Slow service and the food was cold. When there with my son this morning, it took 30mins for the breakfast to arrive and when if did the egg on my breakfast was cooked to within an inch of it's life and it, and the rest of the breakfast was stone cold. not great for c.£15

We called in for drinks before going to the theatre. I ordered a cafatiere and my wife ordered a glass of wine. Our order arrived with a bottle of water which had been opened. We never ordered water, however we go charged £5.55 with our bill. I should have complained, but I didn't. If there is a next time I shall pipe up.

Food was good (when it did eventually arrive), service was terrible. It took long and the waiters were rude and condescending. We had 3 different people waiting on our table and it was still poor service, only one of them was friendly and provided good service.

Unfortunately the service was so slow/poor it ruined the meal and experience. We arrived for a brunch and promptly ordered 3 breakfasts hot drinks and juices. That was as good as it got. The drinks then took 15 minutes to arrive, a pot of tea without milk and a coffee without sugars. This arrived separately a few minutes later with 2 sugar cubes on a saucer as if they are trying to save money??? The food then took over 30mins to arrive so we picked it up at this point with the staff. Despite the restaurant not being busy (5-6 tables) - they apologised and immediately offered to take something off the bill (as if it seems to happen a lot). We asked for the service to be removed which they did. We won’t be returning as this Cote was nothing like the one in Guildford. Reasonable food let down by such poor service.

French cuisine is my favourite one. Usually I book a table at the Ivy Marlow or Winchester but because of Theatre tickets and lack of time my friend insisted on going to Côte brasserie in Woking. She is from Reading, according to her Côte is quite ok. That’s why she was really surprised after visiting Woking brasserie. First, this is unacceptable to wait 30 min for a breakfast. We left our car close to restaurant and that’s why I could see chefs smoking 2-3 cigarettes when we were waiting for a food. Let’s start from the brunch. My English breakfast has overcooked fried eggs (almost burned at the edges), dry beans without no taste, dry sausage and few pieces of mushrooms and potatoes. The tomatoes were cold. One slice of bacon cut in 2 is still one slice, not 2. My friend’s French breakfast: sausage was cold inside, scrambled eggs with no salt and half portion of brioche ( only one slice for whole breakfast!). The same ridiculous, small amount of mushrooms, definitely not a portion. We also ordered a side of avocado and we asked for no chilli. Instead of that we have been served a disgusting spread of guacamole definitely with some peppers. I can get the same from the shop. We also ordered a hollandaise souse. Not freshly made, runny and tasteless. Overall: Overpriced, tasteless food and waiters not interested in doing their job. You except better service after spending so much money. There is also a communication issues between waiters and chefs becouse the swearing in polish and agressive English comments were so loud that we could hear it nex to our table. My fried is polish so for her it was double disrespectful and disgusting. That was my first and LAST visit at Côte.

I love that the restaurant took time to speak to us since my wife has a seafood allergy. In the US, they don’t that. It feels more personal when they do this. Timing of food was perfect.

