A very enjoyable meal, efficient service and good quality food and wine. A little noisy but that is no reflection on the restaurant and proves how successfully popular this venue is. we will look forward to another meal at one of your brasseries in due course. Well Done!!

It's just so noisy from around 5.00 - 7.00pm. And the music just makes it even noisier. Nice food, good service though. And the free offer martini was added to our bill!!!!

The pre-theatre menu is excellent value and the dishes offered were imaginative examples of French cuisine, not often seen in chain restaurants! The quality of the food was excellent, as were the portions.

As ever, a friendly place to eat. Consistent standard of food. Would like Côte to start serving wine in carafe to provide compromise between the glass and the bottle.

Booked a table for two consecutive nights, unfortunately on arrival on valentines night we were informed that we could only choose from the valentines set meal which didn't offer the great variety you would expect from Cote. Sadly we chose to dine elsewhere as my mom didn't like any of the options available. Disappointing when the reservation had been booked for weeks in advance. Maybe prior warning might be a consideration!

Very friendly staff and we got a free drink due to my friend's 70th birthday. A bit cold although we were away from the door in the first aisle. Meal was nice and I am a regular at St. Martin's Lane and Tavistock Street. Was not impressed with Wardour Street venue though, waited ages for just a main meal that we ordered there. It was later in evening.

Great food, fantastic service and a lively atmosphere. A bit frenetic with the pre-theatre crowd so wait until after 7.15pm. Really good value for money as well. Thoroughly recommend.

Booked for 5.15 as seeing a show nearby. At 730. The poor waiter was run off his feet, unable to cope with the demands. Management didn't care. 45 minutes from finishing the main course to receiving the desert menu. In the end we had to skip desert. Wont be back

Always wonderful and excellent value -a charming waiter tonight and I suspect ( looking at the NT brochure) that he may be a budding star actor soon. Perfect for all theatregoers !

There were 17 of us, we each had to pay separately for our own orders and we were in a hurry to get to the theatre. The Cote team managed it with us before the evening and it all ran smoothly. Good food and excellent service.
