One of the best family meals ever and also an amazing value for money. Chateaubriand was just perfect as well as the salads, the side dishes and children meals. The waiter was wonderfully attentive and the overall service and ambience was superb. We will certainly be back!

the tables were well spaced and using the closed off street gave us a chance to enjoy the sunshine without the traffic noise and fumes. The staff were very friendly and attentive. As always the food was excellent .It was altogether a vey enjoyable meal and we will defiantly return.Thank you Cotes for opening up again....Wonderful.

Eating at Cote St Martins Lane is a reassuringly safe and comforting treat right now. Carefully managed seating arrangements, excellent hygiene regulations and plenty of hand sanitiser around should you feel the need, the kind and friendly staff are meticulously trained to allow you to relax and enjoy fabulous food and wine in the cleanest and cosiest surroundings. It's a little haven of rest in an otherwise agitated London. Book now!

The restaurant was virtually empty so lacked the vibe of a usual meal at Cote but the place looked as welcoming as ever - candles lit at every table, even downstairs I noticed when I went to the loo - and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. Two small criticisms about the food. I had the pork tenderloin which was advertised as coming with a celeriac purée. As a result I ordered frites on the side. The purée was, in fact, more potato than celeriac and I would have done better with a green vegetable on the side. Secondly, something was over salted as I’ve been drinking cups of tea ever since my visit!

When I booked the table I thought that two new fig cocktails were complimentary. As my wife does not like figs we only had one and that was charged for on the bill. Was this a mistake or did I get it wrong? The goats cheese salad had vegetables that were steamed not roasted. Serving it in a bowl meant that the dressing was at the bottom of the bowl and not on the food. The bowl also made it difficult to eat. My wife turned it out on to a plate which did not help the presentation but made it much easier to eat. It tasted fine but she would have prefered proper roasted veg as described.

What a treat to eat at Cote St Martin's Lane yesterday. Easily the warmest welcome in London, followed by swift service, friendly and helpful staff all paying close attention to cleaning and distancing protocols. This all helps you to relax and feel safe and well cared-for. We enjoyed a delicious lunch with the freshest ingredients cooked to perfection, and savoured a terrific (yet not expensive) glass of champagne. The overall value for money is great. We'll be back as soon as we can....

We went for an early dinner midweek, and although the restaurant was quite empty when we arrived the staff made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious. Best smoked salmon I have had. Very good thin plat rapide steak with thin crispy chips and perfect green salad. Good wines by the glass and quick and efficient service. What we had thought of as a quick efficient meal turned into a huge treat!

I could not fault the warm welcome and attentive service. All the current Covid-19 regulations were adhered to with the minimum of fuss. The food was delicious and the complementary Rhubarb Martini aperitif much appreciated - will definitely order one of those again!

The decor was back to it's usual high standard the tables were sufficiently far apart for social distancing and the staff were their usual pleasant and helpful selves. The food was again, as usual, excellent and our meal was most enjoyable. The sadness was the emptiness brought about by the covid regulations. We are used to seeing the restaurant full and busy at 6.00 on Sunday evenings, when we normally visit. We very much hope you will be able to make the limited seating work and survive this dreadful situation and wish you every success. The musak did get a bit loud and intrusive at times.

Over the moon to be able to have lunch at St Martin’s Lane after six months waiting. We got the warmest welcome, observed thoughtful and careful safety procedures and are the most delicious food for a most affordable price. Easily the best restaurant with the best team. We’d never go anywhere else!

Excellent service! Waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was well executed and taste amazing! Coffee was also very pleasant, loved the fact it was served in a glass mug. Slight draft from the air vents which made us feel a bit chilly but the customers next to us also found this and the waitress kindly put the heating on for them! Aside from this it was a lovely experience and i think sitting elsewhere in the restaurant would have made for a much more pleasurable experience. Would definitely be going again!
