Six of us had Christmas dinner at Cote in Windsor tonight and I have a few things to say. The food was hit and miss. The chicken was okay, the béarnaise sauce was too buttery (on the hollandaise-y side with not enough tarragon), and the burgers were too poor in presentation and taste too. See for yourself. For the £18 it should have been served with a lot more to be desired for. On the other hand, the creme brûlée was superb. Now, the service. The waitress either hated our guts or she is like that always. I guess I wanted to feel like I was welcomed in the restaurant and I suppose I needed a smile from her. One would have been enough. Saying that, she served us well, it was just that, a smile was needed. She is, after all, working as a server. Oh and one last thing. We were charged £1 for charity and on the bill it was added under “Mains away” which is a ridiculous place to put that charge. (See image) Without even informing us of the fact. Mains away. That’s funny. I mean what, you call our mains, and charge us for the call? Pft.

We visited the Windsor restaurant for our wedding anniversary today. We were pleased to be welcomed by friendly staff and taken to our table by the window with a great view of the Thames, situated in the main restaurant by the window, as requested. We were pleased to receive 2 complementary glasses of cremant and ordered our food. We enjoyed sharing the potted crab and our delicious mains of beef bourginon with mash and steak and chips. We finished the meal with the tasty pistachio creme brulee. A lovely dining experience to celebrate our anniversary before our walk and shop in Eton and Windsor. Thanks for the fab service.

We were fortunate to have a seat next to the windows where we were able to see the river and the castle where the view was magnificent. The food was not as great as I hoped as the reviews that I have seen had gotten my hopes up. The chicken I got was tender but was quite oily. The muscles in the Breton fish stew had large shells but the actual muscles inside were quite small. The stew was also a bit to salty for me. The sour dough bread that came with the dishes were not that great either as the bread was too dense and dry. The waiter was friendly and helpful. Overall, I’d recommend this restaurant more for those who prioritize a great view and are willing to pay a premium for it over food quality and value. Personally, I don’t think it’s worth the money.

Being right next to the Thames is superb but the amount of wasps that came in through the open windows was unsettling. This did ruin the atmosphere, the view was amazing, the service was good. The food was hot and miss. My starter was amazing but had a bone in and when I pointed this out nothing was said, the main course we didn’t realise you had to order veg separately so it was literally just a main and my family had the chicken and found it a little dry. The desserts were fantastic. I would return but maybe in the winter without the wasps.

Côte is always an assurance but I was very happy with the service. We had specific dietary needs and the waitress was helpful and accommodated our requests in a very professional and friendly way. Food is very good, tasty and there is a nice selection with fresh ingredients. Location wise, it's a great place to spend some time, 5 min walking from Windsor Castle.

What a wonderful place! We booked a table in advance through Google, had the opportunity to sit outside. The staff was very friendly, service was quick and done the right way! We tried some of the cocktails: Fleur Spritz 5 out of 5! The food was amazing as well, the salmon especially! We were full at the end and couldn’t try desserts but there will be a next time! I suggest you prebook so you don’t have to wait! Also the place was clean and tidy! The atmosphere with the river right next to you - romantic and cosy!

Stopped in for lunch and were seated quickly which was great. The food was pretty good all around, I personally enjoyed the vegetarian French onion soup which was super flavorful and a big portion, and my tuna nicoise was also great. One star is off because of the service. While nice and answered our questions, our waitress did not check on us very much and we had walked in at 11:30 and were almost late for our 2:00 Windsor castle tickets because even though we asked four times to pay our server did not come over and just kept saying that we already asked and to wait. Overall the food was good, service could improve.