Made a Tripadvisor account just so I could leave this review. My family is visiting from abroad, and my mother wanted to take us out to eat to celebrate some exciting achievements in our lives. I don’t usually eat at restaurants because I can’t eat alliums (garlic, onions, leeks, spring onions, shallots, etc.) and they’re in basically everything, and in my personal experience, restaurants are pretty cavalier about it. Against my better judgement, I agreed to go out for brunch. I figured, how bad can it be? Breakfast food is usually relatively safe. I was feeling savoury, and I fancied eggs. I told the server about my dietary requirements, and he very helpfully brought out a tablet with the ingredients for me to peruse. I fancied the eggs florentine, but they contained garlic, so I eschewed those and instead selected the smashed avocado toast with poached eggs. I also ordered scrambled eggs off the kids menu for my baby, and requested no salt because she’s less than a year old and therefore not supposed to eat salt yet. They apparently forgot about our food order, which was kinda weird considering that we were one of only three tables in the place. A different server came by 30 minutes after our food order had been taken and was surprised to hear that we were waiting for food. She was very kind and checked on our food for us, which we appreciated. Our initial server came by to apologise and told us the food would be out in five minutes. To his credit, it was. Unfortunately, the baby’s eggs were salted (luckily I tasted some before giving them to her) and had to be replaced, which I felt bad about because I loathe food wastage. I bit into my smashed avocado toast and instantly the taste of garlic hit me. I got my husband to try it, and he agreed it tasted of garlic. My mother also tried it, and also tasted the garlic. I accosted the server and apologetically explained that although garlic was not in the list of ingredients for this item, it was very clearly present, and I therefore could not eat the food. By this time it was 11:30, over an hour since we had arrived at the restaurant, and I had not yet eaten a single thing since waking up at 6:30 and I was super hungry (which obviously is on me! I should have eaten breakfast, but I also didn’t think food would take so long). I ordered the french toast because that seemed like a safe bet even though I wasn’t in the mood for sweets. When my food finally arrived (after everyone else at the table had already finished eating), the server felt the need to get in a parting shot: “I read through the ingredients, and there’s no garlic in there. You’re just tasting the reaction of the avocado with the lime and the chilli.” That took me from being hungry and mildly annoyed to super angry. I had already told him that it wasn’t on the list of ingredients. I knew because I had read the list. I am not an idiot. I am from California, and I KNOW what avocado with lime and chilli tastes like. The flavour of garlic is both pungent and distinct. We all had tasted the food. Maybe if he had bothered to taste it, he would have realised that it contained garlic. Instead, he argued with me and treated me like a child after serving me food with an ingredient that I had clearly communicated I could not eat. He never apologised for serving me food that makes me ill. We went out to celebrate, but everyone was in a bad mood when we left. The food was average at best. The server was a jerk. I hope making yourself feel like a big man was worth making one of your patrons ill. I had never been here before today, and I will never be back.

Went with family on Saturday lunchtime. We hadn't booked though there were plently of seats as it wasn't half full. It's somewhere we have been numerous times in the past as they cater for special diets and it was the casting vote of a grandson whose birthday we were celebrating. Having turned up at noon, we finally left at 2.30 after 3 courses. The slowness of service overall was disappointing, and we noticed a couple gave up waiting and left before their meal eventually arrived. Attentive staff would have noticed earlier that the customers had gone. The meals themselves were OK though in two cases not as hot as they should have been. Just before the main course appeared a staff member came to apologise for the delay ( it was around an hour after all). If this is a new normal standard of customer service it will drive business away to other decent restaurants nearby. Sorry to be downbeat.

Fantastic pre-theatre dinner at Cote last night. We walked in with no booking at a busy time on a Saturday evening, but the staff ensured we got our preferred table on a lovely outdoor terrace. A complimentary round of Kir Royale’s was brought for each of us too, as it was my birthday, which was a lovely unexpected touch. Allergies were taken seriously and service was fantastic throughout. 3 of us had 2 courses each, and enjoyed all of them. Would particularly recommend the spring special of lamb whilst it’s still around. Courses were spaced out perfectly, meaning we were well on time for the theatre without feeling rushed. Honestly couldn’t fault them. Thank you to everyone at Cote Woking - we will see you again soon!

After receiving 3 out of 4 starters and waiting at least 10 mins for the fourth starter to arrive, (which we had to ask for) we then had to wait around 45 mins for our main courses to arrive. When they came (again after asking nicely how much longer we would have to wait) the waitress was off hand when she put the wrong dish in front of one of our group, suggesting her mistake was our fault. That being said, most of the staff were pleasant. The food was ok, much as you’d expect from a chain but I’m not sure I’d recommend Woking Cote to friends.

We ordered the pork belly and a chicken dish. The chicken dish had loads of meat but the veg was a bit lacklustre and overall the sauce had little flavour. The potatoes which came with the pork were good but the pork belly had almost no meat on it. The pudding portions were also tiny despite costing close to £8 each. The wine was also so so. Pleasant staff but otherwise underwhelming.

