The food is great value, and the service, although it can be a bit slow, very friendly and professional. It gets very busy so best to book.

Food was great but service appalling. It was a birthday and we couldnt wait for dessert as the mains were delayed over 30 mins. Really bad!!

We ate pre theatre on Good Friday and the fixed menu was varied and good. Langoustine tails were on the small side and main of breaded chicken did not come with fries and they were extras. WE were given a bottle of wine voucher on settling the bill - it was dependent upon signing up for newsletter by 31/3 a bit hard as we were given it on 30/3 and only looked at it when we got home on 1/4

We visited Cote Bistro for my sister's 30th Birthday meal. We had been here before and loved our first visit. We were warmly greeted by the staff and they made every effort to ensure my sister had the best birthday. The food was outstanding and good value for money. I will definitively be coming back again in the near future. Thank you very much :)

Good food as usual, but had to request the wine charge be removed from the bill despite early on clearly saying I had signed up for the promotion with the complimentary bottle of wine. Embarrassing to have to deal with it in front of my dinner companion in order to be reimbursed!

Nice place, nice food, good service. Although we changed our minds several times when ordering, it didn't seem to faze them one bit! Can be a little noisy due to not enough material to soak up some of the sound. Might pose a problem to the hard of hearing. Also, waiters from the kitchens use the same stairs as customers who use the toilet facilities which is a disadvantage.

This restaurant is very close to Covent Garden and several theatres so it's in a convenient location. Like most London restaurants the tables are very close together but the food was good and the service friendly although after the first and second course it was difficult to get their attention. The pre theatre menu is good value.

Service a little underwhelming especially as the restaurant was not particularly busy. It lacked what I've come to expect from this establisment. The starter and mains were OK and the apple crumble and brioche bread & butter sweets by far the best part of the meal.

I have visited this particular restaurant several times. The quality of food is consistent with others in the group and the menu and quality of food is good. However each time we have been there are often delays bringing a dish out, and you can hear other tables complaining. The staff deal with these issues very well and I think it’s jyat caused by them being very busy at certain times.

There was a warm welcome, good atmosphere, attentive and helpful staff, great new menu and food. Efficient; the appetisers, starters, mains all came at really good intervals. Better than most restaurants in central London, reliable and a very good choice. A very pleasant evening.

Good restaurant to take the kids before a show and very reasonable early bird menu. Very busy so definitely need to book in advance. Food and service was just okay though. Not somewhere I would choose without the kids!

Pre theatre dinner with 4 guests who had never been to Cote before and just loved it. Very impressed by the choice of dishes on the set menu, which caters for every taste. Had the Lagarde, cheapest/house white wine which went down like a treat, and some of my guests are real oenophiles! Just shows no need to pay for expensive wines for a good palatable one. Service was perfect and friendly never felt rushed. Cote is always a winner

Excellent food. Terrific service from ALL staff members. The pre-show theatre crowd was out in full force, but the service and attentiveness from the Côte staff never faltered for a second. Loved this place!

After a shaky start with ordering drinks and our food , the service improved and our lunch was very enjoyable . Only other criticism was that the food could be hotter but have been to various Cotes over the years and will continue going as in general have been satisfied .
