Côte - St Martin's Lane

Just a delightful place to meet with friends and the food and service never lets you down. It is one of my favourite eateries where the value and quality of the experience counts for all. It always meets my expectations. Try it and see!

Wonderful! Food was delicious and we had fantastic service. Great atmosphere. Our favourite restaurant. Will be back soon!

Good value well served tasty meal. Excellent choice of vegetarian food for my companion.

Fast and friendly service. Good quality food, affordable prices. 3 mins to the theatre.

We decided to go with the prestige set menu which was fine, but not as good as the previous occasion with the pre theatre steak and chips. The warm beetroot salad was cold. We will stick to our usual in future.

Good food and service without feeling rushed and all for a very reasonable price Recommended

Fantastic!!! Great and friendly service, food amazing, lovely ambience, can’t wait to go back again.

Pre theatre dinner Saturday night, food good, service excellent. Thank you

We enjoyed our visit to Cote. Good food and service as always thank you

Excellent service and food, can’t be beat 😃 thank you

Nice food, good service, very busy but food served very quickly and efficiently.

Another great visit. Although very busy (Christmas Saturdays) still good and pleasant service and good priced food. Thank you

Lovely food at a great price. Service was excellent. Friendly staff.

An appalling experience. We are regulars at Côte St Christopher’s, Barbican and RFH and all provide a great experience even when we are rushing to get to a concert or show. In this Côte we were frozen by the air con and told there was nothing that could be done. We received the wrong food for which we had to wait a long time and we left in a rush only to find that we had been overcharged. There were far too few people serving and the girl we had was bad tempered.

Thank you looking after us,, the staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us ,, especially as it was very busy

Always very good food , nice selection of wines and great staff

At a very busy time both the service and food were excellent

Excellent food and great service. We would book again.

Bad experience place we had. the staff need to have a happy face on when they are attending to customers...

Lovely new winter menus and friendly staff. You can always rely on the food being good. It's a very popular spot for pre-theatre dining and sometimes feels a little overcrowded and noisy.

Excellent pre theatre meal. Good food at a brilliant price. Charming waitress.

Excellent food served by friendly but efficient staff. We arrived at 7.00pm which is the busiest time but were soon seated and enjoying our meal.

We always book to eat here when we go to the opera at the nearby coliseum. Always friendly and efficient. Many thanks.

Fantastic efficient and friendly brasserie close to the theatres, coliseum for us. You do need to book if you want a pre theatre meal, we saw loads of people turned away because they hadn't and restaurant was full. Still as efficient and friendly as ever despite how busy they were. We will be back...

A very pleasant lunch. Good food, friendly and efficient service. Good value for money. Noise level a bit too high for easy conversation.

Lovely experience. Great food. Superb service on a special day.

Enjoyable, due to food and nice staff, but pre-theatre supper almost ruined by the dreadful level of noise. Pls put some absorbent material on the walls!!

Lovely food, with a gluten free menu which was perfect for me! Good value for money and a great meal before going to see a show!

The staff were friendly and understanding and the food was very good, as usual.

Great speedy service which we needed as we were heading to the theatre afterwards

Excellent food and great value. We had to wait a while to get menus and drinks but after that the service was excellent. Noise levels were very high as very busy.

Continues to be excellent. I lunch here 3 or 4 times a year with some ex-colleagues (all retired now). Service is efficient / friendly, and the food continues to be very good (best rib-eye steaks in any "chain" restaurant in London). Wine good quality at reasonable cost. Long may it continue.

Ideal for a pre theatre dinner with an extensive good value menue

Great value and good food A bit noisy so ask 4 a table at the front Booking recommended

Really warm welcome when we arrived. Nice and friendly service and food was very tasty and again nicely presented. We will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Table ready on arrival, pleasant greeting, food good (very hot soup, well done!) and service efficient and friendly, all in spite of it being hectic.

Food was good and staff pleasant however they do need to listen to customers and take notice of sequencing of courses, we ordered a dessert, calvados and coffee- up came there coffee, then the calvados then we had to ask for the dessert- not sure what that was about! Yes, it was rectified and coffee renewed after desert was served but still an unnecessary situation, if they were unsure of the order why didn’t they ask us? All very silly, just need to listen to customers and check if they are unsure of orders or haven’t heard correctly.

The standard of food is lower than at my local branches in Wimbledon and Kingston although the menu is the same. Obviously the penalty of eating in central London where they don’t need to try. The warm beetroot salad had one tiny lettuce leaf plonked on top. Would be much better presentation to have a bed of mixed leaves. My autumn ravioli was quite dry and although I like my pasta al dente this was definitely undercooked. Also would be nice if the lady on reception could muster a smile.

Only 4 stars because the waitress was slow and was getting things wrong. We were waiting ages for courses and I finally got the lady at the front desk to let me pay the bill. The waitress handed a bill to the wrong table and there were things wrong on it. Then another table waited so long for dessert that they complained, gave up and left. She was smiley and trying hard but needs more training I think.

Good staff / food v good too . Busy but fun

Pre theatre meal. Service and food great. Definite value for money.

Good food. Good wine. Good ambience. What’s not to love ❤️

Great food, quick service for pre-theatre dinner. Highly recommended and very good value.

Great atmosphere, great staff, great service, great food. Thank you.

We had a lovely relaxed meal here with a group of old friends. The waitress was particularly helpful and the food was all delicious. Excellent value for money, we will be back.

Busy pre theatre dinner , well serviced and organised. Good standard fare as usual . [Mussels very small though]
