Côte - St Martin's Lane

Food was good, service very good, would have liked a little more space between tables so that we didn't feel included in our neighbours conversations!

great mushroom crepe but creme brulee although tasting delicious had a cold burnt top. They took it away and brought me a different one and the brulee was hot but so was the underneath which just tasted of warm custard.

A well positioned restaurant within easy distance of theatres near Trafalgar Square. Good and quick service, and a sensible fixed price menu. Tasty food and friendly staff. Definitely worth considering.

Staff and restaurant were up to the regular high standard I have come to expect from Cote. We were there for nigh on three hours and everyone was kind and attentive. Food delious, especially the asparagus with the tarragon vinaigrette..be sure to book as there is aleways a rush on at the lunchtime period, but better after about 2.30.

Lovely atmosphere and food great. Will go again. All complaints were dealt with and put right immediately by the manager i assume who was a great young lady.

Pleasant staff, good service and delicious food. What more can I say to fill 25 words. It's content not quantity that matters as they say less is more!

Great food. Restaurant was very busy - practically every table occupied - so service was a little slow due to an apparent shortage of staff. Usually I would give 5 stars to St Martin's Lane as we regularly dine there and never have a bad meal. The pre-theatre menu is very reasonably priced and offers plenty of choice of top quality starters and mains.

Decent food at reasonable prices but the portions seem to be getting smaller and the service is very slow because the restaurant crams so many people in.

Food excellent. We came at pre theatre time and had some delays for which our waitress apologised. Hectic but the staff worked very hard to get everyone through. Will return but plan better.

Good food; friendly staff. The service was mostly good, but a small criticism in that it could have been a little more attentive. Will definitely visit again.

Go0d. but service a bit slow.. maybe because it was very busy with pre theatre crowd . Food up to the usual standard. Will go again .

Good food, reasonably priced. Menu choices are interesting without being overly fancy or pretentious. Waiting staff were attentive and personable but not overbearing or intrusive.

Booking was easy,and at Cote you get what it says on the tin. There is a consistency of menus, quality of food and service. Just perfect for a Pre theatre meal. Could ask for nothing else.

Truly quality food at reasonable prices for the West End, lovely scallops and steak tartare starters and sea bass and haddock for mains, plus a apple tart with 2 spoons to finish. Very friendly and efficient service. Thank you

Food was good. Service was good and staff were very professional. We were made to feel welcome and had a good evening will definitely go back

Very tasty food, good service and excellent value. My main of chicken and couscous was delicious. Do book though as they tend to get very busy.

Having booked tickets to see Carousel at the Coliseum, your restaurant was the ideal place to enjoy a pre theatre luncheon. Having visited you previously we were not disappointed. Excellent service, good food at a reasonable price

Food was excellent. Although it was busy we didn't feel rushed at all. Staff were very friendly and I would definitely go again. So pleased we booked it.

Service and food excellent. Tables a little too close together. Restaurant overall a little too noisy (pre-matinee theatre crowd); shows the restaurant is popular and doing the basics right.

Very busy from 5.30 to 7.30 then eases off. Great food. Staff work really hard in this manic eating house. Tables, loos clean. I know most eating places in London slap on a 12.5% charge, but I do not advocate this assumed imposition. I believe we should be free to reward good service as we feel appropriate, and restaurants, especially chains, should all pay a living wage.

Very good deal for a lunch. High quality food, good location and nice staff. Also is good option for business lunch. I will certainly return.

Fabulous restaurant, fabulous service and fabulous food and wine. Lovely welcome from delightful staff who remain helpful and attentive at all times. I highly recommend a visit to Cote, St.Martins Lane

We recently enjoyed a three course lunch from the lunch and early evening menu. The menu offered plenty of choice, we were served by polite and efficient staff and we enjoyed our selection.

Staff were very attentive and friendly. A busy restaurant at lunch, but to be expected considering the location, but service was remarkably attentive. Very good for a working lunch.

Went at 4.00 ahead of the pre theatre rush and much nicer and more relaxed all round. Nice location and friendly staff. Good food as always.

