Côte - St Martin's Lane

The staff member who served us was great and kept her cool with a smile, under stressful and very not conditions. She was Efficient and friendly.

Went for pre-theatre menu. Was a bit worried about time. But they were very good and food was on the table quickly after ordering despite very busy. Food was nice and good value. Will go again.

Good food and efficient service for a very busy branch of Cote. Well situated for those visiting the theatres as several are no more than five minutes walk away. Would always recommend that you book in advance

Food was very nice staff helpful but at time distracted, problem was the air conditioning culd not cope and I would expect better in the west end of London

A reliable choice in central London, consistent in terms of value, service, and quality. The lunch/pre-theatre set menu is a particularly good value. Would gladly dine there again.

Good food and good value. Service is friendly A very good house white wine Best to book at busy times and ask for a table at the front as it is very noisy at the back Our favourite West end restaurant

Great welcome, speedy service, excellent food and good value. The pre-theatre menu is always a winner and presents a good variety of food at a great price. The staff at Cote are always attentive and friendly without being intrusive - love this restaurant

Food and service excellent as always. I have never had a bad meal here. If going on the weekend do make a booking it does get very busy.

Bustling restaurant, packed to the gills. Great value/choice on pretheatre menu. Speedy service, piping hot, tasty food. Only niggle: bill included charge for complimentary drinks

Our first visit to one of your chain of restaurants and we loved the experience. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and very polite. The food was superb, hot and delicious. We would recommend your restaurants to our friends.

The Cote Brassiere has a welcoming relaxed atmosphere. The choice of dishes is wide and varied and very appealing. The staff are courteous and friendly an enjoyable dining experience.

The reception and service were very good. The menu choice was fine. Speed was right. The food served was very good. I should be happy to return and also to recommend the restuarant. However I must comment that the room was very noisy and if that number of diners is to be accommodated decently the low ceiling needs to be treated to absorb noise. One expects a happy buzz in a decent restaurant but one does not expect to have difficulty in hearing people at the same table because of the general noise level.

Booked a table for 6:30. Very busy on Wednesday night. Tomato salad as starter was a bit boring and very small quantity. Omelette as main wasn't exciting either. Had a bottle of white wine as it was a hot evening. The waiter knew we needed a bottle cooler, but just ignored our request until we repeatedly had asked three times.

Very nice meal and good service. We will definitely visit again. If there's any criticism, it would be that there could be more space between tables.

Friendly and welcoming reception. Very busy restaurant and as usual all the staff were very at tentative and smiling. Food was brilliant , my wife and I choose different dishes each time we visit Cotes and have never been disappointed. House red was just fine and will visit this location again++

Restaurant was busy and buzzy as always. I had the fish cake, which was under-seasoned for my liking and could have done with a bit more fish and bit less potato. There were also a few bones. Overall experience was good and value for money.

The tables, especially ones for 2 people are really squashed in into the restaurant, had a negative effect on my experience. Also, we felt the waitress was really rushed off her feet- maybe hire more wait staff?

The food as usual was good and the service we received was also good. The restaurant became quite busy as it was during the lunch time but the service was still fine and we were well looked after.

Friendly efficient service. Enjoyed the menu items selected, Would not hesitate returning and recommend to others. Great ocation for proximity to Noel Coward Theatre. On St. Martin Lane.l

The Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was very good and came out in a reasonable time. even though it was very busy. Really good, happy atmosphere. Will be returning.

Food was good. So was our waitress. However we waited over 30 minutes for dessert, which we had to chase up. No explanation as to what happened.

As outstanding quality and value as ever. We come here every time we go to the theatre in London and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!

Excellent choice of food from the a la carte menu which was delicious and good service even though the restaurant was packed. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Great friendly service as always in this branch, it's always busy pre theatre but always service with a smile June menu nice recommend the seabass

Very attentive service and excellent food. Will come again and try other locations. Coped well with complicated dietary requirements. Good setting and atmosphere. Very happy

Excellent food and service. And a free Kir Royal if you're going to Book of Mormon. Really doesn't get much better than this in central London.

Nice staff but rushed off their feet. Too busy and too many tables crammed together. Not exactly a relaxing dining experience. Other branches are better.

