Cote - Canterbury

New Year's Eve Dinner for 2. The first time I have dined in a Cote for some time and the food was spot on. This was a fixed menu but there was plenty of choice. Even thought the restaurant was busy the service was attentive without being rushed. I'd happily come back any time.

One of the most baffling experiences ever... Came for smoked salmon and eggs, and a granola. Waited 35 minutes, during which time the table next to us received, then sent back a breakfast (twice because the hollandaise sauce was cold. They left without paying for it. When we asked how much longer, there was some consternation and then ten minutes later they appeared, so Im guessing it was forgotten. The eggs were burnt, and the salmon was cooked (looked fried??! ..Im genuinely without any clue as to how this will have happened. We left without eating, and the guy who dealt with us was really apologetic but the (I'm guessing manager just sat next to us playing with her laptop. Madness. Don't know what the deal was in the kitchen, but something wasn't right!

Been there a couple times and the food is awesome. Order a French 75 drink. It is wonderful to sit outside. Sadly the bathrooms are on the 3rd floor which you have to take the stairs

My husband and I celebrated both our tenth wedding anniversary and his birthday at Cote Canterbury on Saturday night. We were lucky enough to be able to get a reservation in spite of leaving it a little late to book. The service was excellent attentive yet laid back too. The food though! It was absolutely incredible. At the end of our meal, my husband was given a lovely little chocolate pudding, thoughtfully decorated with 'Happy Birthday '. A lovely touch : We enjoyed it so much, we are already looking for an excuse to return!

We decided to dine at Côté on a whim and were pleased to find that they were accepting reservations for an early dinner. The atmosphere was welcoming and accommodating when we requested to be seated further back in the restaurant rather than near the front door. The service was attentive but not overbearing. As we waited for our main courses of sea bream and confit duck, we enjoyed olives and a glass of wine. I requested to have the duck without orange sauce, which was easily accommodated. The red cabbage and potatoes dauphinois were perfect accompaniments. Although I didn't have dessert, my friend thoroughly enjoyed her spicy crème brûlée. Overall, we were very satisfied with our dining experience.
