Côte - Covent Garden

Lovely food as usual. Fab service. Staff are always helpful and jolly. We use Cote because everything is reliable. Super efficient as well. Great meal.

Friendly staff, great food and good atmosphere.. very enjoyable. We had the pre theatre menu which was very good value. We had booked luckily as the queue to get in was huge.

Good food, good service, always reliable. Reasonably priced and lots of special offers if you join the rewards programme. Always our first choice for a family get together.

Great friendly and quick service. Delicious food and a bargain price, what is not to love about this cote in covent garden? Will return again soon.

My party had a lovely pre-theatre meal. It was a warm evening but the restaurant was nice & airy. Our waiter treated us very well & the food was excellent & very good value. We all chose from the Pre-theatre menu. We will definitely book again.

Friendly, efficient service. Good menu choices and quality of food together with the very pleasant ambience made it a very enjoyable experience. Convenient location for pre -theatre dinner.

Really nice food and very good, quick service. It is an excellent choice for pre or post theatre dinner. Could do with a few more vegetarian options.

Excellent. Great food as always. Very busy but the staff were still able to smile and make us feel very welcome and that everything was under control. Perfect for a pre theatre meal. Make sure you book ahead!

Problems with electricity on a rainy mid week evening. Lighting would come on full and then rapidly fade to candle light. A bit hypnotic by the end of the evening!

This is a regular place for me and my friends to eat. The quality of the food is always consistent and the service likewise. Choice is good too. On the last occasion, we arrived half an hour early and although the restaurant was v. busy, we were fitted in albeit with a time constraint, which was suitable. Keep it up!

Always enjoy a visit to this restaurant. However, despite being very quiet, the service was poor. Haphazard, testing, shabby and hardworking. Disappointing. Not the usual standard

Excellent service and good food which was well presented and tasted as good as it looked. The ambience of the restaurant was excellent - there was no loud music!

Great Cote Restuarant. Very friendly staff and a great location. Consistently good food and prompt service. Would like a few tables outside for those warm days.

Booked for 5.15pm but got there at 5.00pm. We had the 3 course pre theatre menu which had plenty of choice for £13.95. We didn't feel rushed at all and service was very efficient. We left at 6.45pm and the place was full with more queuing for a table. Very enjoyable and Beautiful at the Aldwych theatre was brilliant.

Excellent restaurants and fabulous service couldn't ask for more staff are lovely food great and they made a great fuss over my 10year old granddaughters birthday celebrations.

Good quick service and very reasonably priced good quality food in a perfect location for Covent Garden shows and entertainment. The staff are very efficient and very accommodating.

I have been to Cote Tavistock Street several times. I like Cote overall but this one has gone down the pan. Last time the boiler or heating had broken. I was told I might get some compensation but nothing happened. This time it was rushed, chaotic and the food was poor quality. My asparagus was practically uncooked and the chicken had just the meanest bit of gratin potatoes with it. Not worth the cash and there is a lot of competition around in Covent Garden so I am afraid I shall be changing to another restaurant next time I go to Covent Garden.

Excellent meal & service Just a bit warm Managed to find a table out of the way as it was quite busy in main area

Good all round thanks. Great value for money. Great location. Easy to get to. Nice staff. Good food. Well lit. Friendly atmosphere. Complimentary water which was nice.

We had dinner here before going to the theatre. There were two different menus, a a pre-theatre set courses menu and the regular menu. Half our party ordered from one and half the other. The food and value was excellent and the staff were professional and the service was brilliant. We would definitely visit again.

Friendly staff, food served hot and freshly prepared and good value pre-theatre menu. Chef should be more meticulous with the preparation of fish dishes as we found bones (more than 1) in our starters of smoked mackeral rillettes.

Consistently serves up french classics to a high standard. Good ambience with courteous professional staff. Particularly like the light two course lunch menu that provides the opportunity for a good weekday lunch without the need for an afternoon nap.

Staff were polite and helpful in a very busy restaurant. Food and service were extremely good. Perfect before seeing a show. Very good value for money. Thank you

Excellent food, service was good. Staff were attentive and they made our meal very enjoyable. The chain of Cote restaurants never fails to impress with the quality of their food and service - cant go wrong!

The food was enjoyable. The wine disappointing - very limited choice of dry white wine by the glass. Although we were seated in an alcove, it was extremely noisey - I know it is difficult and the restaurant was ful- disappointing as we only meet occasionally.

