Fab, perfect pre theatre meal! Booking ahead on line on the day worked perfectly-except I took us to the other Cote in Covent Garden 1st; they were helpful and would have given us a table but I know and like this branch from previously. Great window seat, open so cool. Superb swift, but not rushed, polite, efficient service from all staff. Usual great choice on varied menus and reliable, fabulous food. Go to chain! Thank you!!

Very busy and noisy, but in fairness, being a group of 6, we probably contributed. Unfortunately the toilet facilities let them down, 1 of only 2 working, acing to queue by the kitchen dodging waiters with trays.

Cote is an excellent reliable chain.... normally. In my experience , more people are willing to forgive average food than average service. The service was slow and while smiling , it wasnt effective. They might not have had enough staff that Sunday afternoon. I understand that you can get hints about what a table needs from looking at the tables eg are plates done ? but my strong feeling is that they might have noticed my table raising their hands for service and attention. Not everyone wants leisurely service - some of us have an event eg theatre to go to and want prompt service. The great skill of a team is to give the right service to each table.

Food and service both very good. However, toilet facilities in a very inconvenient place and insufficient as only 2 ladies cubicles , one of which was our of order. Also there was very little space to manoeuvre in the toilets especially if someone else was waiting.

Another visit to a cote restaurant but if I’m being picky Tavistock Rd was not up to Hays Galleria standard. My starter of goats cheese with tomatoes was not as good with presentation, not enough cheese and the tomatoes were small and quite tasteless. The ribeye steak was over done and the chips at all Cotes restaurants are dry and hard.

Table ready on arrival. One member of staff had difficulty remembering more than one thing at a time ( he had to be reminded three times that we had ordered a lemonade) but otherwise the service was excellent. The food was delicious and it is great vfm. Highly recommended. I have eaten in a number of Cotes and always been very impressed.

Nice food, but a very noisy table near the plate clearing area. A very busy restaurant and the staff, although trying as hard as they could, were overwhelmed at times. Not as enjoyable an experience as it should have been.

Great to see the Tavistock St branch return to form after a couple of slightly unsatisfactory visits. Savoie ham and charentais melon was a delicious & light summer starter, followed by a perfect steak. Just had room for a coupe noire for pudding. Lovely window table and charming service.

After enjoying the fantastic 42nd Street at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. We rounded the day off with a lovely meal at The Tavistock Street, Cote. As well as the meal, the service was of the usual Cote high standard. Luckily we had booked in advance, as many were unable to get a table, who had not.

The restaurant is very convenient for the many theatres in the Strand, Aldwych and round Covent Garden but if you travel by car the roads around have many diversions at the moment (July 2018) due to roadworks and parking is difficult. But the food at Cote is excellent and service good.
