Good food, good service but very noisy. Cote remains good value. The menu contains enough variety to please everyone and manages to retain a continental vibe that is very pleasing

Great food as always! Complimentary Kir Royales went down a treat. Best pre theatre restaurant in London. So many locations to select from and love that the menu changes monthly.

Busy pre-theatre meal, staff very welcoming, good menu, very prompt service. Handy for some theatres and Covent Garden area of London. Have eaten at this restaurant before and is usually a good standard.

Food delicious as always. Service slightly slow but maybe the staff realised it was ‘ladies who lunch’ and not in a hurray . Thankyou very much!

Another very enjoyable lunch at Cote. We had lunch special which was very delicious and reasonably priced. the staff were very pleasant as always. One small criticism would be that the waiter offered us chips as an accompaniment but the course came with potatoes? Too much potato!

Good service, nice food and excellent value. We had haddock parmentier (well-prepared fish pie) with a glass of wine and deserts (light chocolate mousse and tangy lemon sorbet). The pre-theatre menu was great value for money.

The food and service were excellent as always. However, there was not heating and it was a particularly cold day so that made it hard to enjoy our experience at Cote.

Our first visit to Cote Brasserie Covent Garden- and on the coldest day of the winter! Staff excelled by providing extra halogen heaters throughout the restaurant. Best of all hot, delicious food. The fish stew for my partner and the fish pie for myself were exactly what we needed. So tasty! We shall be returning!

Very good food and service - standard Cote pre theatre set menu, which we have enjoyed elsewhere, but not in this restaurant as it has usually been full. Certainly became very busy towards the end of our session, but staff seemed to cope well. Rather tight seating space in a narrow corridor.

Staff are friendly and efficient and the food is great. We went when it was blowing a blizzard outside with winds from Siberia - and consequently it was a bit on the cool side inside nearer the door. But hey, that weather is not normal for London - so we didn't take it personally :)

We had a lovely pre Theatre meal here last night. I would definitely recommend Cote Brasserie Tavistock Street. It is good, reliable food and very reasonably priced. And the Apple Crumble is to die for!!

Admittedly we visited on one of the coldest days of the year but the temperature in the restaurant was on the chilly side and extra heating did not seem to be having much effect. Otherwise the food and service were very good. We especially like the Tavistock Street branch as it is very handy for a lot of theatres. Hopefully on our next visit it won't be so cold.

Very enjoyable. We are glad we booked as the restaurant filled up with pre matinee theatregoers. We were greeted at the door and looked after very attentively by a very charming young waiter. Food was freshly cooked and tasty. Egg Benedict to be recommended as well as the moules frites

Very good food, ambiance and service. The host at the door was super personable and made us feel very welcome even though the restaurant was very busy and he was crearly under pressure. Waitress was nice but we had to ask for the pre-theatre menu. It was not offer even though it was 6 pm. At the end we ordered from the a la carte menu but it would have been nice to not have to ask. However that’s just a minor flow in an otherwise lovely dining experience. The food is delicious but the staff is even better. We will be back. Thanks.

Very friendly staff, gave us the table we had requested, at the back in a quiet corner & let us linger over the meal. Excellent service ( only one slip- bringing a dish that wasn't requested, instead of one person's mains- but quickly rectified) meant we enjoyed our annual meal together here and found it very good value too.

The staff at Cote Covent Garden Tavistock street were wonderful. We had booked a pre theatre dinner and were delayed because of a train cancellation. Not only did they manage to fit us into a crowded restaurant, but we were able to enjoy a delicious meal served in record time! Absolutely brilliant service. Thank you.

Not one of the better experiences at this branch of cote. Fortunately I had booked in advance the restaurant was extremely busy. We were shown to our table which was next to a door with a wide gap and on one of the coldest days of the year a gale was blowing through it We ate our meal and left as quickly as possible.
