Great as always ! nice relaxed afternoon with friendly service from the staff . Food was excellent as always , the treats were well received ,Thank Cote see u soon
was a great diner. staffs was attentive . the food was very good and equal at what you expecting from Cote brasseriete Charlotte street cote has a parisien feeling and will recommend to my friends
Lovely menu of great tasting food at very reasonable prices. Bottles of wine are also well priced. Great atmosphere and service. Our second night there this week!
The restaurant atmosphere is nice, but the portions are really small for the price paid. The food was good, apart from the watercress, that looked just taken out of the ground.
Food was cold. Service was slow. Very disappointing, always had good service before but they seemed very busy this evening but that should not be an excuse.
A very enjoyable evening. Good food and service, would definitely recommend it to friends, as good quality food which was well worth the money. I will be back.
The one draw back with the Cote Brasserie in Charlotte Street is that there is no downstairs toilet!! As for the atmosphere : that is pleasant, the menu and the food are excellent as it is in the cote Brasseries I have visited. The service was variable.
Waited well over an hour for our mains, with no explanation. After I finally asked, there was much scurrying among the staff. Finally, someone said "2 more minutes." It was about 10 more. When I asked what the hold-up was, I was told it was "a mixup in the kitchen." They did comp drinks (one glass of wine, a soda, and juice), but my risotto was under-cooked, the two orders of steak frites, over-cooked. Very disappointing...
Very poor service at this Cote. Very slow - we waited a long time to be served. Finished plates sat on the table for about 15 minutes - had to ask for them to be cleared. At one point, the manager served the table in front, then looked at our table (with finished plates) - didn't come over to clear or ask if we wanted dessert but left. Appalling service. No one asked if we wanted dessert at all. They eventually cleared 2 plates and left the other one. Asked for the bill and waited 10 minutes for them to come over with a card machine. In the end had to get up and hand them cash to ensure we got to our show in time. We left 1 1/2 hours thinking we would have time for 3 courses (in other Cote restaurants this is plenty of time) - but we just managed 2 courses and had to rush to our show as a result! This was not due to the food (which was lovely - all credit to the chef) but due to the incompetent service and poor management. Do not go if you expect efficient service or have anywhere to be after! Very disappointed.
Lovely restaurant. Staff very helpful and approachable. We had pre theatre set menu. (Great value) Asparagus starter a bit woody at the ends, but generous servings, lovely puds!
Warm welcome, with efficient staff who ensured we were promptly served. Food was reasonably priced, but menu does not change a lot - been to one Cote - been to them all, but always reliable - you know what you are going to get!
Food was great but we were pushed for time. So we warned the waiter and what should have been plenty became a last minute bad tempered dash mostly because the waiter's English was not good and he couldn't understand how we needed to have the bill divvied up. Twice! We arrived for our 1930 perforamce at 1932. Just got in. But severely flustered and overheated.
As always at Cote Brasserie in Charlotte Street, we enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the pleasant service and the range of choice on the menu. Having selected diffferent meals the three of us voted each delicious.
As usual good value food - but sadly service was slower than usual. We had the right table but waited for an hour before the main course arrived. If it had taken much longer we would have left. When the food eventually arrived it was delicious,

Excellent venue and one of my favourite restaurants. Well looked after; great food and good to be tucked away in a secret area. Will definitely return.
The restaurant was very good over all, but one plate of the lamb that was served was almost inedible, because the fatty ends had been plated onto a single plate. The other orders of lamb were perfect so that this was unfortunate, but it should not happen in a Côte Restaurant.
Great food (apart from an overdone starter), but only negative was the 30 minute wait before our starter arrived, which for a pre-theatre meal meant we felt rushed for the remaining courses.
Fabulous value in their pre-theatre menu - excellent price and food was delicious (plus great choice) It's also good to find a place where you can get a nice glass of wine for under £5 (with some excellent options a little above that). Nice ambiance, excellent service. We were very happy. First time at the Charlotte St venue but we have often enjoyed other Cotes as well.
The choice of starters and main dishes on the set menus were very good the food was even better. I didn't think I could manage a sweet but I tried the creme caramel It was fantastic Looking forward to the next visit.
Went for pre theatre menu which is usually excellent. This time the steak was over cooked. And waiter didn't ask if we were enjoying meal at any point so my companion left hers. It was knocked off bill though.
Good value, quality is consistently good. Service is average - attentiveness to detail could be improved (e.g. Don't pack people into tables so close to each other when there are so many open tables to select, refill water glasses without being asked, be quicker with the bill, offer a loyalty programme...).
