Evening was a cracker! Chicken liver pâté however was not up to scratch with a greater concentration of butter than was desired.

Lovely meal with great steaks and service

Great location and great food service was exceptional, highly recommended

This is a review of Amersham House (not Côte, which used to operate from the same premisses). The place has been given a change in personality in the form of a different and brighter and more informal colour scheme, but the old place is just there beneath the surface. This is a problem because the food has not kept to the same high standard as Côte. We had breakfast there and ordered avocado toast and poached egg and smoked salmon poached egg muffin, but the eggs were not properly cooked and the muffin was soggy. It all felt a bit more like a greasy spoon than a restaurant. The only thing we were entirely happy with was the cinnamon bun and that comes from Nena craft bakery. They also add 10% gratuity to the bill, which I really don't like. Overall a slightly disappointing experience. This may have been a bad day because there are plenty of good reviews of this place 🤷🏻‍♂️.

We went thinking it was still Cote Brasserie which we've always enjoyed. Apparently it's still connected but the menu has changed away from being French inspired. Service was fine but the food was disappointing, ordinary and expensive for what it was. Like Amersham but will go for a pub lunch next visit I think.

OK food but extremely slow service.

We visited for the first time today for lunch. We went for the set menu with just two choices per course from the à la carte menu but nonetheless of great quality and value. Service friendly and atmosphere pleasant, including great care taken over gluten free food for one of us. A look at the main menu and the wine list suggest another visit (fully intended) will be very enjoyable.

Lovely food and charming service.

Had a disappointing meal a couple of weeks back. Staff only gave us one option of the specials (transpired there were others) and didnt really seem to know what was going on - would have chosen a different meal if I had known. We were both served raw lamb which was replaced with very dry carvery lamb. Fair enough they tried to solve the situation but neither lamb dish was taken off the bill at the end which was a minimum. All seemed rather chaotic and disorganised. Wont be back in a hurry

Unfortunately our experience today was less than average. That’s all I can say at best.

The food was very good. I had pasta with grilled chicken, my son had the Cesar salad. It was both very good, and a reasonable price too. The service was superb- they waited on us hand and foot, and they were very polite and nice to talk to. The restaurant is very very cozy, both inside and outside. I give it my best recommandations!

Great little place in old Amersham. The French toast was so good. Friendly staff!

Food was very good and reasonably priced. Service was excellent and all the people was kind and gave you what you asked for.

My hubby and I visited Amersham House for the first time and we had a late breakfast. I had the full English, hubby had the vegetarian full English. Exceptionally good value for money. Fresh, quality ingredients. Everything was delicious. Only negative comment...vegetarian breakfast was missing the smashed avocado (we only realised afterwards!) and the poached eggs were overcooked and hard.
