"We went to Wagamama Salisbury for lunch, having been quite a few times before but not for several months. I’m not sure what might have changed but it was a real disappointment. On the plus side, the service was reasonable and both the tata squid and hoisin duck buns were tasty and quick to the table. However, the tantoman beef ramen and grilled chicken ramen were both very bland with broth that I can only describe as tasting like school dinner gravy. Both were left less than half finished. Equally, the chicken and prawn pad Thai was quite greasy and again, bland with no spice heat at all. The dish was saved through the addition of lashings of soy sauce and chilli flakes at the table, but that shouldn’t have had to have been the case. Despite seeing the ramen bowls hardly touched, our server didn’t ask if all was okay, they simply cleared the table and reminded me that I could pay via an app. All of this coming in at a whisker shy of £70 as well, (yes £70 for three noodle dishes and some squid balls) left a very bitter taste in my mouth, pun intended. I won’t be back."

Cote Brasserie Salisbury

Piatti • Full • Steak • French • Seafood

"We stumbled upon this brasserie after realising that the Italian restaurant nearby, where we had booked a table, was not a place we wanted to go to, as it didn't seem inviting at all... So we googled for a suitable alternative in the vicinity and found this brasserie, which we thought is always a good choice. And we certainly didn't regret it! Although the restaurant was quite full, they were able to accommodate us without a reservation. Service throughout was very prompt and friendly! Very good menu options, and with the waiter also very flexible to respond to requests for substitutes of side dishes. Typically French brasserie atmosphere with great food and service. What more could one ask for?"

"The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the bruschetta starter which was fresh and full of flavor with perfect texture. All the dishes we tried were outstanding, but the standout was the half chicken with dips. While not the cheapest option, the quality of the food makes it reasonable value for money. However, our experience was marred by poor service - despite multiple attempts to get the attention of waitstaff, it took four of them to finally bring us a glass of house red during our main course. In contrast, the gentleman next to us received his glass of water within 30 seconds. This made us feel like second-rate customers and unfortunately, it overshadowed the excellent food. While we commend the chef, it's a shame that their hard work is let down by others. Despite this, our experience may not be typical and so I have left a rating of 4 stars."

"Lovely Turkish restaurant located around the corner from Salisbury train station. Quite quiet on a Saturday evening, but service was nice. Staff friendly and attentive. Food was lovely- and received a bowl of pitta bread before starters, but would have loved additional bowls of bread with a variety of dips. Meals came in a good timely manner after starters and portion sizes was adequate. Lovely tender pieces of meat, halloumi was delicious. Rather expensive though, chips could not be substituted for rice. Would return but too pricey. Thankyou"

"We have been to Anokaa before and always enjoyed the food. This time was no exception and we were able to introduce our friends to it, and I’m sure we will all be back. It was very quiet, being the first Sunday of the New Year, but the service was excellent and the food very special. Thank you"
