Great service, lovely food - we were late for our booking due to being delayed but the restaurant accommodated us without any problem. Had a lovely evening and will definitely return if going to the Barbican again.

It was great to return to Cote at the Barbican and sit in the window enjoying the perfect lunch of steak frites... just like pre-pandemic! Excellent service and food, thank you. Go and enjoy...

We felt we were very close to other diners. Unnecessarily so as one end of the restaurant was completely empty. Staff were as helpful as ever.

Over an hours wait for our food - apparently a problem in the kitchen but no extra drink or similar by way of an apology. The pudding my husband chose was unavailable. Our first time back since lockdown and overall a disappointing e perience.

So glad that Barbican Cote is back in business, very well organised for Covid anxieties. Long may it last ... Lovely Eggs benedict, Croque Madame etc for family brunch again. Excellent steak/frites and creme caramel for lunch three days ago, two days after opening. Promise to eat here as much as I can for as long as I can.

We have eaten at Côte Barbican many times but today the service was very poor. Our waitress had to be asked twice for a gluten-free menu, bread & cutlery. It could barely be described as service I’m sorry to say. We did however, enjoy our food.

Lovely food and friendly waiting staff. Service a little slow for the main course, which led to a little anxiety as we were attending a concert and no time for dessert!

Not the best experience of Côte, very loud almost overwhelming noise levels. Poor food quality and just a small effort would have put it right but instead I was left waiting and waiting for a sauce that never arrived yet you were happy to charge me for it.

Ore-theatre menu was excellent value for money. Very good customer experience. Lovely ambience. Pleasant and friendly greeters and waiters. Spacious environment, all on the same level, including the loos (no cheeky steps in the restaurant area or flights of stairs down to the basement!).
