We enjoyed the pre-theatre menu which was served promptly, and was appetising. We were well looked after and were not hurried, bearing in mind the restaurant was very busy.
We had booked a table for four for 18:30 on a Saturday. Although the place was very busy the service was excellent and the quality of the food (pre-theatre menu) was good and great value for money. We've eaten at a number of Cote restaurants in London and cannot recommend highly enough, the food and service are consistently of a high standard.
Wow....food was very good...amazing value for money....and the service was ten out of ten A great evening and would definitely recommend this place. Keep up the good work Only one suggestion....change the deserts on the set menu....they have been the same for years!!!!
We had a great three course meal in this restaurant before going to the theatre. The staff were very friendly and the service was impeccable
Fantastic as always, its our go to when in the west end, always briliant service, good menu choices, no long waits, perfect. It was my mother in laws birthday treat and they brought her a cake with a candle and sang her happy birthday.
Took a friend there for a late lunch, as I am always talking about this restaurant. She is not one for chain restaurants, but was thoroughly surprised by the quality of food, professionalism of staff and service. She enjoyed the food and I was glad that this restaurant did not disappoint. The only reason I gave a five star rating instead of six was that the bottled water was not chilled, but the staff did replenish our glasses with plenty of ice. Otherwise it was PERFECT!! Thank You!
Lovely food and great service as always from Cote. Staff were cheerful, attentive and excellent. Portion sizes just right. Good choice on the pre theatre menu. Would definitely eat here again.
Had a fabulous meal, and as always the service was excellent. Complimentary let royels, as it was my birthday, which were lovely. We have been going to the vote restaurant in covent garden for over 10 years and always try to find one when ever we are out doing a theatre trip.
Have been a frequenter of Cote for several years now They NEVER disappoint - always very dependable We use 3 of thei restaurants in London and my family and I use 3 in Surrey
We booked a table at the cote tavistock street as we were attending the royal ballet school summer performance. There were four of us in the party and for two of the guests it was their first visit to a cote restaurant both were incredibly impressed by Pre theatre set menu and the wide variety of dishes on offer. Needless to say both the staff and the food were up to the usual excellent standard, so once again I would like to pass on my compliments to both the waiting room and kitchen staff that create such a wonderful atmosphere and turning a dining experience into a memorable occasion.
As always excellent food and great atmosphere 😀 Always enjoy visiting Cotes excellent service and never feel as if you are being rushed out will keep going back .
Food and service were good but the restaurant was so busy pre theatre that it was obvious the kitchen couldn't cope. We got there at 6 and didn't get our main course until 7 so we had no time for desert - such a shame as I know how good the deserts are!! They also wasted time by serving the meals before giving us cutlery - totally mad.
Good range of food, on specials, pre-theatre and full menu. Good celection of wines. Complimentary table water without asking. Altogether, a good meal. Will return.
The pre-theatre dinner menu was very good value for money with plenty of choice. The food was very good and the staff were friendly and efficient.
Lime and soda drink not straight forward. Warm wine. Lukewarm food. Squeeze around table and all access routes. Blocked toilet which is downstairs right next to kitchen.
varied menu great service good vegetarian choice lovely waitress Vanessa at Covent garden very sweet great locations cloth napkins good cutlery fab atmosphere excellent value
Nice atmosphere - dependable and well priced food. Tavistock Street is in a great position for Covent Garden etc and the quality/price ratio is excellent for the area.
Great food service and ambience would visit again. Only comment is that tables could be spaced out a little more, but appreciate this probably not financially feasible
From all the Cotê restaurants that I've visited, this one was a little bit disappointing: our table was greasy and we had to wait more than 10 minutes for it to be cleaned. And even the food wasn't that great, as usual, particularly my mine dish was slightly overcooked and under seasoned. When receiving the bill, I've noticed that promotion I qualified for was not included, however, that was rectified quickly and additionally our wine was taken off the bill - that was a very nice gesture!
Great food and service as usual, the menu has changed slightly and so I was a bit disappointed that a couple of my favourite dishes were no longer on the menu but still had a great meal.
5 of us ate there today. 2 of us enjoyed the good value pre theatre menu - I had the steak frites (close my eyes and I'm in France). 2 vegetarians found stuff that they wanted to eat, and apparently the mushroom and spinach crepes were extremely tasty. A very reasonable bill at the end . The only criticism? a few more olives and a more generous bread allowance for the nibbles beforehand would have gone down well.
The service was very good as was the food. We were shown to a very comfortable window seat. Unfortunately I had to question the bill but this was soon rectified without issue.

