Music initially much too loud. Intrusive. Wider choice for vegetarians. I know Cote is French but less is eaten today.

At 5.30pm the restaurant had already run out of risotto, which I felt was bad & showed poor stock control. My friend ordered the spinach and mushroom crepes, which were in a watery sauce and were tasteless. It is usually a great restaurant & the St.Martin’s Lane one always delivers, but very sub-standard this time.

Excellent meal and service. Only downside is that tables are very close together and, because the restaurant was full, it wasn't easy to talk. Nevertheless, it was very good value for London and a good choice of food. Would recommend and use again.

Generally , we enjoy a meal at Cote. This time was exceptionally bad due to the excessive noise level making it impossible to have a normal conversation.

Brilliant from start to finish. Lovely cocktails, nice starter, beautiful main course topped off with a super desert. Add together the great service, who brought complimentary cocktails and a complimentary desert to my partner, whose birthday it was, made it a wonderful occasion. Thank you St Martin's Lane. Best regards Ian

Exceptional service. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant we were looked after and nothing was too much trouble. The food was exquisite. The waitress was exemplary and made us feel very comfortable. I have not had a better experience in a restaurant and I frequent many in London. I really hope this level of service is maintained. Thank you to all at St. Martins Lane.

Our food was excellent and St Martins lane is our fave Cote. Tonight our waiter Thiago was particularly great - faultless service and it made our evening to be so nicely looked after he is a credit to the Cote Team. Thank you

Cote is always reliable and the food is good. The service is good although not always exceptional for the added charge. I elected to take up the offer of a free cocktail but due to misleading information from the first waitress we ended up not qualifying. So I will take future offers with a 'pinch of salt'.

Had a good pre-theatre meal here. The restaurant was very busy, and serving staff were racing around to deal with customers, but I can’t fault the attentiveness of our waiters, nor the quality of the food. Portions are on the small side, but healthy and very tasty. The set menu was very good value, and service was lightning fast.

Good service and lovely food at reasonable (for London) prices. But the noise level meant that it was difficult to have a good conversation. When booking we had asked for a quiet corner but this was ignored even though downstairs tables were available.

Service from our waitress was friendly and considerate. My tuna nicoise was not up to usual standard: it was small, arrived without new potatoes in it and I'd asked for the tuna to be cooked medium but it was rare. I asked for it to be cooked a bit more and it came back medium rare. The restaurant was very busy but unless I'm offered a discount because of that the quality of the food should be the same as always. Disappointed.

Excellent food and service despite being busy. We had the two course pre theatre menu. There wasn’t quite enough time for dessert but we had coffee. Only slight negatives were that they had run out of the first wine we had asked for and it was quite noisy being full.

Cote's fixed menu is an excellent choice prior to a theatre trip..and this branch is excellent. Always warm and welcoming, with great service. Highlight for me is the steak frite, and we do always like the starers. It never feels like a set menu or cheap option! Wine is OK rather than great.

Excellent food and service. Restaurant very full for pre theatre dinner but the staff managed with efficiency and good humour. The noise level was high but this is to be expected at this particular time as there are so many theatres close by. Without doubt the best place for a time limited meal at a very good price.
