Service was fast and polite despite the restaurant being very busy. If anything, service was too fast as our mains arrived before we had finished our fougasse!

Great breakfast brunch! However, we were disappointed that we were not able to order from the lunch menu - it was not clear lunch was not served till noon.

we had a meal on a busy Saturday evening, the meal was absolutely incredible and the service for such a busy evening was impeccable. Friendly staff simply could've not been more attentive and helpful.

Excellent meal and very good service. The restaurant was full which for an early lunch was surprising, the waiting staff kept on top of everything with a smile.

Have eaten here several times before and enjoyed the experience. On this occasion service was poor, with steaks not cooked to order and having to be returned and an incorrect bill at the end. All resolved amicably and will return to give them another chance!

Consistently good as usual. Staff, unfailingly pleasant & efficient. Quality of food up to usual high standard. Only "niggle" that the "special" dish of scallops was less than good value for money & the recommended wine highlighted on the menu was inexplicably unavailable.

Cote food and service was as good as ever. But it was packed and down in the basement the noise was deafening which spoilt the experience.

As always, Cote provided a tasty pre-theatre meal at a reasonable price, with excellent service. It's rather cramped, and a little on the noisy side, but highly recommended.

Everything up to the usual high standard. Extremely good value for money (set, pre-theatre meal). Only problem: the pea soup could have been hotter (we should have sent it back).

tTable service Staff unfriendly and slow to respond- they seemed to forget we were customers- one even seemed to get annoyed when we made a request. Also frisée salad cold - no apology- service POOR- arrogant male in particular with beard- also staff walked up and down with no eye contact i.e. Not looking around- and yet service included! Not good POOR.

The food was delicious and good value but service was rather slow. We were left sitting without drinks or water for a while, although I appreciate it was a very busy time - 5.45. The bill wasnt delivered very promptly either, luckily we werent in a hurry. Overall the restaurant was extremely noisy which can be difficult for older people, both service noise and general conversation. I'll try asking for a quiet table against the wall next time but may not make any difference.

Served very efficiently and quickly although the waiter was so busy he was almost turning away as he asked the question 'Is everything all right with your meal' "Yes, Sea Bass is very nice but the fennel could do with an extra couple of minutes on the grill......" Too late, he'd gone.
