Côte Royal Festival Hall

Extremely good as usual apart from the fact that my companion's goats cheese salad had huge chunks of vegetables which marred her enjoyment.

Really enjoyed as every time me and my girlfriend we visit ćote good food good servise.

Well looked after by the attentive staff, well fed with interesting and enjoyable selections. Just what we wanted in proximity to the Royal Festival Hall with a most pleasant ambience.

I had a very enjoyable birthday meal at Cote, the staff were charming and attentive, and the complimentary glass of Kir and the birthday desert were much appreciated. The food in between was great as well!

I go to Cote frequently. This visit was what was expected - good food, good service at reasonable prices. Will continue to go to this restaurant and recommend it

We are regular visitors to Cote and are usually very happy but sadly on this occasion our experience was disappointing. We had to wait 40 minutes for the first course to arrive by which time we were concerned that we would miss our concert. The staff were very pleasant but there were clearly problems in the kitchen. By the time we had finished the main course there was no time for desert. The waiting staff were extremely sympathetic but the whole experience was disappointing.

Good good, good value, and right there for pre-dinner for the Royal Festival Hall.

We were warmly welcomed and the service was attentive and efficient. The food was of an excellent standard and we felt it was very reasonably priced. Cote has become our restaurant of choice: we've tried branches in Fulham, Barbican and Festival hall: happy with all of them. Carry on the good work!

Excellent food, great service - will definitely back again soon! Thank you for another great dinner!

Good food, great value. Good service and overall experience! Thanks

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!

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.

Pre theatre meal on both standard and prestige menus excellent and good value for area. Quiet at 4.30 but very busy by 5.30. Staff welcoming and attentive.

Lovely complimentary cocktail on Arrival. Our waiter (Nardi?) was very intuitive to our needs and the food as always was delicious. Excellent customer experience. Well done.

Lovely intimate feeling and all staff were very attentive. We weren't rushed off our table even though we were a lot longer than 2 hours and the restaurant was very busy. The food was fantastic and such good value.

Good table in window, very helpful manager (?) who greeted us and led us to table and was aware if we wanted anything. He was particularly accommodating as we wanted something that didn't quite fit with the menus offered but he was prepared to accept our request. V good, efficient, professional service from the person who greeted us and another waiter who served us. Very pleasant experience.

Took my Son and his girlfriend for a pre-show dinner and it was their first time there. As one is a vegetarian, it was nice to see a good vegetarian menu. The food and service was good as always.

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.

Very good service and good food! The sea bass with fennel and the creme caramel especially good. Arrived early and it was no problem - felt very welcome.

Good food, first-class, friendly and efficient service in pleasant surroundings. The Côte formula is well-known and seldom disappoints and this one is excellent.

A lovely experience as I was meeting a friend for a overdue catchup, service was brillient, when asked how my meal was I commented that the Pork fat/skin was soft and not crispy, when paying the meal was deducted from the bill! I wasn't even complaining! We sat at a table by the serving/clearing area which was a bit noisey when chatting so wouldn't choose that table again but otherwise food, wine and service was great especially the creme caramel. We will certainly be going again. Also I noticed how lovely the staff were to children and babies on other tables.

Perfect place for business lunch, good food relaxed atmosphere and very quiet. Would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again. Cõte was also good value for money

Always good food and service, plenty of choice and relaxed atmosphere. ave been to several Cote restaurants and they were all consistently reliable - thank you!

A warm welcome from very friendly staff. The service was fine, except that part of our order was missing when are meals were served. The error was rectified promptly. We both ate the Breton chicken from the Prestige menu and found it a little dry. The rest of the meal was very good: honest food at a reasonable price. My only other comment was that we felt the seating downstairs was rather cramped. We have eaten at various Cote restaurants and will continue to do so.