Very disappointing valentines meal. My girlfriend and I walk past this place a lot and thought we’d give it a go for valentines. Opted for the ‘sharer steak’ which was once of the gristliest bits of meat I’ve ever eaten. The food came out almost instantly which, as much as I appreciate prompt service, the spend at which this arrived was a little concerning. The sides were okay, but portion sizes were minimal, I counted 18 chips. At close to £100 for two people we expected a whole lot more coming from the quality of what we received. You can eat in some of Londons better steak restaurants for this price point and leave a whole lot more satisfied, at least I got a good jaw workout from the steak! With so many other good places to eat locally, at much more reasonable price points, I can’t imagine we’ll ever go here again.

I visited the restaurant on Monday the 5th of February 2024 with a friend. We were really excited as with the exception of their breakfast, their mussels and their calamari their food has always been great as well as their service however on Monday night (with the exception of their service) the food was atrocious. I ordered the beef bourghignon and it was as if someone had stored it in the fridge in the same plate a few days before. It was covered in a light white patina and it was room temperature. Absolutely horrible. My friend had the same experience with his food which I don't remember exactly what it's was but had a lot of lentils as a side. We both sworn that will never set foot there again. To add insult to injury I have been sick all night. Never EVER again.

Food was very good; service was quick and staff efficient and friendly, as we have found with all COTEs. It was possibly the quickest service of any COTE we've been to, BUT it was also the noisiest, which spoiled the atmosphere - there was no way we could have a proper conversation. I think the staff had even kept the background drum-music going, which was totally unnecessary. Next time we'll go somewhere else for our pre/post theatre meal.

We went for an early dinner at 4:30pm due to having just had a wonderful time at Woking panto for a Christmas treat with our 2 year old and her grandparents. We ordered some garlic bread to share for a starter and our mains all at the same time. My daughter’s meal arrived with the garlic bread even though we had requested it with the mains but that wasn’t a huge issue until 1 hour and 15 minutes later when there was still no sign of our mains arriving. My husband asked where the food was and the waiter made no apology but blamed his colleague for lack of communication as he had ‘just taken over’ our table - not our problem. Another long while later, we managed to catch the ‘acting manager’ for the evening to ask him where our food was. Again, we received absolutely no apology but were again told it was due to a colleague’s error and also because we ordered starters which delayed the main courses. I am not sure a bit of garlic bread between 4 people warrants over an hour wait for main meals. We’d finished all of our drinks and no one had asked if we wanted any more while we waited. All in all we were at the restaurant for almost 2 hours with no food in sight watching all of the tables fill up around us receiving their meals. When we decided enough was enough, we told the waiter to forget our order as we were tired of waiting, but still, unbelievably, not a single person in the restaurant apologised or even acknowledged that we were leaving. My husband approached the ‘acting manager’ on our way out to tell him we were going, and he had absolutely nothing to say to us. I have never witnessed such appalling service (or lack of) and it was so disappointing that we had an experience like this on what was supposed to be a festive family day out.

RAVA was a top tier server, she made me feel so welcome and really looked after me during my visit, if I owned a restaurant I would want all the staff to be like her!!!

Booked on line- although hadn’t received a confirmation message but this didn’t hinder at all, the team gave a very warm welcome - one of our party had an allergy - this was outstanding approach the team ran through the menu item safe to eat avoiding the specific allergen- quick ordering g meals delivered (the allergen meal clearly identified with cocktail flags) the meal itself wow delicious and hot and I mean hot temperatures!! Very efficient service with a professional approach we received from Team member Angus’.

A really lovely meal, shame our table was near the door, people were queuing to come in and kept the door open, letting the cold come in on a cold autumn evening

We had our favourite dinner there, on the Autumn menu Crab starter and Sea Bass for me. Crab and Confit Pork Belly for Richard.

