This was perhaps the best meal I have ever had. I started with a glass of Bordeaux and a warm beet salad. I had the beef cheek and did not have to use my knife once. The spicing was perfect as was the service by all the staff. This includes the hostess, the waiter, and the various people who attended to my table. there are several reviews on yelp regarding the service at this place and I consider them all completely 100% wrong based on what I experienced. Looking at some of the pictures from these posts, I can see why these people may have been treated rudely as they do not seem like the best patrons and entitled. read more

The location is great, just by the Thames. When I went for dinner, service was very friendly, the food tasty and I was seated by a window overlooking the Thames with a view of Windsor castle! Reasonable prices too. read more

The last time I was at a Cote was in October of 2015 when I was studying in Central London. I had remembered having a wonderful meal so I was delighted to get to go again during my recent trip in September 2023. I was with my parents and we met some friends who live right across from this location in Windsor. My whole group ordered from the Prix Fixe menu, which was either 2 COURSES £16.95 or 3 COURSES £20.95. We all did the 3 items. Starters- *CARROT & ROASTED SQUASH SOUP (Drizzled with parsley oil, served with toasted sourdough baguette) -- I ordered this and through it was nice on a slightly cold day *SMOKED SALMON FISH CAKE (With mustard sauce and a parsley, shallot & caper garnish) * PEAR & WALNUT SALAD (Pickled pear, baby spinach, endive & toasted walnuts, drizzled with a Roquefort dressing) -- My parents order this and said it was refreshing Main- *SEABASS ROUGE (In a red pepper beurre blanc with sautéed baby potatoes, endive & black olive tapenade) -- Everyone had this and it was wonderful! I will dream about this dish Desserts- *PLUM CLAFOUTIS (Plums baked in an almond custard with warm berry coulis & vanilla ice cream) -- This was heavenly *CRÊPE AU CHOCOLAT (With warm dark chocolate sauce & blackberries, topped with orange crème fraîche) -- This was nice but could have made this on my own Overall, lovely eatery and hope to be back soon! read more

This was a really cute spot near Windsor Castle. I was in the area for business and its such a quaint area with shops, restaurants, a river, and cobblestone streets. Food and cocktail here was amazing. Great spot for a date night or intimate dinner with friends. Service - 4/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Food 5/5 Price $$$ Parking 2/5 - parking is not easy but its meant to be a walkable area, there paid meter parking. read more

Personally, I didn't really like this place, namely because they didn't take cash, but then again that seems to be the thing in England these days, which I have to admit is actually becoming rather annoying. Look, it's got a really nice location, and there is a lovely balcony overlooking the river, so it is a pretty nice place to have a coffee, though they don't seem to be all that happy if you come in here just to have a coffee. Oh, and they automatically assumed I wanted hot milk, which was quite annoying as well. read more

A very lovely dinner despite some constraints in the kitchen. Due to delivery issues on the bank holiday, per my server, the menu was severely limited. Despite that I was able to have a delicious dinner my first night in Windsor. Service was good although not super attentive. read more

I met up with my friends 2 bars next to this place and noticed a girl staring at us from this brasserie. I thought this was a bit odd but brushed it off and sat down only to find out that brasserie windsor allowed one of their employees to say that she wouldn't serve them. And that was the girl that was fixating on our table. Me sitting here thinking in 2022 stuff like this doesn't happen so I tell them we go back and try to speak to the owner of the establishment. My friends explained they had tried and the employee followed them in telling them "you should just go" while laughing and putting her hands in het ears like a child singing "lalala" when my friends were asking if this was normal behaviour. All this in front of the "responsible" one of this establishment. Shocked by this I said no we're going back there and we're asking for the number of the boss to inform him of what is going on because I couldn't believe a boss allowed this to happen. I suggested we all film in case it happened again. What happened next was unbelievable.. not only did I find out the guy my friends talked to was really the owner but he really didn't seem to care. In the meantime the girl followed us in straight away saying she was going to call the cops because we came back and continuously telling my friends she was more then in her right which as you can imagine made the tension build up really quickly.. the girl really wouldn't let us talk calmly to her boss and I've never witnessed a boss not care to that extent, he never asked her to calm down, he barely even responded to us. To the point that at one moment when voices were raised because she kept threatening me and my friends we decided to leave because we sensed it was getting out of hand.. she even picked up the salt as if she was going to throw it. The fact that they kept saying that my friends needed to calm down and I quote were being "uncivilised" but not once checked their employee.. I'm disgusted and disappointed, I've always been able to talk calmly with people and come to a resolve but this situation made even my blood boil... I wouldn't recommend anyone to support these people. read more

Service was mediocre at best, ordered the liver pate it had no flavor, child kids meal fries were super hard and cold, fish sticks was terrible, got chicken kids meal instead, chicken was extremely dry. We got a steak, and the cod. I have never been to a restaurant that messed up cod this bad or pepper steak. I asked for water 3 times, the server responded with she can't temper all orders, she needs to write it down. WATER I am so disappointed walked out hungry. read more

