Food and wine quality were as good as ever, but service was very slow. It started well but took longer and longer as time went by. We ere only just in time for the concert.

Food very good as always but too few staff. Apparently there was an unusually large influx of people who hadn’t booked and weren’t planned for. The staff who were there were working hard but clearly struggling to cope. I’ll be back in any event but hope it’ll feel more relaxed next time.

Food was absolutely delicious. I normally go for the set meal but today I had the lamp rump from the main menu. It was really worth it. Loved it. I always have the crème caramel for dessert. It is light, tasty and just slips down. Yum. Service was excellent. Staff were attentive and friendly and left you alone to enjoy your meal and your company. We went early 5:30, so restaurant was quiet but enough guests to provide some atmosphere.

Fairly good. However, for the first time as a loyal customer there was a refusal to change the cocktail offer. This was necessary because of medication.

It's always a pleasure to eat the Barbican Cote when we visit London. The service is efficient and friendly and the staff understand that time is important when customers have a concert to attend. Well done!

Wonderful ambience, excellent food cooked well with courteous waiters and waitresses, white wine served cold and red wine at room temperature and calvados to go with the sorbet between courses to clense the pallet. What more is there to be said? Altogether an experience shared with friends who all thought the same. It made our evening, thank you. Have been before and most certainly will be coming back and would highly recommend it to our friends and relatives.

This restaurant is excellent for us as it is not too noisy. Service is attentive but not overbearing. Food is some of the best I’ve experienced at any Côte and possibly the best Creme Caramel in London.

Service was incredible. We had booked for 18, and 36 people turned up - the manager was completely unflappable, and manage to seat us all. Food was great and everyone was served at the same time - and the cost was very reasonable. But ultimately it was the kind understanding of the staff that made my father’s 80th birthday lunch a complete success.

I went to Cote Barbican with a work colleague and we had a really lovely meal. I had the duck and my colleague had the rib-eye steak which she said was beautiful. My meal was very nice. The service was prompt and the staff courteous. Will go again !

Reliable for food but as an older couple we did not appreciate being seated cheek by jowell with 3 year olds consuming spaghetti when the restaurant was half full. We moved but the staff were intent on filling up the seats closest to the window.
