Excellent meal as always and great service. Just disappointed that they had run out of the usual garlic bread I always enjoy with a glass of wine while waiting for my main course.

The quality of the food was high, as usual, and the service efficient and fast. In particular, I enjoyed the duck and the dessert. The restaurant is very popular and hence noisy. Given the prices in London, the relationship between price and quality is excellent.

Very pleasant service and great pre theatre meal with plenty of choice.. Cote Saint Martin's Lane never disappoints. It is a favourite of us in the West End

Great setting and atmosphere. Lovely meal. Service good, although despite there being garlic bread on the menu, there was none available! I do like the Côte chain and would definitely go back.

Excellent lunch - good service, great food, Cote continues to be consistent. The rib eye steak is really good - best value of all the high-street chains.

Being a Saturday evening the restaurant was full and the manager had to to relocate me to a different table during dinner. Not complaining as I was offered a free dessert!

We were in good time for our meal and were able to order quite swiftly from the pre-theatre menu. First and second courses came relatively speedily but third course did not come on time. We were told that our order had gone to the wrong table and even then we waited until we decided we would be too late for our concert. Staff did apologise and offer a free pudding post concert but we were unable to take this up. A pity as we think the food is good and we enjoyed what we had.

Good food. Excellent value. Service a bit slow. Very convenient location in St Martins lane. Looking forward to Cote in Shrewsbury. Tables a little too close together

Food was exellent service was a little off however it was shift changeover and once I had spoken to the waitress all was back on track again.

We visit this branch of Cote for 90% of our London theatre trips. The staff are well trained and particularly engaging. I have to say, there's a really nice buzz, busy and companiable without being overwhelming. We always enjoy our meal and the experience as a whole, not to mention that it's excellent value for money.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere very busy as of course it is in the middle of theatre land. The food was fine but not as good as other COTE we have been to. Portions not huge The price is good value For London. The creme caramel delicious. Smoked Haddock dish not much fish involved. I would recommend Cote. Remember each branch is different and although the menu is the same the chef is different.

The restaurant was busy but the team produced our table for six quite quickly, keeping us refreshed with a complimentary drink to see us through a very short wait. We all enjoyed our various choices and the wine was good. Top marks to a friendly and efficient team for coping well.

Good food with helpful and efficient staff. Ideal for pre theatre eating. We always visit when in London and are never disappointed. Would happily recommend.

We had a very good value pre-theatre meal, with plenty of choice. The service was good. Like most restaurants, it's a bit too noisy for my taste!

As always excellent value for money, plus the service is quick so that we can get to the Theater in time. As well as tasty food and a changing menu. What more could one ask for

Staff friendly, service & food was good. Great place for a pre theatre meal ! Recommend. Idea to book in advance as very busy .

Good food but service not so good as at Sloane Square on Saturday. Not enough staff and perhaps not trained too well because they all seemed to be running around chasing their tails and bumping into each other and the customers.

Fantastic pre theatre menu and great service! We had a three course meal for a good price although the chocolate pot was a little small for my taste!

Lovely food and good service-but ambience is a rather busy and was too close to the next table. Recommend Cote but maybe not that particular restaurant.

Great food as always, freshly cooked and delicious. We went pre-theatre so it was very busy and quite noisy. Had to wait longer than usual for food but service is good. Tables in this restaurant are very close together.

Good food, good service. The restaurant gets pretty busy and loud on a sat night - particularly after 7.30, not the place for a quiet meal

Chose to dine here for the gluten free menu. Menu options and the food were excellent with friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely visit again.

Great food and first-class service. The early evening set menu is particularly good value and the wine list is varied and reasonably priced - but it would be nice if they offered carafes.

perfect for our pre theatre dinner, fast service, good choices on pre theatre menu. Everything clean, waiting staff efficient and friendly, always a reliable option!

Friendly staff and good value menu. Fairly slow service though which was slightly stressful as we needed to leave for the theatre. Bones in sea bass fillet a disappointment too.

