A favourite of ours because the service, menu choices and value for money are simply fantastic. Cote's pre/post theatre menu is the best in terms of choice, quality and price that we've ever found in any London restaurant.

Always very accommodating, able to jig the tables around at short notice to fit you in. Friendly, fast moving restaurant in the thick of it near all the theatres, so goes very quiet at 19:30.

Service good. Problem with card payment machine so we had to pay in cash. A bit stressful as we were going straight on to the theatre. Lucky we had £180.00 cash with us!!

Good food reasonable price friendly quick service. They gave us a table by an open window/door which kept us cool. Inevitably a bit noisy with so many happy people.

Excellent food and service. In addition good value for money. We often use a Cote Brasserie for pre or post theatre meals and can highly recommend the chain.

Went for a pre theatre meal. The restaurant was very busy, but the service & food was excellent & to the same standard received at an outer London branch. There were a number of waiters available & requests were responded to quickly. There was plenty to choose from the theatre menu, which was good value & available until 7pm.

Well up to its usual high standard as one of the best examples of a good value chain of restaurants. Food well presented and well cooked. Pre theatre menu remains really excellent value and service friendly and efficient, if sometimes a bit under pressure. Great place for theatre land eating

The food and service at Cote is always great. The only problem at this branch is that the table wasn't ready and there is nowhere to wait, so it was very cramped.

Excellent pre-theatre menu at reasonable price. Manager upgraded our table. Was a special time with friends from States hadn't seen in ages so good to have larger table in quieter corner of restaurant. They appreciated choice of menu. Good quality food, especially crab and avocado starter. Very relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff.

Food was good, we had shared the calamari for starters. For mains we had the pork belly, 7oz fillet, duck breast and lamb and for dessert we had tart du pommes, lemon tart and ice cream with chocolate sauce. All washed down with nice white wine. Quality was good, made to our request and everyone really enjoyed dinner.

We had a pre- theatre 3 course meal for £14 or so. The quality and food content was excellent for the price. A bottle of wine cost a reasonable £17.50 (for London). The ambience was good, the staff were attentive. On the whole, a pleasant experience

Pleased I booked in advance as it was very busy. Our table was ready for us and we were given a lovely complimentary glass of Kir Royale. The staff were pleasant and service was quick. We had one meal from the pre-theatre deal menu and one a la carte. Both meals were delicious. A good experience.

Great food as always! Steak frites and peach crumble were amazing! It was a little loud and difficult to hear the person across the table from me. The tables were also a bit too close together so I had trouble squeezing between them and I'm quite a small(ish) person!

Food quality was as you would expect from Cote. The service was a mixed bag very good for the first hour then very bad for the last hour. We did point out the failings to the Management team who were very apologetic. We do accept that at busy times these things happen overall a positive experience we will book again.

Reliably good fare, attentive service and decent value as you'd expect from Cote - we had the lunch pre theatre menu which offered plenty of choice - only complaints were the acoustics in this particular branch are awful (low ceilings and no soft furnishings to soak up any noise) and as it was packed it was very noisy indeed and not a relaxing lunch as a result - small comments on the food - my father's omelette was overcooked - not at all how it would be served in a french restaurant and the tomatoes in the tomato salad came straight out of the fridge - i never understand way restaurants do this as they should be served at room temperature to get the best flavour they also seem to serve cheese straight from the fridge too which is also disappointing...overall though not a bad experience - i will return to Cote, but would not return to this branch in view of the noise levels...

Food was as the usual good standard of Cote. Whilst we understood the restaurant was busy, it was difficult to get the attention of staff, service was slow and the bill incorrect. We were disappointed with our visit on this occasion.

Very good pre-theatre meal from the set menu. Service was also excellent for the first part but seemed to tail-off after our main course. Had to wait ages for dessert and to get our bill. It won't deter us from eating there again however. Hopefully it was just an unfortunate blip. I generally recommend this restaurant for the quality of the food.
