Côte - Covent Garden

Had an enjoyable meal. Menu was just right for people going to the theater. Service was good and efficient. Was recommended the restaurant by a friend and I would recommend to others.

Even if you book a table, it won't make any different. We still needed to wait for over 10 minutes. After the main course we asked for the dessert menu, but it never came. ( the waitress was busy chatting with other male customers) The food was OK, but it wasn't one of good ones we have experienced in the past.

I think Cote is an excellent mid-price group of restaurants, and after visiting a number of branches we have rarely, if ever, been disappointed. This lunchtime meeting of former work colleagues was enjoyable and successful, enhanced by the service provided by the Tavistock Street staff.

Super pre-theatre menu! Very busy so do book. Great service. We had a great time. This restaurant is close to The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.

We always have a great experience at Cote Brasserie wherever we go. Consistently good, the food is superb, the customer service is second to none and the atmosphere is great.

Gas broken so only allowed cold menu items! Stressed manager kept pushing us out the way to test fire alarm. Nice waitresses though! Food average.

Despite being very busy the staff looked after us very well. The food was delicious and well presented and there was a variety of choices both foods and prices. A great start to a wonderful evening at The Royal Opera House which was just round the corner!!

Great atmosphere. Great food - the moules frites were delicious. Pre-theatre menu is excellent value for money. Would definitely recommend and would eat here again.

Fantastic friendly staff, could not do enough for us. Went with 88 year old parents for their 'after theatre' meal for 65th anniversary, they were delighted with the evening. Thank you

We arrived quite late for our meal but the staff members were very accommodating and ensured we were served promptly. The meal was delicious and we did not miss the theatre. Thank you Cote Brasserie.

Excellent. Good food served promptly. We had brunch and the choices were very good. Pleasant welcome and service. This is my second visit to Cote and I will certainly go again.

The food was very good value for money and the service was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was busy with a nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Usual Cote set-up but perhaps too many tables; far too busy at 6.45 pm. Table not ready and had to wait 5-10 minutes, which might have been a problem if we were going to the theatre. Very friendly and reasonably efficient service but the staff are struggling with the volume of guests between 6.00 pm and 8.00 pm. Food pretty reliable, as always, although new potatoes instead of frites forgotten and bread slow to come. Overall, a good experience - apart from the usual appalling noise problem. Why can't restaurants address this problem - so easily achieved. Prefer other Cotes.

Good range, great price. Set menu requires a side. Very busy and service had to be pushed to get out in good time for theatre performance even though we had 2 courses and 1hr 20..

Good good, decent price for the pre-theatre fixed menu. The only issue is cramming too many tables as close together as possible, it would be more pleasant if a bit more spacious.

4 of us ate on Friday evening & enjoyed the Pre-theatre 3 course menu. Delightful (Italian) waiter could not have been more efficient. From our Kir royale through to coffee we rated the menu highly - excellent choices, hot and perfectly cooked dishes. Only criticism was my disappointing melon starter: although juicy, it was rather hard and lacking in flavour.

I booked the day before online and we arrived for a pre-matinee meal. We arrived and we're shown to a lovely table in the window. We had cloud lemonade to drink as it was such a beautiful sunny day followed by the minute steak and frites. We had creme caramel to follow. The food was beautiful and so reasonable would definitely go again and highly recommend.

This is my favourite Cote Bistro and as usual did not disappoint. Food always of a high standard.Chose from the 10 year anniversary menu which includes a glass of champagne and 3 courses for £27.50 Which is excellent value.Everyone on my table enjoyed what they picked.Staff always extremely courteous and there is a great buzz to this particular branch.In my opinion Cote is hard to beat for an all round good time😃

Food excellent, service less so. Restaurant was busy, which is understandable given its location but staff seemed to be overwhelmed and a little stressed and we waited a very long time for our desserts and then the bill to be brought. My daughter wanted to reduce the amount of the service charge as a result but I was unwilling to do so as I could see how hard the staff were working. I have eaten at various branches of this chain and always had positive experiences previously. I would return to this restaurant in the hope that this was a one-off.

Friendly attentive staff, great food. Family friendly and a designated Gluten Free menu. Perfect location to combine with a West End show. I'd definitely go back.

Normally the service is very good. but last night it was poor. We had not finish are starters before main course come . Plates starter left and after that service slow. Food good as normal.

Good choice on the pre theatre menu and value for money. If eaten in Cote before the portions are smaller but at the price and for the speed of delivery, (essential for theatre trip,) you can't complain

The fixed price two or three course menu is excellent. Delicious and very reasonable. The service is very quick and the atmosphere buzzing. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a celebratory dinner for my 80th birthday with free Kier Royales and fizzy. The food was excellent, as ever and the service was also very good and friendly.

Prix fixe menu excellent value, mackerel starter a little on the small side but the hake and chickpeas ample. Delightful service despite being incredibly busy at peak pre-theatre time on a wet Wednesday evening. Still managed 2 courses and 2 beers in an hour. Very convenient for the Opera House whence we were destined

Waiter was charming and efficient. Had a Presecco while waiting for my friends and table , food and experience just right. Many thanks to all at Cote.

The food was not up to the usual Cote standard. One fish dish had no veg or potatoes with it and the waiter did not point this out to us and my goats cheese and roasted vegetable salad had hardly any roasted vegetables. Two course not up to standard. The restaurant was. Very busy so may be the reason.

