Côte - Covent Garden

Our first experience at Cote, which we very much enjoyed. The choices in each course was excellent, the quality of the food and the presentation also excellent , as was the service. one very small issue , space was limited due to tables being very close. understandable given the number of customers ,I guess. But it will not stop us from returning .

Were initially slow to take our order but improved service after this delay. Very friendly waiting staff and food was very tasty, overall great service.

We were late and they gave away our table so we waited 20mns in the doorway (with my mum, 85), had 40 minutes to eat.

Great friendly service and good food. Pre theatre menu is great value for money . Went with my partner before going to see a show

Wish they would get the order right first time - one of the party eat her meal when the rest had finished! Otherwise good atmosphere and good value for money food.

I love this restaurant. I have eaten there many, many times and I have never had a poor meal there. The lunch/pre theatre menu is excellent value. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cote, Tavistock Street to anyone.

Aperitif brought after first course. Steak frites good but plates cold. Took three attempts to get mayonnaise despite waiter offering it. Felt hurried, compared with other Cotes this was not one I would choose.

It was, as ever, very crowded, but our waiter was charming and helpful. The food was good, of course, but that was the reason for going there.

The fixed price menu is good value for central London. We had a three course meal for four with a bottle of wine for under £90 including service. The food was well presented and the service unobtrusive.

Lovely helpful staff, nice ambience and excellent food as always. The speedy menu is super - we were a part of four and there was something for everyone. Also speedy service.

Great food, as always, with good range of choice in th a la carte and set price menus. Staff were lovely and we were well looked after. Nice atmosphere.

Great atmosphere and good service, lovely choice of menus will be back! We really enjoyed our meal and were very well looked after during our stay, we would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.

My daughter and I had a very pleasant meal last evening after a matinee at the theatre. I am a regular at Tavistock street and always find the staff happy and helpful and the food is very good. Adele

Very busy and buzzy restaurant. Food good and friendly service on the many occasions we have dined here. Recommend for pre or post theatre dining or if just strolling in Coventry Garden.

Top class food and value. Very professional staff. Lively atmosphere. Great dining. Amazing vfm for central London. But that's typical for other central London cote venues and why they are so popular.

Excellent staff. Great food. Could not have done more for us. To be that busy and still make every table feel special is a real credit.

The food was great, the service excellent but there were really too many tables and we felt hemmed in by other diners. And staff had problems navigating around tables.

We reserved a table for 2 for 1.15pm, got there at 1pm and only had to wait about 5 minutes to get our table. The menu is great, do ask for Pre-Theatre or Weekly Lunch/Early Dinner Menu (depending on where you are, it's the same menu but called differently) as they offer 2 or 3 courses for exceptional price. We ordered all 3 courses at the same time, which might have been a mistake - we got our starters (overly delicious, really great!) and then waited 30 minutes before our server went down to the kitchen and realised they must have not seen our order. We did get offered free drinks on the house as compensation, which was great. Mains were again good food, but we waited an extra 10 minutes on our dessert due to the kitchen having not seen that either - which got us a coffee/tea on the house each. So overall great food, decent portion sizes for the price and amazing customer service - only next time we wouldn't mind getting the food quicker.

Service was good, well attendance from staff. Good food & ambience. Menu was varied, catered for everyone in our group, very reasonable in price , would go again.

Greeted at the front door with a smile and quickly shown to our table. The waiter Arnas was very good and attentive. Wine was great as was the starter, dinner and dessert. A most enjoyable dinner. Have already planned to meet friends there again in just over a week.

great service and great food as usual. we always go to cote for pre-theatre dinner as great value for money and the food is always delicious.

The food was fabulous and different. The staff were all pleasant. There was a great buzzing atmosphere to the place. We will definitely go again.

Great location Friendly welcome Good choice of menus Noisy when busy Waited over an hour for main course - waiters very busy but food very slow to emerge from kitchen As pre-theatre, no time for dessert ☹️ Or coffee ☕️ Love Cote usually but this visit was disappointing

Great value for money, excellent and attentive service. Ordered pre-theatre and food was timed excellently considering we were there at the busiest time. Well situated for theatres so perfect find - the steak and frites is just the best I've had outside France!

