This was an excellent pre-concert dinner. The fish stew was good, if a bit salty and my partner's pork belly was excellent. The house rose went down nicely. Prices are now quite high. Service was perfect.

slow service, 20-25 minutes for table water to appear, never mind getting our drinks or placing our food order. The food: Cote are changing recipes and not for the better, why? Calamari used to come with nice classic tartare sauce, now it comes with poshed up 1000 Islands, not an improvement according to the 2 who ate it. Breton fish stew, ordered by 2 of us, this has been changed to a tomatey & somewhat spicey dish, definitely nothing to do with Breton any more, could be Italian? one of them said never again, the other said didn't mind but probably wouldn't order again. I had duck, haven't ordered before, was relatively tasteless and with dull vegetables. It's a pity....

the food here gets poorer and the portions smaller every time I visit. The goats cheese and leek tartlet needs renaming as a leek tartlet with tiny specks of goat cheese. After very many years I think I must give up as taking someone to lunch here is embarrassing.

Lorry with food delayed so no food in restaurant for over an hour Decided to stay and eventually persuaded manager to give us a complimentary bottle of wine Probably should have got more from the restaurant! Felt strange knowing that all their food came pre packaged from a central depot!

my monkfish came without the usual generous helping of mussels, apparently restaurant had no mussels, was not told this at time of ordering, so paid full price of just under £22 for 2 pieces of fish in a sauce (one of which was very tough, either under or over cooked, anyway not nice); service was fine, and my friends enjoyed the fish pie

We are regulars at other Côte restaurants. First time at this Côte following a visit to the Royal Albert Hall. Excellent food, service and ambiance . Extremely accommodating and pleasant staff who sat us a a table in a cosy area towards the back of the restaurant. A really nice server. We could not have asked for a better all round experience. We would both highly recommend this restaurant and we will certainly be back.

this branch of Cote has moved up a gear, really good service, a revamped wine list (we had the Fleurie which was lovely), and while the food was not amazing, the smiling service made up for it

This was a get together of family prior to concert at RAH. Good table, excellent service, nothing too much trouble. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed food from a very varied menu. Can’t wait to go again.

Sadly not one of the better Cote chain restaurants. Service initially was exceptionally slow, quality of food taking into account the Prix Fixe was only average which is not normally the case. A shame as all the others we have visited since re-opening have been exceptional.

what a difference a change of chef makes! the 3 of us ate the same as on our previous visit some weeks ago; it was so poor that we vowed never to go there again! but we thought we'd give it one final try: yesterday the food was tasty, well prepared and presented, we were all happy with our mains. we had desserts too, which were a bit of a disappointment, probably give that a miss another time

The service and food were both excellent. It was Friday lunchtime so the restaurant was very busy and therefore rather noisy!

we 3 regularly eat at this Cote; but not any more! one friend tried the new paillard salad, left the chicken as so tough, salad itself was good; another had the fish parmentier, very hot in the middle and cold elsewhere; I tried the new monkfish dish, tasted only of the creamy mushroom sauce, plus fish was not moist enough, mussels also tasteless. And poor service, 15 minutes at least to place our order, another 40 minutes before any food appeared, not easy to get bill either
