The table was near the door which was a bit draughty. Staff attentive to begin with. Food well presented. Service much slower than when I have been before. We had the pre-theatre set meal we were in the restaurant for nearly two hours!!

Ideal lunch stop prior to a guided tour of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Travel delays meant we had to put our booking back 15 minutes: no problems and we had a pleasant table, with good service in a tight timescale. The two course deal was ideal, and the steak frites authentic and tasty, washed down with a glass of house white. Our fourth visit to a Cote this year, consistent value-for-money offer every time.

Overall food was of great quality and service excellent. Delay to sit down as very busy desspite booking. If you want to eat on a Saturday evening before a theatre visit then book. A lot of people arriving who had not booked were disappointed.

Gluten Free meal was served barely warm and was replaced by a fresh dish which resulted in the other 3 diners needing to eat rather slowly whilst waiting with their meals becoming cooler in the process.

The service was excellent and the welcome from all the staff was very pleasing. The food was just perfect we had the fixed pre theatre menu which had sufficient variety for our requirements and was most keenly priced.

This restaurant is located very close many west end theatres. The good food and friendly staff make dining here before or after the theatre an absolute joy and a must to complete the day. The set menu which changes every month, has a good selection of dishes with something for everyone, and offers excellent value for money. I have been a regular customer of cote restaurants for over three years the food is consistently excellent, and the service exemplary. I can highly recommend this restaurant.

The restaurant was so busy that we could not have our table that we booked for 18.30. The manager sat us down at a temporary table at 18.45 & gave us a round of drinks on the house. We moved to our table shortly before 19.00, but he still let us have the set menu which finishes at 19.00. We had a wonderful meal & good service. This could have been a disaster, but the manager accommodated us in such a way to make us feel welcome & want to go back.

The restaurant was very busy, we were late, having made a reservation.....the staff were welcoming and very understanding. Drinks came and our order placed......then we waited for about 30 minutes for our food. The kitchen was obviously under pressure but he staff were excellent.

Fab food and service. Relaxed atmosphere and we ended up chatting to the couple on the next table who had overheard us chatting about theatre shows. Not somewhere to go if you want an intimate chat as timetables are very close in places

This is a busy but comfortable restaurant with quick and friendly service. The food was well flavoured and interesting, especially the excellent crème caramel. With a glass of good wine and coffee the pre-theatre 3-course menu is very good value.

Usual excellent value and always reliable steak frite. The score would be higher if the lighting were better - I could barely see what I was eating. My complaint on leaving was met with an inane comment that it was darker outside! I also have my doubts that the glass of wine I ordered had a full 175ml - it seemed pretty small.

Table in far corner by windows, which meant no one passing table and it made for a more relaxed time than sitting in the middle of the restaurant. V pleasant food and wine as usual - the balance here is more toward the tried and tested than the novel. So a familiar but reliable option when you just what to chat over a meal midweek.

Excellent Service from all staff this afternoon at lunch time. The New March Set Menu with whitebait as a starter and Seafood linguine as a Main was Delicious and satisfying. I would highly recommend the Tavistock Street Cote Restaurant for consistently delivering Good service and Food. A must when you are visiting London. Good value food and perfect for Theatreland.

For the first time, we had a negative experience with regard to the onion soup that one of us had ordered.The cheese and the bread did not taste right. After eating the soup, my friend felt warm and nauseous. We did not know why but when he went to the lavatory, he threw up the soup. This means that his body rejected something that had gone bad. There must have been a bacteria in the soup or it was not prepared in a hygienic way. We complained to the manager. At first he did not believe that the soup was the problem, as it happened too soon after eating it but after my friend had thrown up, he realised that he was wrong. He talked to the chef and he solved the situation in a satisfactory manner. The soup and the main course that my friend had ordered were deducted from the bill and the coffee was on the house. We were pleased with the way the manager handled the matter, burwe hope that in future, the cooks and the chef will be more careful with the way they handle food and with hygiene . Yours sincerely Jean Marc Asso