Had a corporate meeting and we were recommended this restaurant for one of our dinners. We were told we had to pre-order our meal since we had a group over 10. When we arrived, they didn't acknowledge that they knew who we were. The food was cold, the service was worse. The server was definitely in a bad news and it was probably because the man working with her was extremely rude to her and us. Basically brought out the plates and flung them on the table, he kept screaming at her and snatching plates out of her hand. You could tell her didn't want to be working that night. If it had not been a corporate dinner I would have walked out and left the food on the table. Horrible service, horrible food! I would NEVER ... EVER recommend this restaurant. read more

Excellent food, coffee and location. Enjoying brunch in the sun by the river...good service as well! read more

Disappointing receptionist service. We were passing by around 4.30pm and just wanted to grab a quick drink. Saw loads of empty tables and we asked if we could sit there for a drink, and the waiter asked us to go upstairs to check, only to be told by the receptionist that it was a 15 minutes wait as they needed to set up the tables. So we went back downstairs to the riverside tables to wait, and the waiter allowed us to sit anywhere and was just taking our order when the receptionist turned up and said that table was for four people and we had to wait another five minutes while she decided where to put us. Finally after standing around looking at empty tables that were all set up, she showed us a table to sit down. Five minutes later, the same table she was saving for 4 people was given to 2 people. So was not sure why she refused to seat us there in the first place. The waiters were really friendly and welcoming but the receptionist was unwelcoming and a bit of a tyrant? Nice location but not welcomed by front of house. Pity. read more

This is a beautiful location right on the river with views across to the wall surrounding Windsor Castle. On a clear night the lighting is very romantic and relaxing. We have eaten here a number of times when stuck at a Heathrow hotel with few fine dining options. 20 mile drive via a hotel arranged car service is a very comfortable way to go. This is French through and through so you can expect to spend several hours if having multiple courses A La Carte. Have enjoyed fresh truffles over pasta, as well as duck, and steak tartare, along with an extensive wine selection and a wonderful selection of fresh cheese. A wonderful Chateauneuf du Pape was available and well deserved after a long day closing contracts. We have enjoyed since this was "The House on the River" (I believe) many years ago. A nice treat if you can bear the attitude of some of the French wait staff. Enjoy! read more

Great location doesnt quite make up for middle of the road food. Service was good although as out with the family (early 6 o'clock meal), we timed it well! Another good value "pre-7 menu" hit the mark for my son, who went for the mackeral rillette (probably the star of the meal) followed by the steak and mousse (where does a 7 year old put all that food?!?!). The risotto on the kids menu was only so so, and the seafood parmentier was enjoyed by my wife. I went for the calamari...which was good, but the chicken was disappointingly bland with the side vegetables either overcooked or too much garlic (on the spinach). All in all...the meal was fine, nothing mind blowing...but nothing terrible...just "ok" read more

This place is great . Right on the Thames by Windsor castle , the place has a variety of eating spaces that each offer a slightly different ambience . We were a party of 8 and did not book . Great service by the host to accommodate us and everyone loved the food . When in Windsor pop in and grab a bite to eat and quick drink before popping in to see her Majesty, lol read more

Party of five waited around 15 minutes to get our drinks order, and then for more than 50 minutes further before getting our food. Other tables have been served and even left in the time that we have been waiting for our mains. I'm quite disappointed in this quality of service. After speaking to the manager, our food came promptly and was delicious. And the food was on the house! read more

The service is SO SLOW! If you have something else to do in Windsor, like maybe see the Castle that you actually came here for, you probably want to eat somewhere else. read more

This place is okay. The food is average and the service is REALLY slow. I've been twice and while I love the location and view it's hard to understand why it takes so long to even place a drink order. The lack of attention as a patron is my chief concern and why I won't return. read more

Wait service was awful. We were hurried along with everything for our meal, then sat for 45 minutes until we finally obtained our check. Meal was average. read more

The place is ideal, the food so so and the bill a little too salty. This overrated restaurant is good at best for corporate events, but the chef is not doing exceptionally good. That plus the prices and the lack of character makes the whole experience largely forgettable. This is a chain, and it shows. My scallop was nothing short of a disaster, worst ever. Couldn't believe that such a simple meal, escalope milanese, could be ruined. read more

Everything we had was fabulous. Six Americans walking about stumbled upon this place. Seafood stew, butternut squash risotto, mushroom crepes, tuna, and everything else we had was amazing. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area. Great view of the river as well. read more

The food is really nice but the service is so slow we're waiting 45 minutes to get the bill and pay

What a beautiful setting and view. It is too bad that the service and the food did not live up to our expectations. We were seated on the outside patio and given flyaway paper napkins because they ran out of the cloth ones that I saw on other patrons' laps. The main courses were B+ and the drinks were sufficient, although I had to ask for a twist of lemon in my kir royale. My complaint about the rubbery obviously reheated crepe served as a dessert was me with "I'm sorry you didn't like it." No replacement or compensation was offered. Our group of four all agreed that we should have dined somewhere else on our one day in Windsor. read more

Starters were fine but the main courses were definitely lower than the standard. The foods were like being reheated as the steak was too wet and the chicken breast was too dry.even the plates were too hot to be touched. Services were just like the foods.....the only thing good was the riverside view.....never gonna be here again. read more

Best creme caramel I have ever had, beautiful view and friendly staff. Would come back here next time I'm in the area

Nice dish and good service. Only don't know why the menu said £11 for 3 course but got charged £13.9 in the end.
