Good well prepared food. Pleasant surroundings. Not where you go for high creativity or posh service, but prices reflect that and value for money is sound.

Always enjoy a visit to this restaurant. However, despite being very quiet, the service was poor. Haphazard, testing, shabby and hardworking. Disappointing. Not the usual standard

My Mum and I were late for our reservation but they had kept our table and were so welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff here, the excellent service and general ambience along with lovely food, such good value with the fixed three course menu, ensured we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

The food was nicely prepared, though under-seasoned, and services was prompt for a pre-theatre meal. Cote offers a reliable good product, at times quite good, always better than average.

Food very average - chaotic service pre theatre period - basic plate of food to protect profit margins - little finesse need to increase the all inclusive price to give more substantial food - a steak with just chips is hardly exciting and filing

Restaurant busy and we had to ask for our order to be taken. When steaks and frites eventually arrived the food wasn't hot. We were going to theatre so no time to complain! Not the usual Cote experience-disappointing!

We really enjoyed it, the staff were very friendly. The food was very good for the price! We had the Pre-Theatre menu, 3 courses and very good value for money, considering that you are in Covent Garden. It was very busy in the restaurant and we were served in one hour so very efficient.

Excellent breakfast - the French toast and fruit salad sounded an odd combination but worked well. Service good but restaurant very quiet. Air conditioning a bit high but otherwise good and would use for breakfast again.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here last week. Had the set menu which is very reasonably priced for both the 2 course and 3 course option. I had the steak frites which was very good and the chocolate mousse was amazing! Staff were friendly and efficient. Overall a great experience!

We ate off the lunch fixed price menu which is good value for money. Two of us had the Pissaladière Camembert which they said was good but would have liked a tiny bit more camembert on it. I had smoked mackerel which was delicious and would have again. For mains 1 of us had cod gourjons which looked really nice, two of us almost had food envy. She said they were really fresh and not greasy at all. We had steak frites. The steak was cooked really well. But if you’d like some greens or salad I’d recommend ordering a side or 2 between you. For desserts we had berries with white chocolate sauce, crème caramel and apple crumble and all were yummy. Service was also very good. I have been to the restaurant before but my two guests had not and were very impressed and would make a return visit.

The service was extremely slow. We went for a pre theatre meal and waited for about 40 minutes until our starter turned up and this was only after 2 requests to 2 different members of staff. This was the second time in 3 months that this had happened. On the previous occasion one of our main courses was cold and we refused to pay for it at which point the duty manager cancelled the whole bill. The other visit was perfect so it's a bit hit and miss

I have been a regular visitor to this branch of cote, it is conveniently situated close to all the theatre's in the strand and practically opposite The Theatre Royal Drury Lane. As always both the food and service were excellent, and although extremely busy the food came promptly and was delicious.

Good price for pre-theatre menu. Food was excellent. Only downside was the queue to get in (even with a reservation) - the queue was in a crowded area near the door and into the street. But overall very good, with efficient service.
