We went to the Cote in Tavistock Street for breakfast as we had a meeting later that morning. I can only say how good the Cote Breakfast is. All the ingredients are of the best quality much as you would expect from Cote, the service exemplary, and excellent value as always. If you find yourself in London, or come to that anywhere near a branch of Cote, and need breakfast to set you up for the rest of the day I can highly recommend a visit to your local Cote.

Booked a table for 5pm before attending a 7.30 concert. The restaurant filled up considerably while we were there but the service we received was excellent and the menu, plus a very enjoyable bottle of the house white, suited us perfectly. Would certainly come again!

We were greeted well by smiling people and we were entering an American couple who are long standing friends who also thought the service, quality of food, selection and value for money was quite outstanding. We are frequent users of Cote, more particularly in Sloane Square but quite often at Tavistock Street... Long my the quality and service continue.

Out of all the Côte restaurants I've been to, this is by far the BEST. Staff are always very warm and welcoming and I always get recognition from regular on duty staff. That is what makes me come back time and time again. Some staff know what I drink without having to ask. That is something you don't get everywhere, especially how busy they can be at times. Food was amazing as always, however did not give 6 point rating from me, because tables were too close for comfort. I sat close so to the table next to me, I was basically in the lady's face because my chair was adjacent in the middle of their table. Guests arriving later also declined to sit so close. Maybe something that should be looked at. Other than that, EXCELLENT!!

Whilst we enjoyed our meals, the steak and both half chickens were somewhat overlooked and not as juicy as they should have been. The service was acceptable and the location good for a quick pre-theatre meal.

The usual excellent value Cote menu for a pre-theatre dinner. The steak and frites are consistently good and we also indulged in a heavenly chocolate pot for dessert. Can't beat it for the price in Central London.

One meal didn't arrive with the rest and had clearly been forgotten even though the order had supposedly been written down. I was told it was coming as it wouldn't fit on the tray with the rest and then nothing happened until I asked where it was sine minutes later. We then had to wait for this meal to be cooked. This was very embarrassing as I had booked the table for a lunch with some old friends.

I have eaten at Côte, Tavistock Street, on many occasions. It is a popular restaurant and is, invariably, very busy. I am always amazed at the way in which, despite being completely full, they manage to maintain such high standards of food and service.

A very decent lunch . Chicken and mushroom risotto was a little lacking in colour being uniformly mushroom shaded but was really tasty nonetheless. Addition of some freshly chopped parsley or tomato would have made a much more exciting dish. Waitress was really pleasant.

Very convenient location for pre theatre dining and therefore massively crowded. Wide menu plus a few monthly specials and pre-theatre menu but not very imaginative or exciting. On this occasion service was slow and we had to ask for our main courses which meant we were rushed as one of us wanted a pud

Staff were very friendly and efficient- perhaps a little too efficient at times as you felt like you were being rushed through your courses. Calamari was cooked to perfection... Shame we couldn't say the same abot the Chicken Breast... It was extremely dry and difficult to swallow. The mustard sauce that accompanied was more of a cream sauce and was quite unsatifcatory. Luckily the desert made up for it! Great location for pre theatre dining.

The service was poor as the order was forgotten and a starter didn't arrive. The nicoise salad was supposed to include potatoes but it came with one tiny potato cut into a few pieces. However the staff acknowledged these problems and gave us money off the bill. The food itself was good.

We arrived very early for our booked Early Bird dinner. A table for two was immediately found. When thick proved to be next to a large, lively group, whose shouted conversation stopped us from being able to talk ourselves, we were swiftly moved to quieter area. The delicious meal followed swiftly, served by smiling staff. A delightful start to our evening. Thank you!

It was a lovely breakfast as always. The café is tucked away in the back street so most people couldn't find it but this is why you get more privacy, highly recommend if you want to have a nice and relaxing breakfast.
