Had lunch with very good value deal via Quandoo for Prestige set menu. Excellent chef. My seabass was perfectly cooked served with mussels removed from their shells. Quieter than main Cote in Covent Garden.

We went to cote last night and had a wonderful meal including a good bottle of white wine. The food was brilliant not big portions just enough and very tasty especially the sea bass and mussels in white wine cream sauce. Service was excellent and although busy everything was prompt and waiters very attentive. We went to see 42nd street drury lane and the restaurant is just opposite this theatre. Thank you cote and Quandoo for a lovely evening will definitely be back

We were there pre theatre and NOT shown the pre theatre menu! This was cheaper! After we ordered the couple next to us asked for it. What we ate was on the pre theatre menu ! Disappointed with the service also

Not the best experience...I’m usually a big fan of Cote...champagne was not chilled..laté was cold and pork belly was sadly dry and overcooked...waitress was warm and friendly which was a plus... The ladies loo was so cramped..we were queuing outside and no hand towels so left with wet hands! Come on Tavistock Street you are letting the Cote chain down...there are better places to eat before the theatre...

I had 3 pre theatre dinner last week (end of November), each one were all exceedingly good. On Friday I thought I had cancelled as my friends were unable to make it but they managed in the end and we were squeezed in and had another excellent dinner (post theatre this time)

All thought I booked our table 4 weeks earlier we were sat close to the main door and spent a lot of our meal wearing our coats due to a cold wind blowing in. Asked waiter if we could move and we were told there were no other tables available. Very disappointing meal on a special occasion.

We chose from the pre-theatre menu which offered a good range of options, but as might be expected the portions were on the small side. Service was efficient, with no long waits between courses. we enjoyed our meal.

We were asked to move tables to seat a large group, but we didn't mind, and were given complimentary drinks. The food was good and so was the service. We ordered from the pre theatre menu, which gave us good choices, and was great value. Have been before, and will use Cote again !

No problems with the food or service, but I've commented before that the tables are rammed far too close together so that some guests are "trapped" until other diners move. We're long standing and very loyal customers of Cote, but this is a serious drawback at the Tavistock Street branch. It happens to be a convenient place to meet friends two or three times per year, but Covent Garden isn't short of mid-price places to eat and I think we'll have to consider other options.

We ate here prior to a theatre visit. Good food and service as ever but if you are visiting this restaurant on a cold night , don't sit in the seats to the left of the door. Every time the door opens you will treated to an icy blast and the curtain does nothing to help.

As always we had a wonderful evening, slightly quieter being a wet Monday! The service was very good, attentive without being pushy, and always with a smile. The food was excellent. We dined mainly off the 'Prestige' menu which had plenty of choices even for the vegetarian in the group. I would certainly recommend it.

Unfortunately, we waited for 1 hour for the main courses to arrive! Unbelievable! As for pre ordering food who wants to choose a week in advance what they want to eat. If a large party then probably easier for the restaurant!

I had booked a table on line for six, when we arrived we were given a table near the bar, which is quite a noisy table when the coffee machine gets going and asked if we could be moved The restaurant was packed but we were offered a table in a room downstairs, and although it had no windows, was perfect for our group. Many thanks to the staff at Cote.

Good food, very good service even though it was a busy early evening (although I suspect it's always busy). Very good value for money. But I do think they could improve their women's loos! Broken seats and none too clean. Needs a repaint.
