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.

This restaurant is ideal for pre and post theatre. The set menu is very good value for money, when dining before seven o' clock. An un-hurried experience.

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.

Very nice staff, pleasant and not intrusive. Good table - not crammed in. My choice of starter (scallops from the specials menu) was not available, so I changed to the calamari. It was over-fried, the batter dry and not very hot. It left a lingering greasy taste. My main course, the risotto vert, had plenty of vegetable in, but was too creamy for my taste and almost stodgy. I could only eat half of it. I am a regular at a number of Cote restaurants and this is below the usual very good standard. I left disappointed.

I went to see a show which finished at 5.30 and our table was booked for 6 but Cote kindly found us a table. The food was really nice (I had the fish goujons). However I didn't like the camembert starter and neither did my sister so we told the waiter and he adjusted the bill for us. I will definitely go back there as the waiters were friendly and food was good.

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.

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.

Went for pre theatre dinner so promptness of service important. All fine on this front and food and drink more than adequate. Cote in St Martin's Lane is top of our list for pre theatre dining in that part of London. The manager is excellent

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.

Staff and restaurant were up to the regular high standard I have come to expect from Cote. We were there for nigh on three hours and everyone was kind and attentive. Food delious, especially the asparagus with the tarragon vinaigrette..be sure to book as there is aleways a rush on at the lunchtime period, but better after about 2.30.
