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.

Food very good and service pleasant although we got a bit forgotten when we were the only table left away from the main part of the restaurant!

Excellent ambience, great food and service conveniently at the centre of the West End. If going to Paris for lunch is too time consuming then this is the next best thing!

At 5.30 on a Saturday night they had already run out of the escalope. This did not seem right. Apart from that we had a good time with very pleasant waiting staff. They were great

the front of the restaunt is nice. However, we were led to our table that is essentially a narrow dark corridor. There were tables at the front that were empty, but they didn't want us to sit there. We'd booked on the loyalty offer otherwise probably would have gone elsewhere. However, the food was good. Service - a bit forgotten about being around the back. Noticed one of the other tables actually got up to find a waiter for the bill.

Pleasant restaurant. Pre theatre service could have been a little more attentive to the time constraints of diners. That way the experience could have been more relaxed.

I always enjoy the Cotes menu & food. Today they obligingly gave me my tuna nicoise minus raw onions as requested. Only downside was that service was slightly slow but they had warned us that the restaurant was extremely busy when we arrived.

Same consistent standard as other Cotes I have visited in London and Birmingham. Excellent value 2 course prix fixe lunch. As I'd booked, we had a pleasant table near the windows. Attentive and courteous service.

Food was excellent and the service very good. Our waiter made a point of asking if we were going to the theatre and made sure our order was taken promptly and the food arrived very quickly. Only down side of this particular Cote is that it is a series of small rooms. Our table for 6 was at the end of a narrow room and this was a little squashed for us. It also made the waiters task of serving and clearing very difficult for him. Hovever this didn't spoil our overall enjoyment.

went to this restaurant to celebrate with our friends from Germany , my starter of chicken liver parfait was served in a jar straight from the fridge so it was impossible to spread. 2 of the main courses were rib-eye steaks which were served burnt and very dry, when we complained all they said was "thank you for your feedback".

They reserved us a really bad table in a very hot part of the restaurant. They did change it to a take they had left free for walk in customers.

Went for a pre theatre dinner. We sat upstairs which was good as it was quieter and we could all talk. Food very good value off the pre theatre menu , portions good size and food very good. Our waiter was sweet although his English could have been a bit better. Would definitely go back.

We had a very enjoyable meal before our theatre trip. My friend had the mackerel starter which she said was delicious but contained several large fish bones. The manager apologised and didn't charge for our drinks.

Every Cote Brasserie offers good food, pleasantly served and at an affordable price. Your Charlotte Street branch is no exception and I would certainly go back.

I was pretty disappointed. We had a pre theatre menu meal booked and it too so long to get the main course (1hour 40) that we ended up having to leave before my friend could get the dessert they'd ordered. Lots of people around us were asking where food was, if they could order as they'd been waiting .. if you're going to offer a speedy set menu it needs to be speedy!

Food was good. Set menu offered a good choice and good value. Service could be better- we had to ask twice for the water to be brought, the condiments we asked for when they were offered were never brought, and we had to wait 30 minutes for desert, which was only brought after we had asked again for it.

This chain is great value, we have been there before, and the pre-theatre menu offers good choices. However, they let themselves down the evening we went (8 April). Despite making a 5.45pm reservation and ordering the pre-theatre menu, the delivery of the food slowed down and by the time the dessert came, at the point when we were about to give up and pay and go, my husband had 5 minutes to gulp it down and we had no time for coffee. We had to rush to the theatre and got there just in time for curtain up at 7.30. They did not charge for the dessert (ie £1.45 knocked off the bill) but it made for a stressful end to the meal that could have been avoided.

It was a good meal but disappointing that having booked as part of a special offer, the staff were unaware of the offer and it took 2 or 3 attempts to ensure that me and my guests were included.

Restaurant food, staff & vibe absolutely lovely. Our voucher for the free wine never came and still hasn't come, through the rewards on the website. Chef burnt my starter so I had to change my dish, but that was fine and the staff were super sweet and helpful.

Great service, delicious food, can recommend the charcuterie chicken salad and steak frites. Perfect for after a matinée performance or pre theatre. A bit slow to get the bill and payment organised only quibble.

I first ate in a Cote Brasserie in York in 2015. Then, I came upon one in Canterbury in 2016 and thought, aha! This is a chain! But I ate there, too, because this is the most un-chain-like restaurant imaginable. And so when I found Cote on Charlotte St, just two blocks from my Gower St B & B, I ate two meals there on my recent 4-day trip to London. The food is superb. The lunch and pre-theater menu (you can order until 7 pm) is a real value. The service is efficient and friendly, and the atmosphere very relaxing. It is also a place that makes a late middle-aged woman like me traveling on her own for business feel very much at ease.
