"My husband and I booked a table here for our anniversary. Venue and atmosphere are both lovely. I stuck to the same cocktail and my husband sampled a couple. All very nice. The food however was not so great. The charcuterie board was ok but nothing special. I ordered veal which ordinarily I wouldn't but I was feeling adventurous. It smelt and tasted like roast pork which was not enjoyable, and also not how it should taste. Also a couple of the potatoes I got with it where rotten. My husband ordered the chicken which was essentially a large chicken Kiev. We both tried each others food but neither of us enjoyed it and I'm not a fussy eater. We shared a dessert which was the baked cheesecake and that was very nice. I would recommend coming here for drinks and the atmosphere. The live music was to a high standard and the staff where friendly but I definitely would not eat here again. A lot of money spent on a very disappointing meal."

"We eat out probably 150 nights per year due to business travel. Blake’s was one of the worst dining experiences in 5 years puts it in the bottom .1% for us. We were told after we sat down that they needed the table in 1:45 minutes. Actually not a problem. We ordered and the food came so fast we felt out of breath. The food was fine, not overly imaginative, but since the starters blended into the mains, who could tell the difference or judge the quality. We ordered a bottle of wine half way through the starters, the mains came out before the wine which we had to cancel. We we had our mains served to us less than 30 minutes after we initially sat down and that included 10 minutes of cocktails and starters, and waiting to order. We haven’t felt less welcomed in 5 years anywhere. If you want a take out window dining experience at a supposedly fine food restaurant this is the place. Otherwise there are too many great restaurants in London to visit who will give you a great night out, so we don’t recommend wasting your short time at Blake’s."

"A good overall experience. Staff were friendly and attentive. Given 1.5hrs from 4-5:30pm on a Wednesday walk-in. Apparently it picks up during dinner time so book ahead if possible. The knock off one star was due to the dry patty in the Cote Burger (seemed like it was just reheated, definitely not made to order). Everything else was good including the Crab Maison and Duck Salad starters. The calorie counts on the menu really make you think twice if you’re on a diet. An assortment of cocktails, wines and desserts are available. Might try another Cote branch. Prix Fixe menu is well priced and probably what I’ll order next time. Bon Appétit!"

"We had a very wonderful experience there. The staff was welcoming and nice. It wasn’t busy at the time since we had an early dinner so we really had a pleasant experience. The ambience was perfection! The food tasted really good but my daughter’s cheese pasta was quite bland. The french onion was so good. You dont have to go underground to use the toilet. I will definitely be coming back for more french food!"

"I have just had lunch at this pub after an absence of about 6 years and there used to be a fantastic Thai restaurant attached to this. I came in hoping to re live old experiences. The place was deserted and it was a Friday lunch time, that should have been a clue. OMG, what an appalling disappointment. The menu was pan Asian now and I ordered 'the Korean mixed fried rice '. They were basically trying to do a Korean bibimpap. A very simple dish to put together) What was offered was ridiculous meal put together by someone who clearly does not know how to cook. It was a bowl of 'boiled rice ' jasmine with some julienned carrot and 'cucumber ' placed on top, with some pre cooked prawns from the supermarket and a bit of Kimchi and a fried egg on top practically inedible , I left most of it and told them I was really disappointed and why , they didn 't disagree and were polite but did not offer any kind of refund. The total cost of my meal was just over £15 with a small draft diet coke. terrible value for money for an almost inedible meal) avoid like the plague for the food."

"Took my mum to this restaurant in Richmond and we had a really nice evening. When we first arrived our outdoor table booking was not available but Mike very kindly sorted us out and we got the table we booked. Throughout the evening we got really great attention from the very friendly staff and they made our evening. We had the steak and fries and the ice cream from the 2 course menu. The steak is very thin and nothing special but the fries and ice cream were excellent and overall we felt it was good value for money."

"I booked originally for 6pm and had to change to 6:30pm due to traffic. I hadn’t confirmed The new booking so the host could not find a booking for us. It was my father’s birthday and I was really worried I had messed it up. The host, was fine and was still able to get us seated, we were very pleased with that. We were given a choice of tables, and as a larger guest, I was able to be seated comfortably. We’re we’re served by Tom. S ,for the evening. OMG! What a charming and delightful waiter. He was attentive, had great banter and held a wonderful conversation, wished my father a happy birthday, and tended to my wine being filled up all evening. He made us feel wonderful, and made me feel like a million dollars. The food was absolutely superb, French onion soup was perfectly seasoned, the croutons were Devine along with a salty cheese. Loaded with sweet onions: The liver parfait my husband had was delicious he said. My dad and husband had the beef bourguignon, and I had the chicken, gratin with a side of dauphinois potatoes… Again… absolutely perfect. The service here was top notch, and Tom.S made our first experience at Côte the best. He is a first class waiter, that I would compare to the the likes of The Ritz and The Savoy. Fantastic personality, and very well groomed and presented. What a fabulous and marvellous team member you have there. Cherish that! We will definitely return, and recommend this restaurant highly. 5 Service from Tom.S and the chef."

