Excellent Service. The food was generally very good, especially the dessert. I would definitely go back for the pre-theatre menu, which was very good value. Nice atmosphere and decor.

Excellent service as usual. Food very good and well presented. The general ambience of Cote Kensington is welcoming. Tables are now too close so that you can have a conversation without being swamped by 5he next 5able.

Enjoyable visit with three generations eating and several large tables eating so not easy for the staff. Steaks could be hotter but overall a good meal

Good service and overall value money as usual. It is a pity that since positioned as a French bistrot, bread is not offered by default. It would make Core Unique.

The monk fish was a let down and too many potatoes. We prefer to dine at the Richmond branch as food and service is much better

There weren't enough staff. The service was so slow that we didn't have time for our pudding that we had ordered as we were going to the theatre. I thought 1 1/4 hours would be long enough but it wasn't. The manager was her apologetic and gave us 50% off our bill.

Nice menu: not too extensive and with interesting 'specials of the day'. Service friendly and efficient. Only (mini) quibbles: it's noisy; and is there really only one loo (unisex + baby changing)?

We went for a late lunch on an incredibly busy Saturday. The staff were very friendly and efficient, and it was a pleasant surprise to be served so promptly, considering how full the restaurant was. The food was, as always with Cote, absolutely fine. I like the fact that you can always find something on the menu to suit nearly any palate, and appetite. I only wanted a starter, whereas my daughter wanted a main course, but it was no problem having them at same time. In particular our waitress was delightful.

Been to a number of cote restaurants and always deliver decent food and a good experience. We have children of 10 and 6 and this always works well for them. Only negative was that the main course followed very quickly after the starter and I would prefer a longer break of at least 15-20 mins.

Really enjoyed the food at Cote on Sunday night. Can recommend the duck and the half chicken. Restaurant was busy and quite noisy. However felt rushed all through the meal. We were asked about drinks before we had our coats off or had sat down. Very good value but slow down please !

Our food was very good, I had the fish pie, and my Husband had the belly of pork . Although our order did come very quickly, we felt the waiter service could have been better for the second course and the bill.

We had booked a table for 8 for our family going to Cirque du Soleil. Very nice welcome and warm atmosphere . Very busy time on Sunday afternoon but the service bringing us drinks was very fast. Our food order took a while but was very high quality and all 8 orders were brought at the same time. We were out in good time to walk to RAHall and the manager apologised for delay and looked forward to seeing us again. We certainly will be returning with pleasure. Best wishes to all the staff. Jane and family

Cramped table very fast service if you want to linger over your food this is not the place for you. In the menu it said the chicken dish we were having was just with various vegetables so we ordered potato gratin but when it came it was on a bed of mash so we had double potatoes and obviously left some.
