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.

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.

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.

Love the food at Cote - fixed price menu is excellent value with a good choice of dishes. Service was good as well. Only issue is that being fully booked it was noisy to the level where conversation became difficult - not their fault but don't expect a quiet meal!!

Service and food as consistent as it is in any other Cote...that is what I like about your restaurants..you can rely on it being a pleasant experience. The one problem at the Tavistock restaurant is the 'Ladies Loo'. It is down steep stairs, it is VERY small...difficult to get in to especially if someone else is waiting... and you have to wait outside in the way of staff carrying food from the kitchen upstairs to the restaurant. Yesterday one of the two loos was out of order and the other one had a very faulty loo seat and no loo paper. !! The restaurant was very busy with people waiting for tables which didn't make things easier. I understand that it is problem of space and location in that restaurant but what you do have does need to be greatly improved and MONITERED regularly.

We booked to go there as it was close to the Aldwych theatre. The underground was packed, the streets were busy, and we were therefore late for our table we had booked, and understandably they had given it away, as it was so busy, however, the staff were fabulous and let us stay at the front of the queue and found us another table quite quickly. We had the pre-theatre menu, lovely food, and each course came very fast. Lovely place, does get very crowded around theatre times, but that shows how popular it is and other people must rate it highly too. Would go to a Cote restaurant again definitely, Thank you

Very busy when I arrived so a bit of a wait for the table even though I'd book. Nice glass of complimentary fizz while I waited though. Food is very tasty and came out fast prior to our theatre show. Good friendly service and a wide menu choice. I would recommend.

The food and service were very good. The only downside is that it was exceedingly noisy, though this is understandable for a full restaurant in Theatre-Land.

Very, very busy before theatre start times but staff were happy, quick and efficient. Would come again - If you want to eat between 5pm and 7pm you MUST book or you'll be waiting for ages.

The experience was spoilt when it came to the end of the meal. The service during the meal was very good, and the food was excellent. Having finished, we had to ask for the bill 3 times, and it took half an hour before we got to pay. Very disappointing end to what was otherwise an excellent meal.

On a very hot day and a completely full restaurant, the staff were brilliant. It must have been pretty awful for them, but you would not have known it - except for the inevitable damp patches on their shirts! Given the heat and the fullness of the restaurant, the quality of the food was very good and the service quite rapid enough. The branch passed a considerable test with flying colours.

The first thing the "welcomer" said to us was we had to leave in under 2 hours even though we arrived early! Main waiter at table was excellent but support servers clearly lacked experience and not all side dishes arrived - we had to ask again. Also when being served or handed the bill I like to make eye contact and not have my server looking anywhere else.

We had a delicious meal despite turning up at the St. Martins Lane Brasserie instead of the Tavistock Street Brasserie. Our mistake was dealt with efficiently by a very friendly and welcoming member of staff. All the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Efficient and friendly service. Gratuity is automatically added. The food is pretty good, I had the Steak Frites which was cooked pink as labelled. Fries were ok. My mum had the sea bream with ratatouille and thought it was delicious. One point that bothered me is that the tables are too crowded together. They've packed them in like sardines. Not a great atmosphere. But perfectly good place to get pre-theatre dinner - affordable, efficient and nice food.
