Great meal and excellent service. We had the lunch/pre-theatre menu and the range of choices for all 3 courses were excellent. The dishes were delicious and a good and substantial amount of food for each one. I have eaten regularly at Cote but it was my companions first time and he was very impressed at the quality.

Fantastic food, a separate menu for vegans, which made the vegan in our party happy, friendly service, elegant surroundings, reasonable prices. A good booking system and no problem when we turned up with an extra person. My only problem was that it's one of countless restaurants in the capital with no carpet or anything to mute the sound of a large number of people talking in a crowded space. This means, people with hearing difficulties and even those who hear ok but (like me) are well past retirement age, have trouble hearing the waiting staff or our own family at the table. Not relaxing to have to shout and ask everyone to repeat things.

Missed 2 starters even tho we checked the order Insisted it wasn’t his fault again we had checked the order as it was taken so he defiantly knew we wanted them Very slow service Rude attitude Staff kissing and touching in other in the bar area as preping drinks Asked for fresh cream.... revived creme frechie... pointed this out was told oh we don’t do fresh cream just double cream!!!! And that from the manager surely they should know double cream is fresh cream!!!! Very disappointed we eat at Cote a lot in Leeds, Manchester, Covent Garden to name a few never at St Martins lane and will not be back

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!

As usual food choice from the different menus was good and the quality of the food was excellent. Service was good and we were comfortable on time prior to our opera visit. Only downside was placement of our table for four- just inside the door and therefore we were disturbed by the arrival/departure of other diners.

The staff were welcoming and cheerful. Service was efficient but relaxed. The boeuf bourguignon was exquisite and the desserts all looked tempting. Decided on the crème brûlée and didn't regret it. Nice clean toilets too!

Always great food, friendly and efficient service and a fun night out at Cote Brasserie! Menus change seasonally. Take advantage of their many wine and drink promotions ewhich are excellent value.

As always with Cote which we have visited many times everything was ecellent , my one let down if that is the correct word is that despite mailing the previous week to enquire if anything special could be done for a birthday no reply has ever been received .

Service good but my partner was very unimpressed with his main course. He ordered the lamb rump which was nearly £16 and consisted of only 2 very small pieces of lamb (1.5inches roun) and not that many vegetables to accompany it. We ate at 6pm but had to purchase additional food for him from a fast food company as he was hungry at 9.30pm. This disappointed me as it was my suggestion and I have always had good experiences of Côte Brasserie in the past.

Arrived for the booking @ 8. Ordered 4 bottled beers, they were warm, mentioned it to the waitress, who said they had been busy. Wasn’t apologetic, but did get us an ice bucket to cool them off. We should of been pre-warned, not served the bottles and hope we don’t notice it !
