Côte - St Martin's Lane

Good and friendly service, as always, and Cote took notice of our request for a table by a window, quiet as is reasonably possible at a Friday lunchtime!

There is a wonderful buzz in this restaurant as it is always busy. The staff are very efficient and the food is always tasty. Great value set meals too

Great service and food. Took my mother before Carousel on 25 April and we couldn't fault it but you need to book pre-theatre. Loved the dark chocolate pot!! Will definitely be back.

Excellent food, charming service and a great atmosphere. We can rely on lunch at Cote being a rewarding experience and look forward to our next visit.

Very good service, our waitress was fantastic. The restaurant was very busy but we didn't have to wait for anything. The food was good too, the usual Côte standard.

First class all round. Friendly welcoming and attentive staff Excellent options for food - which is well cooked, well presented and tasty Broad selections of wine - kept well and served at the right temperature. Highly recommended

Excellent and friendly service with first rate and well priced food! Always our choice for a group gathering as everyone is happy and satisfied. We will be back Again !

Food, wine and service very good. Due to timing at busy pre-theatre peak rush our table was in the basement, right at the back and a little claustrophobic.

Very busy en noisy place visited by people before theater. Beetroot salad taste was a little bit disappointing. Grilled chicken was tastefull. All in all quite nice, not excellent

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Wonderful food magnificent service fabulous atmosphere. All round brilliant experience and not a hit on your wallet. It is easily accessible and has lots of seating. Boom first using quandoo. Super easy

As usual the food was excellent and the price very reasonable. The service was a little slow, but then we came into the restaurant just before an near empty one suddenly filled up with people to get a meal just before the theatres started, and the waitress apologised for the slight delay.

Excellent meal in a pleasant friendly environment with attentive staff. The perfect location for a meal to accompany a visit to one of the local theatres.

Slow service on arrival; i.e. needed to ask for attention in order to get a drink and to order the food. Food good though. Size of portions just right for lunch.

Friendly service of a good quality despite being very busy. Food came fast and was hot. Very reasonable price for the quality and location. Only downside was that it was very noisy.

Very good as usual. Excellent service in a full restaurant so that customers are served promptly for pre theatre meals. Am a regular customer. Need to book as very busy.

A very good experience after the opera. We had a nice window table, service was good as was the food. A restaurant we use frequently and will continue to use.

I am a regular at Cote St Martins Lane because I like the location, the wide range of very good food at extremely good prices and the fast efficient service

The food was reall good, the service was great, and the price was very reasonable. It was easy to reserve a table too. Thoroughly enjoyed

Very good. Our waitress was excellent. On previous occasions in this very busy restaurant there has been quite a long wait for food, but not this time. The kitchen and the whole operation was working well . Thanks.

The early bird menu is very good value, the choice is good and the service very efficient. The food was welll prepared. Would definitely recommend. Make sure you reserve a table as always busy.

Excellent service friendly staff. we had a pre theatre light lunch which was tasty, served promptly. General ambience good, nice environment. Would definitely recommend this cote.

The service and food were very good and we all enjoyed our visit. The restaurant is ideally placed for a pre or post theatre visit.

Lovely food, attentive service. The pre-theatre menu is always excellent with a good choice of tasty dishes at a reasonable price. The haddock parmentier was delicious.

Great steak frites, just to my liking. Good value 2 course menu for £12.50. Very busy when we went (Saturday lunchtime), so worth booking ahead. Setvice excellent despite the number of people

Friendly welcome by all the staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Good choice of food. Ate of of the set menu. Great value for money. Cannot wait to visit again.

Great meal and good service ! will look forward to going again sometime soon! Very good menu Table was ready for us on arrival on the time we booked

Excellent value and service as ever. We visit often. The manager, Ashwan, is always so welcoming as are all the staff. It is a pleasure to dine here.

Very busy but very good value pre theatre menu and good food. Tables quite close together. Ground floor nicer than downstairs. Friendly service. Booking recommended.

Good meal, though service was a little slow - had to ask for dessert to be hurried in order to make theatre on time. Was a bit chilly in the back room.

The pre 7pm fixed price menu is great value and the restaurant was packed with pre-theatre diners. Unfortunately we were seated in the basement and whilst service started off well, once the area vacated with the theatre goers leaving we became forgotten by the staff? Our waiter had signed off his shift as our deserts were brought and we saw no one for over half an hour. A disappointing end to what could have been a great experience. Good choices are available on the fixed price menu.

Serving staff were really good, although busy they were very attentive. Food was lovely as usual, there was a slight mix up with one of the orders but this was dealt with fairly quickly

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.

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.

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.
