Côte - St Martin's Lane

A great welcome and experience. Thank you. We will be back

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

Great food good service just a little too loud. Other than that this is our 2nd time and it was very good.

Food excellent...service friendly if a bit slow to start. Overall good experience.

Very pleasant evening. The French Onion Soup is always a winner!

We regularly use about three branches of this chain and have never been disappointed. The food is good, the staff excellent and the experience most enjoyable. We are always made to feel most welcome, please keep up the good work.

Lovely meal and good service from friendly attentive staff but it was so noisy in the restaurant that I could hardly hear anything my lunch guest had to say. The noise levels would sadly put me off coming back again.

Food was good service excellent small mistake made with starter order but free bread and olives brought out while waiting for mistake to be rectified

Another fantastic evening at Cote St Martins Lane with the warmest of welcomes, a lovely buzzy atmosphere and warm friendly and ultra efficient staff. Food was just superb and wine too! Wish we could eat here every day. Thanks St Martins Lane team!

The pre theatre menu is reasonable quality food at great prices. Service was very efficient and helpful. However the restaurant was very busy and rather noisy.

Our first visit to a Cote Brasserie and we were really impressed. The food was excellent- tasty and hot. Service was friendly and attentive, although it was very busy. Will definitely use again.

After eating in your restaurant I came down with food poisoning that very night and have been off work ever since (4 days). I will not be eating in your restaurant ever again. I cannot categorically state it was as a result of your food that I became ill but I will not be taking the chance again.

Lively and bustling restaurant with young and attentive staff. A little noisy at peak periods but to be expected. Good choice before theatre/opera attendance.

Lovely food and friendly service, in a great location. I would definitely recommend Cote to my friends, as my dining experience there has always been pleasurable.

Great service with a smile, excellent value for money, and lovely tasty food. Would advise to book as very busy. Would definitely return for a pre theatre meal.

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.

Fabulous steak - really tasty! Excellent value as part of the 3 course pre theatre show set menu. Would definately recommend St Martin's Lane venue - very relaxed vibrant atmosphere with friendly service.

Exceptional service. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant we were looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The food was exquisite. The waitress was exemplary and made us feel very comfortable. I have not had a better experience in a restaurant and I frequent many in London. I really hope this level of service is maintained. Thank you to all at St. Martins Lane.

Great as always, never had a bad meal at Côte which ever one we’ve been to.

As always our experience at Cote in St Martin’s Lane was very enjoyable. Terrific value for money and the service was excellent. Thank you.

Bit noisy but this was the pre-theatre crowd so restaurant very full. Hard to hear what my companion was saying at ties and this not helped by the number of times the servers dropped things on the wooden floor. When that happened the noise was deafening. Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived promptly. Quite small portions but very nice. Don't like service charge to be added to the bill - I like to decide for myself if I will tip - so I asked for it to be taken off which made the waitress feel that she had done something wrong. She hadn't, she was charming and we left a tip anyway, but I would still prefer not to be forced into it.

THIS IS MY THIRD VISIT TO COTE, ON AN ANNUAL DAYTRIP TO LONDON. I COME BACK BECAUSE THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD, AND THE SERVICE FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING. I DO, HOWEVER, DISLIKE THE ADDED SERVICE CHARGE OF 12,5 %. I WOULD ALWAYS GIVE 10% ANYWAY AND IT IS EMBARASSING TO HAVE THAT TAKEN OFF THE MENU. IT IS VERY LOUD AND LIVELY, BUT IT DOESN'T STOP ME COMING BACK. I UNDERSTAND THE QUICK TURNOVER, PARTICULARLY BEFORE 7PM, BUT YESTERDAY I DID FEEL THE MEAL WAS RUSHED. BUT I THINK THE POSITIVES OUTWEIGH THE NEGATIVES. THANKS TO FRONT OF HOUSE FOR TAKING MY DAUGHTER'S PHONE FOR CHARGING, WITHOUT QUESTION.

We had the set menu. Food was not good - in particular the Breton chicken was dry and had a strange texture. There was a nice selection of wine though and we enjoyed our drinks.

Another superb meal! Cannot fault the ambiance, service or food (love the food)! Consistently good every time!

We always use one of the Cote restaurants pre theatre and were very happy with our service this evening. A very busy restaurant but we did not feel rushed and our waitress was attentive and very polite.

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!

My wife and I enjoyed excellent food and service. The new April menu was great. We will definitely choose Cote Brasserie next time we are in n town.

Cote's high standard can always be relied upon. We received a warm welcome. The service was good and so was the food and the atmosphere was excellent. It was rather noisy but that was only because it was full of people enjoying their lunch.

Very nice evening, great food and very good service - recommended

Very good food; attractive, buzzy ambience and really wonderful, warm and impressively professional service from Olivia, for whom nothing was too much trouble, including going out briefly to get mint sauce from a local shop. Recently a staff member at the London Bridge branch said, " ...everybody's been asking for mint sauce with lamb." So please save Olivia the trouble- not very French, I know, but a reasonable expectation if you serve lamb in England. Otherwise full marks- thank you!

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.

The food is always good and excellent value for money. Unfortunately today I had a table at 6.15 for a pre-theatre meal and our main courses did not appear until after 7.15 (play started at 7.30). The staff were reasonably apologetic and gave us 50% discount but that did not make up for having to shovel the main course down in 5 minutes flat. Hopefully this is not a regular occurrence.

Lovely buzz, great staff. Food was good as it always is with Côte, however a little on the cool side. Maybe the distance travelled from kitchen to table!

What a fantastic time we had! 6 of us were celebrating my mum's 80th birthday on Easter Saturday and a busy restaurant did not prevent the manager and staff from spoiling her rotten and making her day. Highly commended - the personal touch in such an unlikely place. We were bowled over. Food also good, and reasonably priced. Thank you everybody

Staff new were going to theatre afterwards and attended to us very promptly and ensured we enjoyed our food and could leave in good time.

This is a buzzing restaurant which is always friendly, quick delivery of orders and very attentive. Menu is changed regularly and is always tasty with great selection.

Lovely food, warm and friendly staff, great range on the menu and particularly gluten free options. Would highly recommend.

Pre-Theatre menu very good value for London and nice food.

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.

The restaurant was very full but the service was good as was the food. The starters were excellent and the Sea bass was well cooked and tasty. Desserts too were excellent.

Everything perfect thank you all. Will be back next week.

Hi Food quality very good and the creme caramel was excellent! Only negative is that the main course was lukewarm. Very helpful waiter, who provided directions (using his mobile) on how to find the theatre.

We have been a few times to this restaurant and have always had wonderful service, the staff are always very pleasant and helpful. As for the food, there were 6 of us and we all throughly enjoyed our meal. We will definitely book the restaurant again.

We had a lovely lunch, with a pleasant ambience and great staff - what more could you ask for? We'd definitely recommend Cote St Martin's Lane!

Beautiful food, great service. Reliably good French cuisine beautifully prepared in a welcoming atmosphere. We were happy to bring our guests here and have dined at other Côte Brasseries (also good). We had a brilliant dinner!

We love coming to Cote. It never disappoints. The service is great, the food beautiful, waitressing staff lovely and always very welcoming. Great value for money too.

Excellent food great staff and good value for money good cocktails ......... staff could not have been more helpful - we will be back Never had a bad meal at Côte - you guys always deliver

Seated as soon as we arrived. The service was excellent. the menu was very good but i chose a monthly special the monk fish; very very good! Not too noisy but a large room
