Côte - Covent Garden

Food and service good all a bit cramped and too close to next tables. Use cote wherever possible as always sure of a happy experience.

The food was excellent and very good value for money. The service was friendly and helpful but a bit slow. This didn't matter as we were not in a hurry, but we often had to ask twice.

It's a very busy restaurant and everyone is rushed. But the service is very fast and the staff are super friendly. Great price for pre-theatre menu. We'll be back.

Good food. Excellent value. Great service. We were a group of six and the restaurant was very busy but we were not rushed at all to eat and leave and spent a great afternoon.

Excellent all round. Even though we are half hour early for our booking - despite the clocks going forward , we were flagging being tourists! - the staff accommodated us with no problem. Consistently good food & service

The team at Côte Brasserie - Covent Garden - Tavistock Street should be very pleased - they provided an extremely quick service. The food was excellent and very good value.

Good meal with attentive staff Space was a little tight although it did not spoil our enjoyment of the meal in a restaurant that was really lively

Tasty food, well presented. Good value set menu with enough choices. Service was good in spite of the restaurant being very busy with pre-theatre diners - including us! Very convenient location too.

Excellent brasserie food with quick and friendly service. Good value and a wide choice of dishes. Also nice to have iced water brought straight away.

Great food but crushed in like sardines. Moved to another table which was better. Service wonderful - staff very cute. Would recommend for pre-theatre - thanks

Attentive service and excellent value. We ate off the specials menu (as we often do). Great fish soup; reasonable steak if slightly sinewy. We recommend joining their Rewards programme; we will certainly return.

Good quailty food at a very reasonabe price, served quickly by a friendly,helpful staff. We visit london annually, and after eating here last year, had no hesitation about returning here.

Upon arrival, instally seated and served with drinks... one of which was free! Order was taken quickly and food arrived soon after! Meals were amazing!

We were going to see 42nd Street at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane The Cote in Tavistock Street is just opposite once again the most enjoyable lunch, Excellent food, fabulous service, It really put us in the mood for the show. and made for a perfect day.

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 all very good and served nice and hot, there is a good choice and the set menu is an absolute bargain. We only had 1 downside and that was 1 of our group was forgotten about as their main course didnt turn up until the rest of had all finished. The waiting staff dont write any orders down, which is fine if they can remember everything, but this has happened to us before so whats wrong with pen and paper?

Delicious food, excellent service. This Cote is very glamorously decorated and it really is an impressive place to dine. Staff are brilliant and very friendly. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great food, I had the mussels and steak with frites, some had whitebait and terrine - all was gorgeous. Very good service and close to so many theatres

Good meal and attentive service despite being rammed pre theatre. Might be a good idea at these busy times to have a sign outside saying "no tables now until xpm" we watched a stream of people come in hopefully wasting their time and that if your staff

Although we turned up 30 mins. early for our booking we were accepted very happily. Also although the restaurant was very busy our orders were taken promptly and efficiently and our food came in good time. The pre-theatre menu for 3 courses is extremely good valu and well worth considering.

The food was good and reasonably priced The waiting staff were attentive and we didn't have to wait long for our food. You might want to take a torch as it was very dark in there and difficult even to read the menu.

An excellent meal. Attentive and friendly service. Good choice of starters, main courses and sweets, all reasonably priced. Good choice of wines and soft drinks

Excellent food. Good ambience. Good choice of food on the menu the jug of water was free and very welcome very friendly staff Good temperature

Perfect meal in every way. Service was excellent with a great atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was excellent too, beautifully displayed and hot. Thank you for a great meal.

Food was well cooked and presented attractively. The items on the menu are sold at a very good price. Efficient and friendly service throughout the meal.

Cote is our favourite venue for pre-theatre. The service and the food were first class. Needless to say we will return indeed we will be back on Friday!

Tasty food. Efficient and friendly staff. Advisable to book between five and seven o clock. It gets very busy as in the middle of theatre land.

Great food, staff friendly but not intrusive , buzzy atmosphere; had a lovely birthday evening, Asked to change our first table because it was a bit too noisy and that wasn't a problem at all.

It was crowded with the pre-show rush but we expected that and the staff were working hard to cope. The choice of food was wide and what the 5 of us had was all good. The staff were friendly and helpful despite the rush (until about 7.00 p.m.)

