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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
