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.

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.
