Côte Charlotte Street

I was welcomed by the wonderful Portuguese maitre d' with my favourite complimentary drink, Kier Royal. The menu had plenty of choice and I really like eating on my own in this place.

My friend and I had the usual Kier royal to start with plus a wonderful french red house wine bottle with our prix fixe.

I love this place. They welcome me like an old friend with a glass of Kier Royal and the waiting staff are so professional yet do have time to chat.

As always this is such a wonderful place. This was one of the last meals we had before the big Covid Lockdown. Waiting staff are always at hand, serve you with a smile and chat to you when you are dining alone. It was therefore much to my surprise and huge disappointment when I tried to book again for spring 2021 that Cote charlotte street had closed for ever and is now a pancake shop. Where have the lovely staff all gone?

The food was superb as always, but best of all is the service as this particular Cote. Thank you to the team.

I often eat on my own at this restaurant and the waiting staff make a special effort to make me feel welcome and take time to chat. Thank you

brilliant as usual with the set meal being such good value and even a naughty Kier Royal at lunchtime. The staff are constantly and consistently charming, speedy and maintain a professional attitude at all times.

I took my friend to my favourite Cote restaurant; I couldn't believe she had not been at a single Cote?? This has to change. Staff, food and atmosphere superb as always.

Great place to meet friends for an after work meal and glass of wine!

Had a great time! Food and service were fantastic and great location too

Enjoyed a family meal here, service was impressive and nothing was too much trouble!

Lovely food and wide menu choices. Regularly visit here and would continue to do so. Good selection of wines too. Ideal for a mid-week dinner catching up with friends or family.

Great service and even better food. Can't wait to come back and try different dishes and desserts!

Out food was lovely as always is at Le Cote whichever one we have been to however the waitress was rushed ( maybe not her fault ) or poorly trained . She placed our ice bucket to the right of my partner , attended to us ok but never poored the wine 🍷or offered to and she didn’t smile at all it was like she was not at all happy I’m her job , I know waitressing is tough I’ve done it for years but she put down our desert well just the one as they had run out of creme caramel and she almost threw it down , not the service you’d expect and such a shame as the meal was lovely 😊 Come on you can train your floor staff better than that ! For that reason I refused to pay the £12 gratuity charge on my bill leaving change only on the plate and a note for management . This was a birthday meal to celebrate my birthday the following day as don’t like dining out on Valentine’s Day . And unlike other restaurants I’ve dined at they didn’t make provision for that only acknowledging our window request on arrival . You can do better , improve your service to match the food .

Food good. Service not great! Food doesnt arrive on time , orders are mixed up and generally chaos! Staff are amateur and indifferent. Conveniemt location.but a lot needs improving.

Great food and service. Two ladies lunching, 2 courses, wine. All great!

The maitre'd was unfriendly, but our waitress was lovely. I had tiger prawns as a starter from the specials menu; a little underwhelming and I thought under-seasoned at first, but once I started eating the salad with the prawns I actually grew to like it. The chilli was nicely done, not too fierce. For my main course I had monkfish; sadly more a texture than a taste, the fish was overpowered by the bacon in which it was wrapped, in combination with the tomato sauce. And one could only tell there were mushrooms in the sauce by looking at it, not by the taste. So a bit disappointing. I had the creme caramel dessert, again lovely! My friend had the smoked salmon for starter; he liked the warm sourdough. He had lamb rump with roast veggies from the al la carte menu for main; he asked for medium/well done, not pink, but it came pink, but he ate it anyway! The celeriac was a bit hard, and could have done with an extra 10 mins roasting. For desert he had the crepe with orange liqueur, and pronounced it satisfyingly boozy. Overall OK, mostly thanks to the waitress's charm, and the free bottle of wine we had from a promotion, but not the most amazing meal.

Love this restaurant and good service on the whole but we had to wait a long time for our mains to arrive which is not ideal when grabbing a bite during work lunchtime.

The food was delicious and great value. We were well looked after and look forward to the next visit already. I particularly recommend the creme caramel.

Great food and service. Will come back - the ultimate compliment

Broad ranging menu selection, including well priced pre-theatre (before 7pm) options, nice ambience, sophisticated interior and not to be under-estimated, good acoustics. Great place for a quality after work meal, where intimacy and involved conversation is possible at a decent price. Not always easy to find in central London!

Always a good meal and atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive!

Really great place to eat and drink, catching up with friends, pleasant atmosphere, varied menu and not to pricey. Service was excellent, will be back.

Overall, very good service with food coming within 15 mins and still maintaining its perfection. Service took longer towards the later of the evening but is expected as it was a busy night. All in all, yet another amazing evening.

The food wasn’t great. We all had issues with something. Just a disappointing experience. Won’t be returning to Charlotte Street. Soho and market place are much better.

Service was excellent and the ambience was first class. The food was superb as always ... Both salad were fresh and delicious and my guest and I were very satisfied

The food was excellent! and In a fair price also the service was great that made our dinner one of the best in london, thank you.

service was not great could not mix from set menu no aperol overpriced food

Very nice interior and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The set menus are great value for money and the drinks are also reasonably priced, especially the champagne!

Good food, excellent service, nice setting, vale for money - very happy woth our experience. Thank you Cote and staff

It was my birthday and I brought few of my friends. We had delicious food, excellent service and it was a very pleasant place to eat in. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and will come back soon. It was a lovely experience.

Fab restaurant... good food, good service at great prices. 👍🏼 Evening meal out with two girlfriends who were of the same opinion. Will definitely be visiting again next time in the area. 😁

Service food and ambience were all we expected Only one niggle, they were unwilling to honour a free cocktail offer because we had booked before it was published Have a mean and bureaucratic feel to an otherwise good evening.

Great food and service. Love the atmosphere here and will definitely come again. Great for a group for breakfast and I will recommend to anyone. Thankyou

Wherever you go for a meal in a Cote you can be sure that the food will be good. Service however can be variable and on 3 out of 4 visits to Charlotte Street have not been up to the mark. Our last visit on Tuesday was another case in point. I noticed that my fish stew had no prawns and when I questioned the waiter he told me that’s how it should be. I knew this wasn’t right and almost immediately someone else came to apologise. I don’t mind the kitchen making mistakes but the waiting staff need to get things right. Add to this, not refilling water when asked, not clearing the table properly and delays in bringing desert make for a disappointing occasion.

24 people assembled in the room upstairs. Preordering had occurred and the staff served us all extremely well and with accuracy. The billing process was also extremely well done. The food as usual was very good.

Great location, friendly and efficient staff and the food was excellent. Had a brilliant evening with good friends in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Good taste, reasonable price, and friendly but polite service. I will visit here definitely.

We’re always happy dining at Cote Brasserie’s restaurants and have tried many of the locations in London. Always good service, tasty food and value for money set menus. The only negative on our latest visit to Charlotte Street was the constant harassment from a rather large number of small flies around our table. Our table was against a wall at the back of the restaurant and we could count around 10 flies perched on the wall as well as those flying around our heads. I think the problem arises from the front door of the restaurant being permanently open given that it was a lovely warm day outside. We eventually moved tables to one nearer the door and this reduced the number of flies although a few still pestered us. Incidentally, the open door also resulted in cigarette smoke from the diners outside the restaurant drifting inside which is horrible for non-smokers but often happens in restaurants these days. I think both of the above problems could be rectified by not having the front door permanently open which I assume is done to encourage diners off the street and to make it easier to serve food to the outside tables.

Really good food at sensible prices. Very helpful and attentive staff. We come here again and again because it's always consistently good. I would recommend it as a good place to come to have a celebratory meal or just a night out with a partner.
