    Undercooked, stringy and gristle-laden rib eye steak for £29. Limited bar options. Slow, ponderous service. Never again.

    We often dine at the different Cote branches. However, this time was somewhat of a disappointment as we waited for our main courses for more than half an hour! This was particularly stressful and unpleasant as we had tickets for a show at the Barbican, so our dinner experience was ruined. Otherwise, most of the food was tasty and reasonably priced.

    The food was ok, definitely not as good as it used to be. The truffle fries didn’t really have any truffle just oil and the steak had clearly been sitting on a heat tray

    Hi Sarah, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you’ve been left feeling disappointed with our Triple-Cooked Truffle Chips and Steak. It's 15ml of truffle oil that we add to our Frites. We hope you raised your disappointment with the manager on duty so they could check and make things right for you. In the spirit of ever-improving, we'll use your comments constructively, and we hope you will visit us again soon.

    We had a nice dinner there. It was quite busy but the service was fast and efficient. We had crab maison and calamari for starters. The crab was very good but the calamari was quite oily. The main course, tuna nicoise and vegan burger were very good.

    Hi Reiko, thank you for the wonderful feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. So sorry to hear that you were a little disappointed with the calamari, but really pleased you had a good time overall. We hope you come back again soon!

    Poor service in that a) they brought my main course out while I was still eating my starter then brought it back after I finished the starter having, it seemed, simply put it in the microwave, b) brought me the wrong wine I’d ordered and then sought to argue they had brought the correct wine and c) never brought more water after I’d run out of the carafe of tap water I was first given in a restaurant that was about a quarter full.

    As always an excellent meal for one. This is opposite my hotel and very convenient and the Prix fixe menu is not bad value at all. Attentive service
