Côte - St Martin's Lane

Great location, superb food, attentive staff, would recommend this restaurant to family and friends if visiting the area, only negative was bathroom downstairs and one of our party had difficulty in getting to them, apart from that a great pre - theatre meal was enjoted by all.

As always our dining experience at Cotes Brasserie st Martins Lane was excellent. We go there every time we are in London. . I am registered with Cotes on line but never seem to get any rewards!!

Wonderful food, very good service, as usual the Picpoul wine was chilled to perfection. Mackerel rillettes were very tasty. Followed by cod goujons. Then chocolate melt in the middle pudding. Delicious and excellent value for money.

Quick, efficient, tasty and very good option if you're attending the theatre in the evening. The fact that it gets so booked up is testament to it's excellent value.

Good service, food came promptly, the steak was a bit dry (consider giving us more sauce?), but the pre-theatre dinner was good value. Would come back!

Very busy and long gap between two identical starters with only passing apology when the second starter arrived a full 10 minutes after the first

The restaurant was buzzing and busy but we had booked. So we were surprised to be offered a table in totally unatmospheric basement, on our own near the loos. No other parties joined us down there throughout our meal-just folk visiting the loos and peering in on us! Our First and second choices of wine were unavailable and the service was haphazard, spoiling our celebration. Food was good but we will not be returning to this branch.

The food and service were excellent as always. The restaurant was very busy and the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation at times.

Despite slightly distracted service (and ferocious air conditioning on cold evening) food is always good at Cote, and we had convivial evening. We would go again.

We ate from the set early evening menu, which had a good choice, including steak. The food was well prepared ,and we had a great meal.

We arrived a little early, but, were seated. Very busy for pre-theatre. Staff helpful and friendly. Lovely meal. Recommend reserving a table as so near the theatres.

Very good service, reliable quality and value. Staff very pleasant, efficient and attentive. The menu has a good range of choice despite being fairly limited but this ensures fresh quality. Monthly specials are also available which extends the choice nicely.

Seated downstairs in basement , very Noisy therefore difficult to have a conversation also very stuffy as air conditioning not on/working. However staff very friendly.

The restaurant was very busy but were not rushed or pressed to order. Staff were all helpful and the food is reasonably price with a good range of side dishes. There is a range of vegetarian options.

Good service and good food as always. We had the set menu which was excellent and very good value for money. A great pre-theatre venue.

We had an excellent meal with friendly and efficient service at very reasonsble prices. The menu offers a wide choice including lighter dishes, meaning it's great for a pre-theatre meal and the pre-theatre set menu is truly a bargain. Will definitely come back.

Good food and service good value for money. Charming people working there. BUT it was so noisy we could hardly hear ourselves sspeek across the table. Can you sound proof the roof?

Excellent fare, charming, efficient service. Creme caramel the best this side of the moon. Geared for hungry, busy theatregoers with refined palates. I'll be back!!

As always, excellent food and service. The set lunch menu is very good value and there's a good choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes.

Excellent helpful service and delicious food. Perfect pre-theatre meal. We will definitely return to this restaurant when we next visit London and the West End.

Cote can be relied on to produce good quality food quickly when necessary, with friendly prompt service. Cote St. Martin's Lane is noisy but convivial and enjoyed by pre-theatre and post-theatre goers. I recommend it for convenience and reliability.

Excellent! The food was very tasty, and the staff most helpful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a good pre theatre meal. I had the grilled Sole which was great.

Having visited numerous Cote establishments this was one of the best due to the attentive and pleasant staff. The food and drink were excellent. As a compliment to the staff the cleanliness was the best we experienced during our stay in London. We look forward to future visits to Cote.

Always love Cotes de Brasserie. They never let you down. Food is always reliable and very good and the atmospher is always vibrant and jolly. Pre theatre meals are good value. Only downside is vegetarian food is very limited.

I cannot fault the experience my friend and I had. Staff were efficient, polite and appropriately attentive. The set meal was extremely good value and the restaurant understand the need for efficiency when theatre tickets have been booked. This is the second time I have used the restaurant for this purpose and I will do so again.

A very tasty pre-theatre lunch, which was served promptly. The only drawback was the ambient noise as it was very busy and the tables are quite close. However that was inevitable given the number of people having lunch.

