Côte - St Martin's Lane

Excellent value for money, great service and pleasant ambience. We ate from the pre theatre set menu, plenty of choice. Food was delicious and nicely presented.

The restaurant was very loud, very hard to have a conversation. The waitress was also keen to push the may offer of martinis but did not explain that we then wouldnt be able to eat off the menu. Food was ok, slightly over cooked- asparagus and the steak were way over done. Not my favourite meal at cote which was a shame as it was my birthday! Waitress was attentive but seemed hurried as all were catering to the large (and very loud) group next to us

You might have got a 6 star rating had the website though which I made the booking has been clearer about where you were booking. Having the London restaurants dotted throughout the alphabetic listing of the UK made it hard to find the one I wanted. The food was great and good value and the serving staff delightful.

Lovely, plesent, friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food. Very quick service, was plesently surprised. Was quite busy and noisy but it was a Friday evening so that is to be expected.

Visited on a Friday for pre theatre meal. Glad I had booked in advance as they were extremely busy but despite this the service and food were very good. I had the set 3 course meal which was good value. Only negative was our table was right by the street door and people were hovering around us whilst they waited for their table and a cold breeze every time the door opened.

We had the set menu. Food was not good - in particular the Breton chicken was dry and had a strange texture. There was a nice selection of wine though and we enjoyed our drinks.

From making the reservation to having the meal all the staff i encountered were very helpful and professional. we found the food to be excellent and served quickly and we had no complaints about anything, we had a very enjoyable evening and highly recommend the restaurant and the service, Thank you

The food was excellent but the table was not ready at the 7pm booking time and consequently the staff refused to allow our group to order from the set menu that had been agreed when the booking was made, despite the delay being the fault of the restaurant and not our group Eating a la carte doubled the price and this sharp practice is poor and will not encourage any of the 6 of us to return again

Staff were very attentive, polite and efficient despite the Pre-Theatre rush. The food was lovely. Well done. It was a lovely experience after a long journey by train. Keep it up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good service from the waiters and good food and wine served without having to wait too long and the price was acceptable for a pre-theatre meal.

Another superb meal! Cannot fault the ambiance, service or food (love the food)! Consistently good every time!

Lovely food and Amy a great waitress . All the staff were very pleasant and a very buzzy atmosphere. The food was beautifully cooked and delicious .a very nice pre theatre experience

My mussels were not up to cote standards 4 empty and juice cold . Cheltenham’s recently were excellent . First time bad course in Cote.

The food was excellent, service friendly but somewhat slow. Had to leave I a hurry to make it to the theatre. Tea arrived too late to enjoy,

I have eaten in cote two consecutive Fridays. The first Friday we were seated upstairs and it was lovely , good food, good service Yesterday we were seated downstairs, very noisy, very hot, The menu had changed and several options were not available Excellent value none the less

Busy and buzzy pre-theatre venue but staff were efficient and friendly and the food very good. Invariably end up chatting to your neighbours and certainly not the place to go for an intimate tete a tete!

We all had good food and the service was, as usual, very friendly and helpful, without being intrusive. My guests and I all agreed that it was a really enjoyable experience.

Such friendly helpful staff who always serve us well and efficiently for pre-theatre meal. Wide choice of food and drink with excellent vegetarian choices. Highly recommended.

At first, The team could not find our booking which include complimentary drinks. The service team then stated you can only have the complimentary drinks if you chose from the ala cartel menu. 4 bottles of wine and six meals later. The service team still made an issue of cocktails and grudgingly gave the drinks

A very nice meal just before the theatre, the staff were exceptionally nice and would go again.All cotes I have been to have been of the same standard.

This Restaurant was over crowded tables to close together as for the poor staff they were rushing about everywhere and looked exhausted - this was a Saturday 5-30 but have to also say the food was lovely - have used vote in covent garden and Glasgow and prefer those of maybe try a different time

The staff was super kind and made us feel welcome. Our dinner with my griend become a memorable evening, I will return to this restatuant very sooon.

An excellent meal pre-theatre. The food was perfect and the service superb. Excellent value for money.

Had a wonderful meal at the St Martins Lane branch on Sat 9th March 2019. Had originally booked for 7.45pm but due to problems with the trains had to phone up & ask to move the time back which they were more than happy to do. We could not fault the meal which was superb with a special shout-out to the Lamp Rump dish on the main menu which was brilliant 🙂 Staff very helpful & attentive - would definitely come back when next in London 🙂

Fast service. Food just ok this time (2nd time here in 1 year), seafood linguine pasta dish distinctly lacking some flavour I thought, a bit bland. Mentioned to our waiter, but unconvinced he took note. French onion soup starter was also just ok, nothing to get excited about. Essential to book in advance, theatre lovers!

Good food, good location, good service at a reasonable price.

