The food was good (as always). The service a little slower than usual. But my guests and I enjoyed ourselves. We know that Cote can always be relied upon.
A very good level of service, with helpful waiters. good food for lunch. as expected! very convenient for Royal Opera House, and other theatres. not too crowded.
Speedy & attentive & fast service. Food choices excellent & tasty & hot. Buzzing ambience & close to theatre for show. Highly recommended for all round enjoyment.
Consistently good food. Menu changes every month and always a good variety on offer. Reasonably prices wines and very good value for money. Service slow at busy times.
Bit disappointed that the fish courses were not available and soup advertised on the menu was different. Otherwise had a good time though had to remind the waiter that we were waiting starter dish
Very busy restaurant but great atmosphere. Always good vfm. Service a bit slow but not a problem as we had lots to talk about. Menu choice and quality of food very good.
Excellent food and attentive service. Speedy, needed for pre-theatre without feeling rushed. Staff responded to requests promptly and helpfully, but the star of course must be the food, which was most enjoyable.
Quick, friendly service. Food good value for money to suit most pockets. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it to friends. Convenient to Theatre land and Covent Garden.
Excellent variety of food cooked well. Prompt service from friendly staff. We like that the menus change on a monthly basis, always something new to look forward to. Well Done. Sheila

Food was delicious as usual and we were going to have dessert but tan out of time as we were gong to the theatre. The restaurant was really busy so not quite as fast as usual but the service was impeccable.
The staff were excellent, friendly and served us well. The tables are extremely small and difficult to negotiate, people behind us couldn't move chairs without us moving ours. Service a little slow but I understand central London in the lunch hour is extremely busy. Food really good but coffee way too strong.
Great food, at brilliant price, had the pre-theatre meal was very good, would go again, only downside is it was very busy so got forgotten about plus on a hot day the air con was not that great.
An attracive restaurant in a popular London area. Immediate attention from staff. Excellent meal and wine at a reasonable price. Will definitely recommend to friends and look forward to my next meal in Côte Tavistock Street.
Excellent food, service and value - as always. Great choice for pre-theatre menu and have never been let down. Many thanks to the team x
As usual very pleasant service. Helpful and courteous. Our meal was served quickly and efficiently which was good as we were going to the theatre. Can always rely on a good, value for money deal at Cote.
We were 10 mins early had to wait for table - that's ok - very busy - drinks took a while to arrive and I had to ask for my prebooked rewards drinks but waitress good and food excellent
Positive: Lovely food, lovely staff, theatre menu good value and plenty choice. Not so positive: Hot day and no air conditioning so rather uncomfortable and only one toilet working for ladies.
V good food and lots of atmosphere. Service as good as it possibly could be given how busy the place was. Perfect location just yards away from the theatre.
I have visited here on several occasions and have never been disappointed with the food. Excellent value for money. Nice atmosphere. Also great before theater.
A restaurant in a great location serving delicious French food by welcoming, efficient & friendly staff. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and would visit again.
Good food and service. Monthly menus offer a good range of options for each course. Vibrant ambience yet not noisy. No pressure to rush and release table. Excellent value for money.
Love the food at Cote - fixed price menu is excellent value with a good choice of dishes. Service was good as well. Only issue is that being fully booked it was noisy to the level where conversation became difficult - not their fault but don't expect a quiet meal!!
Service and food as consistent as it is in any other Cote...that is what I like about your restaurants..you can rely on it being a pleasant experience. The one problem at the Tavistock restaurant is the 'Ladies Loo'. It is down steep stairs, it is VERY small...difficult to get in to especially if someone else is waiting... and you have to wait outside in the way of staff carrying food from the kitchen upstairs to the restaurant. Yesterday one of the two loos was out of order and the other one had a very faulty loo seat and no loo paper. !! The restaurant was very busy with people waiting for tables which didn't make things easier. I understand that it is problem of space and location in that restaurant but what you do have does need to be greatly improved and MONITERED regularly.
Our visit to Cote in Tavistock Street was great from start to finish. The staff were efficient and very pleasant and the food excellent. We all thought it was excellent value too.
Brilliant location right in the heart of Theatreland. Fast courteous service for Pre-Theatre meal. Lovely food and well presented. An ideal restaurant to visit soon!!