Service was friendly, efficient and prompt. The food tasted good and was well presented. The restaurant was very popular so you need to book at busy times.

Great food, good value, but - high 12.5% gratuity automatically added to the bill. Rushed service towards the end of the booking, but good and welcoming when the restaurant was less busy.

Thank goodness we booked! An excellent pre theatre meal . Fantastic staff - amazingly busy but so attentive. You made our evening, thank you !

Good food, excellent service. I am a regular customer at Cote and always have a pleasant time. Very good reliable, value for money restaurant. Recommend.

Reliable Cote menu; efficient and friendly staff despite the very very busy pre-theatre crowd. Had been given downstairs table but this was changed at our request

Great value. Great service. We enjoyed our lunch and the wine was good too. We had two courses specked and timed very well indeed. Thanks

We went to Cotes St Martins lane prior to going to the theatre it was fantastic service .... delightful food at a reasonable price for London

As alway, the staff are polite, friendly and super efficient! Food was delicious, steak cooked to our liking and the desert ...creme broulee was seriously yummy! Thank you for keeping our table when we were runnng late.

Excellent restaurant, food great. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Lovely atmosphere when you visit after a show and no hurry for you to finish your meal.

Very good pre-theatre menu choices. The meal was just right, well cooked and the service was friendly, efficient and not too intrusive. A very popular venue.

Always a good bet pre-theatre. They know you have limited time and service it well. Quality of food always of a high standard compared to similar mid range chains.

Staff helpful and friendly. Good service despite being very busy. Good value food and will definitely go back when we visit London again for the theatre

Sadly, what started as a very pleasant late lunch turned into a fairly unpleasant experience. We asked for a different table to that which was offered and our request was amiably accommodated, thereafter our waitress was inattentive and rude. When asked for a glass of house white wine it was delivered warm and slammed on the table. Ice was requested and again it was obvious our request was of annoyance, the ice was delivered slammed on the table, the waitress leaning over one of our party's food to provide the ice. The food was of a good quality however the service was appalling. At one stage we asked for a few more minutes to decide on our desserts, after which the waitress rolled her eyes and walked off.

Busy as always, but staff really polite and efficient. Food as good as usual, with pre theatre menu excelling. Very good value whichever menu chosen.

Good bistro food, & very good value for central London. Very popular, with a queue at the door. Lots of people turned away. You must book to ensure places.

It was an excellent choice for a pre theatre dinner. The food was extremely good and the staff were very polite and helpful. Would highly recommend it.

Very busy Cote but food and service still good and up to the usual high Cote standards. The set menu is very good value for money and tasty too.

A Good choice of food and well presented. Service was excellent, quick and efficient. A good place to eat before an evening at the theatre.

As always the Cote experience was enjoyable. Good food, service and a friendly welcome. As the restaurant was very busy, we were seated downstairs where the ambience is rather lacking. So when booking I would suggest requesting an upstairs table.

An evening at the Coliseum, so an excuse to dine in our favourite restaurant. My wife says do we only go to the the theatre to eat at Cote St Martins Lane. Yes it is the best.

The food was delicious as always at Cote, fresh ingredients, freshly cooked. We were there at a very busy, pre-theatre time, so the service was a little slower than usual. It was 15 minutes before our order was taken and water arrived after the first course, which is very unusual.

Food was good chose from the a la carte menu ,husband ordered rib eye steak when it came it looked more like steak haiche which I commented on to him but have had rib eye before which can be differing shapes. When the bill came I checked it and saw we'd been charged for fillet steak told the guy who's bought the bill ,he asked who'd served us ,I pointed him out to him but he didn't do anything so was a bit annoyed especially as there was £9+ service charge on the bill,with hindsight should have said I wasn't paying it,as rib eye doesn't sound like fillet

We were given a choice of table and chose a quiet-ish area. The specials menu included really good sea bass (or was it bream?) Starter of beetroot salad refreshing and well presented. My friend had duck and liked that. Service was mostly good though erratic at times, but always pleasant and friendly and not intrusive. Wine good as usual. A very enjoyable and satisfying experience.

Excellent table by the window and friendly attentive service by staff. The lunch time menu is fabulous and my party of four all enjoyed themselves!