Good quality food as always and the set menu is very good value. Cote is very consistent in all of its restaurants. Cheap for London.

very good service despite the numbers of people there - no complaints and great food good value we all enjoyed the experience and are coming back next week

Very pleasant service, our friendly Spanish waiter made sure we were served on time and had enough time to have our three courses before rushing to the theatre. Lovely meal and great deserts

Good food, unobtrusive service even when busy as it always is early evening. The set menu is incredible value- definitely one of the best chains.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but efficient. Excellent, attentive service: courteous and helpful. One particular detail that was appreciated (and is all too rare in restaurants) the staff pointed out any dishes that were not available in giving us the menus. The range of the meals on offer (set menu and specials) is first rate as is the preparation and presentation of the food. The perfect post-theatre experience, our meal was a great end to a great evening.

Excellent food and such good value three courses for under £16.00 and the atmosphere is wonderful like waking up in a Paris brasserie. All staff were very friendly and very efficient. Great night.

Perfect small bistro with authentic French cuisine at a convenient site for theatre and opera etc. We have eaten here many times before the opera and it has been efficient and well priced. Staff are very friendly. The downstairs setting area can be a little claustrophobic. We had fortunately never been placed there before, but on this occasion were put next to the serving door. This meant a constant stream of staff crashing past your table that was enough to cause indigestion. I was hit in the back over 50 times during our meal.

Very very good, small quibbles with Limited offer of Gins (Gin has become such a big business now), had to double check bill as server forgot to remove the complimentary wine. Food portions were excellent and very tasty.

Service was fast and polite despite the restaurant being very busy. If anything, service was too fast as our mains arrived before we had finished our fougasse!

Excellent food, service and attention to detail! The staff were welcoming and helpful. The restaurant was fully booked so a bit noisy with pre-theatre diners.

Food, as normal in Cote, was good quality and good value on a pre-theatre menu. Long wait for starter plates to be cleared after finishing them. Table was downstairs and I would not want to sit there again as it is too cramped and somewhat noisy. Ask for a table upstairs.

Perfect pre dinner meal, great atmosphere. lots of other venues are available too mostly right next to the theatres. food was tasty,fresh,hot and served quickly, great prices too.

Great service with an attentive waiter. Busy and lively atmosphere. Very convienent for theatre's. Quick service with out being rushed. Will use again in the future.

Very good food, service and atmosphere. Twenty five words is far too many and up until today I have refused to write a review! Far too many all you need to know is Good or Bad!!! Unless this is changed I will not be filling in any further requests.

Good food, good service, convenient to theater district but SUPER busy for dinner on matinee days because of post- and pre- crowds. Would go again.

Excellent service from waiter on his first day - the pre-theatre menu is great value and really tasty food, espcially the creme caramel which is the best ever.

A lovely meal with great service. An ideal environment for pre theatre dining or indeed at any time. Never had a bad meal. Staff very friendly.

Excellent meal wit has a good service and very helpful attentive caring staff. You were very busy but you cared for us as if we were the only people in at the time. Once again a big thank you to all your staff. Hope to go to our local restaurant in Chelmsford soon. Many thanks John Wark

Excellent for a pre-theatre meal 2 or 3 courses are very tasty and good value. The service is fast so you can be in and out in less than an hour

As usual an excellent experience at restaurant. Staff work incredibly hard at this busy venue (pre theatre). Food and drink delivered efficiently but without diners feeling rushed. Essential booking at busy times. Food very good too

As always, Cote provided a tasty pre-theatre meal at a reasonable price, with excellent service. It's rather cramped, and a little on the noisy side, but highly recommended.

An excellent value pre-theatre meal. The restaurant was very busy, but the service was still good. The quality of the food was good too. We will go back again! Highly recommended.

Good food as usual but cramped tables and very noisy. Didn't feel as relaxed as other branches we have been in. Background music unnecessary, especially as barely audible apart from bass line!

The usual high standard of service and quality of food. No wonder every table appeared to be occupied - people know they can rely on Cote.