We booked to go there as it was close to the Aldwych theatre. The underground was packed, the streets were busy, and we were therefore late for our table we had booked, and understandably they had given it away, as it was so busy, however, the staff were fabulous and let us stay at the front of the queue and found us another table quite quickly. We had the pre-theatre menu, lovely food, and each course came very fast. Lovely place, does get very crowded around theatre times, but that shows how popular it is and other people must rate it highly too. Would go to a Cote restaurant again definitely, Thank you
Food excellent, extremely good value for money and service is very good always extremely helpful if you want to change something would also recommend cote to a friend.
Been here on several occasions & find the menu varied & interesting. More importantly, the staff are always friendly & helpful, regardless of how busy the place gets ....... & it does get very busy. Thoroughly recommend this branch.
Very busy when I arrived so a bit of a wait for the table even though I'd book. Nice glass of complimentary fizz while I waited though. Food is very tasty and came out fast prior to our theatre show. Good friendly service and a wide menu choice. I would recommend.
The food and service were very good. The only downside is that it was exceedingly noisy, though this is understandable for a full restaurant in Theatre-Land.
Very, very busy before theatre start times but staff were happy, quick and efficient. Would come again - If you want to eat between 5pm and 7pm you MUST book or you'll be waiting for ages.
The experience was spoilt when it came to the end of the meal. The service during the meal was very good, and the food was excellent. Having finished, we had to ask for the bill 3 times, and it took half an hour before we got to pay. Very disappointing end to what was otherwise an excellent meal.
Food was delicious - cold tomato soup and seafood pasta. As ever, staff very helpful and friendly. Queues were out the door when we left - no wonder!!
Good food and friendly and efficient staff. Restaurant was very busy but the staff worked very hard. Food was good value for money and we enjoyed our visit
On a very hot day and a completely full restaurant, the staff were brilliant. It must have been pretty awful for them, but you would not have known it - except for the inevitable damp patches on their shirts! Given the heat and the fullness of the restaurant, the quality of the food was very good and the service quite rapid enough. The branch passed a considerable test with flying colours.
We had a really great time at Cote Covent Garden, the food was excellent, service was fast and efficient, the place had really good atmosphere, all in all we enjoyed our visit.
very good value food and friendly service in pleasent airy surroundings. Great location in the west end for pre or post theatre meals and drinks
The first thing the "welcomer" said to us was we had to leave in under 2 hours even though we arrived early! Main waiter at table was excellent but support servers clearly lacked experience and not all side dishes arrived - we had to ask again. Also when being served or handed the bill I like to make eye contact and not have my server looking anywhere else.
We had a delicious meal despite turning up at the St. Martins Lane Brasserie instead of the Tavistock Street Brasserie. Our mistake was dealt with efficiently by a very friendly and welcoming member of staff. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.
Fantastic food and service, perfect theatre location. Pre theatre menu is fantastic value will definitely be attending again very soon and recommending to people .
2nd time I've dined here this week. It was extremely busy (food warm rather than hot) and the waiter somewhat distracted - although as always - very friendly.
Great service, really friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food was delicious, perfectly prepared and presented well. Despite the restaurant being full and very busy, the food arrived in good time and we were not rushed. A very enjoyable dining experience.
The food was good as always. The service was good and friendly as always. That's all that needs to be said about this particular occasion.
Efficient and friendly service. Gratuity is automatically added. The food is pretty good, I had the Steak Frites which was cooked pink as labelled. Fries were ok. My mum had the sea bream with ratatouille and thought it was delicious. One point that bothered me is that the tables are too crowded together. They've packed them in like sardines. Not a great atmosphere. But perfectly good place to get pre-theatre dinner - affordable, efficient and nice food.
Yet again, another great visit to Cote. And so wonderful to have our table in the alcove. Another super meal wth friends and family. Thank you so much, yet again.
We arrived a little late and it was no problem. The waitress took us to our table and was back quickly to order drinks. Great banter with the friendly staff and really good food. Highly recommended
Lovely food, especially the creme caramel. Excellent service and we're happy for us to stay and chat. Just took forever to get someone to take our money!!!
Good food and service, excellent value too. What more does one want (or need to say)! Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Friendly, efficient service but we were squashed into a very small corner at the back of the restaurant, which was pretty uncomfortable. Otherwise, a pleasant evening.
Absolutely fantastic - lovely food and great setting. Would recommend getting the gratin with anything as it is that good. Staff were helpful and polite. Perfect evening meal.
