    We often visit this branch of Cote. Service and quality of food/drink is always very good. Service, too, is consistently excellent. Well done ✨️

    Pre theatre dinning. Efficient and polite service. Good quality and flavoursome food over 3 courses for two people with wine. Will return.

    The usual Cote - decent but not impressive food and service.

    A lovely warm welcome from MD Natasha and her team, who made us very comfortable. Very professional, personable, warm and very attentive. Consistently good food, professional service, and great atmosphere. First class. Thank you.

    The service was really bad - they need to train their waiters a bit better. I had to ask for tap water 3 times and and then in the end order off a different waiter. When I asked for ketchup and mayo, they arrived messily squirted on to the same side plate instead of in ramekins. That has never happened to me before in a restaurant!

    A busy restaurant conveniently located at the side of the Royal Festival Hall. Very lively, with two seating areas. Staff attentive. Food good. Avoid the tables for two people close to the entrance door if it is cold outside, as you will be sitting in a draft. This cannot be helped, but is something to be aware of
