Restaurant in the heart of theatreland. Despite being extremely busy the staff were efficient and friendly. Food is consistently good at Cote and never disappoints.

I had requested a quiet table and we were sat right next to a birthday party of about 12 people. The white wine was also not cold enough. Service was very friendly

I had a gorgeous evening with my girlfriends celebrating my birthday at Cotê. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. We never felt rushed (which is a rare commodity in central London!), the staff were a pleasure, there was a lovely buzz and ambience in the restaurant without being too loud, and I was even gifted a happy birthday song by the staff (and half of the other diners)! Thank you to everyone at Cotê who made it such a memorable evening. Affordable, and well catered dining. Highly recommended.

We arrived early, the guy at the desk said he didn't have a table ready, and we should go away and come back in half an hour, which would have been the correct time, and he MIGHT have a table ready. His attitude was awful and rude. Anyway he did us a favour, as we went to a Greek restaurant next door, which was really good. Not going back to cote!!!

Reliable pre-theatre meal yet again, quick but not hurried service, fair price fixed menu, pleasant house red wine. The restaurant was busy at 5:45 so we were pleased to have booked. And literally across the street for Half a Sixpence (the show, not the meal bill!)

Busy branch of this popular chain. Had to wait a while for each course, perhaps not enough staff to cope with the large party was in. Food very good.

A very pleasant meal in pleasing surroundings. The Steak Frites is an excellent dish, although my mint, pea and courgette soup had a slightly "boiled" sensation....

Cote food is good value for money. However, it is too popular and very busy and noisy at lunchtime. Mid afternoon is preferable when most diners leave and quieter 'afternoon tea' diners arrive.

Poor reception. 4 tables in window available but placed with someone's' back in my face. Very noisy and slow, though pleasant, service. Food ok but good value. I suppose this is London pre-theatre dining.
