Very good value indeed. Ideal pre-theatre restaurant. But if you don't book ahead you will not get a table. Good selections of wines by the glass. Very lively, especially around 6:30pm.

Nice food, good service, buzzing atmosphere if at little noisy at peak times of lunch time service. The May special wine - Fleurie- was delightful.

A very good choice of food and excellent service. The need for gluten free options is well catered for and the pricing of the food is very reasonable.

we went for a meal after going to a matinee on Saturday afternoon at the opera hpouse, knowing the restaurant would be busy we pre booked a tab. Despite the fact the restaurant was extremely busy, the waiting staff were extremely attentive, the food and service was up to the excellent standard I have come to expect at this branch of cote. The set menu is certainly excellent value, and offers something for everyone.

Booked for 6pm 16/9. Arrived on time, table not ready chaos at the door, people waiting to get in, and out. Staff having to push passed everyone. Went for a walk and arrived back at 6:15, waited again, table eventually ready. You need to sort the entrance / exit!

Food was good you were very busy and so service was slow. The ladies' toilets were a disgrace! Vomit on the floor and seat of one cubicle, blocked loo in the other cubicle. I did inform a ( very busy) member of staff so don't know how quickly you were able to sort things out. So, these negative comments rather took the shine of the evening.

Absolutely wonderful service. Had the pre-theatre set meal and food arrived quickly. Staff were attentive. Great food, great stuff. If half bottles of wine were offered, I think a lot more people would order that.

Food delicious as usual, the set menu is really good value. The restaurant was extremely busy at lunchtime mainly due to theatre goers and we had to wait a long time for food, so not great if you were in a hurry. Staff were friendly and helpful

As reliable as ever for atmosphere, very good service and an excellent pre- theatre menu. We love Cote and appreciate the loyalty points, which are great when you dine at Cote as frequently as we do.

Usually impressed with everything at Cote but chicken very dry I should have said something but with a friend and chatting so did not think. Also ordered olives & bread which arrived at same time as starter so ended up not eating them - may be the lesson is don't go on a Sunday lunchtime!

Food was good but we felt a bit squashed in as it was very busy and our table was inserted in a small space. Good value on the tasty pre theatre menu.

We were going to a matinee performance at the Peacock Theatre in Holborn. So I booked a table at the Cote Tavistock Street, which is less than 5 minutes walk from the theatre. As always we received a really friendly welcome and were shown to our Table, On this occasion we chose the Set Lunch Menu the My friend had the golden Beetroot salad followed by the steak, and I had the mackerel rillettes followed by the chicken chasseur, The was delicious and beautifully presented, and the table service excellent. The set lunch/Pre theatre Menu is exceptional value for money, and there is always something on it to suit everyone.

We went to the Cote in Tavistock Street for breakfast as we had a meeting later that morning. I can only say how good the Cote Breakfast is. All the ingredients are of the best quality much as you would expect from Cote, the service exemplary, and excellent value as always. If you find yourself in London, or come to that anywhere near a branch of Cote, and need breakfast to set you up for the rest of the day I can highly recommend a visit to your local Cote.
