In December, it's a busy time of year with Christmas parties etc. but the service coped well and looked after our special request with tact - it was real customer service at its best. The December menu meal was excellent value. Chapeau Côte, Kensington.
Brilliant as always. ...great staff, great food. ... great company.
Good place Regolar franch food Gays kindly Faster service in a beautiful atmosphere
We only had time for one course but we all enjoyed moulds and chicken before rushing off to a concert. The noise level is fine in front of house.
Not quite as good as usual mainly due I think to it being over busy (time of year and a Friday) Their previous meat supplier went bankrupt I was told and they are struggling finding a reliable replacement. To judge by my rather tough steak they have not found one yet. Will return in the New Year.
Extra good food tonight. Liked the selection on the new menu.
great service and very good Gluten Free choices on offer .
Really lovely staff and servers, attentive even though the restaurant was full. Food as always was excellent, service was quick considering how busy it was. Will definitely be going back, really nice evening. Thank you
We had a very pleasant meal before going to the Royal Albert Hall. There were 14 of us, so a large group, but we had excellent service from the waiting staff; drinks, meals, coffees etc all delivered swiftly and accurately. We'll be back!
Excellent food and good service, perfect for a pre-theatre dinner
Excellent service and good value food too Always visit when in London
We visited Cotes High Street Kensington before going to the Royal Albert Hall. The service was quick, we were never left thinking we might be late. The food was delicious and service excellent. Would definitely dine there again
Excellent food great value and really helpful and friendly staff Easy to get to from the high street
Reliable delicious food, excellent service and warm ambience with monthly varied menu
Very enjoyable quick dinner before a show. No real wait & charming staff.
Always a lovely dining experience. Had the christmas set menu , which was excellent. staff always attentive
As usual the food was great and the staff were very efficient. Enjoyed the meal very much
The service was friendly and efficient and the menu adequately catered for our needs and the chosen food was delivered to the table promptly. We are a regular visitors to Cote Restaurants in other parts of the country and will continue to be.
Despite arriving 40 minutes early we were warmly welcomed and shown straight to out table. We were asked straight away if we would like our complementary cocktails prepared, which was a nice touch. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant as perfect for any visiting the Royal Albert Hall or Hyde Park.
We have dined here twice in the last week and enjoyed it both times. Food was great, service excellent and ambiance really friendly.
Handy location, food very good staff pleasant restaurant very busy
Nice atmosphere - buzzy without being frantic. Excellent menu, choice of two reasonably priced set menus as well as a la carte. Good portion sizes and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
Our waiter was very nice the food was grate. Very noisy.
We did enjoy ourselves and had a delicious meal! The potatoes Dauphinois are delicious as was my dish of pork belly. The service is very friendly, professional and altogether top notch - always. It's also a great location, situated in a lovely cul-de-sac off Kensington High street at Kensington palace end, close to the Royal Albert Hall.
My friends and I come here every six months. We have tried other restaurants but this Cote is perfect for what we want.
Lovely food , very friendly staff, good service Great Buzz🤗
Great food and fast service, very authentic and enjoyable for a table of 8.
Very good food. Very good service. Very good value! A gem!
We love Cote! This experience was just below par. There was nobody to treat us at the front reception, so we had to stand around to try and get noticed. The kitchen ran out of green beans, we had ordered 3 portions only to receive 1 and a 15minute delay before a waiter said the kitchen had run out., so we wouldn’t be getting the other 2 portions. Everyone had essentially finished their meals so no other sides were of consultation. The tuna nicoise was such a thin steak it had been cooked through, not pink. The bill came and we only paid 50% of the service charge, much to a look of confusion and almost disgust on the waitress face.
All very good and enjoyed by our party of 6.
Although very busy, the staff are friendly and attentive without putting you under pressure to free up the table. Always use this Cote when 8n London
Great food well cooked. Nice friendly staff. Very generous portions.
As usual we had a really enjoyable evening - my pork belly was delicious and just right for this cold weather. The complimentary Kir Royals were lovely as well!
Very pleasant ambiance. Excellent service & delicious food. Wouldn't hesitate to return.
Booked via Cote website, which was straightforward (bearing in mind I'm 76), although I could have telephoned if necessary. Welcome was friendly, service was efficient, food was tasty and the price was very reasonable for central London. The noise level was a bit high but this ws mainly down to some toddlers who weren't very happy. have used other Cote restaurants in outer London and all have been good.
Food was excellent just a little slow on the service but we were in a hurry for the Albert Hall also
Another Cote restaurant I have eaten in and never a bad meal or service
Excellent food, great staff and atmosphere, we’re coming back soon
I enjoy my visits here. The food is always good. I enjoy the atmosphere.
Good service, pleasant staff, dealt with late changes to order well
Good food, friendly and efficient service, we have decided to return next week for another meal.
A great experience. All the staff were geared to deliver excellent customer service to customers in a very busy restaurant filled with people that were en route to the Jools Holland concert at the Royal Albert Hall. . We use Cote a lot because of the quality of the food and the value you provide but the people that looked after us at your Kensington restraint were exceptional and clearly worked very much as a team. So congratulations to the management team for instilling this customer centric focus and rest assured we will be back . Indeed already looking for another concert to attend at the Royal Albert Hall to which we will add a pre concert meal at your restaurant. Thanks again for helping to make it a wonderful evening for us
Good ambience, great value for money, and food is consistently good with variety each month and excellent service
Even though we booked a week in advance we were offered a table right in the main walkway between front door/kitchen/bar and the main restaurant area. This is irritating. We ask for a different table and were taken to another acceptable table but there was a note of annoyance their attitude. Everything else was very good.
Excellent service and cosy atmosphere.Food also very good and tasty.
Great atmosphere and service. Food was very good particularly the creme caramel. Set lunch menus was excellent for the money.
Asked for a quiet table but didn’t get one but then it’s difficult with wooden floors
Very pleasent meal, exactly as expeçted, nice wine too. Would go again when in the area.
Very good food, and excellent service , location perfect for Royal Albert Hall.
Pepe is always so accommodating and shows excellent customer service skills