Lovely meal. Restaurant was very busy, hence a little noisy but that's positive too! Friendly staff and good value. We would recommend this place to couples and families.

This is a nicely-decorated historic setting. Our table next to the window was less noisy than most, though the tables are uncomfortably close together. The food was of high quality and was good value. Service was exemplary in pleasantness and expedition.

Service was efficient & swift - attentive & friendly. Food well-prepared & delicious - also a generous amount. A most enjoyable experience which we fully intend to repeat!

Another fantastic visit to Cote. thank you so much, yet again. a great ending to another fab weekend in london before heading back up north.

We had booked a table for four for 18:30 on a Saturday. Although the place was very busy the service was excellent and the quality of the food (pre-theatre menu) was good and great value for money. We've eaten at a number of Cote restaurants in London and cannot recommend highly enough, the food and service are consistently of a high standard.

Wow....food was very good...amazing value for money....and the service was ten out of ten A great evening and would definitely recommend this place. Keep up the good work Only one suggestion....change the deserts on the set menu....they have been the same for years!!!!

Took a friend there for a late lunch, as I am always talking about this restaurant. She is not one for chain restaurants, but was thoroughly surprised by the quality of food, professionalism of staff and service. She enjoyed the food and I was glad that this restaurant did not disappoint. The only reason I gave a five star rating instead of six was that the bottled water was not chilled, but the staff did replenish our glasses with plenty of ice. Otherwise it was PERFECT!! Thank You!

Lovely food and great service as always from Cote. Staff were cheerful, attentive and excellent. Portion sizes just right. Good choice on the pre theatre menu. Would definitely eat here again.

We booked a table at the cote tavistock street as we were attending the royal ballet school summer performance. There were four of us in the party and for two of the guests it was their first visit to a cote restaurant both were incredibly impressed by Pre theatre set menu and the wide variety of dishes on offer. Needless to say both the staff and the food were up to the usual excellent standard, so once again I would like to pass on my compliments to both the waiting room and kitchen staff that create such a wonderful atmosphere and turning a dining experience into a memorable occasion.

As always excellent food and great atmosphere 😀 Always enjoy visiting Cotes excellent service and never feel as if you are being rushed out will keep going back .

Food and service were good but the restaurant was so busy pre theatre that it was obvious the kitchen couldn't cope. We got there at 6 and didn't get our main course until 7 so we had no time for desert - such a shame as I know how good the deserts are!! They also wasted time by serving the meals before giving us cutlery - totally mad.

The pre-theatre dinner menu was very good value for money with plenty of choice. The food was very good and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Lime and soda drink not straight forward. Warm wine. Lukewarm food. Squeeze around table and all access routes. Blocked toilet which is downstairs right next to kitchen.

From all the Cotê restaurants that I've visited, this one was a little bit disappointing: our table was greasy and we had to wait more than 10 minutes for it to be cleaned. And even the food wasn't that great, as usual, particularly my mine dish was slightly overcooked and under seasoned. When receiving the bill, I've noticed that promotion I qualified for was not included, however, that was rectified quickly and additionally our wine was taken off the bill - that was a very nice gesture!

We booked a table for six to have breakfast before going to the opera. The food was good but my wife's breakfast was not particularly warm. Perhaps having six orders to produce at once was the cause of this. Service was good particularly indealing with our various requests for type of breakfast, juices and coffees. Unfortunately we had to remind the waiting staff about the fruit juices afetr we were almost at the end of eating our breakfasts. Overall it was good but could do better.

Quality of food and drink and service good and speedy but the restaurant was so extremely noisy it was difficult to have any conversation with companions.

Good food, enjoyable meal. The restaurant staff were reasonably able to deal with issues and food was quite good. We were slightly disappointed in the time it took to pay.

Very good waiter extremely helpful and promot as my nephew was on a short lunch break Steak very good and tasty with lovely creamed spinach. Good dessert and coffee. All in all a very enjoyable lunch Definitely make regular vistas.

Visited this restaurant pre theatre on what was a very wet evening. We were allocated a table near the door but immediately felt we were in a strong draught. We asked for an alternative table and were immediately moved to a table in the window which was much better - no draught and nice to watch the world go by. Our drinks arrived quickly as did our food order. Menu choice was good and our meals were tasty and good value for money. Only real complaint was the ladies toilet facilities - only two cubicles both very small and right next to the kitchen. The toilet seat in one cubicle was incorrectly fitted so the lid fell forwards and hit you on the back as you sat down. The toilet in the other cubicle was blocked and unusable. A queue quickly built up for the one usable toilet. Otherwise a lovely restaurant experience.

Excellent meal, served by good waiting staff who showed interest in their roles. The food was tasty and well presented and the house wine good quality

We both really enjoyed the one course we had at lunch time today. My Risotto Vert was one of the best I've had in a long time - and I often have risotto when eating out, so have much experience from which to draw comparison. My first visit to a Cote restaurant too, but will definitely not be my last.

Excellent service and food as ever. Good portion sizes. None of this nouvelle cuisine crap. The great thing about this brasserie is the consistency. They maintain the highest standards.

We enjoyed the pre-theatre menu which was served promptly, and was appetising. We were well looked after and were not hurried, bearing in mind the restaurant was very busy.