Seated downstairs in low ceiling room directly under air con vent . System on full blowing cold air , asked to be moved told no other table was available although others were empty . Waitress offered to turn off air con which she did , this made situation more tolerable until other waiting staff turned system back on to full . This did overshadow the dining experience a great deal . Food was excellent however .

Excellent pre-theatre meal. Place was incredibly busy but service was swift, efficient and friendly. Steak frites was delicious. Amazing that it's so reasonable and good right in the heart of theatre,and.

We booked a lunchtime table for four. Always previously had a good experience at various Cote's around the country. Unfortunately today wasn't one of them. 3 of us ordered the steak frites - all 3 were tough as old boots. It gives me little confidence in ordering steak there on future occasions. My wife, who had the sea bream, was delighted with hers though. Staff were quick and polite as always. Thank you.

Good food from an extensive French themed menu, pre theatre deal and a specials menu, efficient quick service and reasonably priced. Ideal for a pre theatre meal

Lovely pre theatre lunch. Booked in advance. Two courses £12.50. It was good value and included a free kir royale, as going to a show.

Always good. Never been to St Martins lane but equally good. No hesitation ever to go there. Not too keen on the tuna starter but it was ok. Thanks again for a lovely evening with good staff.

The food was delicious, well prepared and presented. Despite being full and extremely busy, the staff were very efficient and pleasant, ensuring that the order was taken and brought promptly. The restaurant was clean and the decor stylish and tasteful. The pre-theatre menu was diverse and very well priced. I would recommend this Cote most highly and would return again.

This restaurant is in a good location for most theatres. It has a fantadtic pre theatre menu. Great value and excellent service from all staff.

very nice atmosphere very clean toilets great food at a good fair price the waiting staff very helpful good wine at a fair price its a great place to visit

service very slow , only 3 out of 4 starters arrived ...... not as good as usual . it was the end of the evening but it should still be better than this .

I am a regular visitor to this restaurant and the food is always beautiful and the service is very good. Shame the tip is automatically added at 12%

The food was tasty and comforting, atmosphere was good. Just would have been nice if there wasn't a mouse running round our feet all evening.

Really had a lovely set meal all three course with my friend after visiting an exhibition. The food was excellent and service really appropriately attentive.

Staters were good - French onion soup was tasty, the stock being very good. Also, black pudding with poached egg, apple and salad went down well. Sadly, the mains did not match the quality of the starters. The fish pie had "yellow" cheese on top, the flavour of which totally overpowered the fish. The half chicken was extremely dry and needed the Provençal sauce which we had purchased. Overall experience, a "curate's egg" - good in parts.

Very busy so felt neglected at times. Also poor located table meant those waiting for a table were hovering over us. Other than that, food excellent as always and staff friendly.

Missed reservation due to going to the other Cote near Covent Garden by mistake. The manager was really helpful and accommodating and managed to find us a table. The food and the service were both excellent.

I had a meal by myself but did not feel uncomfortable as friendly staff. Meal was fantastic and I would recommend to friends that dine alone.

Excellent food and service as usual. The steak and the sea bream, particularly good The busy pre theatre atmosphere makes this a charming venue cheers

Not as good as usual, had to remind the staff re my main course. Side salad was not worth he extra £2.50. Waitress did apologise for the delay

Very busy pre theatre crowd, therefore not much room between tables. Food excellent. Had the crab starter, then the chicken, ordered with an additional side of fries. Husband had asparagus soup, with side order of bread, followed by the omelette which he said was the best he had eaten for a while. Complimentary water. Staff very professional, 12.5% service charge added to the bill, but very obvious it was there. Would eat there again. Very close to theatre land.

Our first visit to a Cote Brasserie, and we were very pleasantly surprised. The menu choice was good, food was tasty, portions just right and the service was excellent. On top of everything, the value for money is very good, especially if you eat off the pre-theatre menu. We will definitely be back!

Excellent, food, great value for money and very pleasant and speedy service. I am rarely disappointed in Cote and would happily recommend this branch and will return.

Had the pre-theatre menu. Cod goujons - 5 small pieces of fish - more batter than anything. Smaller portion of chips than in the Cote I usually go to. Person who showed us to table not too pleased when we asked to sit somewhere else. Stayed where we were shown to, tables so close together it had to be moved to allow me to squeeze onto the banquet (I am not huge). Service of food was efficient and friendly.
