3 /5 Alexandra I: 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.
