Côte - Covent Garden

It was a very good experience, the food was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely a place to visit just not during the busy hrs because it is very loud.

Very well organised restaurant with friendly, efficient and helpful staff, particularly Johanna. Timing of food was good without any feeling of being rushed. Fixed price pre-theatre menu was varied. Good starter was let down by an underwhelming main, (haddock parmentier - there was no smoke flavour to the fish, cheese flavour was lacking, sauce watery and leeks undercooked). Desserts were better than main.

Always a good a reliable choice. Attentive service, good selection of alternatives in a French Bistro style from the menu, and excellent value for money. Another great lunch, thank you.

The welcome was warm and polite, the service was excellent and the food was of the usual high quality that we've come to expect from Côte.

Very good service, and good food. Only problem it was a bit noisy, but I guess there's not much can be done about that. We had a very pleasant time though.

Food and staff were excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Have been to different branches and the service and food is always great. I Would highly recommend.

Reasonably priced french fair in nice surroundings with good service even when very busy. Try the previous theatre menu excellent value for those on budget

We called in for a late lunch after attending a piano recital in Covent Garden, From the moment we entered the restaurant the service was exemplary, the lunch menu had a wide variety of dishes in fact so many it was hard to choose. The food was delicious and extremely well presented. I can highly recommend this branch of cote

The pre-theatre menu is of sound quality, though limited, and is good value. Service was excellent. As always in Cote the tables were uncomfortably close together. Some silly music, but not too loud.

Always excellent service. Sometimes a bit loud with pre-theatre crowds. But worth it. Always advise booking due to popularity. always good value for money. Lesley

Food was good, but tables were too close together. Service was we'll paced and we enjoyed the overall experience. A nice buzzy atmosphere. Friendly service

High quality as always - good food and service. We are regular visitors to the Cote chain of restaurants and will, of course, visit again.

The food was good, as always. We did have a trainee waitress who was a little confused about the order which meant we had to wait for the third starter to arrive. Other than that we had another enjoyable pre theatre supper.

Very busy restaurant but the staff were extremely efficient and friendly. The food we had was excellent and good value for money. I would recommend this restaurant highly

Excellent service, good food, great value for money, busy ambience helpful staff. The Cotes du Rhone and the sauvignon blanc were particularly good and it was very enjoyable. We will come again!

We were in London to watch our son run in the 2017 London Marathon. He achieved a personal best of 3H36 and we celebrated with an excellent meal at Cote. Good food, served pleasantly - to be recommended.

DON'T CHANGE A THING. FOOD VERY TASTY AND GOOD CHOICE MENU. REASONABLY PRICED. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE. NICE BUZZ. REALLY ENJOYED OUR VISIT. WE CAME A LONG WAY FROM COLCHESTER IN ESSEX. PLEASE CONSIDER OPENING A BRANCH HERE............

Nice food, nice staff. Very enjoyable meal. This is the third visit and we have never been disappointed. Tried the pre-theatre menu and it was good value.

Excellent service. Friendly staff who are particularly helpful. The manageress is very hands on, very efficient and ensures everything runs smoothly. She is a complete delight!

The food was delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was buzzy. The staff were delightful. And it was great value. What more can you ask???

I always have a great experience at Cote, good food, good friendly service and reasonably priced. Why go anywhere else when this is so good.

Food was delicious and service was excellent. We went for brunch, they weren't busy so let us keep the table as long as we needed. Very happy.

I had my absolute favourite dessert, 'Iced Berries in a White Chocolate Sauce'. It was truly delicious! Overall great food and wine and fab service.

Had a nice table by the window. The food was really nice and the service very good. Not rushed and a nice pre theatre meal.

Lovely food and atmosphere! Great for a night with friends pre or post theatre. Friendly and efficient staff and very good value for money. Will go again

As always - excellent food and very friendly and efficient service. We have been coming here for several years now and the standard is consistently high.

Excellent fast service as usual. Perfect pre theatre venue. Food and wine terrific value. We arrived early but were welcomed anyway with order of drinks taken in minutes.

Excellent- we arrived 15 mins early but were accommodated. The champagne we ordered was not fully chilled so we were given two free glasses of bubbly. The food was good, hot and served with a smile. A good experience.

Excellent menu and very friendly staff.Always a pleasure to go there and also reasonably priced for the Westend. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming

Excellent pre theatre meal with friendly staff and efficient service. Good bistro food and good value for money. Champagne by the glass at reasonable prices and a good wine selection.

Have been happy with this place for years. Always good food and great staff. Great if you are in a rush but relaxing if you have time to kill.

Very good pre theatre meal. Good service, decent food. Would go back. Now the rest is just to make the words up as there is not much more to say.

Food was very good. Service friendly and the complementary kir royale very welcome! Only hitch that happened was my friend and I were shown to separate tables.

A good meal served in the Covent Garden Cote, in time for us to get to the theatre on time! The Cote staff are always helpful and pleasant too!

The food at Cote chain is usually much better. I think the pre-theater rush got the best of the cook. The food was bland and under seasoned.

My guest's egg Florentine was cold, the replacement was lukewarm at best. My main course of chicken and cous cous was also lukewarm. Service was fine and the manageress apologetic.

Excellent steak and chips as usual and friendly and efficient service in time for us to get to the theatre on time. We were given kir royals on the house despite the fact that my voucher was not applicable. Very kindly dealt with and appreciated. We will return.

We had a very good experience, very professionally and efficiently served. Good value for money. Will go again and again. Will recommend to our friends.

No nonsense French-style brasserie with good food & excellent service. The lunchtime special menu is excellent value & quality. Lovely egg Florentine to start, followed by an excellent minute steak, and then chilled summer berries with a white chocolate sauce. Yum yum !

it was a lovely experience, the waiters are kind and it is one of the best value pre 7pm meals I have found around Covent Garden.

Very busy but great staff really focused on the job. As always good value attractive food. The training system by the group must be second to none. Very well done. PA UK Guild of Food Writers.

The food and the staff were lovely but it was very noisy where we were sitting and as I have hearing in one ear I found it difficult to communicate with my friend at times.

Fab lunch, excellent service and food as always. We used our rewards and had a free bottle of wine. Great pre theatre lunch. Highly recommended

Fantastic staff. Smiling service despite the restaurant being full to bursting. Great food. Lovely set menu and a very diverse a la carte menu. 5 stars all round.

Apart from the fact that I had booked (on line) for 6pm, it said 5:30 on the confirmation note, but that was corrected without probs in situ. Experience superior! Food delicious and served quickly by v friendly staff. I had three friends as my guests, they all want to know, if there is a Côte in their neck of the woods (Devon and Cambs). Good enough of a recommendation, I'd say!

This is one of the most popular cote branches dealing with quick turnaround pre and post theatre guests. As such the service,although very professional and friendly can be a bit slow and not all dishes may turn up at once. That said it's averaged priced no frills good quality grub with a monthly seasonal specials menu.

Food and service really good. Accommodating after requesting a move from where the booked reservation had placed us to sit where no natural light came to table.

The service was slow and extremely unprofessional. We waited almost 40 mins for our starters and had to ask three times for someone to look into it. The wait between courses was also very long and when we wanted to pay we were made to wait again. I understand they were busy upon arrival; however the restaurant was empty when we left and we were never told when seated to expect a wait on service. We spent the entire experience feeling unwanted and invisible.

Excellent prompt friendly service and nice food. What's not to like? It also fortifies one for the culture to come! Very reasonably priced too if using the pre theatre deal.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great choice and prices are reasonable. The staff were really attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed it so much we went for breakfast next morning!
