Nice pre theatre meal before going to see The Inheritance. We booked once again the Delft Mackintosh offer and received complimentary kir royales. Good atmosphere and efficient service.

Good service and food inn a very noisy atmosphere -- the set menu remains very good value - but I prefer quieter branches of Cote such as Richmond and Kingston

Excellent service and good food, as ever, and a reasonable bill on the early evening deal. Which is why thousands of people go to Cote. Many pre-theatre deals in restaurants only give a choice of 3 choices per course, so your choice of 5 o 6 makes choosing more interesting.

We had Cote's Pre-Theatre meal last Sunday and the 3 courses were superb, all for £14.95, can't beat that, especially with the complimentary drink that was a big bonus! Great table looking out over St Martin's Lane and all the staff couldn't have been more helpful.

Even though the restaurant was busy due to customers eating before the theatre, staff were efficient and friendly. All diners should try the signature dish of French onion soup.

Always good service and good food. Never disappoints. Easy to have a good meal before or after theatre. Perhaps the tables are too close to each other but understand that they want to 'pack them in'.

I often have lunch here when in London. It is convenient to Charing Cross station and it suits me to meet here with family members. The service can be a bit slapdash at times but the quality of the food and the value at good. Though the prices have been creeping up of late.

Good atmosphere, polite service. The only reason I gave it 4 was because we were charged for a large glass of wine that we didn’t ask for. They did remove it from the bill but it could of got missed if we hadn’t checked.

We love Cote. 3 of us visited, late for our table after the (over-running) theatre and, even at the tail end of a shift, the staff were unfailing courteous, bringing us Cote's reliably good though inexpensive food fast and without fuss. Chicken, steak frites and fish parmentier all just as they should be. Recommend .

Besides the starter (prawns gratin) the remainder of the good was tasteless. The thin steak, the chips were tasteless and the bearnaise sauce was made of plain mayonnaise with some herbs. Nothing like a real bearnaise. Very disappointing as COTE is a favourite restaurant when coming to the local theatres and ENO OR MY LOCALSHampstead and Highgate. I will have to think twice before returning.

We had booked for 5.30 and our table was ready and service prompt. It was rather chilly at first - air conditioning in November?? The staff were pleasant and the food good. The noise level was ok - even when we left at 7.10pm when most tables were full we could still hear each other!

It was Saturday lunch time and very busy - and noisy. Not a time I would normally choose but couldn't be helped. Luckily I'd booked a table and we were shown to our table very quickly . We had a very attentive waitress who served us very quickly. The food was as good as always. No complaints.
