Overall very pleasant meal but there was no tuna steak for a nicoise which was disappointing and the restaurant was extremely busy with tightly packed tables. Otherwise food was lovely and service very nice.
There are no facilities for disabled. Toilets are downstairs,down a long steep stairway. Floor in the restaurant was grubby. Food could have been hotter, but ice cream on dessert was melted before we got it. Service and attitude of staff could not be faulted and it was a very busy lunchtime.
This brasserie in the heart of the west end offers great value for money ,staff very helpful the place is very clean ,the toilets are kept well the food and wine good including the house white and red
Lovely restaurant with a great menu, no matter where, Cote never disappoints. We were a party of 11 and everything ran smoothly. Would definitely recommend.
Everything about our meal at Cote, Covent Garden, was just fine. We enjoyed courses selected from the set menu although my cod croquettes might have benefitted from more fish flavour to complement the potato content. The wine was very good and the service was excellent. This continues to be our favourite branch of Cote.
Great quick service and delicious food and wine at reasonable price - perfect for supper with friends before heading to close-by theatres in London. Definitely recommend.
Having dined at Cote Barbican only two days back I was delighted to find the same level of service, combined with tasty food at Cote St Martin' Lane today.
Fantastic Service, Super Meal, Lovely Staff, all made for a great evening. Would highly recommend to anybody. Cote has yet to let us down again
The meal was delicious and the choice on both menus varied.Cote's veal escalope is particularly good.Friendly staff are efficient and attentive even on a busy Friday evening. A wonderful experience as usual.
Excellent location for Trafalgar Square. Friendly, efficient staff who were eager to please but not too pushy. Despite being busy there was no pressure to leave. Well done.
Sadly we had to wait so long for our food that we had to skip dessert and ask for main course as we were off to the theatre. We had said we need to leave by 7.00 and we arrived at 5.30
We have been to this Cote on previous occasions but last week it was very busy and very hot no air conditioning so an uncomfortable meal. There seemed to be a staff shortage and our main course arrived before I had finished the first course. So not as good as usual would go again in case it was just a one off .
Relaxed atmosphere, attentive yet unobtrusive service and excellent food; always reliable. Three course lunch menu at £14 per head is just outstanding value for money.
Fabulous meal, friendly staff, great value for money. The restaurant is clean and the food delicious and is situated within easy access to theatres in Covent Garden.
Busy noisy restaurant, feels a little like a great fast food place rather than a relaxing restaurant. But it has good service and nice food
Clean and friendly restaurant offerning prompt but unhurried service with a good choice of food on both the A la Carte and Set menu (£13.95 for 3 courses as of Spring 2017). Ideally placed for a pre-show dinner. (Half a Sixpence at the Noel Coward Theatre - which is, quite literally, just across the road)
The restaurant and staff were extremely good and efficient however the pasta dish taken by two, we both thought was very bland and liquidy the rest was as ever good.
Always efficient and friendly staff and service - always great standard of food and reasonably priced too We come back again and again to this branch of Cote!!! Have brought most of my friends over the years and will be coming again soon hopefully
Good food and large selection well presented with top rate service. The location was very good for getting around Central London and the prices were reasonable for the area.
We were late and they made us feel so welcome. Also a nice complimtary Kia royale for our anniversary, nice touch. Food very reasonable and delicious, can't go wrong 13.95 for s three course
Very nice food at a very good price and perfectly timed for the theatre. Good atmosphere and polite and friendly staff. Would definitely go again.
Great atmosphere, busy but attentive, buzzing without being loud. Food as usual top quality and great value from their anniversary menu. A very enjoyable evening once again.
This brasserie in the heart of theatre land offers great value for money , staff very helpful the place is very clean the toilets are kept well, the food good
Had pre theatre lunch, two courses which were delicious, and could not fault service. Couple at next table were celebrating anniversary and were presented with a bouquet of flowers. Nice touch. Will definitely return.
The restaurant serves very nice food and has good service. The ambience is good but it can be a bit noisy at busy times. However, there are quiet spots to be found.