This was our second visit in 5 days - so you know that it must have been good. Food and value very good. Eveyone found their meals delicious. Service was fine, albeit slow because they are so busy. On the second occasion I watched our waiter rushing around, never having a moment to spare, even to talk to us at the table. When we went up for more more water the manager/ person in charge always seemed to anticipate with complete air of relaxation and charm. I suppose that comes with experience and why he has the job he has! But THEY ARE BUSY - so, if you are going for a theatre performance, would recommend at least 2 hours. Long queue for ladies' toilets added to the stress of having to get somewhere on time.

Friendly service with excellent food. The house wine was good value and the kirs were a good aperitif. The best chocolate mousse in the world was great to end.

Very busy and crowded from as early as five pm ---the noise levels were very high especially as the music was loud ,an interesting experience with good food spoil the by over crowding

Nice family restaurant with good service. There was a good selection on the menu and the set menu is good value. We will be back.

Brilliant lunch, great atmosphere, waiting staff were excellent. We had the Calamari starter, butterfly chicken, and chocolate fondant to finish, all were excellent! We highly recommend this St Martins Lane Brassiere.

Great place to meet friends and with good food and drinks. The price of the foods is on average and the quality is very good.

Good reception, good service and good food and wine. Good atmosphere overall with just a little problem with a noisy table nearby. Cote is impressive as normal

Very busy after 5 pm so booking highly recommended. Food very good and service friendly and prompt. Very convenient for several theatres in Strand and St Martin's Lane.

Good food - Iust say I really enjoyed the beetroot salad (it wasn't warm though) and the chicken with gratin potatoes and a cream mushroom sauce was delicious. But OMG sooo noisy in there. Don't go if you want to have a conversation!

Very good steak frites. Always like the atmosphere. The service was prompt and, given that I had a train to catch, that was very welcome.

We came early as we were going to the theatre. We were served promptly and courteously and we thought the choice on the menu more than adequate. You set a good standard. Alastair

Totally reliable food, wine and service - excellent value and always enjoyable. Post theatre and quite late but it made no difference to the friendliness and efficiency

The food was great as always but the service was a bit slow and I had to ask for correction of my bill as the complimentary drinks were added instead of being deducted.

The restaurant was very busy so the service staff seemed a bit stressed with the number of people they had to serve. Didn't help that everyone was there for at least a two course lunch. Our food arrived in good time and was very tasty.

Excellent meal. Excellent service. Good atmosphere and perfect for pre-theatre as it is perfectly located near Leicester Square and Charing X Stations. I like most Cote's and this one is no exception .

Really helpful staff. Perfect service and stunning food wouldn't change a thing would definitely come back here again. Great location for the coliseum. We had a lovely time

Excellent, personal service despite being so busy. Fixed price menu very good value. All the staff worked well as a team, not just our waiter.

Very nice food and quick efficient service by polite staff! Very busy because the food is so good so I would recommend you book in advance if visiting this lovely restaurant particularly if your going to a show! We booked for 5 which is just about right for the theatre at 7.30! Enjoy

Lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was really friendly and the food was great. Overall a good experience and I would definitely come back!

Nice restaurant. Will return again. 12.5% gratuity added to bill and marked as Optional, even though they add it before showing the Total amount. Gave them feedback that gratuity (which we didn't mind paying) should be added after the Total (food & beverage) amount but they didn't receive the feedback too kindly.

Delicious food, but the service was a bit slow and we ordered bread and it didn't come. It was a busy evening, so the staff were rushed off and distracted.

It was a very enjoyable meal, pre-theatre. It appeared to be important to book, as we saw many people turned away. Although busy, service was good.

Good food, nice wine and excellent, very obliging friendly staff. Fransico was our waiter and did an excellent job. A most enjoyable occasion. We will return.

I thought the restaurant was good. I was served promptly but without rushing. The food was enjoyable. The portion size good. The staff were good.

The table was ready, the food was up to Cote's usual standard (good), arrived quickly but we did not feel hurried. My only reservation is that the tables are very close together - I know why, but I would prefer a little more space.