We booked a table for six to have breakfast before going to the opera. The food was good but my wife's breakfast was not particularly warm. Perhaps having six orders to produce at once was the cause of this. Service was good particularly indealing with our various requests for type of breakfast, juices and coffees. Unfortunately we had to remind the waiting staff about the fruit juices afetr we were almost at the end of eating our breakfasts. Overall it was good but could do better.
Good food and excellent service.staff very friendly. Perfect location for a pre theatre meal with friends. Cote is always our first choice. Well done Cote.
Four of us friends there for dinner before heading to see musical 'Beautiful' - Cote Brasseries are my favourite places to eat before theatre as such great service, good choices of delicious food and very reasonable prices. Many thanks to all who work at Cotes.
Nice evening at cote, food was really good as Leah's and the service was expand too none. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a good value and great service
Quality of food and drink and service good and speedy but the restaurant was so extremely noisy it was difficult to have any conversation with companions.
Great service as usual at the Côte Brasserie, Covent garden. The food is good and the staff are always very pleasant. Nothing is too much trouble.
Food was as good as it always is and theatre dinner so reasonably priced. However on my last visit (Tues 18th July) the staff outdid themselves with their friendliness and professionalism.
Fantastic service, lovely good and great atmosphere. Quick and good value, especially if you are going onto the theatre or a show. Good choice of food.
This was our 3rd visit to this Cote and, once again it was superb. We were cheerfully greeted by the manager and by our friendly and efficient waitress. The choice of food was excellent with some different combinations of ingredients. A very good start to an evening out. Thank you. Tim & Helen
The first course of apple, endive and roquefort salad bore no resemblance to what was stated on the menu which hardly any roquefort cheese and no endive. Very poor.
Generally good overall staff courteous and attentive but ran out of Camembert for the main on the set menu which was a disappointment. Being a cheeese I thought it would have been a staple! For a French restaurant
Good food, enjoyable meal. The restaurant staff were reasonably able to deal with issues and food was quite good. We were slightly disappointed in the time it took to pay.
Booking was for 3 people, pre-theatre on a Thursday at 5pm. Lovely friendly and attentive staff, a credit to the restaurant. Food was good and great value. Thank you! Toilets unfortunately situated, right next to the kitchen and are very small and there is a lot of waiter traffic, (this is in no way a negative comment against staff, rather a notice for the owner).
The restaurant was very busy as it was pre-theater. But this didn't stop the waiters providing excellent service. Excellent value with the set menu and good food.
A very good level of service, with helpful waiters. good food for lunch. as expected! very convenient for Royal Opera House, and other theatres. not too crowded.
Speedy & attentive & fast service. Food choices excellent & tasty & hot. Buzzing ambience & close to theatre for show. Highly recommended for all round enjoyment.
Consistently good food. Menu changes every month and always a good variety on offer. Reasonably prices wines and very good value for money. Service slow at busy times.
Bit disappointed that the fish courses were not available and soup advertised on the menu was different. Otherwise had a good time though had to remind the waiter that we were waiting starter dish
Very busy restaurant but great atmosphere. Always good vfm. Service a bit slow but not a problem as we had lots to talk about. Menu choice and quality of food very good.
Excellent food and attentive service. Speedy, needed for pre-theatre without feeling rushed. Staff responded to requests promptly and helpfully, but the star of course must be the food, which was most enjoyable.
Quick, friendly service. Food good value for money to suit most pockets. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it to friends. Convenient to Theatre land and Covent Garden.
Excellent variety of food cooked well. Prompt service from friendly staff. We like that the menus change on a monthly basis, always something new to look forward to. Well Done. Sheila

Food was delicious as usual and we were going to have dessert but tan out of time as we were gong to the theatre. The restaurant was really busy so not quite as fast as usual but the service was impeccable.
The staff were excellent, friendly and served us well. The tables are extremely small and difficult to negotiate, people behind us couldn't move chairs without us moving ours. Service a little slow but I understand central London in the lunch hour is extremely busy. Food really good but coffee way too strong.
Great food, at brilliant price, had the pre-theatre meal was very good, would go again, only downside is it was very busy so got forgotten about plus on a hot day the air con was not that great.
An attracive restaurant in a popular London area. Immediate attention from staff. Excellent meal and wine at a reasonable price. Will definitely recommend to friends and look forward to my next meal in Côte Tavistock Street.
Excellent food, service and value - as always. Great choice for pre-theatre menu and have never been let down. Many thanks to the team x
The food was good (as always). The service a little slower than usual. But my guests and I enjoyed ourselves. We know that Cote can always be relied upon.