Great food as always & excellent & friendly service. Cote in Tavistock Street in Covent Garden is 2 minutes from the Royal Opera House & in the heart of Theatreland in the West End. Perfect for a pre or post theatre meal.

Had a reservation for 7. We were squished into what was clearly a table for 6. Food was good but as we were crowded into a small space it was difficult to enjoy.

The food was good and exceptional value. Service attentive but not overly so. My friends and I know we can always rely on vote and that is why we come again and again.

Good food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, and excellent value for money. Cote is a great place for either a quick pre-theatre supper or a more leisurely meal!

We had the 3-course pre-theatre lunch. Excellent value at £13.95. Whitebait for two, sea bream (could have been served with some potatoes!) and steak frites, creme caramel and apple crumble - all dishes first-rate ingredients and very well cooked. A glass of muscadet and one of chinon were very good. Total bill for two including service was £43. Service was friendly and efficient, and we enjoyed a relaxing hour and a half lunch before going to our theatre showing. The one jarring note was that when we arrived we were given the choice of three 2-tops - one beside an occupied 4-top, the other two intruded upon by a pillar. We asked if we could sit at an adjacent 4-top (the restaurant was almost empty) but that was refused, so we chose the least uncomfortable 2-top. By the time we left, the restaurant was half full, and we might easily have been given any of half a dozen vacant 4-tops. We won't go back to this restaurant as a couple just because there are so many (TOO many) uncomfortable 2-tops.

I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant., My wife and I went for a pre theatre meal and had the most enjoyable time. The choice of menu was excellent, but the evening was made special by the really pleasant and welcoming staff, and although the place was extremely busy, nothing was too much trouble. Particular mention for the Manager (trainee) who was exceptional in his approach, and we will certainly return at an early date.

Great food. Friendly service. Don't bother about requesting additional requests when booking online. They completely ignore dietary requirements and you end up repeating at the time of visiting.

Staff and service, food, wine etc. all very good, as usual. Very relaxed and enjoyable pre-ballet Friday brunch. Recommend in general but especially for anyone wanting proximity to ROH.

Great staff and great food. Wide and varied menu. I visit this restaurant regularly and every visit is always a success. The Praline Crepe is superb

nice place. very handy for theatres. Good service with nice staff. Food Ok. Not stunning but nice enough. I would go again for pre theatre for reasonable food and ease.

Extremely busy restaurant. Very good and pleasant service, our Italian waiter was really friendly and helpful. As usual great pre theatre meal with variety of choice to suit everybody's taste.

Excellent service. Set menu very good value. First steaks poor (one poorly cooked and other very gristley) but both changed without fuss and we really enjoyed the meal.

We were shown to the table of our choice and the service was excellent as was the food. The staff also were most helpful in not insisting that we had the free bottle of wine on that day and contacting Quandoo on our behalf. There were only two of us yesterday evening. There will be four or five of us visiting the restaurant on 30th March when a full bottle would be much more appreciated than leaving more than half a bottle of wine yesterday. We visit Cote in Convent Garden regularly and have always been satisfied.

Great service and great staff - friendly, efficient, and good value. This is the second branch I have used and both have been excellent. I will definitely be going back.

Very good food and service always a favourite which never disapoints - will return soon with more guests. a must pre or post theatre, for lunch or supper

excellent throughout. Our arrival was anticipated and the table was ready for us on our arrival. The menu was tempting making it difficult to choose as a number of dishes would have been very acceptable. Service maintained the standard and the bill was reasonable in terms of London prices generally. I think value for money is a major attraction to Cote for A lot of people.

The restaurant has a nice cosy atmosphere. There is a good choice on both the a la carte and set menus, and the food was as delicious as always. The service was friendly and attentive.

The service was excellent and the food is always amazing, the value for money is definitely the best part about the restaurant! A go to of mine.

Nice service and interesting choice on the set menu. BUT we were stuck at a table in a side corridor, very hugga mugga, and cramped! Penny P

Good food quick service which was necessary as needed to get to the theatre . Would definitely recommmend for other persons wanting good quick meal.

We both had steak frites. My husband's steak was very tough but was changed immediately with no fuss.Problem dealt with perfectly. Welcome. and service excellent. Booking process simple and secure. Cote always delivers on value for money
