Côte - St Martin's Lane

Our waitress made sure that our food was with us, as she was aware we were going to the theatre

Excellent pre theatre meal at a great price. The set price menus give a very good list for each course from which to choose. The wine was also good and not expensive.

Food was really good and consistent with othet Cote Braseries we have visited. Service fast. Definitely need to book after 5pm as this is a very busy restaurant.

The food was good at a reasonable price. Excellent fast and friendly service, only it was rather loud and we found it hard to keep up a conversation. No doubt we will go again . Elli

We were a party of 9 people and we have been to this branch of Côte several times before. The service and food have always been excellent, and this was no exception. It is very good value for money and a good atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff who made our lunch such an enjoyable experience.

St Martin's Lane Cote is always a pleasure to visit. The Far East Asian woman who manages it warmly greeted us, setting the tone for a fabulous a la carte experience. In total contrast to the shambles that is Cote in St Albans, where even booking for a medium party is too onerous a task for them. Recently we were promised that our request for the reservation mentioned could only be confirmed after a period of 48 hours! To compound this, Cote St Albans did not have the courtesy to contact us either way. Very unprofessional. We booked Bill's restaurant instead, where we had a good experience. Needless to say we will stick with the excellent St Martin's branch and it's marvellous staff.

Excellent value for money, great service and pleasant ambience. We ate from the pre theatre set menu, plenty of choice. Food was delicious and nicely presented.

Both meal and service were very good, despite the restaurant being very busy.

Excellent food and service . However the restaurant ,like other Côte restaurants we have been to , is far too noisy during busy periods . Consideration should be given for baffling the noise somewhat.

Definitely one of my favourite places to eat! The staff are friendly and the menu is gluten free accommodating without sacrificing flavour. Highly recommend even if dining alone

Great food great service. Enjoyed pre-theatre meal. Good value for money too. Have been here before and would definitely come cack again. The food is always hot and tasty.

No waiting, great atmosphere and good food. Enjoyed by all. We come to Cote regularly. Very reliable and always come away happy. Can't ask for much more. Tony

Tasty food, excellent service for our group of 7 people. The Breton fish stew was particularly good.

We had a table booked for 5 o'clock. No pre-theatre menu only a la carte or special mother's day menu. Started off well but a 30 minute wait between starters and mains is not acceptable; especially when no apology or explanation is offered.

From making the reservation to having the meal all the staff i encountered were very helpful and professional. we found the food to be excellent and served quickly and we had no complaints about anything, we had a very enjoyable evening and highly recommend the restaurant and the service, Thank you

Staff were very attentive, polite and efficient despite the Pre-Theatre rush. The food was lovely. Well done. It was a lovely experience after a long journey by train. Keep it up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have eaten in cote two consecutive Fridays. The first Friday we were seated upstairs and it was lovely , good food, good service Yesterday we were seated downstairs, very noisy, very hot, The menu had changed and several options were not available Excellent value none the less

Busy and buzzy pre-theatre venue but staff were efficient and friendly and the food very good. Invariably end up chatting to your neighbours and certainly not the place to go for an intimate tete a tete!

A very nice meal just before the theatre, the staff were exceptionally nice and would go again.All cotes I have been to have been of the same standard.

The staff of the Cote, with their efficient cheerfulness and charm help to create the ideal setting for a pre-theatre dinner or an after work unwinding meal with a friend or friends.

Lovely lunch, the quick service was great (and appreciated) over the business lunch time period and the tuna salad was really tasty. A good atmosphere, buzzy but not so loud we could not talk.

Saturday evening in a buzzy restaurant. The food was delicious and exactly what I expect from a French brasserie. Charming and quick service. Crab bisque+duck pate/veal chop+ribeye chips, salad, veg/plum tart/Chinon wine = £103 (US$140).

The service was bery attentive, although we were in before it got really busy. Much better service than a previous occasion we went, when the service was dreadful. The food on the whole was good, although my cod was quite dry and not as moist as it should have been. But that aside, it was all fine. Good value. The tables are rather too close together but its always been that way. Anyway, it is very handy for theatres etc and we will go back i am sure. I visit Cotes in various locations and generally they are a high standard.

