Good menu choice and helpful manager. Service from waiting staff can be a bit hit and miss and rather slow. Food (when it comes) is generally good.

Very good service, our waitress was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy but we didn't have to wait for anything. The food was good too, the usual Côte standard.

We were going to the opera at Covent Garden and we know this restaurant is convenient, good and quick. We had booked a late lunch and the staff were ready for us . We enjoyed a selection from the set menu and were out in good time for the opera.

We enjoyed our evening. We had a theatre offer of complimentary kir royales which was a lovely start to enjoyable meals from the pre-theatre menu. The restaurant was busy with a bustling atmosphere. It was also within close proximity to the Noel coward theatre which made for easier access for two of our party with mobility problems. Would recommend this restaurant.

Busy branch of this popular chain. Had to wait a while for each course, perhaps not enough staff to cope with the large party was in. Food very good.

A very pleasant meal in pleasing surroundings. The Steak Frites is an excellent dish, although my mint, pea and courgette soup had a slightly "boiled" sensation....

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but efficient. Excellent, attentive service: courteous and helpful. One particular detail that was appreciated (and is all too rare in restaurants) the staff pointed out any dishes that were not available in giving us the menus. The range of the meals on offer (set menu and specials) is first rate as is the preparation and presentation of the food. The perfect post-theatre experience, our meal was a great end to a great evening.

Hi , we all had the fixed price menu - 2 items for 12.99 or 3 for £14 ,. They were fine in and of themselves but not particularly filling .you need to order extra sides really to leave the table full

The quality of the food was high, as usual, and the service efficient and fast. In particular, I enjoyed the duck and the dessert. The restaurant is very popular and hence noisy. Given the prices in London, the relationship between price and quality is excellent.

We visit this branch of Cote for 90% of our London theatre trips. The staff are well trained and particularly engaging. I have to say, there's a really nice buzz, busy and companiable without being overwhelming. We always enjoy our meal and the experience as a whole, not to mention that it's excellent value for money.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere very busy as of course it is in the middle of theatre land. The food was fine but not as good as other COTE we have been to. Portions not huge The price is good value For London. The creme caramel delicious. Smoked Haddock dish not much fish involved. I would recommend Cote. Remember each branch is different and although the menu is the same the chef is different.

Good food, good service. The restaurant gets pretty busy and loud on a sat night - particularly after 7.30, not the place for a quiet meal
