Good value food, good service, great location. Went for lunch with a girlfriend for lunch pre theatre matinee - asparagus for starter, steak and salad for main - 2 courses £12.50 - Covent Garden - what's not to like!

A busy restaurant but to be expected pre-theatre in Covent Garden. The scallop starter was delicious; there was a bit of a wait for the main course but we were able to finish in time for our play.

As always consistently great food, service and value for money, Cote has to be the casual dining experience which sets the benchmark against the competition

I enjoyed a fantastic pre theatre meal at Cote Covent Garden. Delicious mushroom and brioche entree, baked fish main. Cote offers always good, always consistent, always excellent service.

Great service, great ambience and great food. Only one criticism, there's not enough choice for vegetarians! Will definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Great if you're going to see a show as they do special pre theatre menus that are favourably priced.

The dessert took more thank half an hour to arrive and we had to ask twice. They did take it off the bill, but still included the tip in the final price they entered on the card machine. Nice food nonetheless and friendly staff.

Excellent service by a very friendly staff. In case of a pre-theatre dinner speed is essential, and the service lived up to expectation. Food, all three courses were delicious and wine was served at the right temperature.

Amazing food, wine and deserts so delicious. Duck roast is one of my favourite. It would benefit if during hot summers days they have outside seating available.

As usual the pre-theatre menu was slightly changed from March. All 3 courses were of the usual very good standard though I preferred the celeriac starter to the pear salad. Service friendly and helpful as ever.

I have dined at this restaurant for many years sadly on this occasion the waitress who served us was really not up to the mark and far and far below the standard I have come to expect from cote restaurant's. as always the food was excellent even if the waitress was more interested in chatting to other members of staff rather than attending the tables.

We were offered a special theatre menu at a great price for 2/3 courses and an amazingly warm welcome from the front of house manager and the waiting staff! The food arrived promptly and was delicious, try the minute steak with fries, it was rally good as was the chocolate mousse! Special thanks to Maria on front of house who's smile and friendly attitude made us feel so very welcome ............... we love you Maria! We will be returning to eat here on our next visit to the theatre.

Lovely old favourites, like the bottle of Cremant and the bread with new mains , lamb rump, tender and tasty for me and Breton fish stew for my husband, both divine. As the restaurant had run out of strawberries my crepe came with caramelised bananas, which beat the strawberries hands down. As ever we will be back. Cote is the best middle range restaurant in London, we are never disappointed.