This restaurant exceeded my expectations! The duck leg I ordered was cooked to perfection, and the crème brûlée was absolutely delightful. What's even better is that the prices were reasonable, the location was convenient, and the service was top-notch. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

Cold food, hard boiled poached eggs. Generally a big disapointment. Requested no toast on the brunch but nothing else offered as a replacement.

Had the loveliest evening here tonight, the service from Rava and Ricardo was excellent, they really went the extra mile to make us feel special. The food was absolutely delicious, all around very well worth a visit! 💜

We arrived at 12.30, on time for our booked table. We ordered quite quickly but waited for an hour for our meal, with no apology or explanation from the server. As we had a booking at the theatre, with the matinee starting at 2.30, the meal was rushed & not a relaxing experience with friends. This has put me off coming here again.

3 of us all had starters and a main meal of different steaks. Food very good and service was also very good.

Popped in on the off chance for a table for 4 on a busy Saturday evening. The restaurant was busy, good atmosphere. Greeted immediately and willingly provided a table for 60 mins hence. Happy with this and returned to be warmly greeted and sat with restaurant slightly less busy, albeit with vibrant atmosphere. Our party of 4 thoroughly enjoyed lamb rump, tuna necoise, tomato Tarte and a burger for a quick supper. Food was excellent, service spot on and whole thing reasonably priced. Good evening thank you.

Not made to feel very welcome when we didn't have a reservation, although there seemed to be plenty of empty tables. Lamb rump (£20) came rare, despite asking for medium/well done. It was pre-carved so not easy to rectify so decided to eat what I could. Waiter offered to remove my drink charge which was £10 off my bill which I thought was fair. One chipped glass. Another glass with lipstick on. Service slow. Eaten here many times, this was my worst experience.

I’ve always liked Cote but was disappointed in the Woking branch Sat 23/9/23. I had a birthday cake for my friend which they forgot about which meant it was no longer a surprise and when I challenged them about my ‘pink’ chicken they told me it was a vein and that they buy the best quality chicken. I don’t expect them to argue with me but either cook it a little longer or replace it. Wouldn’t return to that restaurant sadly due to the attitude of the staff.

Had a great meal. Food was good quality (fillet steak cooked perfectly). Special mention to a member of staff, Pompeii (I hope I’ve spelt his name correctly). Whilst he mentioned that he was in training, it’s clear that he is already extremely capable of offering great hospitality. Overall, a really good visit. We visit Côte from time to time and never come away disappointed.

What a lovely meal, the food was great we enjoyed every bite, and was able to take our leftovers home (as the portions were generous!), and our server Amelie was amazing and so accommodating, making the whole experience out with my family very special.

Saw a mouse or rat come out of the kitchen and the food just tasted bland and microwaved. Staff were uncooperative and condescending when I tried to bring these issues to their attention

Come in at 11 on a busy Saturday morning. One table left and was served very quickly despite how busy it was and had an amazing breakfast! The cappuccino I had was perfect. Everything hit the right spot! Will definitely be back when I'm working in the area :)

Called up for a delivery, the man said “I don’t know how long it’s gonna take, maybe 20 mins maybe 40 maybe an hour”… 1.5 hours go by I call them up to check, I said I didn’t mind how much longer as long as it’s on its way. The man said he didn’t have my order it’s the wrong shop. He checked my postcode again and the time I took the order he said ahhhh I found it then proceeded to tell me a similar but wrong order of the food. I tried to tell them that’s not quite right he shouted at me and said I’ve got the wrong store. I live alone on a golf course. And it was someone else who ordered to that exact shop… at that exact time… and gave them my exact postcode…. These guys are absolute plebs and I would recommend avoiding them. I can’t comment on the food… it never arrived….

The food was okay three out of the four members of the group all had upset stomachs afterwards till lunchtime the next day. presentation was good however this is twice in a row where I have been let down with how my stomach is after the curry here. I gave it a benefit of the doubt the first time, I don’t get this anywhere else. I will not be returning to this restaurant.
