Thai Rice Canterbury Canterbury

This restaurant is part of a chain, which is not always a negative thing as some chains are great. Unfortunately, this particular location did not meet my expectations. The food was decent, the service lacking enthusiasm, and the atmosphere felt dull and lifeless. It's worth a try if you're curious, but I personally won't be returning.

The staff at this restaurant are friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. Our server, Bradley Lains, was pleasant and really added to our dining experience. We visited on a quiet Wednesday afternoon at 5pm, which helped create a nice atmosphere and contributed to our 4-star rating. We enjoyed the Fish Parmentier, Chicken Paillard salad, and truffle fries, all accompanied by the house wines.

I have been to Cote restaurants in various cities. The Canterbury my local one, and all have been consistently great. I always know I will get great food, service and value for money. No matter how busy the restaurant, it's usually really worthwhile. Today was the exception. The restaurant was not at all busy, but the service was terrible. Nice people, but more interested in chatting and hydrating themselves than the customers. I had to ask 3 members of staff for some water when I arrived. They informed us they had only just put the wine in the fridge so it was warm. We were given an ice bucket. The majority of the ice had melted and there was a maximum of 3.5 of water in it. It was also splashed on my friend's clothes. I had to ask them to clear our table at the end of the meal. It is not what I expect from Cote. Very disappointed as this is a treat for my friend and I. Will be thinking twice before going back. I never write bad reviews, but I feel this warrants it. Such a shame!

Very good French cuisine on English soil. Nice service and good location. Great place to dine with friends or family.

Food really pretty good for a chain. The minute steak and frites was much better than I expected, tender, tasty, nicely cooked. Cocktails are a little wishy washy but the wine was good. Service fine, toilets 2 maybe even 3 flights up, so prepare yourself
