Nice food, but restaurant seemed under staffed considering how busy it was. We were served by several different staff members, some friendly and efficient, some obviously feeling the strain a bit. I think management need to employ a few more waiting staff particularly near Christmas, one poor girl looked exhausted!

Good valve food and friendly and efficient service. This branch of Cote is well situated for Covent Garden and Theatre land. The Christmas menu should suit people of all tastes.

As usual manager and staff very friendly. Food very disappointing. Crab starter was good. Main course chicken overcooked with a pitiful soggy piece of garnish on the side and food overall not very hot. No wonder as they have to bring everything up a number of flights of stairs to the table!

The restaurant was very busy but service was prompt. We both had Breton chicken which is always a tasty option. We found police stones which weren't ours in 5he bread. The waiter apologised and took the cost of the bread off the bill.

An enjoyable meal and relaxing atmosphere. Good choice of dishes, which makes Cote an appealing place to eat, particularly as the good standard of food & drink seems to be consistent.

Absolutely love Côtes! I received the wrong main meal, but that was swiftly made up for by offering a free dessert. Great service and house white wine crisp and fresh

Good selection and choice of food, so an enjoyable meal. Unfortunately once again, service was good to start with, but slow removing plates after main course and ordering desserts. Their 6.30 to 7.30 pm period needs more waiting staff.

Food good, service excellent. We were seated close to the front window which was a bit chilly. Just as well for the hot soup!! So if a bit cold and frosty somewhere else, don't sit by the window

Our starters came quite quickly but we then had to wait over 3/4 hour before we then got or mains we then had to take our bill to the till ourselves with many others trying to pay before going to the theatre because the service was so slow this made us anxious as we were going to a show.

On this occasion, Saturday lunchtime, the restaurant was buzzing but the service was at its normal level. The staff are almost without fail very friendly. The food was as expected. The only criticism is the large number of different menus available at the time and so possibly too many choices. Better than too few!

It was ok, had to ask for candles/tealights because it was too dark to read the menu. Great starters. Two of us had sirloin steaks that were quite gristley and not very tasty at all. Service was good and attentive as usual.

Sadly I didn’t think the meal was up to cotes normal standard . We did speak to our server at the time . This could be due to the restaurant being busy

Offer of free champagne with Xmas menu only for 4 people and not 2 as advertised. Only after second / insisting mentioning to manager and showing evidence of advert (not mentioning this) did we get the champagne after all. So ok in the end! Meal and service otherwise excellent!

Excellent service but asked for tuna to be medium and it came rare, asked for no potatoes and they still came with the main course. However, manager was very helpful and I didn't pay for the tuna nicoise, so it will not stop me going again.

The Hamburger and chips served only weekends is superb and huge! My friend had cod coujon' which she devoured. Service was attentive and the place was full and buzzy, typical for Saturday lunch. Calamari were overcooked instead of a golden light coating. Nonetheless a great start to the weekend activities.

We had a meal booked for Brighton Cotes and the service I am pleased to say for far better than a precvious visis. Staff were attentive and food was excellent. We did order some olives that never came to our table, but on the whole a far better experience than our previous visit a few months ago, and based on last nights visit, we would recommend the restaurant to others, thank you, Maria Mayhew

Had to sit upstairs as downstairs was full one table available upstairs so rather than Waite we took it. We would not go at a weekend again, unless they can guarantee a table downstairs. Food good as always service very good even on a very busy night.

Do not like 12 per cent gratuities on the bill. I like to tip what l think the service is worth as there was three of us l thought nearly 17 pounds a lot.

Waiter/waitresses lack of attention as they were distracted by a particular customer and only half cleared our table before pouncing on we presume a famous person ....... lack of flexibility with menu due to not being able to physically eat a pudding but being charged for the Xmas menu !!!!!
