I have been to other cote restaurants in the past and probably wouldn't return to this one. Our table which I booked was delayed by 10 minutes and then we were shoved into a rather uncomfortable corner because we were probably the youngest people there. It seemed that we were treated with a little less respect than the elderly couple two tables over from us. I love the food here but would get it at a different venue

The staff were all fantastic, my father is restricted to a wheelchair but two strong waiters helped him in - we were no bother to the busy restaurant and looked after really well. Food was great value and well presented. Highly recommend as a perfect pre-theatre eatery. Thank you Cote.

Great value meal with plenty of choice on the pre theatre menu. Great staff and service even though the restaurant was extremely busy. Only complaint was the white wine we ordered was served warm!

Food was the usual good standard and exceptional value for money. The restaurant was packed on Wednesday lunchtime and our table for two was jammed in a slot of other small tables, very uncomfortable as no space between, waiters knocked my chair as they passed by as its so tightly packed. There is a huge choice of nice places in Covent Garden so I will not use this Cote again.

I think that Tavistock Street is probably my favourite of the various branches of Côte I visit. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast and the staff were, as usual, very helpful.

service was slow, one of the dishes was too over-salted to eat, gap between first course and main course far too long, no-one came to ask if the food was ok.

We booked Côte Brasserie - Covent Garden for a classic pre-theater meal and we were not disappointed. the food was excellent and the staff friendly. The dessert was a tad slow coming meaning we had to rush a bit at the end but otherwise it was a good experience.

After forgetting our main course, they quickly rectified and to make it up to us offered free dessert and coffee. Unfortunately, we had theater tickets and had to leave. So they took our drinks off the bill. Thank you Cote Brasserie, I will certainly be back.

The lunch menu was very good value at £13.95 for three courses. The service was excellent and tailored to our pace. We were encouraged to stay as long as we liked and, in the end, we stayed for four hours chatting to a friend from overseas who was visiting London. The dark chocolate pot was exceptionally good, as was the bream with ratatouille although, in our opinion, the risotto could perhaps have had a stronger flavour. A most enjoyable lunch, although Cote at Hays Galleria still remains our favourite Cote restaurant.

As a regular at THIS branch of cote I was pleasantly surprised by the new June set menu, we went for a late lunch after visiting the opera house and decided upon the set lunch menu we both had the avocado crab salad to start which was absolutely delicious a fresh crab and the creaminess of the avocado was absolutely mouthwatering. The main course I had the pan fried chicken breast and my partner had the fish cakes on a bed of spinach with poached egg on top. We selected a very pleasant wine from the menu to accompany the meal the whole meal was exceptional value and the service was exemplary. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant to the moment we left the service was absolutely fault less, It made a perfect conclusion to a perfect day,

Average quality food, and not great selection of wines by the glass. The waiters were friendly though. Don't be surprised if you're approached by homeless people asking for money if you sit on the outside tables

Second time at Cote, Tavistock Street - good food and good service. Had table round a corner which seemed to get us forgotten initially, but as soon as we alerted them to us we were given excellent service and a discount (not requested). Even said we didn't have to pay the service charge but we were happy to due to how the issue had been dealt with.

Booked for 6.15, seated 6.30 - they were incredibly busy which obviously delayed service. Food fine and our waiter didn't charge us for dessert because of our wait - an unexpected and appreciated gesture.

We had to wait 15 mins for our table which wouldn't normally be a problem but we only had an hour before we had to leave for the theatre. However we were assured that the service would be quick and indeed it was excellent. We were given a glass of kir royale while we waited an a bowl of Kalamari as soon as we sat down. And true to their word we managed three courses in an hour! Would highly recommend for pre theatre menu but allow more time!

Nice food and nice environment in a good location. The waiting staff were a little less impressive with only one exception. We had a lovely evening and would return due to the central location.
