Food very good but restaurant very busy and seating on top of each other. Originally was seated by external door with a strong cold draught coming through it. We asked to be moved and was given the table next to the original table which still had draught.

We had asked for a table by the window, and it was ready for us when we arrived. We ordered from the April set menu and were spoilt for choice. And once we had decided what we wanted, what we ate was excellent.

Absolutely fantastic service for my mums birthday meal. Couldn’t fault the staff or meal at all, they really went above and beyond. Will certainly recommend and return again as soon as possible!

This is one of my favourite Côte's in the country, if I have friends visiting it will always be my restaurant of choice. Service was good as always and the food was absolutely delicious!! I enjoyed the Prestige Menu which is amazing value for money. As for the noise levels, today was weird, restaurant was quieter than usual except for one patron who wanted the whole restaurant to hear his conversation. He had a few stares from people and finally got the hint.

table was late, it happens, 2 glasses of prosecco brought "on the house" while sitting outside waiting (but there were 3 of us!); service was fine, except they forgot a glass of white wine till main course nearly finished despite several reminders; food was mostly fine, though my toulouse sausages were totally dried out and overcooked, but accompanying lentils delicious; place was very busy and staff do their best but maybe not enough of them upstairs or in kitchen?

Very busy of course, but the staff were great and we didn't feel pressured to vacate our table. Brunch is always good at Cote. We just wish there was a refill of coffee included in the price as the cups are small and always arrives earlier than the breakfast. Getting tea is better value as you get a whole pot. It wouldn't be much to give customers a refill.

I had booked so I can't comment on waiting times. I normally use the one in St Martins Field Lane and that one is much quieter than this one. Obviously this is in a more touristy area so that is only to be expected. The pre-theatre menu is very good value in my opinion. The quality of the food is good.

I reserved the round bench table at the back as we were a fairly large (and probably noisy) party. Didn’t expect they would have it reserved but it was. Lots of food variety for everyone and prices keen. Wine not a rip off either. Staff were attentive but not in our face. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

We were early and grateful for being accommodated. The steak was not as good as usual but the chicken was very good. Service was good but a little rushed, if anything.

We were a chaotic bunch of 8 trying to grab pre-opera supper. Being in the far corner, we were a bit forgotten about at the beginning, requiring having to find staff a few times. However we were all well-fed and well-watered in sufficient time. Thanks Ben and team!

Efficient and speady service as always before the theatre meal. Food was ok, our salmon as main was nice and hot, but with too many potatos which was a bit lack of imagination. All in all OK.

Table was draughty due to door opening frequently. Hot white chocolate sauce was served in short measure. Item added to bill which needed to be deleted. Disappointing, not up to usual high standard.

As usual the food was extremely good value for money. To have a three course meal with a glass of wine for less than £25-00, is a lesson to places like Jamie’s.

Another wonderful evening. Great food and service as always. We ate from the two pre-theatre menus, and it was all delicious. Only criticism was that our table was rather squashed in, a little more space between tables would have been nice.
