Great service. They had kept the best table for us. Excellent food as ever. This branch never lets us down. We never felt hurried. Would highly recommend.

We normally love Cote and have been recurring customers. But this time we were slightly disappointed. The cauliflower soup was like water without much flavour and had it not been on the Pre-Theatre menu, which I appreciate is good value, I would have sent it back. The wine named Lagarde was like berry juice, why supply it?

Food very nice. Service very good. Only downside was we were sat near to a table full of four cackling loud women which did have a bit of a negative impact on the experience. (Why does this always happen to me?) At least we were not sat next to them like the unfortunate foursome who were. Anyway that takes nothing away from the excellent staff and lovely food

Lovely food and very helpful staff. Couldn't be more impressed. Greeted with a welcome drink, they'd held the table despite us being a bit late (be warned there's a couple of cote restaurants in the area check you're at the right one) amazing value ore theatre menu would definitely return

Service was a bit patchy, but OK, but my main issue is that I was ill that evening and have no doubt it was 'something I ate'! As I didn't eat anything else that day, my focus is inevitably on Cote. For you information I had salad with Roquefort dressing, which upon first tasting elicited a spontaneous comment of 'wow, that's strong'. My main course was wild mushroom risotto, which could also be the culprit.

Pre theatre meal. Prompt service with a smile. Excellent value for two course pre-theatre menu. Too full to manage the equally excellent value three course menu! Tap water bought to the table without having to be asked if we would like bottles of still or sparkling bottled water. How refreshing! Would highly recommend but definitely book before hand.

The service was very slick, and very friendly, all the staff was most attentive, I had the pork belly, and have to say it was cooked to perfection, Cote will definitely be on my list the next time we are in London. Thank you very much.

The meal at Cote Covent Garden was lovely! I was celebrating my 50th birthday and my husband and I were greeted with pink prosecco on arrival. My husband has some mobility issues but we had a lovely window table. The beef bourginon that hubby had looked great but my fillet steak was marvellous!! Will definitely return soon.

Very busy Cote as it's in the heart of the theatre district in the West End, staff are courteous, prompt, however be patient with them as they are very busy. Food is as you would expect from a Cote Brasserie. Do not expect to get a walk in table during peek times

Lovely pre theatre dinner menu. Good value and selection of 2 or 3 courses. Quite small portions but went for 3 courses so was enough for us. Leeks in starter difficult to cut with knife, ?? so ended up leaving a fair bit. Sea bass really nice and chocolate mousse delicious. Would recommend.

We dine regularly at various Cote restaurants when we go to London but also St Albans & Amersham. Service was a little slow as it was very busy. The only other complaint/feedback about this latest visit was that the duck confit (my wife's favourite) not now served with any potatoes, just cabbage.

Although we arrived early and they were busy, they managed to fit us in and the food and service were excellent. We noticed quite a few people trying to get a meal but they were turned away so it would be wise to book. It was a Saturday night however.

We told the waiter that we were having a pre-theatre dinner & therefore somewhat pressed for time, but despite this the service was very slow which meant we did not have time for a dessert. The waiter did not come to the table to collect the payment & so my partner had to take it to the desk. Not good. We arrived on time at 5.30 &left at 6.40 - plenty of time for a full dinner had the service been more attentive. You were not that busy at that time. We received far better service at one of your other branches when they were far busier.
