Côte - St Martin's Lane

We are fans! When in London we always come to St Martin's Lane Cotes. The food has never disappointed and the service impeccable.

Staff friendly and welcoming. Nice ambience. Good menu. Food good, but very expensive.

From a warm welcome then excellent service, very good food and a nice wine this was a most enjoyable visit. The manager and staff were outstanding . I use various cote restaurants occasionally and I would certainly visit this one again. Thank you.

It is so good to be back! As usual the staff were brilliant, I watched one of them spend five minutes patiently explaining the menu to a customer who couldn't work out the Christmas menu with or without the wine, for them to be employed again and for me to help keep them in a job is wonderful.

We often eat here when we visit Covent Garden and surrounding area. It was good to return after recent lockdown although unfortunately the restaurant was rather cold due to present circumstances so do wrap up warm.

Everything fantastic although it was a bit cool in the restaurant..

A lovely lunch all food well cooked and we were looked after by wonderful staff

Everything was very much how we have experienced in the past and how we expected it to be under the current very strange circumstances. The atmosphere was fine and the staff were all very pleasant as usual. The food was up to your normal high standards and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The absence of musak was also most welcome.

So glad to enjoy Côte's excellent service and cuisine after so long in enforced exile. As of old, charming, helpful and efficient service. You can't beat it!

Wonderful as always, lovely food & service 👍 😊 🥂

This was the first time eatting here what great service and food x

Great food, professional staff Good atmosphere Would recommend Fantastic value for money

It seems pricier than before lockdown but still v good

Delicious meal, really great service and I felt very well looked after

We had a very nice evening at Cote Brasserie. We were glad to be back there, having eaten at this branch many times in the past, mainly for pre-theatre eating prior to going to the Coliseum. I had mentioned in my booking that it was my husband's birthday and the staff very kindly provided complimentary Kir Royale on arrival. The food was good as usual and the service excellent. We were just sorry to see the place so empty and hope things will improve for you eventually.

We had a very enjoyable meal last night and our waitress was lovely, very friendly and efficient. Sad you are having to close again due to COVID but we are regular concert go-ers to St Martins so we look forward to coming back and dining at Coté again.

Staff where fantastic and very professional - would defiantly come back again

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Good food, reasonably priced wine and friendly yet very efficient service. Well done (particularly in the present trying times)!

Excellent food and attentive service. Lunch with my granddaughter was made to feel a lovely occasion. Such a pity that more customers were not able to be there.

Excellent food, impeccable service and a very warm welcome. So good to be back!

One of the best family meals ever and also an amazing value for money. Chateaubriand was just perfect as well as the salads, the side dishes and children meals. The waiter was wonderfully attentive and the overall service and ambience was superb. We will certainly be back!

Eating at Cote St Martins Lane is a reassuringly safe and comforting treat right now. Carefully managed seating arrangements, excellent hygiene regulations and plenty of hand sanitiser around should you feel the need, the kind and friendly staff are meticulously trained to allow you to relax and enjoy fabulous food and wine in the cleanest and cosiest surroundings. It's a little haven of rest in an otherwise agitated London. Book now!

the tables were well spaced and using the closed off street gave us a chance to enjoy the sunshine without the traffic noise and fumes. The staff were very friendly and attentive. As always the food was excellent .It was altogether a vey enjoyable meal and we will defiantly return.Thank you Cotes for opening up again....Wonderful.

Food was great and Joanna our server was so helpful and friendly. It changed our mood from a bad pub decision and rescued our day. Thank you.

I always enjoy the ambience, food and excellent service at Cote. It has never let me down. The menu is varied with something for everyone.

Great food and atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive.

Excellent staff, brilliant and friendly service. Well organsied given current situation and felt very comfortable.

The restaurant was virtually empty so lacked the vibe of a usual meal at Cote but the place looked as welcoming as ever - candles lit at every table, even downstairs I noticed when I went to the loo - and the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a good time. Two small criticisms about the food. I had the pork tenderloin which was advertised as coming with a celeriac purée. As a result I ordered frites on the side. The purée was, in fact, more potato than celeriac and I would have done better with a green vegetable on the side. Secondly, something was over salted as I’ve been drinking cups of tea ever since my visit!

Attentive service steak cooked as requested and chips as well

We greatly enjoyed our meal, both food and wine were excellent, and we had good service from the attentive staff.

As always, staff is great. Couldn't ask for more! I love cotes.

Lovely food, good menu with monthly specials. Service was also good with diners suitably spaced apart.

We had a lovely time, first class food and wine and service. So sad that there were so few diners. But it made it nice and quiet.

Every single thing we ate and drank was delicious and the staff were very friendly and efficient. I particularly loved the October special aperitif! Already planning my next trip back... thank you everyone.

When I booked the table I thought that two new fig cocktails were complimentary. As my wife does not like figs we only had one and that was charged for on the bill. Was this a mistake or did I get it wrong? The goats cheese salad had vegetables that were steamed not roasted. Serving it in a bowl meant that the dressing was at the bottom of the bowl and not on the food. The bowl also made it difficult to eat. My wife turned it out on to a plate which did not help the presentation but made it much easier to eat. It tasted fine but she would have prefered proper roasted veg as described.

Absolutely fantastic time, I'll be coming back, Can not recommend it enough

Excellent service. Lovely waitress. Good food. Would have just preferred an extra 4/5 minutes between starter and main course.

We had excellent service for a birthday meal. The restaurant was very quiet but we had superb friendly and helpful service . The fig cocktails were delicious , fig and endive starter generous and salmon ratatouille perfectly cooked. A fantastic meal with brilliant service. We will return soon!

Wonderful seasonal food. Very friendly and attentive staff. Excellent value!

Felt very safe; good food; attentive service. Excellent. Thank you

What a treat to eat at Cote St Martin's Lane yesterday. Easily the warmest welcome in London, followed by swift service, friendly and helpful staff all paying close attention to cleaning and distancing protocols. This all helps you to relax and feel safe and well cared-for. We enjoyed a delicious lunch with the freshest ingredients cooked to perfection, and savoured a terrific (yet not expensive) glass of champagne. The overall value for money is great. We'll be back as soon as we can....

Excellent menu. Just what you want. Very nice service. Perfect for the National Gallery after an exhibition.

We went for an early dinner midweek, and although the restaurant was quite empty when we arrived the staff made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious. Best smoked salmon I have had. Very good thin plat rapide steak with thin crispy chips and perfect green salad. Good wines by the glass and quick and efficient service. What we had thought of as a quick efficient meal turned into a huge treat!

I could not fault the warm welcome and attentive service. All the current Covid-19 regulations were adhered to with the minimum of fuss. The food was delicious and the complementary Rhubarb Martini aperitif much appreciated - will definitely order one of those again!

Food lovely as usual - even with a smaller menu. Great service but just so sad to see it so quiet - and London so deserted,,,,,

The decor was back to it's usual high standard the tables were sufficiently far apart for social distancing and the staff were their usual pleasant and helpful selves. The food was again, as usual, excellent and our meal was most enjoyable. The sadness was the emptiness brought about by the covid regulations. We are used to seeing the restaurant full and busy at 6.00 on Sunday evenings, when we normally visit. We very much hope you will be able to make the limited seating work and survive this dreadful situation and wish you every success. The musak did get a bit loud and intrusive at times.

Very good thank you.excellent service.would come back another time ta

Never had such wonderful service in my life. Brilliant staff and food was so tasty and priced cheap for london!

Cote are doing a great job to keep up the high standards that they set in the past. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Brilliant service, attentive and friendly. Excellent food served attractively and well. Superb place!
