Good food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere, and excellent value for money. Cote is a great place for either a quick pre-theatre supper or a more leisurely meal!

Good meal and attentive service despite being rammed pre theatre. Might be a good idea at these busy times to have a sign outside saying "no tables now until xpm" we watched a stream of people come in hopefully wasting their time and that if your staff

Waited one and a half hours for our main meal. The reason given was that the kitchen lost the order slip. Food was only eventually delivered after the manager intervened. This ruined our meal because we then had to rush our main course to leave in time to reach our theatre booking. No time for dessert course or coffee.

Although we turned up 30 mins. early for our booking we were accepted very happily. Also although the restaurant was very busy our orders were taken promptly and efficiently and our food came in good time. The pre-theatre menu for 3 courses is extremely good valu and well worth considering.

We were shown to the table of our choice and the service was excellent as was the food. The staff also were most helpful in not insisting that we had the free bottle of wine on that day and contacting Quandoo on our behalf. There were only two of us yesterday evening. There will be four or five of us visiting the restaurant on 30th March when a full bottle would be much more appreciated than leaving more than half a bottle of wine yesterday. We visit Cote in Convent Garden regularly and have always been satisfied.

We had a great time. The service was particularly good. It was our friend's birthday and we had brought a cake and candles and our waitress got a group together to bring out the cake and sing happy birthday which we really appreciated. The food was delicious.

Lovely place, good atmosphere and the food was very nice. The food did take just a little too long be served and although the waiters were very nice they weren't particularly attentive and we did have to grab their attention a few times to clear plates, get the bill etc.

Food and service very good. Only downside was the table we were seated at in a very cramped corner.....no room for staff or customers to get round us and right by the main door .....so had curtain blown onto us every time the door opened.....so frequently!!
