A busy restaurant but to be expected pre-theatre in Covent Garden. The scallop starter was delicious; there was a bit of a wait for the main course but we were able to finish in time for our play.

Very pleased with the food and the service. Add to that the free bottle of wine (as a new member) and it has to be 6 out of 6.

Cote always offers good value in the pre theatre menu and the service is efficient. Some interesting new options for the May menu but the asparagus was unfortunately rather woody.

Just perfect - team are fantastic. They noted our request for a corner table for my dad's birthday and did everything to make it as special as possible before the theatre. 10/10

We went mid afternoon, between theatre crowds and it was a very relaxing experience. Staff were very patient as one of our party was half an hour late, and food turned up in good time and piping hot. Very friendly wait staff. Have visited this branch of Cote before and will go again.

Great service, great ambience and great food. Only one criticism, there's not enough choice for vegetarians! Will definitely recommend and will definitely be returning. Great if you're going to see a show as they do special pre theatre menus that are favourably priced.

The dessert took more thank half an hour to arrive and we had to ask twice. They did take it off the bill, but still included the tip in the final price they entered on the card machine. Nice food nonetheless and friendly staff.

Excellent service by a very friendly staff. In case of a pre-theatre dinner speed is essential, and the service lived up to expectation. Food, all three courses were delicious and wine was served at the right temperature.

Our first experience at Cote, which we very much enjoyed. The choices in each course was excellent, the quality of the food and the presentation also excellent , as was the service. one very small issue , space was limited due to tables being very close. understandable given the number of customers ,I guess. But it will not stop us from returning .

Amazing food, wine and deserts so delicious. Duck roast is one of my favourite. It would benefit if during hot summers days they have outside seating available.

I love this restaurant. I have eaten there many, many times and I have never had a poor meal there. The lunch/pre theatre menu is excellent value. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cote, Tavistock Street to anyone.

As usual the pre-theatre menu was slightly changed from March. All 3 courses were of the usual very good standard though I preferred the celeriac starter to the pear salad. Service friendly and helpful as ever.

Aperitif brought after first course. Steak frites good but plates cold. Took three attempts to get mayonnaise despite waiter offering it. Felt hurried, compared with other Cotes this was not one I would choose.

The fixed price menu is good value for central London. We had a three course meal for four with a bottle of wine for under £90 including service. The food was well presented and the service unobtrusive.

I have dined at this restaurant for many years sadly on this occasion the waitress who served us was really not up to the mark and far and far below the standard I have come to expect from cote restaurant's. as always the food was excellent even if the waitress was more interested in chatting to other members of staff rather than attending the tables.
