As a regular customer for the last few yaers I can make my opinion for sure. And should like to say the restaurant & staff are working very hard making their efforts and skills to provide a very good service and nice food to the customers. And they succeeded in their efforts, some of the staff in particular... My waiter( don’t remember his name, originally from Albania..) made a very good service,working very quickly and payed attention to all small details I asked for. The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice & pleasant. Food and wine usually just great! I’m going to recommend Côte in St.Martine Lane to my neighbors... Many thanks for my pleasant visit and see you soon 🖐

St Martin's Lane Cote is always a pleasure to visit. The Far East Asian woman who manages it warmly greeted us, setting the tone for a fabulous a la carte experience. In total contrast to the shambles that is Cote in St Albans, where even booking for a medium party is too onerous a task for them. Recently we were promised that our request for the reservation mentioned could only be confirmed after a period of 48 hours! To compound this, Cote St Albans did not have the courtesy to contact us either way. Very unprofessional. We booked Bill's restaurant instead, where we had a good experience. Needless to say we will stick with the excellent St Martin's branch and it's marvellous staff.

A very pleasant lunch with a good choice of dishes on both fixed price menus. I really enjoyed the french onion soup (again) and my guest her mackerel and beetroot salad. Main courses also good - my salmon and her risotto vert. No time (or space) for pudding.This restaurant is always pretty noisy - packed, low ceilings - compared to other Cotes I've tried.

Excellent service. Prestige menu provides outstanding value for money given the location. I had the Breton mussels followed by the artichoke risotto. My dining partner had the Feuilleté Provençal followed by the pork tenderloin.

Good booking experience, great ambience, efficient, friendly service, good food (pre-theatre menu) - in all very enjoyable. Only reason for not giving 5* was the noise level. Always busy at this time, so lots of chattering, obviously. But a few soft furnishings placed around (curtains, cushions, material wall hangings etc) would help to absorb the very loud noise level and make for a more enjoyable, relaxed experience without having to shout at your fellow diners.

I like Cote very much. The food is always good, the service is excellent and it's very good value. But I am not impressed by the competition you just sent me to win a free meal. It won't let me complete the entry and submit it!

Food and servers were lovely but the restaurant downstairs area was crowded making it difficult for the servers to cope, hence why some mistakes were made that otherwise would not have

As usual food choice from the different menus was good and the quality of the food was excellent. Service was good and we were comfortable on time prior to our opera visit. Only downside was placement of our table for four- just inside the door and therefore we were disturbed by the arrival/departure of other diners.

As always with Cote which we have visited many times everything was ecellent , my one let down if that is the correct word is that despite mailing the previous week to enquire if anything special could be done for a birthday no reply has ever been received .

Good food, good atmosphere. Free Kir Royals with theatre voucher on the back of ticket envelope - do check as it works! Restaurant too hot and reluctant to open doors - they need to sort this out before summer. Menu very good, expecially the pre-theatre and lunch set menu - £12.95 for 2 courses, £14.95 for 3 courses. There is a slightly more expensive one too - all good. The French onion soup is particularly good as is the creamed spinach that goes really well with the steak and chips. A great place to go and a welcome change from Italian pasta places. Always best to book even just an hour before - by phone or online as we've been turned away a few times.

Love Cote. Always great food and great value. Try the fish stew, you won’t regret it! Atmosphere is buzzy but not too noisy. Friendly and quick service which combined with a location in the heart of theatreland make it’s a perfect pre-show choice.

Our party of four was given a very friendly welcome. We were given a choice of where to sit by a maitre-de whose obvious aim was to please the customer. Orders were taken promptly. The food was to a good standard which all in all made for a extremely enjoyable lunch time experience. Thank you.

What a delightful find right across from our theater engagement. Wonderful wait staff and superb cuisine. The pre-theater menu is thoughtfully conceived at two price point levels and the regular menu is enticing. The in-season asparagus dishes are a taste treat so enjoy while you can. Several dishes highlight this specialty - select them all! We will be returning for more of everything. Lively before the theater and quieter thereafter.

I booked a table while on the train to Charing Cross via the Côte website. All ready when I arrived. Ordered straight away and the delicious Beef Bourguinon was ready within a few minutes with a nice glass of House red. What more could I have asked for?!