Lively restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. The service as always was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. Ideal location for a pre-theatre meal and we'll certainly return.

Reasonable experience, although a colleague of mine did not receive his chips until after he had basically finished his rib eye steak which was quite disappointing.

Excellent service and good food throughout the courses. We shall come again when we are in London for the an evening out with our friends.

They were busy when we got there but coped well, and we had a really good evening and both the service and the food were good

Nice meal, staff very friendly. Our visit included complimentary glasses of prosecco., the offer being clearly shown to the waitress when ordering. However when bill received the prosecco was included on the bill. The amount was removed when pointed out so no problem, but that sort of thing always makes me wonder, "genuine mistake" or ??????

As ever, excellent! Four delighted guests, great staff, most obliging. Best value good food around, consistently good and the specials make for good weekly variety of seasonal options.

Food excellent as always but I chose a rather hidden table so got a bit ignored . I'm a huge fan of cote and will always eat there if one is in the vicinity . But oh - no water on the table !

Really good atmosphere, service, FOOD and wine! Pre-theatre diner menu was excellent - chosen every possible option on the menu. Amazing Creme Caramel for dessert - the best I have ever eaten!

Good well prepared food. Pleasant surroundings. Not where you go for high creativity or posh service, but prices reflect that and value for money is sound.

Although we had booked, we did have to wait 15 mins for our table. Very busy! However, we were given a Kir while waiting and, when seated, bi th food and service were excellent. Crewe brûlée was divine!

Really good value set menu. Service was pretty good. It appears the exterior is currently being renovated (so scaffolding around the outside seats) but couldn't really fault it.

We have been to Cote many times and always happy with food and service. We did have to wait 45 mins for our table but we were late so we can't really complain and they gave us a glass of prossecco while we waited which was a nice touch.

Staff friendly and helpful despite being very busy. Food good. Minor criticism - long wait for main course which, since we had booked for a matinee performance, we were unable to have desert or coffee. Waiter aware of situation and very apologetic. Cote still the most reliable and used restaurant for us.

Myself and a friend went for a meal after going to a matinee on Saturday afternoon, knowing the restaurant would be busy we pre booked a table for 5.30pm. And despite the fact the restaurant was extremely busy, the waiting staff were extremely attentive, the food and service was up to the excellent standard I have come to expect at this branch of cote. I was quite sad to learn that many of the regular waiting staff that I have come to know over the last four years as a regular customer at this branch of cote are leaving, and I do hope the new waiting staff that are replacing them, will be an improvement on our experience of last week when it appears the regular waiting staff were off duty. I think the upper management need to keep a close eye on the service because restaurants can lose their excellent reputation overnight by poor service.

Good food. Good choice and service was efficient. Very reasonable price for 3 course theatre dinner. Venue just across from Drury Lane. Would visit again.

Excellent set menu with plenty choice and real value for money. Food was excellent and service exemplary. It's ideally located for theatre land and all the attractions around Covent Garden

Great food and most attentive service... we had our per-theater meal set and it was delicious! Even though it was a full house, the food came along very quickly and within an hour, we were off the doors - straight to Lion King! We will return even if we are not catching a show!

Attentive service, good value pre-theatre menu. Appreciated gesture of a drink on the house as we had to wait a short time for our reserved table.

Nice food and nice environment in a good location. The waiting staff were a little less impressive with only one exception. We had a lovely evening and would return due to the central location.

Nice restaurant in good location for West End . Also very easily reached from Waterloo. The staff are attentive but not overpowering and we were not rushed. Would recommend for reasonably priced meal pre theatre trip.

Always a good choice for a casual lunch with old friends. Good food, nice staff and service and the price is right. Well done and thank you.

They do the pre-theatre options very well, though the restaurant was warm and a little cramped. The food is always good value and very tasty.

Really excellent lunch, the service and food from the set menu was delicious and such good value and the wine we chose to accompany the meal was very reasonably priced, and as always the service was exemplary.

Quick and efficient service, charming staff, good varied menu. Restaurant very busy and a bit on the noisy side. Also we got the wrong bill but this was quickly rectified. Otherwise an enjoyable meal.

We had to wait 15 mins for our table which wouldn't normally be a problem but we only had an hour before we had to leave for the theatre. However we were assured that the service would be quick and indeed it was excellent. We were given a glass of kir royale while we waited an a bowl of Kalamari as soon as we sat down. And true to their word we managed three courses in an hour! Would highly recommend for pre theatre menu but allow more time!
