The food is excellent and the pre-theatre menu changes every month. The main menu is varied and offers something for everyone. The staff are both friendly and professional. A good place to take friends.

Busy, but food served quickly and with a smile. One of the better Cote restaurants (would choose over St Martin's Lane). Nice atmosphere and handy for many theatres.

Food and service was average, not as good as previous visits. However, they did discount our drinks after some issues with the food which was welcomed but not sure I would return to this branch again.

Lovely meal with fast efficient and friendly service. Food was great value and all cooked beautifully. The head waitress was very kind and friendly but not overbearing. I'd definitely visit again. Very convenient for our theatre visit, and the pre-theatre menu is really good value.

It was very noisy but it was a Friday night. The food was ok. We ordered off the pre theatre menu but the waiter tried to charge us for the A La Carte menu. When we explained he did sort it out. We both chose the Chicken Walnut, Avocado Salad. There was plenty of chicken and walnuts but I only had 2 pieces of avocado and my husband didn't have any!!

Great meal, good kids menu and a nice buzz at around 6:30-7pm. Tables relatively close - esp tables for 2 so not the place for a romantic evening!

We had a lovely meal at a pleasant table and the staff were very attentive and helpful. We were rather disappointed with the toilet facility. Only two toilets available for women, one of which was blocked. The whole toilet area smelt very badly.

Service was good but cod goujons were horrible, tasteless, over cooked and inedible. Very disappointing compared with other Cote, the waiting didn’t question why I left the dish uneaten.

I can't fault this restaurant, have eaten there several times and always had a really enjoyable meal, the food is always good and served piping hot. There is an excellent choice and the set menu is an absolute bargain. We didn't know they also have a separate vegetarian menu and can adapt it to vegan, so if you are veggie or vegan it's worth asking for that menu. On a cold windy day i wouldn't want to be sat near the entrance as the wind really howls in. There is a good choice of wines and the house wines are decent and very fairly priced. Staff are always attentive and friendly.

Good food, modestly priced, efficient service. We chose the pre-theatre menu, which offered an interesting range of choices and both chose the sea bream with leeks, which was tasty (and served on hot plates!)

Perhaps a bit rushed but place very busy. Overall good value, we had the set menu, although house wine by the glass was a bit too expensive. Never will be happy about auto adding of 12.5% service charge, particularly as it goes against the cost of drinks as well!

My partner and I enjoyed our meals and both the food and venue lived up to our expectations. My French Onion Soup starter was among the best I have ever tasted; we both had the perfectly cooked Pork Belly; my partner had a superb dessert; the Rhone red wine was excellent value for money and the complimentary bread and butter were very tasty indeed. Our waiter and the other staff were utterly charming and attentive throughout. We eat out a lot in London and our experience at Cote Brasserie has ensured that we will return. Thank you for a most enjoyable experience. Denis and Theresa.

Food and service were quite up to the standard expected at a Cote. However, the noise level was very high and made it very difficult to have a conversation across a table for 4. We decided to go elsewhere for dessert and coffee.

Special occasion 90th birthday celebration. Greeted with a glass of kir Royale, very unexpected, then as a finale to the delicious meal the birthday girl was treated to a chocolate mousse with candle and the staff giving a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday, this was completed with a lovely card and bouquet of flowers. The staff were very attentive and helpful and all these unexpected surprises made the already special day extra special and one that the birthday girl will not forget in a hurry! Thank you so much for all your kindnesses. Best wishes V.A.H
