A little bit noisy especially when one of the group has hearing aids but the food was delicious. The food came in a very timely manner.

What a gem of a place. Delicious food and great service. We popped in for a meal on our way to a comedy club ( on the Tuesday) and the food was so tasty and very well cooked, we decided to cancel another booking we had along the road on the Friday evening and go back there.

We had a lovely breakfast - there were five of us in the party. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The table (pre-booked) - was set up and we were offered water as soon as we sat down. The order was taken and the food arrived in timely fashion. It was hot and the ingredients were good quality. We were offered additional cups of coffee / tea as appropriate. All in all a lovely experience.

Wonderful staff. Manager great, he managed my being stupid with time for table, stupid me, but all OK. Lovely food, great service, and no rush to finish. Espressos to finish, asked if any truffles,--no. Manager produced amazing chocolate pot, the 3 of us shared. I always have a super time at Tavistock Street. Love to everyone there, Graham.

We enjoyed our visit to Cote in Tavistock Street. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and we had a very nice pre-theatre meal. We would definitely visit again.

Good food, good service, lively atmosphere. Booking recommended as so near the theatres and hence busy with pre and post theatre goers. One of our favourite Cotes.

We did not stay to eat as the chaos was unacceptable. We had booked a table for 6.30 but this was not available. We had requested a spacious table hoping to enjoy room for a comfortable 3 course meal with aperitifs, bottles of water and wine. We were eventually shown to a tiny table,the gap between the tables was miniscule (being a larger lady I could not even get through the gap). The table was by the door which meant we had to keep our coats on, it was that cold. So many people were crowded in the entrance area and around our table, it was uncomfortable for us. We were given complimentary drinks and assured we would be transferred to a larger table. After 30 minutes this had not happened and we left, never to return to Cote.

This restaurant was a very good choice as a place to eat after a theatre matinee performance. Excellent table, excellent service and very good food, representing great value for money, and there was a lively atmosphere.

We visited this restaurant for the first time three days ago, it was suggested by a family member who informed us that the chain constantly provided excellent food. As we were going to the theatre tonight, we decided to return. The ribeye steak I had on the first visit, was excellent, one of the best I’ve had in years. Today I had the fish stew, the ingredients were fresh and it tasted excellent. I must also mention the french onion soup, which was good, though slightly too sweet for me, although my wife thought it was perfect. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.

Great venue for a pre-musical lunch for MaMa Mia. Lovely waitress the food was fine but overall a little expensive. There is a compulsory service charge, which bumps the price up but fine for our day out at the theatre.

The lunch set menu was very nice and reasonably priced but price is really bumped up when you order sides as the mains don’t come with veg. Dessert choice very limited in set menu. Always lovely food though.

Unhappy experience . Booked table for 3 online and downloaded Saga Wine offer code. But when presented this on arrival was told it could only be redeemed if the 3 people had a main course from the A la Carte menu. In the end we all had more than a main and the bill came to £61.76 for lunch but no wine. On a previous occasion 3 Kir Royales were served graciously without the third degree at the start. As the complimentary bottle of wine is offered for just 2 people dining I think the waiter should have been more considerate. Spoilt the occasion and will not wish to repeat it.

A lively and friendly atmosphere matched by extremely helpful & accommodating staff. Food, as always, is excellent value for money and consistently hits a high standard. Cote Brasserie is, in my opinion, the most consistent and reliable brand of restaurants around.

Unfortunately we were cold at each table offered and it was only the fourth time we were offered another table, that we were warm. Therefore we accepted that we were in a corner at the end of an alcove of tables, my husband facing a wall (we decided to call it the naughty table). This time we were finally warm enough. The food was delicious and the staff were excellent, but as this was a special treat, it was rather spoiled by the lack of comfortable warm tables.

Although the food was good as usual and the service excellent, our experience was let down by the quality of the Ladies toilets, that are falling apart and in poor condition. This is the second visit in a month and they have not improved from the first visit. Toilets are equally improtant to the experience of someone visiting a restaurant

My wife and I had a lovely meal after seeing a show. We were also celebrating my wife’s birthday and had a complementary glass of Kia royale. The meal was excellent also the service ( our waiter was James ) who was very helpful and polite . Can’t praise a Cotes enough.

Service quite slow with an extremely rude waiter. After 20 mins and 2 tables which ordered later than us got their food we asked the waiter to check on our food. She told us we needed to wait 20 more minutes (restaurant was barely half full). Pointed out we'd been waiting 20 minutes already to which she said "no you haven't Hun" and when I pointed out other tables received their food earlier she said "well I don't know". Dinner completely ruined. Do not come to this branch.

Lovely Parisian feel to it. Food good but 2 of our part who had steak, said it was just ok. The entrance & waiting area need to be looked at, very poor. The ladies toilets for too small & it would be nice if you gave a little sweet with the bill. Just a nice little touch, to think about.

I am not sure I have ever given anybody a low 3 star review before. That tells you something! Nice venue for a meal and as our visit was pre-theatre, it was early dinner - 16:45 start. So, it begs the question - how on earth could they have only one beef bourguignon left (we had ordered two)? Not the end of the World and a another selection made. The main course arrived and it was pointed out by me, the carrot and french bean side dishes were not in evidence. Only after much coaxing was it admitted they had been totally forgotten and I was halfway through my meal before they arrived. A goodwill reduction of £8.70 was made to the bill, without prompting by me. The positives - quite an extensive menu to choose from, the staff were pleasant and attentive and service in terms of food presentation and delivery was very good. I would return - but please - must do better.

We both thought the food was delicious and authentically French, especially as the pre-Theatre menu was cheaper than other restaurants in the local area. The staff were charming and we had no trouble settling our bill in time for the ROH at 7.30.