Côte has created an offer which ticks all the boxes. The food is excellent and original and the menu has something for everyone. We usually choose one or other of the set menus and they rarely disappoint. The wine list has some very good wines at the lower end. And the service is very good. Our Romanian waiter last night was lovely. Thank you for delivering quality at a very reasonable price. 😆

I have been to a number of your restaurants and the food and service has always been excellent. Althow one of your waiters could have been a little be more frindly.

Delicious food with very good service and excellent value for money (we chose from the Prestige Menu). The restaurant was just across the path from the Royal Festival Hall, so ideal for a pre-concert dinner, but would advise booking in advance.

The food was fantastic and great value! Lovely ambience and service and great gluten free menu! The creme caramel was out of this world. Great restaurant . Recommended.

As ever an awesome dining experience, great food and service all at reasonable prices. Truly value for money.

Very good experience overall for the money. Service was excellent and friendly. Food was good without being excellent. No complaints. We had a good time before going to the BFI

Excellent food and fantastic waiter. Scenery was very good as we sat outside

Food is absolutely unbelievable! Couldn't of asked for anything better 10/10 and will definitely be going again! Staff were very friendly and attentive will be recommending to friends and family!

we go to this chain a lot because of its reliability and were not disappointed with our firrst time at the South bank venue. lovely service as well as good food, although a couple of pieces of squid in the linguine dish were rather overcooked

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.

been to this cote previously and very good food standard, bit noisy and hectic pre theatre dinner but only to be expected along the south bank at 6 pm

A very friendly welcome, great atmosphere, excellent food as usual. Highly recommend Cote restaurants, I have never been disappointed. The birthday treat of Kir Royale was very welcome and much appreciated.

Cote lost the plot on this occasion, fortunately not for our table. The lunch interval for the Festival Hall was 12.30'till 2pm and the kitchen could not cope with demand. I felt sorry for those who had to abandon their meal or had none at all. Our waiter who came f rom Chicago was excellent. Maybe next year things will be improved. We have dined at Cote on many occasions in many places; some good some not so good; Guildford is definitely our favourite - it's all down to staff training.

We had a good meal from the current set menu while we were waiting for a concert in the RFH. The food and wine were excellent and the staff friendly. Only negative was a slightly worrying tardy delivery of our main course but fortunately we had left plenty of time. Enjoyed being on the covered terrace with blankets round our knees, by choice.

Excellent meal. Service faultless. Food and drink excellent especially the Rhubarb Martini. Very enjoyable.

Our pre-theatre lunch at Cote was enjoyable and very hospitably served by all staff. As a coeliac I was impressed by the range of gluten-free options on the menu and I ate with confidence as my food was served with clear labels to identify its dietary style.

Appalled at level of service. After half an hour no starter so left. Wine not charged for. Manager apologetic. Wanted to give us vouchers to use at another cote restautant.

I always enjoy coming to Cotes Brassiere, I love the food, ambience and the service is always good. Its in a great location, close to concert halls, theatre, cinema and bars.

Good food, good price, good service ! A great lunch place on the busy South Bank to go for catch ups with friends ! I would recommend.

Food was excellent and staff were friendly and attentive. It was my first visit to this branch and it was definitely up to the usual high standards of Cote

A very pleasant evening with great service and delicious food. The atmosphere here is always a real buzz and you can see why it's so popular. Thank you!

The service was terrible. We ordered our food at 10 pm, the mains didn’t come in till 11 pm. The chips were cold, the whole experience was awful

Lovely food, fab location and the price fix menu is excellent value. Plus, the acoustics are always good at Cote which is important to me as I hate sitting in noisy, brash surroundings that seem the current trend. I keep going back, but book a table as it popular and gets busy

Second time here for my pre concert meal, excellent service and personnel! Definitely coming again to dine before my concerts !

Food fair. Used to be good, but like so many other chains, expand too much and quality does not stay at same standard. Fried zucchini was great; would not order grilled chicken with sardelaise again - and I've had sardelaise potatoes in France, where they were scrumptious.

Excellent food and service. Great value for a South Bank evening out
