Nice food, quick service, polite staff. The only disadvantage is that the restaurant could be a bit bigger, the tables are too close to each other.

We were. greated with a complimentary glass of Ker Royal. Very welcome on the hottest day for many years. We choose to have the pre theater menu which is excellent value and very good. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Will definitely be back to Cote again.

Good food and atmosphere but service was a little slow and one of my guests did not get his full order i.e the sauce for his steak was missing and he had to ask for his butter. Otherwise an enjoyable meal.

Excellent and innovative pre-theatre menu - good value. The crab and avocado is delicious and it takes an accomplished chef to be able to cook a thin minute steak while leaving it rare inside. An enjoyable experience.

Amazing pre restaurant food. Very good food, three courses for £14. There is nothing not to like. Very quick service but not rushed and gets you to the show on time.

Service was great and genuinely friendly - we were in a rush and the waiters were very attentive and accommodating. Food was yummy and sitting outside was lovely as the side street is busy enough to have a buzz yet quiet enough to feel intimate and not hassled. A great find in Covent Garden

Risotto horrible, not up to usual standard (I often order it at Cote). Very very noisy - but what else would you expect here, at this time. Otherwise OK!

The meal at lunch was good overall, except for the slowness of our mains to be served to us - others who came after us were served before us, and one of our fishcakes had a small fish bone in it.

Good value,excellent food, but service becoming a problem as it is at other Cote branches,which is a result of so many customers at peak times (i.e. before West End shows)

At 6 pm the restaurant was very crowded and noisy. Good value for money for a pre theatre meal, but crowds made conversation difficult. Starters were better than the main courses.

Average. Too few staff and mediocre food. Worth going for the 13.95 pre theatre menu, but sadly overpriced at other times. Won't return anytime soon.

We eat here regularly as we like it. We were welcomed and given a choice of pleasant tables. The food was as usual very good. My friend particularly loved the Breton Fish Stew. I stuck to my usual Steak Frites. Drinks, bread, olives and starters were at the usual high standard. We keep coming back and visiting other branches. In fact we already have 2 bookings for next weekend. That's a recommendation!
