Family of 5 having brunch as part of a 21st celebration. The staff were very attentive and provided us with complimentary drinks due to it being for a birthday which was very kind. The food was delicious and amazing value. Thanks so much!

Extensive choice on 3 menus including a la Carte and 2 or 3 course options. Service was prompt, attentive and friendly. Food served at a good pace. Unbeatable value.

They misplaced my reservation, the glasses were dirty, and they seated us in a dark room underground by the toilets. We had to ask to order and for drinks as they forgot about us, then they forgot to bring both the starter and the main for one of our party. They were incompetent and added a tip to the bill which we obviously did not pay.

We are all great fans of Cote, have rarely if ever a poor meal. The choice of dishes is huge and good value, with generous portion sizes, the prices are reasonable and service always prompt and very friendly. Last night was no exception. Our waitress noted we needed to leave for the theatre just after 7pm and our meal (delicious) arrived very fast.

Arrived for a pre-theatre meal. Very busy but thankfully we had booked. Service excellent. Our order was taken promptly and although we decided on the two course menu there would have been time for a third. Charlotte, our waitress, gave friendly and efficient service. I felt Cote was especially suited for those looking to eat before the theatre. Food interesting but unfussy. Happy to recommend.

We were expected and a prepared table was waiting for us. We decided on two courses and were very happy with not only the quality of the food and its presentation but the service provided which was welcoming friendly and professional. This was an excellent experience with friends after a very enjoyable matinee at the theatre. Jim.

This was a very ordinary meal. The sourdough toast that was served with my wife's salmon rillettes has obviously been sitting around for quite a while and was consequently dried out and too hard to eat. The watercress garnish was limp. The salad that came with her sea bass was past limp - it was brown and slimy! Not a good advert for a chain that stakes its reputation on serving consistently good food.

We have been to this branch before as it is ideally placed for pre-theatre eating. We were, though, amazed that you charged for a small pot of tartare sauce, my wife's fish was bony and we resent the default tip being 12.5%.

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.

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.

Lovely table service. soothing went wrong with mains course order, might have been my fault, but all was sorted, and I had super food, very shortly afterward, these things happen. My 2 other dining companions, plus me, (we meet regularly with you) love the foods ,service the the ability to talk without being rushed. The person who looked after us today, was wonderful.

It is always such a pleasure to return to Cote in Covent Garden. Our recent dining experience was superb. Though plenty of classic French fare is on offer, everything is presented with a fresh new take. The design concepts are impressive, the ingredient combinations enticing, and the flavors just delicious. As well, the waiters were smart, witty, interesting conversationalists, and wonderfully efficient. Always busy and bustling, the charming rooms permit a feeling of intimacy for two even amidst the buzz. Highly recommended for a great dinner out.

Been to this chain of restaurants many times so know what to expect.tavistock Road is one we have been to on several occasions being Mothering Sunday it wasn’t as busy as usual so was badly let down by the service .We waited almost an hour after our starters so asked what happened to our food .The majority of the staff we too busy gossipping to take much notice of us so took almost 15minutes to get attention bearing in mind we were the only ones in the first part of the restaurant .The manageress apologised and said it was due to staff change over shift that our food had been forgotten to order

So great to visit a proper Côte after my terrible experience at the Marlow branch a couple of weeks ago. Hats off to all the staff - front and back of house. Thats how you do it! Suggest you bus the Marlow staff to Tavistock Street to show them how it should be done.

The set menu is good value and the food and service are excellent. My only small gripe is that the mains don’t come with veg and they are quite small portions without veg. It really bumps the price up having to order sides.

May Pre Theatre menu had excellent choice. We had Grilled Sardines & Charcuterie Board for starter, Sea Bream for main and then classic Creme Caramel & Iced Berries for dessert. The starter & main meal were cooked to perfection. The staff were efficient and friendly and service spot on.
