Pretty appalling really. How can you not cook a half decent steak. Not like you are giving it away, £30 fillet steaks were basically cold on arrival….back to the kitchen….back a few minutes later no different….back to the kitchen….new steak back….so quickly cooked, not rested, just bled on the plate. 100% guarantee never going back. £300 pre show meal, one course, shouldn’t have been hard. Absolutely rubbish.

Lovely Christmas decorations outside, as we approached. Warmly greeted by front of house. Offered comfortable table, which was nicely set. We mentioned we were seeing a show at WMC and staff made sure all our food arrived promptly, but leaving plenty of time to not feel rushed and finish our wine. Overall, good food, excellent wine choice and friendly staff.

Excellent meal at Cote, and although the food was great as always, the highlight was the service from Nick. It’s rare to get such personable and efficient service these days so we really appreciated the time and consideration Nick took - anticipating our needs and just the right amount of chat without being intrusive.

Hi Maria, thanks for the rating - we really appreciate it! We’ll ensure Nick and the team know just how special you made them feel! See you again soon.

We went to Cote to take an early supper, before the opera. It was excellent. We had a bottle of bordeaux wine and the prix fixe menu with steak upgarade. It was perfect. The service was faultless and it was very good value.
