Great food and brilliant service. But it was so hot in the restaurant. Really uncomfortable. My two companions and I were glistening with sweat...so unpleasant. Also where we were sitting was too noisy, making it hard to hear what each other was saying. They really need to do something about the way nouse carries in the restaurant and turn down the heat (or have air conditioning)). Such a pity as the food was so delicious and the waiters so pleasant and friendly.

Always a wonderful meal at Cote - superb food and lovely ambience. Also good selection of gluten free and vegetarian meals. Portions for the 2/3 course lunch or early dinner menu are not huge, but still extremely reasonable given the quality and price.

Food good, reasonably priced, but service charge high and cheeky. Service was not that good, rather slow actually. Also, dessert was not cook to order, crumble takes at least 15 mins to cook!

The serving person after the waiter had taken the order was pleasant but didn't know what he was serving to us on a plate. We had 2x duck liver pate he told is it was salmon. We booked a table for 6.30. we had an 11 year old. He only had a main. We finished our food but it took over 40minutes to go through the payment process didn't leave till after 8pm. By which time my son had got a headache and needed to go straight to bed due to waiting so long.

The food as always was very good, but despite reserving a table for 5, it wasn't setup. There was also an old napkin on the floor and some dropped food (presumably from the previous customer). The service was slow and the waiters were not very attentive. It's only a small thing but, we ordered 5 Kia Royales and every one was a different colour and size! Lack of attention to detail. The table was also wobbly which made it difficult to balance the tall classes on the table without them tipping over. A waiter eventually tried to stabilise the table, which helped a bit. We still enjoyed the meal, but it's the little things that can spoil a good night out.

We were given a table near the door which was too draughty, they moved us without fuss. Suggest they find a better way of keeping the door open than wine buckets. Great restaurant!

Service was quite slow. Staff very nice. It was very busy. I had a fillet steak but it was clearly a sirloin with majority of the fat cut off. Wanted it rare but it was more like medium rare. Tasted ok but was not as tender if it had been a fillet. Quite disappointed to be honest.

Pre theatre food - food was fine but we had to wait an age for it and didn't have time to eat it when it arrived. The manager apologised and deducted the cost of our starters from the menu. It's annoys me when restaurants continue to accept bookings and seat people when the kitchen is unable to deal with the volume of customers in a timely manner.

Good service & atmosphere, and very nice food. Some of our plates were cold, so the food went cold very quickly, but overall it's a great place to eat out.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. We will certainly will visit again. The only prblem we had, was that sitting by the window in the smaller of the two rooms,we were aware that smoke from two smokers sitting outside was pervading into the area where we were sitting. However,there was no problem about changing our table.

Pre theatre meal so naturally it can be a bit rushed. Food and service fine but did have to remind them several times that we were on a time limit. Given the restaurant is very close to 2 theatres I would have hoped they were a little more on top of this. Our table was upstairs so better from a noise point of view as downstairs was packed.

Excellent service, with impeccable staff, who exemplify good knowledge of the menu and great customer service. Coupled with consistently good food and a decent wine menu it is perfect for both a business lunch or a more personal get together.

The restaurant has a very pleasant, amenable atmosphere on entering, which is further enhanced by the friendly welcome given by the staff. Having pre booked ( a necessity due to its popularity) one is quickly shown to a table and quickly asked if drinks are required as one considers the extensive and varied menu . One can recommend the delicious walnut and chicken salad but no matter what one chooses, one will not be disappointed . starters , Main courses and puddings are all reasonably priced and all delicious. The resulting bill is always reasonable considering the exquisite tastings one has just experienced . All in all, well recommended !!

I usually love the food at Cote but today I left quite a lot. I am vegetarian and usually the food is lovely but the couscous dish didn't work and the pissaladiere starter wasn't quite right either. We had the Kir Royale offer but it was room temperature. I had invited two friends who had the sea bass - they didn't comment but they were initially given the wrong starters so I was well into mine before the right ones arrived. All in all nowhere near up to the usual Cote standard.

Loved it (although the service can be very slow). The table we had was quite small and was difficult to fit all our plates on. None of the staff thought to remove surplus glasses. Foos is great!

The staff are superb. Even though it is always busy and you may need to wait at the door ... you are always acknowledged while you wait. Phone calls are answered promptly and booking staff are friendly and accommodating on the phone. We keep going back again and again because every experience surpasses expectations. The last visit was a lunchtime outside in glorious sunshine which was a real bonus. Oh ... and the food and wine are divine!
