    First time we have eaten in Côte. It was our wedding anniversary, table was set with this in mind and we were treated to a glass of bubbly each. Good service, delicious food and lovely ambience.

    Great food, service and value, as always. Without prompting, waiter offered top up of free-flowing fries, which was appreciated. Being picky, I thought the whitebait portion was on the small side. Apart from that, really, really good.

    Love a Côte and this one was top notch. Excellent service, delicious food and the Prix Fixe menu is terrific VFM. The fish parmentier was full of fish & prawns and the chicken was in a fabulous sauce.

    Had a very enjoyable meal here last night. Passed on the starter and went straight into the mains: a delicious confit of pork belly, with savoy cabbage and gratin potatoes. Oh my! Absolutely fantastic, only bettered by a large glass of Graves (red bordeaux). One meal I would definitely recommend. Can I just say too that the service was impeccable. Thank you Cote Bournemouth!
