I go to this Cote quite often and like it! Service is good - friendly staff - and food is nice, but the restaurant seems to have got more noisy which makes it difficult to hear companions' conversations and the overall experience less relaxed. Anything you can do to cut down on the noise would be much appreciated!

Very convenient for a pre-theatre meal. Took advantage of the complimentary aperitif which was very pleasant. Staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food enjoyable and good value. Slight rush at the end but difficult in busy period.

The food and service were excellent. The only reason I am not marking it as 6 is that it was quite noisy and crowded - but as we were there in order to eat early before going to the theatre, we didn't really expect anything different. Very good value for a 3-course meal.

Was surprised at how full the restaurant was. Good food, and excellent service but a little slow - probably due to the amount of customers. This is not my first visit to Cote and will not be my last.

Very busy pre-theatre slot and we were running 15 mins late due to tube issues, but we ordered quickly and they managed well and got us out in time for curtain up (2 courses off the pre-theatre menu). Good service and good food. Table next to us were not so lucky - had to rush starter and main course in less than 15 mins after a 45 min wait. Give yourself a bit of extra time and you should have no problems!

Overall the ambience was good and the service excellent. The steak was chewy although full of flavour and they made an adjustment on our bill after only an observation on the steak. The portion of fish was just sufficient but the food was good. my starter of poached egg with hollondaise sauce was not hot enough but otherwise excellent.

Good table at rear of restaurant, in a not too hectic area. We were welcomed without problem by front of house staff. We ate two courses from the a la carte menu plus wine. All good: food well-prepared and well-served. Good value. Restaurant very busy, justifiably. Will return and recommend to others.
