A lovely meal, tasted wonderful and reasonably priced. Portions were small but that's understandable when you order from the prestige set menu. Some tables were very loud which detracted from the experience

Busy restaurant. Good service. Use Cote locally on regular basis. Love the food. Side dish here of minted peas was cold. Goats cheese and vegetable salad difficult to eat out a bowl due to size of vegetable chunks. Otherwise good.

Very disappointing experience at the Cote this afternoon, my mussels were dry and looked like they had been heated several times. Also, I asked for a coffee with non dairy milk and they didn’t have any option whatsoever and when I asked for tea instead they also didn’t have the type I asked for (although it was from the menu!) and the waitress didn’t seem to be all that bothered about it! I won’t be visiting this restaurant again, extremly poor service!

Excellent dining experience from welcome through to paying the bill! Served by Joanna who was outstanding and so nice. Dishes were tasty served on hot plates and the vanilla ice cream dessert with hot chocolate was ridiculously good. Prices are fair and would dine here again for sure.

Good value early evening 2 course meal (could have had 3 courses but didn't want the pudding/sweet course). Quite busy but service was good. Food hot when served but due to us close to the door we did suffer some fresh air overload. Having said that overall the impression was good for a restaurant in this part of London.

We enjoyed a very good meal before going to the theatre. Booking in advance was easy, and despite arriving early the table was ready. The service was quick punctual and very polite. Tables were clean and reasonably spacious. The wine was just right, the menu had plenty of choices for all tastes complimentary water was speedily delivered. In an extremely busy time for the staff our food was delivered piping hot and well presented. The Breton fish stew was very good and a bowl for the shells was automatically delivered. The service was delivered with a smile, lovely.

Lovely venue. Always nice to have a window table with more space. Great food at great prices. The duck with cherries was more than ample as a portion served with the lovely gratin potatoes. My friend had the crepes which he enjoyed too. Never fails to deliver.

Being disabled, I phoned to book a special table. This was not done. Staff were rushed so we were rushed at some points and had long delays at others. A couple of dishes were disappointing. I have had better experiences at Cote.

The friendly staff performed very well over an extremely busy lunchtime. However, our starters were not very hot (they possibly had been ready for some time waiting for someone to deliver them to the table) and served on cold plates such that they were almost cold by the time we had finished them. Also my coffee (cappuccino) was only lukewarm, such that I had to finish rather quickly before it went cold! This was a shame because the food quality was good and would have been rated excellent if not for the above issues.

Staff very pleasant as always but again St Martin’s Lane appears to be short of staff. There seems to be a big staff turnover. New staff on our visits. If that is the case it is not a good sign. ( Costs cutting? )The beef bourguignon was almost delicious: tasty but too dry and slightly over salty. My friend had the Fish pie which is usually very tasty and creamy but this time very dry with no visible sauce. However excellent desserts and coffee as always. We visit St Martin’s Lane at least once a month.

We were a party of five ladies that lunch and were so well looked after. The food was delicious. We were given the option of sitting upstairs and down and we opted to sit downstairs so that we could chat and hear each other. This was such good value for money. After we went to Westminster Abbey for a carol service. Lorna Russell
