As usual, set menu food good and service good too! Actually service was particularly good as had written long complaint about previous visit, so staff (incl. manager) were particularly attentive!

Food of a commendably high standard given the prices, and service that is impressive in a restaurant that is extremely busy every evening. A favourite!

Overall a very enjoyable meal and excellent service. The mussels were initially served up cold, however the waitress took them away and replaced them with minutes with no fuss. The atmosphere was great so would recommend this restaurant

We had a lovely lunch at Cote Tavistock Street. The staff were helpful,but discreet and the food was excellent. I had the rump of lamb cooked medium as I requested followed by the chocolate parfait which was lovely. Thank you very much.

we ate from the prestige menu which was good with a good selection of starters and main. There was no crème caramel for dessert which was odd for a Saturday lunchtime and this resulted in a slightly disappointing meal. It had not occurred to me that Cote would ever not have crème caramel, which I have always taken to be their signature dessert.

Absolutely brilliant as always. Friendly, professional staff, prompt service and lovely food. We dine regularly at Cote both in London and at home - often for breakfast, which is also amazing - and it never disappoints.

Order was wrong.half chicken was unrecognisable as a half chicken. The assumption was made that we would pay 12.5% extra for service. The service went to the staff so I had no means to complain to the owners. They probably dont pay a satisfactory wage to the staff if they rely on tips. I have been to a different cote before and was impressed. This place was not impressive.

Service very slick and foid good but we would have had time for another course before returning to the performance had Cote not stuck to their policy of serving every one else with starters before us because we only ordered a main course before others ordered starters. Not acceptable!

The mushroom was cold the service was very poor the coffee I asked for it to be very hot and on two occasions it had to be sent back and when it came a third time it was warm my husband had Americana with cold skinny milk the milk was asked for three times and the couple we were with got hot milk with there drink we waited at least 10 minutes and still no milk so my husband used our friends hot milk your waiters seem to look right through us when we try and get their attention I’m afraid to say we won’t be coming back to a Côte restaurant again you put service charge as it is on the bill but yesterday your service was bad

The restaurant became very busy shortly after we arrived at 5pm and the service was not as quick and seamless as it has been in the past, In particular one of the three main courses ordered did not come up with the other two ans the waitress seemed unaware that it had been ordered - it did come about five minutes later. However the food and wine were excellent and the staff friendly and apologetic.

We took the pre-theatre set menu but one of the items (the pork) on it was not available (even at 5.45). The chicken was good, though. The service was quite rushed (we got the feeling they wanted through-put) and the tables for two are quite small and close together. But it did the job - a reasonable dinner before the theatre.

We have eaten here before and as always, the welcome was friendly, even though some of our party arrived late due to an over-running matinee performance in Victoria, and the food was superb. Our table was booked for 6.30pm and desite not ordering until almost 6.50pm, just before the cut off point for the options on the "pre-theatre" set menu, our meals were perfectly cooked and served with level of attention and easy charm that we have grown used to at all of the Cote retaurants. Our visit was on a Sunday, so I don't know if it is normally this much quieter than on our usual Saturday night visits, but it was an extremely pleasant way to end a leisurely trip into London.

We're rarely disappointed with Cote restaurants and have used this one fairly regularly to meet friends. The food offering is familiar and of good, reliable quality. Service is always friendly and prompt. My only significant criticism of this branch is that tables are crammed too close together. Two of us were effectively imprisoned until neighbouring tables were vacated or we made a nuisance of ourselves and obliged other people to stand up and make room.