Meal was Ok and staff pleasant. However the asparagus was poorly prepared and my lunch guest sent hers back. Watercress on salad also slightly yellowish. So OK but I don't think I'd be inclined to return given the number of other choices around. Also no downstairs WC so tricky if you've mobility issues
The menu had a good variety and a good price for lunch menus. The quality of the food was good and value for money, and not expensive but service was very slow
Good service and rather pleasant food. The wine was great too. A nice evening. I would recommend this restaurant. And of course the location is great.
Delicious food for good value! Really enjoyed my pre-theatre menu outside the restaurant, the food was incredible! Definitely worth the price! Will definitely come back.
Good scrambled eggs! Felt like we were forgotten about slightly. We were sitting at the back and I had to keep finding the waitress myself to be served.
We were very disappointed last night at Cote in Charlotte Street. We were booked at 6.00 and there was only one fishcakes left on the menu. Obviously not enough staff as we had a long wait
Very disappointed with poor service, far below normal Cote standards. Soup was cold, staff were distracted and manager really wasn't gripping the situation. Daughter most disappointed as it was my birthday treat. We'll be off to St Christopher's Place next time we have a special occasion.
Steak and Duck were both cold, as well as the waitress removing plates whilst one of my clients was still eating. Overall the food was good, but did not make up for the poor service and cold mains.
We arrived at half five and our friends arrived five minutes later. We told the waitress we needed to be out of there by 7pm at the very latest. The waitress was very slow serving both our drinks and the first course. She was even slower with our main course. Three of us had the risotto. This was awful - extremely soggy. We chivvied, and chivvied the whole evening. Our main course eventually came just after 7 p.m. By the time we had eaten it and paid the bill it was past 7.20 p.m. We didn't have time for the dessert which was part of the menu! The manager was apologetic but quite honestly that is not good enough - we had had bad service and an awful main course.
Very pleasant afternoon and food was on point. Waiter was very entertaining and all in all a very good experience. Would certainly recommend for business and pleasure.
Nice food and good service, staff as ever very friendly. Would recommend it. Good position, easy to find. Lovely menu this month loved the asparagus.
Lovely meal and service, very happy evening at Cote on Charlotte Street. Been to many Cote restaurants over the years and the food is always very good.
Service was friendly but a little slow,so we had to forgo desserts in order to get to the theatre in time.Food was very good & also looked very appealing.Seafood linguine was amazing.
The person in charge wasn't very welcoming. The service was slow. The calamari starter arrived long after the other starters and my steak frites was over cooked, not pink at all and was as tough as old boots.
Service was not fast, otherwise it was good. Rather generous portions compared to cote I LeamingtonSpa. Some waiters could do more with a customer service training
Kept waiting for 10 minutes for a booked table but food, wine and service were all good. Will be going again very soon, one of my favourite places in a great location.
Good attentive service. Table was ready. My steak was a bit tough. But everything else good. I was given a chocolate cake for my birthday.
Lovely food at a reasonable price. Good service and nice ambience in a convenient location. Will definitely visit again. Good menu and very reliable. Goods cost/quality ratio.
Very good service. Not hurried can sit there for hours chatting with your friends. Food as always well presented and cooked. Prices really reasonable especially the two or three special courses at lunchtime or the pre-theatre menu.
Steaks were all good and cooked well, creamed spinach was tasty and desserts were great. It was unfortunate that several items were off the menu and the restaurant space was uncomfortably hot, as otherwise a good meal with good service.
They tried putting us upstairs where no other diners were, even though there were loads of empty tables in the main dining area downstairs and as for the meal, It was poor and in general the whole experience was underwhelming to say the least. I think we'll be giving Cote restaurants a miss for the foreseeable future
Wonderful experience as always when I dine at Cote Restaurants. They all have the same high standards and the food is always delicious and the service is excellent
Great côte de beuf offer - can highly recommend this dish which goes at a very fair price. Staff was also nice and location great
Excellent service. Very attentive. The food was good and well presented. One of the few restaurant where you are not to feel guilty when asking for tap water !!!! Certainly worth another visit.
The good is always Good and a varied menu. a good location and easy to find. loved the fish choice went down well with chilled white wine that evening.
Great food and fantastic value. Service was very slow for main course, especially as it's a pre-theatre menu and we were going to the theatre!
Very disappointing. Waiter got the order wrong. Abysmally slow service. Waited for ages for main course meals & when they arrived they were cold. Despite telling them repeatedly that we were going to a 7.30pm show, the order was taken at 6.15pm. Mains arrived at 7.15pm - cold - we couldn't finish our meal & arrived very stressed at the Dominion just as the curtains were going up, feeling very stressed & frustrated. It was meant to be part of a lovely evening. In fact, it semi ruined the evening. Venue is nice and food is good value - if served at the right temperature!
Pre theatre meal - excellent food, friendly service in spite of the restaurant being very busy, early evening menu outstanding value for money in London, highly recommended.
We have been to this restaurant a few times now and are always happy with the food and the service we will come back again .
