Excellent service and high standard, medium priced food. We visit Cote As first choice when we travel round the UK and are delighted to find the chain is expanding and the quality never changes. Specials, are the best options though d favourites remain. Sadly Bream has disappeared for now, we hope it will be back?

I was eating with a friend before going to the ballet. I am on crutches and they could not have been more helpful, finding a table with plenty of room and easily accessible. The meal was excellent and very good value for money. My steak tartar was very good and the fish stew excellent. My only (minor) complaint was that it would have been nice to have had, or been offered bread with the stew to mop up the lovely juices. We were also a bit rushed at the end as I needed to allow extra time to get to the theatre but they delivered the puds swiftly when asked together with the bill and coffee so we were in plenty of time. I will certainly go back.

Really excellent staff and service who made one feel welcome whilst moving things quickly to get one's meal on the table in time to make the theatre. The food was fine for a pre theatre, central London affair. Would certainly return when returning to Covent Garden.

We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table because they were very busy with theatre-goers, but the staff were very accommodating and helpful and we were given a free drink for the trouble! I have only ever had good food and good service here, for a very reasonable price.

We were just looking for a quick unfussy brunch before a midday show in Covent Garden. We were counting on efficient service and a prompt meal - Côte delivered as usual. Tried the vegetarian breakfast this time, yummy and great value for money with a free juice and hot drink.

We had an early matinee at the opera house so I booked a table for a late lunch at the tavistock street branch. As always will received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our table. Once again Cote have excelled themselves with October set lunch menu it has some of the most delicious starters and main courses included. Definitely something for all tastes. We both chose the muscles for starters followed by the chicken breast and sauté potatoes I had a green salad and we chose the White House wine which is absolutely superb. It was wonderful to see the friendly waiting staff who were attentive without being intrusive. There is no doubt about it Cote, offers excellent value for money with first class service and excellent food.

Being in the heart of Theatreland, they're really good at getting you served & out in time for your show. We had no trouble getting through 3 courses in a little over an hour, even though it was packed. Service was speedy & friendly. The pre-theatre set menu is a good deal & good quality.

Not as good as other Cotes outside the West End. Tables closer together, noisier and less good toilets. Portions also seemed smaller. But good value none the less.

I enjoyed Cote this evening - we wanted a simple, quick meal, and that is what we had! Neither of us is drinking this week, unfortunately, and we each had a different fish dish from the set menu, and a dessert, and were perfectly happy with our choices. We got in early at 5 pm and it was nice and quiet - but of course by the time we left at 6.30 it was very busy and noisy. But I do think Cote is wonderful value, and I do highly recommend it for a pre-theatre meal OR a later more leisurely dinner. The staff are very good, friendly, quick and efficient.

We visited Cote Bistro with friends from Australia prior to a visit to the opera. We all enjoyed a superb meal with excellent service which surprised and pleased us as the restaurant was buzzing on a very busy Saturday evening. How they can maintain the standards when they are so busy is a credit to the staff and management. This was not our first visit to Cote Bistro nor will it be our last. We would highly recommend it

Great food and the friendliest staff in the West End. Perfect pre-theatre visit and certainly our favourite. Rib Eye steak was outstanding. Lovely chilled bottle of dry white too.
