The food was lovely and service was good. Served reasonably quickly and food didn't take long even though they were full. Bit of confusion as the reservation hadn't go get through to say that I had free bottle of wine with loyalty card. I showed them the email and they gave me the wine just asking me to rebook for that night so their system was correct

All the staff were very helpful and efficient, and the food was extremely quick but of a good standard as always. Only complaint the party had was one person ordered a beer and it was very expensive for the size.

We ordered bread and olives to start,followed by steak and fries.with a side order of french beans. The bread arrived a delay on the olives only to be told that our mains were ready so did we still want the olives we decided no.Steak arrived without the beans and had to wait some time before they came. The worst service we have had in a Cote Bistro.

Excellent place for Sunday lunch. The food was very good; staff friendly and welcoming. There is plenty of space inside and outside, so no problem with finding a nice table. I will certainly be back soon.

I'm a real fan of Cote restaurants and have been to this particular one [Kensington] a few times. Nice warm welcome, comfortable atmosphere, good value menu [set].

Pleasant enough if slightly on the noisy side. Food was average. My husband asked for a medium fillet steak and was presented with a rare one. Soup for starters could have been hotter. Service could have been bettet. Staff were reasonably pleasant but overall indifferent. Seating was inadequate. You would not go to this branch of Cote for a romantic dinner as the tables for two people are squashed very close together along one side of the restaurant making privacy difficult to achieve and even trying to pull your chair out was not an easy feat.

Visited on a Sunday lunchtime. The food was ok but not stunning. The service was good at a busy time of day. I would revisit, this one and other Cotes.

Our local Cote Brasserie is in Oxford where we have enjoyed several excellent meals so it was an obvious choice to visit Cote Bistro Kensington.

My Chicken Liver Pate was not quite as good as others I have had but the Steak Tartare and my wife's Calamari and her Crab Salad were at their usual excellent standard as was the service and the reward bottle of red wine. David Martineau

the service was good and the food was very nice. Nothing exceptional, but good value and an ideal pre-theatre meal. We will return again and I have no problem recommending Cote as a reasonable and quality choice.

This was my first visit to this branch of Côte. Their food is consistently good and very good value for money, although I do not think that all branches are created equal. I very much enjoyed my visit to this particular Côte and I would come back again. They were very busy but they did not rush us and the service was very friendly. I do notice this now in this age of two-hour-sittings-to-turn-the-table-around.

A brief visit, as we had to go to the theatre, but the waiters were friendly and took our orders with good humour. The food arrived promptly and was very tasty. Never seem to be disappointed with Cote. Reliable chain.

Great value French-style cuisine, properly served by cheerful polite staff. Attractive restaurant just off the High Street in Kensington, and surely the best value in the area.

We were up to London to see the Gypsy Kings at the Royal Albert Hall. Parked dead opposite in the London Royal Garden Hotel (NCP) so conveniently placed. There were four of us - and we had a cracking meal - starters of fougasse and olives, mains of beef bourgignon and a very nicely prepared duck dish. Two bottles of very drinkable Merlot, an excellent waiter who was most attentive and also amusing - result, 90 minutes of convivial relaxation in a very pleasant restaurant and a service charge which we are assured goes to the staff and as a result were more than happy to pay it. If we go up again (we're from the wilds of West Berkshire!) we'll definitely be back.

Very extensive menu. Good food and well cooked. Helpful and friendly staff who moved us to another table away from a speaker. (One of our table is noise sensitive). The staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. Thank you.

Six of us had a lovely meal one saturday lunchtime. We were warmly welcomed and never rushed. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of menu choice, we chose different meals and all equally enjoyed them. Starters ranged from fish soup to pate, steak tartare or goats cheese followed by nicely cooked fish stew, steaks or duck. We had a most enjoyable time and would certainly return.

Very convenient for The Royal Albert Hall. Set menu is good value with a good choice. The service was excellent. The menu does not display cost of wine by the glass so it would have been helpful if the waiter had pointed out that for three large glasses, it would have been cheaper to buy a bottle,