Lovely lunch, the quick service was great (and appreciated) over the business lunch time period and the tuna salad was really tasty. A good atmosphere, buzzy but not so loud we could not talk.

This restaurant is understandingly busy with people taking pre-performance meals but there are plenty of staff and they cope admirably. The food is good and the set menus good value.

Very nice restaurant, with typical french dishes. Very friendly waiters.

My wife and I enjoyed excellent food and service. The new April menu was great. We will definitely choose Cote Brasserie next time we are in n town.

Good service. V professional friendly waiter. Great food.

Booked ages ago so was somewhat surprised to find we had been allocated a table in the basement. Surely,if you have taken the trouble to book you should get a decent table? Food quality good but portions appear to be getting smaller.

Saturday evening in a buzzy restaurant. The food was delicious and exactly what I expect from a French brasserie. Charming and quick service. Crab bisque+duck pate/veal chop+ribeye chips, salad, veg/plum tart/Chinon wine = £103 (US$140).

Overall excellent experience as usual - good food, good wine, good service (despite the venue being very busy). Cote continues to be very reliable. Couple of points : The venue is quite noisy (lots of happy eaters talking loudly). Minor quibbles on the food (nit picking here) - the mussels in my moules marinieres (yummy) were very small / a bit dry, my main of monkfish was delicious but I would have increased the spinach and decreased the mushrooms. As I say, nit picking, and we'll be back soon.

Cote's high standard can always be relied upon. We received a warm welcome. The service was good and so was the food and the atmosphere was excellent. It was rather noisy but that was only because it was full of people enjoying their lunch.

The service was bery attentive, although we were in before it got really busy. Much better service than a previous occasion we went, when the service was dreadful. The food on the whole was good, although my cod was quite dry and not as moist as it should have been. But that aside, it was all fine. Good value. The tables are rather too close together but its always been that way. Anyway, it is very handy for theatres etc and we will go back i am sure. I visit Cotes in various locations and generally they are a high standard.

Our waitress, Natalia, worked incredibly hard and huge praise to her. My friend and I shared the crab mayonnaise which was good. The swordfish was over cooked. Carrots and mashed potatoes good. Excellent service overall.

The food was excellent and overall, good value. But, the tables are too close and thus it soon gets so noisy it is difficult to even hear what your partner is saying.. The owners need to give this serious consideration.

We had a really nice breakfast today as usual, however I don't know if it's me but the portions seemed a bit smaller than they used to?

This was our second night on the trot but, again, standards were maintained and we were made to feel most welcome. This was a particularly 'pre show' busy time but I thought the staff really handled the situation well, no one felt pressurised to finish yet they kept things moving very well. I really believe that the supervisors' and their teams are the main strength of the company, well done. Oh, one minor moan, no sardines and it was only early Friday evening. I could have understood late on Sunday - perhaps next time.

Perfect steak..food portions just right. Will definitely go again...booked in advance ..table immediately...great staff..very polite.. House wine excellent.. Fixed price menu very reasonable. Efficient and friendly service. 😊 thank you

Very enjoyable. Pre-booked tasble in the window as normal. Turned up a few minutes late but no problem. Oh yes, nearly forgot, the food was great as usual.

Excellent service and great food, 3 menus to choose from, all looked delicious. We were a party of 5 and all said how much we enjoyed the meal. Only downside was the toilets were down some steep stairs and one of our party has severe walking difficulties and found these difficult as other people were pushing past - there was a seating area downstairs too.

Lovely and welcoming. Food was amazing, staff were even better, service here is always fantastic.

Great menu with plenty of choice, and very good value. The staff were very friendly, and we all enjoyed our meals. We will return - recommended!

Such wonderful service made our trip to London and the Theatre so much nicer. A great selection of food and wines all served very quickly. Thank you

We were on a very tight schedule between the end of the pre-performance talk and the start of the actual performance, the talk ran over so we didn't arrive until 1835. I had warned Côte and pre-ordered our meals. When we arrived they knew about us and served us quickly. The steak frites were very good as usual and the house red went down very well. We were out by 1910 in good time for the opera. The waiter was most attentive and helpful in spite of the restaurant being very busy. A thoroughly enjoyable and stress free experience, it couldn't have been better. Congratulations all round.

We have been a few times to this restaurant and have always had wonderful service, the staff are always very pleasant and helpful. As for the food, there were 6 of us and we all throughly enjoyed our meal. We will definitely book the restaurant again.

Absolutely delicious lunch, with good service. Thank you! My friend started with goats cheese salad whilst I had asparagus. Then we both ate sea bream with fennel and potatoes puree plus side dishes of salad and green beans.

We are a regular customer of Cote Sevenoaks, but meet up for reunions etc at Cote St Martin's Lane where we are guaranteed to same hospitality and dining experience.....good food, good wine and most of all excellent efficient, friendly and professional service. Thank you for a lovely day out in town today ! Lyn
