Authentically French. Good range of classic brasserie menu items, the pork belly and the fine apple tart were particularly enjoyable, as was the cheese board.

Very disappointed. Service was slow, steak was tough and I left most of it. Advised the Manager would be told. Bill showed no adjustment. I had to speak to the Manager who then apologised and gave a refund.

We have patronised various branches of Cote Restaurant for the past few years and have never had a bad meal or experience at any of the outlets visited. The menu is comprehensive but in particular the steak frites and the Breton half chicken are superb, the latter comparable with much more expensive versions of "poulet de Bresse" served in Paris. The staff are friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We are great fans of this restaurant chain.

We enjoy eating here before a show at the Marlowe. Food is of a good quality and reasonably priced although the Fougasse we had recently was not a patch on the one we had at the South Kensington branch a couple of months ago.Waiting staff are pleasant and not at all intrusive. Not 100% supportive of the discretionary service charge however. If Cote paid all it's staff a decent wage, and they were not dependent on tips, then we could give our tips to the staff that serve us.

Always a very high standard here. The staff exceptional. Attentive, knowledgable and friendly. It’s always tricky to choose your meal from the ever changing menu, as there are too many delicious things on it. Have visited a few other restaurants here but in our opinion and value for money Côte always comes out tops.

Three of us on my birthday visit and loved the Kir Royals. Very disappointed in the size of the Asparagus Rissoto -more the size of a starter than a main course but the other 2 dishes ie Steak and Chips and Breton chicken very good.

First class restaurant. An eclectic mix of locals, tourists and students from the city';s two universities. The atmosphere is calm and organised, service is faultless and the food exceptional value. I would also recommend the restaurant for its central location.

Unfortunately there was a problem with our order and it took an age. As we were off to the theatre we left without a desert and having rushed our mains Great shame, as we really enjoyed the food. The waiter took £11 off the bill but didn't really compensate.

The staff are really lovely here, so friendly. We waited a long time to be served our bread and olives , so we got them on the house. We understood they were particularly busy that evening as the weather was good so the outside area was packed as well as inside. The food is very good, always consistent. Highly recommend.

Good location and a fabulous atmosphere. This is a restaurant, not a fast food chain. My wife and I both had the set three course menu. All the dishes were first class. The service was a bit muddled, two waiters asked if we would like drinks. Our Olives were late, and subsequently taken off our bill. Overall 8/10.