Pre theatre dinner, great menu and fast service which is what you need . Would certainly recommend to others for pre or post theatre meal
Good service not rushed able to take our time. The set menu always good value. Very hot but not sure I can afford sir con
Superb food - friendly helpful staff - good location for the west end theatres. Very busy restaurant so it is essential to book early - especially if intending to eat around theatre start/end time
Food and service as good as always. However, it was a very busy time - early evening - and hence very noisy. Tables are very close together. Good for a quick meal before going on somewhere, but not for a quiet, leisurely evening.
Very successful and everyone enjoyed their food.. only problem was the bill. I had asked if we could pay separately but when the bill came it was for all 10. Each worked our what they owed (but some items were very strange on the bill.. i.e. £1.+ for puddings whereas several were on the two course meal so should not be charged extra).... and we had each put in a tip, but the total money collected only came to the bill total. Presume the service charge had already been added. The waitress was brilliant.
Good service. Good food. Good experience. Try it, you won't be disappointed. We had lunch on a busy, very hot Saturday. Our table was by the entrance next to a large open window/door. The cooling breeze was most welcome.
We booked following a recommendation from my sister. What a find! Nice area, lovely decor and an excellent value for money 3 course meal. We opted for the theatre menu and I have to say the food was really good and great value, especially in central London. The staff too were pretty efficient and our waitress warm and friendly. I have already told friends about the Cote Brasserie and would definitely book again next time we visit the capital.
I have been to this branch of Cote before and no problems experienced. The low rating given today is due to the very slow service we received. Also both courses were taken to wrong table and know one asked us how our meal was.
Excellent quality food, great value and nice staff. Pleasant atmosphere. Food served promptly but without being rushed. We woukd certainly go back again for a pre theatre meal.
On a baking hot day we were given a cool table by the window (as requested), the staff were incredibly friendly and made some slight adjustments to the menu to suit our dietary requirements, and the whole experience was excellent.
Very pleasant meal the staff we're lovely very reasonably priced for the centre of London handy for both the theatre and the under ground station
Amazing staff, great food & I'd told them beforehand that it was our first wedding anniversary - they got us a card & some flowers - how fab is that!
Good venue for theatreland and as always food of an excellent standard with helpful and pleasant staff. We will return and would recommend it to you .
As a party of 4 we went for the pre theatre offer. The food, service and atmosphere was very good. Would definitely visit this restaurant again.
Lovely restaurant and great staff - a truly great range of food and lovely atmosphere - can't grumble when people are turned away due to demand- I would always book!!
I often go to Cote, however first time at Covent Garden. Service slow and we complained. I will never go to this branch again. Highgate, Sloane Sq and St Paul's fantastic!
The food was delicious and was served quickly on the pre-theatre menus. Service was friendly and looked after us well. We had a lovely lunch experience and the value was outstanding.
Friendly staff, good atmosphere and would recommend the pre-theatre menu. We had a nice table by an open door and on a warm summer evening it was great to eat and watch the world go by.
Excellent food Côte is very consistent in quality throughout their chain. Would highly recommend. Service was good a little slow but they were extremely busy as it was Friday night.
Fantastic 3 course pre theatre meal, delicious food and great value for money. Service attentive even though place was very busy. Wonderful meal all served in a timely manner.
Food was good but felt squeezed into table in between others! Very little room for manoeuvre! Also very noisy. Staff were polite but service was slow. Wine ordered a rose was warm not chilled & waiter added 5 ice cubes as a solution to chilling it!!
We were warmly welcomed on our arrival at this restaurant & shown to our table by a very friendly member of staff. Service was excellent & our waiter kindly brought me a basket of bread with my soup when I mentioned I'd had this at another branch of Cote. The 3 courses my husband & I had were excellent value for money at £13.95 each ( especially as many tourists rate London so expensive for eating out ). We spent a leisurely 2 hours there prior to our theatre outing & I would not hesitate to visit this branch again in the future. If I had to mention a downside, it would be to say this restaurant is very busy pre-theatre, & therefore becomes very noisy with customers talking, but that goes to show how popular Cote is.
Always a happy experience, with a lively buzz of conversation. It is easy to choose favourites from an attractive menu, friendly staff and excellent service.
Always book ahead or face Dissapointment. You'll receive a friendly welcome, good food and very efficient service. Enjoy the ambience. Thankyou to the excellent team
Ok but not great. Table was dirty, white wine was not cold and ordered a portion of chips for £2.95 - I expected a bigger portion for the price.