Friendly and efficient staff; good, reliable, basic brasserie food; a lively but relaxing ambience. I woukd definitely return and definitely recommend to friends and family.

We had really good service, the food was authentic French. The best we have had in a long time Did the pre theatre menu which was really good value.

Was heaving due to the pre-theatre crowd, and despite booking we were bundled into a distant corner despite other tables being available. Service was sloppy, the waiter not paying much attention. Food was tasty, but not the best visit to Cote.

A reliable favourite - good food at reasonable prices and the service is always very friendly and efficient. Charming location and a warm friendly interior.

Great food, great service and great value. Would definitely recommend. Near Covent Garden and the theatres. Great value set menu. Recommend booking to ensure you get a table.

Excellent! Great service and great food, a real bargain! Would most definitely pay them a visit again! A good variety on the menu, every dish we had was fantastic

Excellent and prompt service even though it was busy. Delicious meal. Although it was very crowded and tables were very close together, the staff managed extremely well. I can highly recommend particularly for a pre-show meal

The service we received was excellent, perfect table for our group of 6 people. Menu suited all tastes and was very good value for money. Both the red and the white wine chosen were memorable. We will go again. Thanks to everyone.

Service good apart from non delivery of water after three separate requests. Food good. Reasonably priced meal. Draughty seating by door but swift delivery of food as requested. Friendly staff.

Warm welcome, attentive service, excellent food and very good value. Pre-theatre so time mattered, and everything worked smoothly from start to finish. Impressive and most satisfactory.

Good food and excellent value. Very pleasant ambience. Service was very good and the welcome warm. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. A wide choice of dishes.

No warm welcome as usually given. Waited AGES to be offered menus and be served, on the point of walking out. Food was delicious though.

Easy to book a reservation- staff were helpful and took my booking requests into consideration. Easy for elderly relatives to access and food was quick

Good atmosphere and excellent friendly service. It is a good place for a relaxed friendly get together with friends and family. Convenient for theatres too.

Choice on the menu was good, the food excellent and the service was great. Thought the pricing was good and it was reallyally good value for this part of London.

We were a family group of 5 having lunch - we all had a great time, lively fun atmosphere, delicious food. Will definitely come again.

Food & service were very good. We all enjoyed it and it was special being Mother's Day. My meal came later than the others but the staff were very attentive and I was given olives while I waited.

At Cote the food is excellent and very good value, and the service usually quick and efficient, but on this occasion everything went wrong. The Tavistock Street restaurant was very busy and had no record of our booking made weeks before, but fortunately managed to find us a table. The service was so slow that it took 40 minutes before our starter arrived - even though we were having the "quick" pre-theatre menu! - and then the main course was brought when we'd only just been given the starter! Because we were going to the theatre we consequently did not have enough time for dessert. We were given a complimentary coffee, and not charged for an additional vegetable. Cote needs to focus on resolving these issues rapidly if it is to retain its reputation and customers.

Good food good service will go again great location breakfast that sets u up for he day didn't eat till late at night after this breakfast

This is my favourite Cote restaurant, which I have been going to for a few years now, as the service is exceptional in every way!

An incredibly warm welcome from all the staff. Food piping hot and served quickly. First bottle of white wine was room temperature but on request was changed for a chilled bottle. An excellent pre theatre venue.

Good food served by very attentive and pleasant staff. We enjoyed the pre theatre menu and all three courses were presented well and served promptly.

Always have great service in this restaurant. The food is fantastic value. We went for the pre-theatre set menu which was great value. Staff are also super friendly and quick. Really recommend.

Theirs not a lot I can say because I go back their Time and time again It's such good value and the food and service is great

Good food but particularly lovely friendly and helpful waitress. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she served 12 of us with charm and fun.

Excellent value for money. Ideal place to enjoy pre-theatre meal as service efficient but not rushed. Have eaten here before and also good for regular seasonal changes to the set menus.
