Fantastic meal for our family party of 6 in very relaxed atmosphere. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. The only slightly negative comment is the condition and location of the toilets - in the basement by the kitchen.

The food was good, the second & much nicer waiter changed our table to a window one, which was excellent, although he forgot the mustard my husband asked for with his ribeye steak. However overall a good experience, the only real problem was the noise, the tables are packed far too close to each other and all the waiters rushing around, working really hard as it was so busy (but it was a Saturday).

Excellent food as always: service efficient and business like. We have visited several Cote Brasserie branches, and found them to be consistently of good quality. would like it if occasional loyalty discounts were offered.

Normally,I am wowed when I eat at Côte but on this occasion it was very average.Waiter got the order wrong and then our mains arrived without the sides which took a further 12 minutes to arrive. When the bill was eventually presented I found i had been charged for what should have been complimentary French 75 ‘s .This was eventually corrected. The restaurant lacked direction although the staff were friendly ,just not very customer oriented!

Always a reliable experience. I invited a friend who had never been to a Cote brasserie before and he enjoyed it immensely. Love the menu changing regularly and keeping up with produce that is in season.

Our experience was as good as we could have hoped for a in busy restaurant in the middle of "theatre-land" The waitress was really efficient , the food was prompt, hot, and tasty and at a reasonable price. An all-round nice start to great day seeing Tina Turner

The only problem is finding the restaurant in Covent Garden. There is a big board listing all the cafes, shops etc with a map, not far from the tube station, but Cote is not on the list. Why is that? Fortunately someone in the theatre we were going to gave us directions but we were late for our booking. We do go to Cote a lot because we like the food, but find that the tables for two are a bit too close together.

I tried the lamb parmentier. An awful dish served in a small preprepared ramekin. 95% potato with very thin layer of lamb at the base The dish also came with a large side dish of carrots At best I would call this mediocre airline fare

Excellent evening, even offered us a drink on the house to move tables at the end of our meal which sadly we could not take advantage of as we had a train to catch would certainly recommend

Efficient and polite service and pleasant ambience. Food good. Visit was let down by the appalling toilet facilities- cramped, filthy dirty, discarded tissue and empty toilet paper rolls all over the floor. Deeply unpleasant and left me wondering on the cleanliness in other areas.

We had a little time as it was pre-west end theatre. We booked in advance and chose the set menu as we had limited time. Very friendly service. The set menu is both good value for money yet still has a nice quality choice different from the alternative bistros of other restaurants.

What a gem of a place. Delicious food and great service. We popped in for a meal on our way to a comedy club ( on the Tuesday) and the food was so tasty and very well cooked, we decided to cancel another booking we had along the road on the Friday evening and go back there.

We had a lovely breakfast - there were five of us in the party. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The table (pre-booked) - was set up and we were offered water as soon as we sat down. The order was taken and the food arrived in timely fashion. It was hot and the ingredients were good quality. We were offered additional cups of coffee / tea as appropriate. All in all a lovely experience.

Excelllent food and service as usual. The only thing that could have improved the experience would have been the reduction in noise as it was difficult to hear my companion without shouting. Background music is not needed when the restaurant is full!

The general problem about Cote is that it tends to be noisy. This one is not so bad as long as you're not in the main part. We were round the back a bit so it was fine. The food is very nice - service a little slow meant that we couldn't have a dessert - but we did manage coffee. There are nice things to choose from on the menus and the food is always good.

Good friendly service. Quality food. Value for money. Always book all over the country as a result. Love French cuisine. Set menus are the best. Would suggest offering carafes of wine too! Half carafe would have done us, rather than a glass or having a whole bottle
