Côte - St Martin's Lane

I use this chain a lot and last night our steak was very disappointing :( it's the first time we've had guests with us that didn't enjoy their mains, steak was gristle and quite tough (Very unusual for one) maybe they were having an off night! Waitress did give our friend an extra scoop of ice cream but wasn't quite the same

Lovely meal offering good quality and superb value. We were served by an excellent, professional team who provided great customer service during an extremely busy pre-theatre sitting. Wonderful both to experience and observe! Many thanks.

Food was reliably good as always. Only problem was the very long wait before we had water and drinks - about 30 minutes. It felt just a little chaotic as maybe the waitress was new?

Efficient service for pre theatre, essential to book. Lively spot with a good buzz and great feel about the place. Staff were on the ball & menu offers good choice for a quick bite.

very good value for money and excellent service during the evening. I would certainly recommend this to anybody and the fixed price menu is great value also.

We eat here often as the whole experience is always perfect with attentive staff and the choices on all the menus makes it difficult to choose from

Always good quality food and brilliant service. We had booked for 6p.m. but arrived quite early but still we were found a nice table in the window. We enjoyed it very much.

Overall very good, but the tables were very close together and it felt a little cramped. The noise level was high but this was probably because it was full. Service was excellent.

Staff excellent, food great only comment restaurant was rather hot should have had the air conditioning on.will definitely go back

Steaks are fantastic and the service is very very good

This restaurant is ideal position for theatre area Very crowded and noisy ,however good quick service by friendly staff Food came quickly and hot although portions small Tables are very close together Would I visit again most likely

Service was prompt and friendly. Efficient waitress The tables are a little cramped but I guess London is short on space

Six of us ( 3 adults & 3 children) had an early birthday celebration / pre-theatre dinner here on Saturday. The restaurant was very busy but service was excellent. Food was perfect as always. We were looked after so well by our lovely waiter , Daniele. We love this restaurant.

Good food, good atmosphere. Free Kir Royals with theatre voucher on the back of ticket envelope - do check as it works! Restaurant too hot and reluctant to open doors - they need to sort this out before summer. Menu very good, expecially the pre-theatre and lunch set menu - £12.95 for 2 courses, £14.95 for 3 courses. There is a slightly more expensive one too - all good. The French onion soup is particularly good as is the creamed spinach that goes really well with the steak and chips. A great place to go and a welcome change from Italian pasta places. Always best to book even just an hour before - by phone or online as we've been turned away a few times.

Good service, lovely food and great atmosphere. Worth booking a table as can get busy pre and post theatre!

Love Cote. Always great food and great value. Try the fish stew, you won’t regret it! Atmosphere is buzzy but not too noisy. Friendly and quick service which combined with a location in the heart of theatreland make it’s a perfect pre-show choice.

Service very good food mediocre. Fries cold the veggie option butternut and chic pea cake very small. By comparison the 2 sea bass filets was almost too much

Our party of four was given a very friendly welcome. We were given a choice of where to sit by a maitre-de whose obvious aim was to please the customer. Orders were taken promptly. The food was to a good standard which all in all made for a extremely enjoyable lunch time experience. Thank you.

What a delightful find right across from our theater engagement. Wonderful wait staff and superb cuisine. The pre-theater menu is thoughtfully conceived at two price point levels and the regular menu is enticing. The in-season asparagus dishes are a taste treat so enjoy while you can. Several dishes highlight this specialty - select them all! We will be returning for more of everything. Lively before the theater and quieter thereafter.

I booked a table while on the train to Charing Cross via the Côte website. All ready when I arrived. Ordered straight away and the delicious Beef Bourguinon was ready within a few minutes with a nice glass of House red. What more could I have asked for?!

Attentive service, food was as described and pre theatre menu worked well for us. Good location for galleries and theatres. We were pleasantly surprised and would recommend.

All the staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. There is a wide choice of food and drink to suit everyone and the food is tasty and served at the correct temperature. Excellent meal.

Consistent quality,excellent service and great value keep us returning to cote time after time. Dont change a winning formula! Always a good choice of seasonal dishes.

Very slow service, didn’t get offered a drink for 30minutes. We had to standup to get ourselves bread plates. Very rude waiter who wasn’t apologetic when the food for our table all arrived separately

as usual,an excellent experience,top rate food,superb service,and very good value.Amazing considering the place was full how they managed to serve everyone in time for theatre.A must for pretheatre dinner

Reliable tasty French classics served up efficiently in good time before the theatre.

Good Food and good service as always, a very enjoyable experience

Wide choice of food at affordable prices, especially the set menus. always a good place to eat in central London before the theatre. Am a regular customer here over several years, never disappointed.

The staff are efficient and friendly but your Kir royal and my salmon dish were mediocre. The veg were overcooked but otherwise it was quite tasty. The Kir Royale was very synthetic and when I mentioned this to the server he replaced it with a prosecco (without charge.)Overall quite satisfactory and thanks to the young man for his action. Tricia

Very friendly welcome at the door and lovely service. The Prestige A la Carte was excellent value

Amazing service, attentive and really made the meal special, it was very busy though so quite noisy but would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Good food as always and very pleasant and helpful staff. It was very busy but we were served and managed to get to our concert in time. Only problem is the noise which can prevent conversation

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

Arrived at a very busy pre theatre time, shown to our table efficiently and promptly, service was excellent, food was hot and prepared as directed. All for a fantastic price. Would throughly recommend.

Friendly and efficient service. Table a bit near serving doorway. Good steak nice and hot. Creme brulee was perfect . Would come again when we are on London.

Fabulous breakfast as usual. Very attentive and polite staff in what ever Cote you go in. Would highly recommend this one.

Really lovely restaurant. Waitress and all staff very welcoming and helpful. Food was lovely too. Would definitely return and spend more time next time. Thank you.

Thank you, we had a lovely meal and the food was excellent; the service fantastic and a lovely way to start an evening out in London.

Good good. Excellent front of house and service. One of our regular favourite places to eat in London.

Perfect light lunch before the theatre. Couldn't fault the food or service!