"Went for express lunch menu. 2 ordered the Mediterranean salad topped with choice of grilled chicken breast or halloumi. There was no mention anywhere that both items were an extra cost. £3.50 and £2.50 respectively. Waiter wasn’t much help when we queried it and sadly we refused to pay the service charge, which he also queried despite it being “optional”. First time we’ve had an issue."
"Met for a late lunch with a friend before visiting the National Theatre. We had the set menu from which we chose the salad, steak frites and the cheeseboard. All very tasty, and excellent value for the set menu. We had a bottle of the Provence Rose which was lovely and cold. Great choice if you are in the Southbank area"

"Hi there, I am sadly writing you this email in regards to a complaint I will be making. Today (23.9.23) around 11am I have come with a friend to meet for breakfast, unfortunately we witnessed some racial comments from a member of your staff, this was a young boy, with brown hair with curls at the front, we were completely flabbergasted with what we witnessed. Your staff members said very loudly in font of other costumers” this is not the Indian cuisine” and laughed with this college, as a man of Asian heritage came in and walked out again. And shortly after he came back in with his family your staff member, then laughed. I am really disappointed with this and I do not stand for racism. How can I take this further? My email has still not been answered"

"My wife and I took my wife’s 95-year-old Mum out to lunch. As always at Cote the staff were attentive and kind and the food was delicious. We’ve noticed recently that the superb value of the past at Cote has started to come under a bit of pressure and that’s a shame, but that seems to be the way of the world! We paid just over £30 a head for two courses, with soft drinks and coffee all round. Not bad, but we may forget the coffees next time! Thank you Cote…another lovely meal."

"Before anything the tables are greedily close together so it’s like you’re sat next to the table next to you. They’re also tiny. We couldn’t have a starter and a drink. Even the person who hosted us commented that the tables are small (we hadn’t said a thing) and they worked there. The food: my mum had a chicken dish and I had a vegan burger. The food came up and my burger and chips were cold. So I asked them to please be reheated. They returned cold. Before I’d stated it wasn’t the most appealing looking dish but by now plenty of time had passed and I’d lost my appetite so I sent it back. We realised that the kitchen is a weather spoons style submarine ride down a narrow flight of stairs and the people bringing the food have to wait for the people using the bathrooms to pass. Which was why my food likely got cold (my mum’s didn’t). Now the staff did waive my meal (rightly so) and our drinks (2 teas) and did offer to make something else, but I was so put off. That was decent. However they kept saying “we have a large party in tonight” and blaming it on that. If a large party books a private room in a restaurant, the restaurant know plenty of time in advance. This isn’t an acceptable reason for cold and unappealing food. Poor, wouldn’t recommend nor will I use a Cote again."

"Went for the new set menu and was very impressed! The starter was a delicious mix of lamb and chicken tikka and we were both impressed with our mains, the depth of flavour makes the curry stand out against your general takeaway curry. Great value and we'll definitely be back. Thanks xx"

"Excellent food and drink choices for party of six. Efficient but unobtrusive service by staff. Appropriate time between courses. Good to be left alone at meal's end and not rushed for bill. One minor issue: rocket served with three dishes old and tired. We have pointed this out to staff before."

"I ordered a hamburger medium rare. It came well done. I pointed it out to the waiter who claimed We can 't make it medium rare . said Why didn 't you tell me when I placed the order Waiter replied. It says so on the menu . I asked to see the menu. There was no such statement on the menu. I asked to see the manager. He said I 'm the manager . I was not offered a replacement or refund even though I had taken only one bite. The staff treat the customers like they are idiots. My daughter 's fish stew was the only redeeming feature."
"Staff were excellent but the food quality and portion sizes were questionable and not great value for money. The burger was particularly poor quality, over cooked and dry. The steaks were less than average. The mussels were excellent! A few tweaks are needed for this restaurant to be a serious contender in Worcester."

"The atmosphere was amazing. The jazz was fabulous and made the evening. We ordered our food and within less than five minutes it was delivered to our table. I would assume it was microwaved. It tasted okay but was nothing special. We ordered tart Tarim for pudding And it looked like microwaved slop on a plate. Albeit it tasted okay presentation was not good. Thank Melvin for the jazz it was wonderful."

"steak and chips was nice, the chips went cold to end, would suggest another portion method to keep them hotter longer. the service seemed a bit strange to run with eating on a tablet from the kitchen and then the tablet removed and put on the table by various waiters. the service fee is added to the bill at 12.5%, which I feel is high, but this is optional, only puts on it to remove it."
