We had an excellent meal and our waiter was very pleasant and attentive. ( Would have given a 6 but the lettuce could have been crisper.)

Food was nice and the environment was good. Staff was friendly but was a bit short-staffed. Close to tourist attractions making it convenient for us to get there.

Very good food and service. Staff very friendly. We were not rushed at all which we appreciated. We sat downstairs which was rather hot and stuffy.

The food was seriously good and excellent value. Lovely welcome but we chose to eat downstairs. Unfortunately there were two large parties which made it very noisy and also very hot! Staff worked very hard and kept calm. We will return .

Come here quite often, usually with overseas visitors (I'm a private tour guide). This place is generally very good; certainly my clients were very happy with the food and the service.

An excellent dining experience. The cuisine is authentically French, well cooked, prepared and presented. The wine list has been carefully compiled and the prices are quite reasonable for the central city location. The service from our Hungarian and Spanish waitresses was exemplary.

The service really was extremely poor with long waiting times, poorly trained staff and lack of attention to detail. This is a pity because we have very much enjoyed our visits to this restaurant in the past. For some reason the standards really seem to be slipping. It was very noisy as well. Overall disappointing.

Although it was a busy lunchtime the service was extremely slow considering we ordered off of a set menu. Despite the slow service, our food was very nice and would recommend.

The service is very good with staff being attentive but not intrusive. The food is of a good quality and at a reasonable price considering you are eating in the heart of London. I have used this branch of Cote for about 6 years (usually 8-10 times a year) and I would recommend it to anybody.

Good food. But the two times that I’ve been here for mid-week lunch, the service has been slow. There doesn’t seem to be enough servers, so ordering and getting the bill took a while.

Service was good. Starters were nice but unfortunately the main courses were not great which is unusual for Cote. Maybe a bad night in the kitchen !

Food was mediocre. Calamari was greasy. Ribeye steak was chewy and tasteless. Desert was appalling. Service was great though. Waste of money. Do not recommend.

I was disappointed. Having enjoyed this restaurant on many occasions, I found that the service was not as good as usual and the ambience was very noisy. There were three of us and we had to keep asking each other to repeat things because we couldn’t hear each other’s voices. Overall I had the impression that the restaurant was in danger of going downmarket.

Food was as expected and a varied menu. Service was slow but once in the system service very good and not hasseled. Was unaware that if service charge on bill was paid as part of a card payment staff did not receive it. Paid full bill including service in cash as a result. Would visit again.

A stalwart brasserie for me. I come regularly for client lunches and the standard of food and service are consistently high. Steak Tartare followed by a Sirloin steak makes it easy to stick to my low Carb Diet!

A very pleasant, unhurried lunch in the air-conditioned comfort of this charming restaurant just a step from St Paul's. The service was good, and the food excellent value, especially the lunch menu, featuring a superb ratatouille starter and a delicious plaice and mash main.

Cote is always a great meeting place to catch-up with friends or colleagues. The service on this occasion was rather disappointing - I'm not sure the waiter wanted to be there. The food and wine didn't disappoint and the ambience was great. The level of service just put a bit of a down on the meal.

The service was appalling and horrifically slow. We had to cancel one course as it took over an hour to get two courses, and that was with persistent attempts to get the food quicker. Do not eat here if you require a business lunch.

I was one of a party of four. All our meals were served together, which was fine, but my food was cold. I assumed it had been cooked first and left lying around. I reported the issue to the manager, who arranged for a replacement, which arrived without any further problem. The matter was further resolved by my not being charged - thank you. Tip: hot dishes should also be served on HOT plates.
