Usual excellent value and always reliable steak frite. The score would be higher if the lighting were better - I could barely see what I was eating. My complaint on leaving was met with an inane comment that it was darker outside! I also have my doubts that the glass of wine I ordered had a full 175ml - it seemed pretty small.

This is a busy but comfortable restaurant with quick and friendly service. The food was well flavoured and interesting, especially the excellent crème caramel. With a glass of good wine and coffee the pre-theatre 3-course menu is very good value.

Overall food was of great quality and service excellent. Delay to sit down as very busy desspite booking. If you want to eat on a Saturday evening before a theatre visit then book. A lot of people arriving who had not booked were disappointed.

Ideal lunch stop prior to a guided tour of the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Travel delays meant we had to put our booking back 15 minutes: no problems and we had a pleasant table, with good service in a tight timescale. The two course deal was ideal, and the steak frites authentic and tasty, washed down with a glass of house white. Our fourth visit to a Cote this year, consistent value-for-money offer every time.

For the first time, we had a negative experience with regard to the onion soup that one of us had ordered.The cheese and the bread did not taste right. After eating the soup, my friend felt warm and nauseous. We did not know why but when he went to the lavatory, he threw up the soup. This means that his body rejected something that had gone bad. There must have been a bacteria in the soup or it was not prepared in a hygienic way. We complained to the manager. At first he did not believe that the soup was the problem, as it happened too soon after eating it but after my friend had thrown up, he realised that he was wrong. He talked to the chef and he solved the situation in a satisfactory manner. The soup and the main course that my friend had ordered were deducted from the bill and the coffee was on the house. We were pleased with the way the manager handled the matter, burwe hope that in future, the cooks and the chef will be more careful with the way they handle food and with hygiene . Yours sincerely Jean Marc Asso

Very well organised restaurant with friendly, efficient and helpful staff, particularly Johanna. Timing of food was good without any feeling of being rushed. Fixed price pre-theatre menu was varied. Good starter was let down by an underwhelming main, (haddock parmentier - there was no smoke flavour to the fish, cheese flavour was lacking, sauce watery and leeks undercooked). Desserts were better than main.

The pre-theatre menu is of sound quality, though limited, and is good value. Service was excellent. As always in Cote the tables were uncomfortably close together. Some silly music, but not too loud.

We called in for a late lunch after attending a piano recital in Covent Garden, From the moment we entered the restaurant the service was exemplary, the lunch menu had a wide variety of dishes in fact so many it was hard to choose. The food was delicious and extremely well presented. I can highly recommend this branch of cote

The food was good, as always. We did have a trainee waitress who was a little confused about the order which meant we had to wait for the third starter to arrive. Other than that we had another enjoyable pre theatre supper.
