Visit here regularly and always find speedy service and great value for a pre-theatre meal. Lovely last night as warm enough to have all the windows open and we were lucky enough to be by them.

Food and service were excellent as always at a Cote Brasserie. My only negative comment would be that tables at this particular venue seem very close together and the noise level very high. However my guest and I thoroughly enjoyed our pre-theatre lunch, despite having to almost shout at each other!

My friends and I really enjoyed the excellent value pre-theatre 3 course menu. The food was as always delicious (especially the sea bream with ratatouille which was especially tasty). The welcome and the friendly service also made us feel like valued guests. We'll be back again soon.

Food was cold and there was a hair in my partners starter. I told them waiting staff and they didn't seem apologetic. We had the set menu and I wouldn't recommend the chicken main or the peach crumble dessert

Food was fine (although wrong main course was served to my companion) but dining on their pre-theatre menu @6pm I had to bolt my main course. (a salad) as service was so slow. I was still chewing as we ran out of the door. Unimpressed.

We had the pre theatre menu which is exceptionally good value for money and very tasty. The only downside was the tables were packed really close together. I got knocked a couple of times as people passed.

Friendly and attentive service. Went for a pre-theatre dinner and were served promptly and efficiently. We ordered a la carte and the dishes were as described and good value. The portions were just right. There was a good vegetarian menu for the non meat-eater among us. Would recommend this for pre-theatre visits.

On the hottest day of the year, my mother and I enjoyed the two course pre-theatre lunch. It was cool in the restaurant and very busy! However service was very good and friendly. The noise level was pretty high due to it being so busy, but that only goes to show just how popular this particular branch of Cote is! Cote is great value for money and the food has never let me down and I have been to several Cote restaurants, including one in Salisbury. They all have the same high standard of food and waiting staff. I am a big fan.

The food at Cote is always good value, and there are several delicious dishes on the Set Menu. However, today we were disappointed as the service was very slow and not very competent. One of our starters was not as ordered, and we heard the same thing happening at other tables.

Cote continues to do 'what it says on the tin'. Good simple food well prepared and served by friendly and involved staff. We were particularly impressed by the attitude and commitment of the staff; the place was packed for pre-theatre dinners yet everything happened in a timely and calm process. Well done!

I have visited this restaurant before. Never disappointed by food or staff. On this occasion, the staff member (unfortunately, I cannot recall her name: blonde, short hair tied back) was a delight. I was dining with someone whom I had not seen for some time: she, with good humour, accepted our slight delay in ordering initially; totally charming throughout.

Booked pre theatre menu on a Wednesday evening with my husband for 6pm. I arrived a little late & the restaurant was almost full - very busy! Seems like the pre theatre menu is very popular! I ordered the tuna starter & my husband ordered the crab & avocado. We shared & preferred the tuna. For main, I ordered the veggie risotto & my husband ordered the steak frites. I found that the mains were better than the starters however, all food was good for the price - 2 courses for £12.50. The service was good - our waiter cleared plates away promptly & brought extra bits when asked. There was a nice buzz in the restaurant as it was so busy. Toilets could have done with a bit more attention - there was no loo roll but thankfully, there were napkins by the sink. All in all a good dinner for the price but nothing wow. Would definitely revisit if I had a show to go to in the evening again because of the convenience & price.

The pre-show menu was very good value for money, the food delicious and the staff efficient and friendly even although the restaurant was very busy. We were all packed in rather tightly but that is only to be expected when just across the road from the theatre. It's an indication of how popular the restaurant is.

Very friendly staff. We were welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine (my introduction to Cote Rewards). The staff were very understanding of one of my guest's dietary needs. The food was served quickly and efficiently (which was important as we were going on to the theatre) and everyone enjoyed their meal.