It was far to busy tables were too close together and not enough serving staff. They brought the wrong drink. Disappointed

Great food, well priced. Excellent service. Only gave 4 stars and not 5 as I often find the temperature in the restaurant a little on the cold side.

Fantastic food very well priced and excellent service. Would definitely recommend especially before a show if you are time limited!

The service was excellent but the food was just about OK nothing wrong with it but not top class but I guess not top class prices. Had calamari but they were very thin and the fish parmentier had been around for a while.

Nice meal but the waitress was a bit abrupt. We had an email saying we could have a bottle of wine but wanted to check if this was with any menu. The waitress stated you have to order from this menu and snatched the other menus away quite abruptly. Besides this incident the rest of the meal was nice.

Bright and cheerful welcome and service which continued through the meal, even when the restaurant was full and staff very busy, with the pre theatre rush. Layout and tabling a good mix for different size groups. Wine and food were brought when appropriate without delay or undue haste. Food and preparation was all good quality, although the lardons had too much vinaigrette for my taste. Altogether a good experience .

I had booked a pre theatre table however we had to wait in a queue for 10 mins and only after I pushed were we seated in front of those who hadn’t booked. Our table was in the basement and was hot and cramped. Whilst service was quick and the food tasty, we had so little time following the delay to be seated that we had to rush and it was not a pleasant experience.

Excellent food and service. Just a shame they cram tables in so close together that it is always noisy.

Cote is always reliable and the food is good. The service is good although not always exceptional for the added charge. I elected to take up the offer of a free cocktail but due to misleading information from the first waitress we ended up not qualifying. So I will take future offers with a 'pinch of salt'.

Cote restaurants are always good and nothing more need be said

We visited lunchtime for pre theatre meal. It was very busy but service was quick and excellent. Food was very tasty and good value. Would definately visit again. Highly recommended.

Excellent Service, very attentive and quick. Excellent Meal Nice atmosphere but noisy.

Service from our waitress was friendly and considerate. My tuna nicoise was not up to usual standard: it was small, arrived without new potatoes in it and I'd asked for the tuna to be cooked medium but it was rare. I asked for it to be cooked a bit more and it came back medium rare. The restaurant was very busy but unless I'm offered a discount because of that the quality of the food should be the same as always. Disappointed.

Good food and good value for money. Very popular so is a bit noisy. Service quick and efficient. Recommended for pre-theatre meals both matinee and evening.

Cote's fixed menu is an excellent choice prior to a theatre trip..and this branch is excellent. Always warm and welcoming, with great service. Highlight for me is the steak frite, and we do always like the starers. It never feels like a set menu or cheap option! Wine is OK rather than great.

Varied menu, good prices, busy, bustling restaurant, can get a bit noisy at times. Food was good, great service (lovely waitress called Silvia) & overall a great experience.

Went for a 12 midday early Sunday lunch before football which started at 2;05. We both had two courses and a shared ice cream desert. It was all first class food, courteous and prompt service and good value for money. We left at 1:10 with plenty of time to get to our seats at the Emirates. Well done every one.

Very busy pre-theatre service but the staff coped well and we still had a great experience. Good food and excellent friendly service as usual. Thank you!

Service really good Food disappointing I’m a fan of cote but tonight my meal was very mediocre the chicken breast in breadcrumbs tAsteless and very dry

Have visited many Cote Brasseries and always found them excellent value for money. The high quality of the food and service has never let me down.

Excellent service - we had a superb waitress. Thank you.

Very busy at lunchtime. Noisy to the point we couldn’t converse without shouting. Tables too close together. The food is always good

Efficient service for pre theatre, essential to book. Lively spot with a good buzz and great feel about the place. Staff were on the ball & menu offers good choice for a quick bite.

All the staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. There is a wide choice of food and drink to suit everyone and the food is tasty and served at the correct temperature. Excellent meal.

Consistent quality,excellent service and great value keep us returning to cote time after time. Dont change a winning formula! Always a good choice of seasonal dishes.

Amazing service, attentive and really made the meal special, it was very busy though so quite noisy but would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Really lovely restaurant. Waitress and all staff very welcoming and helpful. Food was lovely too. Would definitely return and spend more time next time. Thank you.
