The place is warm and nicely located on the water. I say warm because they had a heater going right above the door as we walked in from the cold, wet, evening. The host greeted up and asked if we had reservations on that fine Saturday evening; we did not. He found us a table anyway but told us that he needed it back in 2 hours (no problem). Our server came along and took our drink orders fairly quickly. She was attentive, but not overly, for the rest of the evening. Our food was good. The kids pasta dish was pretty bland, but that was probably on purpose. My goat cheese salad was very good. So was the chicken and walnut salad my friend had. I think that the only complaint was from my husband who thought his baked crepe with mushrooms was a bit too greasy. His French Onion soup was excellent though. The presentation of the food was great. I have added some pics. read more

I dislike this place for poor service, misleading menu depictions, and overall not that tasty food. No one was even slightly warm or welcoming when we entered the restaurant. It was not busy and people working their were avoiding eye contact with us while waiting at the door and wasn't even given a hello just a hère pointing to the closest table. The menu has " Specials " which are printed in a misleading way on the menu and made the lunch much more expensive then expected. Which also the servers were extremely uncouth about explaining. The béarnaise sauce was so sweet it tasted more like cake frosting. This meal was almost double the price I expected with poor service and not even good food. I would strongly recommend you go anywhere around. We made the mistake for you. read more

Comfortable restaurant with a good choice on the menu. French cuisine done acceptably. The Kingston Cotè has a great team who are always welcoming and attentive. Summer time is great to sit outside enjoying a bottle of wine (between two of us, before you judge) and the charcuterie platter! read more

We threw a birthday party late in the afternoon. The service, the food and the ambiance were excellent. We had a great memorable time and all the people present commented on the great meal and time they had. Highly recommended! read more

Visited as a large group of 13, the atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely! It was very busy, so glad we booked, but it was a Saturday evening so busy is to be expected! Waiter and waitress were very attentive. The food, on the whole, was lovely. The complimentary bread was fresh and topped up when finished which was a nice touch. The staff were great, even though the restaurant was busy. Calamari for starter was very well done, crispy and crunchy with a great tartar sauce to accompany. Very well presented! Melon and parma ham was very fresh too. The other end of the table also seemed happy with their starters (mussels, tiger prawns). Mains were also great, although one steak was stone cold in the middle (one of the party told us this has happened to him a few times when visiting this restaurant, once sending the steak back 4 times because it was so cold!). The tuna nicoise was bar far the best tuna salad I have ever had, the tuna fillet grilled to absolute perfection and I would highly recommend it to anyone! It was done medium rare, and fell apart (in the good way!) when I cut into it. Safe to say I was very very impressed by it. Not all of us ordered starters, but those that did said that they were lovely. The creme brulee was a particular favourite! Whilst it was quite pricey, it was nice as a special evening out. I'd go again, but only for a special occasion. read more

Had a great meal sat by the river Thames. Nice sunny day, sat outside. Had the lunch menu - 3 courses for £15. Good service even though the place was rammed. Will visit again the next time I'm in London. read more

As a group of five ladies on a day out from sidcup we were enjoying the best breakfast ever especially the vegetarian breakfast, everything was wonderful, ambiance, location and staff attention. Unfortunately, one of the "girls" Became ill and an ambulance was called and we couldn't finish our meal. However, we cannot thank the staff (in particular Matt the manager) and other diners (including two lovely nurses) for their wonderful help and support. What a lovely bunch of people - thank you all for looking after us so well. Would definitely recommend and would love to go back again when our friend is better. read more
