As always very good value but we thought the food was not quite as tasty as usual at Cote. The location is excellent for the Royal Albert Hall and the staff were very courteous.

I'm a great fan of Côte. Food, (as always very good value), ambiance and friendly, efficient service on the part of our waiter were up to scratch. But we had to wait so long for our desserts and coffee that we had to bolt them down in order to get to the Royal Albert Hall in time for the Prom concert. The meal took an hour and fifty minutes. Not the first time this has happened at this branch.

What fantastic staff and food! We were difficult customers as we had two children in push chairs so we had to disrupt other diners to get by. The staff were supportive and incredibly helpful! I cannot rate then all higher. The food was very good too!

Service as good as always but food was a bit below par. Carrots were raw with a bit of melted butter drizzled over them. Not al dente but quite raw. Not cooked at all.

Great restaurant. Just a shame that some of the tables are crammed in, making it difficult to get up and down without knocking in to other diners.

It was an unusually busy Sunday evening due to a concert at the Albert Hall, but the service was as good and polite as always. The food was good and we got our requested table. It’s a favourite of ours for just this reason.

Very busy restaurant used mainly by pre theatre goers. Food is good but there are too many tables and we were sitting in a busy corridor. If you are thinking of eating here best to book somewhere else as a back up and you can decide when they show you your table.

Love going to Cote in High Street Ken. The food, lunch in this case, is always delicious and lots of choice. You can either have the set menu at either 2 or three courses or just choose something from the a la carte. They do proper fresh mint tea and it’s always packed so a good atmosphere. In summer they also put some tables outside. The staff are charming , friendly and very attentive. My favourite place in this area.

Arrived ahead of reservation time, but this did not seem a problem for staff who throughout our leisurely lunch were friendly, courteous and attentive (but not overly so). Food excellent: our guest thought portions on large side, but we all enjoyed the meal and ambience. We have lunched here before with satisfaction on every occasion, but now felt that the previously good food was even better. Strongly recommend.
