Service was very good and the staff very polite. However, the ribeye steak wasn’t very nice... it came out over cooked, cold and tough. This was a shame as we reguLarly eat at our local Welwyn Garden City Cote restaurant and always really happy with food.
Great service and food was excellent, and felt Covid safe.
Sadly social distancing not a worry given the lack of customers....which is a shame but made for an extremely comfortable Sunday lunch. Fabulous October specials, the Haddock was delicious and husband enjoyed the Breton fish stew...packed with fish. Cote always delivers.
Thanks Cote, we had a first-rate experience, I took my son out for lunch to celebrate the start of his second year at art school down in Camberwell, he especially ate hardy !!! We will see you all soon, we look forward to it... thanks for ‘keeping ‘em flying’ in such bizarre times... very human staff, service, food — all supremo... best wishes, Dr. Sean O’Neill
Very good food as always. Very attentive service. Ambience was a bit lacking I think due to Us being there between lunch and dinner service. Eg 2-5:30pm.
There is no better brasserie-style restaurant in London, especially at these prices.
Staff very attentive , October specials were great- from the dubonnet gin cocktail to the fig endive salad, the pork tenderloin and finally the cheese board . Excellent. It was lovely to experience the restaurant and not be in a rush . Thank you James. Look forward to returning

A very pleasant meal, with good food and attentive staff
Food and customer service was lovely. The restaurant tables were all socially distanced. I felt very safe and comfortable eating at the restaurant.
Delicious food! Really lovely service! Overall a fantastic restaurant. Would highly recommend!
The staff were welcoming, polite, courteous and engaging. Food was delicious, as always, and the 2 complimentary cocktails were excellent. Thank you for a lovely experience.
Fabulous food and service as standard. Fantastic value for money

Excellent Covid precautions, very knowledgeable staff, great menu, great food, lovely wine. What more could you ask? Will definitely return.
Very enjoyable lunch on Sunday at Cote, Covent Garden. The food was excellent as always, as was the service. Great value for money !
Lovely evening at Cote, excellent service, great food, very welcoming & relaxed. Glad to be back!
Absolutely superb visit! A very warm welcome from your very kind and professional staff. Service was first class as was the food - can’t wait to return. When in London, we usually have lunch at an establishment round the corner which was closed due to Covid - we now know the true meaning of excellent food! This will be our number one choice in future. Thank you for the best experience ever ❤️
Easy to book on line - even at short notice. Efficient and attentive service. Obviously strangely quiet which removed some of the 'buzz' you'd normally get. Food was good, no complaints.
Enjoyable, but I was disappointed there was no set menu.
We had a very nice evening, service, staff and food. Thank you.
so good to be back in the restaurant. Attentive staff and a good atmosphere is less busy than usual. Excellent meal as always.
terrific service , stylish ambience and excellent menu- as always- A real pleasure to see this branch of Cote back at work
My friend and I both had burgers, they were perfect and the service was good
A great meal catching up with an old friend... staff and food were great...
Absolutely loved it! Congrats on the reopening! Was really desperate to get my hands on your parfait and a steak...certainly didn’t disappoint! :)
Had a very heart meal. Enjoyed my very delicious half chicken. Nearly no room for dessert. Yum. Excellent location for the opera House. In time for early curtain at 7.
Restaurant was so noisy and over seated and cramped. It’s the worst Côte I’ve been to. The food was lacklustre, my beetroot and mackerel slad looked a mess and was missing the horseradish creme fraiche. It was a really sad salad. I ordered the steak for main which was so riddled with fat I had to return it. The promptly replaced it with the sea bass which was fine. I did receive a glass of wine off my bill as a gesture for the steak which I did appreciate. Overall a very depressing visit which is a shame as I’m a big fan of Côte. They need to remove the amount of diners they’re trying to squeeze in and make space for plants and soft furnishings to absorb the sound in the place. My companion and I had to really raise our voices to talk to each other. Shame.
Lovely atmosphere, cramped seating and the food took a long time considering it was the theatre menu. We ran to the theatre!
Fabulous food and service. Thank you! Made our last evening in London memorable.
Service was excellent, we turned up 20mins early and was very welcomed and no issue. Our waitress (sorry didn’t get her name but was from Naples) was very attentive. The food was fresh and very tasty. Would recommend the fish stew. Prices were reasonable and wine was delicious cotes du Rhône Thank you to all the staff we will return.
Delicious food and friendly, attentive service. We had the pate, onion soup and pork belly with dauphinois potatoes. All well prepared and piping hot! One of our favourite pre-opera places!
Nice touch to have complimentary birthday drinks and pudding with candle for the birthday girl! Great service with a smile too and lovely meal.
excellent service and food delicious. I've been to this restaurant several times and the levels have never dropped. Staff are always friendly and the service is very prompt
The set menu is good value and the food and service are excellent. My only small gripe is that the mains don’t come with veg and they are quite small portions without veg. It really bumps the price up having to order sides.
Good service however In common with most restaurants with it was very VERY noisy
Food quality great, as always, friendly staff, lively atmosphere. Our original table was in line with the aircon which was quite strong (it was a warm evening). We asked whether we could be moved and this was done without any fuss. Despite being moved to another part of the restaurant, our 'original' waitress came by later and asked whether everything was ok; which was a nice touch. We don't like smoke, and the open windows meant that some of the outside diners smoke was drifting through; but not a lot you can do about that on a warm day! It wasn't a real issue.
Food was average - unusual for a Cote, it's normally excellent! Our local branch (Oxford) is much better. The position of the tables (we were outside the toilet) leaves a lot to be desired too....
Tables too close together throughout restaurant. Sat in what felt like a walkway under a broken heater that was making me uncomfortably warm. Food good although out of calamari by 5.45pm.. my favourite starter! I go to a few cote restaurants but I shall be giving this one a miss for a while.
Nice food & staff, they were a bit busy so hard to attract attention but that’s fine
Waiter was rude,the service wasn’t very good considering us wasn’t busy! Expected me to just pay the ‘optional’ 12.5% tip ar the end....no sorry you were rubbish mate
My friend and I had a fabulous lunch at Cote in Tavistock Street. The food and service were excellent with a great choice on the menu.
Good welcome, delicious food , friendly service. Will go back.
