The restaurant was perfectly located for the rest of our evening plans but some of the pairings were a bit odd. I'd prefer the duck pate to come with sourdough/ white bread rather than a sweet brioche.

We were a post theatre party of 6. We enjoyed the usual excellent service and food offered in a pleasant atmosphere at the Tavistock Place Brasserie.

The pre theatre menu was good value for money. The food was delicious and there was a gluten free menu available. Friendly, courteous staff made it a pleasant experience.

Lovely old favourites, like the bottle of Cremant and the bread with new mains , lamb rump, tender and tasty for me and Breton fish stew for my husband, both divine. As the restaurant had run out of strawberries my crepe came with caramelised bananas, which beat the strawberries hands down. As ever we will be back. Cote is the best middle range restaurant in London, we are never disappointed.

The meal and wine were excellent as ever. The selection on the menu is always very comprehensive and I think overall Cote offers extremely good value as a dining venue.

Our booking was for 1745 and we arrived at 1740 (approx). We were expected and were whisked off to a table. The sun was shining, it was the Easter holidays and a Thursday, which could only mean one thing! A heaving restaurant! The service was first class, the food was delicious and, despite the number of people, the atmosphere relaxed. A delight.

Cote always serves up a good standard of food. This visit was no exception. But the restaurant was full and noisy. Service was also slow as a result and had to be asked for each time we wanted any. All of that is rather unusual for Cote, but I guess it was school holiday time.

Arrived with friend for pre theatre menu. Both knew what we wanted straightaway so gave our full order. Steak and chips arrived - good but not as hot as I would like and plate not warm. Then waited long time for dessert - apple crumble and ice cream which I love. It took so long we did not have time to eat it because we needed to leave for the theatre. I missed my crumble! I enjoy this menu and eat at Cote about once per month. I was a bit disappointed this time.

We went mid afternoon, between theatre crowds and it was a very relaxing experience. Staff were very patient as one of our party was half an hour late, and food turned up in good time and piping hot. Very friendly wait staff. Have visited this branch of Cote before and will go again.

Great service, great ambience and great food. Only one criticism, there's not enough choice for vegetarians! Will definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Great if you're going to see a show as they do special pre theatre menus that are favourably priced.

The dessert took more thank half an hour to arrive and we had to ask twice. They did take it off the bill, but still included the tip in the final price they entered on the card machine. Nice food nonetheless and friendly staff.

Excellent service by a very friendly staff. In case of a pre-theatre dinner speed is essential, and the service lived up to expectation. Food, all three courses were delicious and wine was served at the right temperature.

Amazing food, wine and deserts so delicious. Duck roast is one of my favourite. It would benefit if during hot summers days they have outside seating available.

I have dined at this restaurant for many years sadly on this occasion the waitress who served us was really not up to the mark and far and far below the standard I have come to expect from cote restaurant's. as always the food was excellent even if the waitress was more interested in chatting to other members of staff rather than attending the tables.

We were offered a special theatre menu at a great price for 2/3 courses and an amazingly warm welcome from the front of house manager and the waiting staff! The food arrived promptly and was delicious, try the minute steak with fries, it was rally good as was the chocolate mousse! Special thanks to Maria on front of house who's smile and friendly attitude made us feel so very welcome ............... we love you Maria! We will be returning to eat here on our next visit to the theatre.
