Really lovely experience. The food was delicious, and we were all more than happy with our various choices in each course which we felt were good value for money. The service was wonderful, efficient but very friendly. The ambience was lovely and we could happily hold a conversation without difficulty hearing one another. Would certainly recommend your restaurant.

Delightful feeling of a "family run" business: personable, friendly, good food etc. But it is a chain. Noise level probably better than most. Attentive staff

The staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating for our group which were celebrating a 70th birthday. We were positioned right by the door and close to the accessible toilet which was very considerate given we had a wheelchair user in the group. The rendition of 'Happy Birthday' was also a very nice touch!

Took our brother in law here for a meal to celebrate his 70th birthday. The staff were extremely attentive and made us feel special. They even sang Happy Birthday to him. We have visited a number of other Cotes but this was our first visit here, very useful if you are going to the Royal Festival Hall like us.

The customer service was excellent. The food was very good! We had a meal voucher that was given to us previously by the restaurant and the meal ended up being a few pounds over the amount of the voucher - the manager came and told us it was fine and we didn't have to reconcile anything. I was truly pleased!

A lovely table for two for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant is delightful, the food was impeccable and the service was absolutely perfect. We had such a lovely time I can't wait to go back. Crab mayonnaise was bursting with flavour,steak frites cooked to perfection, tarte au citron very zingy. Highly recommended.

Very bad service. Food was mediocre. We were made to wait 20 mins after our reservation time for a table and we were almost late to a concert at Southbank Centre as a result of this.

Superb service, excellent food and décor, great value set pre-theatre menu. My gluten-free main course was a little delayed because of the care taken in preparation, and they too it upon themselves to reduced the bill. Our second time dining experience with this chain (the first was at Covent Garden) and once again, I would recommend and will dine with Côte Brasserie again.

Lovely food and service, the only issue I had , which probably cannot be helped is that the staff walked through the restaurant with bins. These were covered , but I felt it was also inconvenient for the staff

pleased to be in Cote again as ours in Camden Parkway closed recently & we miss it a lot as many of us locally went there frequently. The food yesterday was really good as it always is except that the potatoes weren't quite cooked. We were given a generous discount off our bill for this however. Apart from that, the only issue was the noise level which makes conversation difficult. I'm not sure how you can address this but more sound absorbent surfaces might help?

Although we have enjoyed other branches of your restaurant in the past, and particularly the chicken, the three of us that ate this found it to be heavily overcooked, hard and dry, rather than the moist tasty chicken we have previously eaten. Although useful when we go to theatre in the area, we suspect we will not be returning.

A very pleasant dinner after a concert at the South Bank. We had the February Cocktail and a Kir Royale, both were very pleasant. The meal was delicious, boeuf bourguignon and lamb rump, perfectly cooked with a good selection of vegetables followed by Creme Caramel and Ice cream. Though the restaurant was quite full, it wasn't too noisy and we were able to carry on a conversation without a problem. The service was very good and helpful and very prompt. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Have visited various Cote establishments in London and the South, always receiving good service and delicious dishes. This was no exception, despite raucous neighbours the staff ensured that, nonetheless, our experience was a pleasurable one.

Had an excellent meal. The service was good and the waiter was very helpful. This is an informal place to eat good food. Somewhat noisy but that's because this restaurant is very busy and obviously successful.

Service was excellent but the food was not great. Especially the veggie main - butternut squash cake. Didn’t taste of anything and the egg on top was tasteless and didn’t really go. Bit disappointing as their breakfasts are always very good

Lovely food, great service, and very patient with all the kids in there (including ours!). We’ve eaten in a few different Côtes (love the set menus) and this was by far thr best food - my mum raved about the pork for the rest of the day and wants to thank the chef!

We book Cote because it's always good. Our experience last night was again excellent. Great, fast service and delicious food. I nearly always choose the French onion soup because I love it. My seafood linguine was good and my creme caramel was to die for. Our wine was also good.
