Good sized space, so you don't feel too crowded, even when busy. Very good service, and food excellent! We both enjoyed our visit, and felt the bill was reasonable too.

3 courses for £13.95. Choice was amazing and quality was superb. Portion size was good although we did have two additional vegetable dishes at £2.95 each. Good service and a great location. Definitely recommend Cote and I will be using them again.

The tables, especially ones for 2 people are really squashed in into the restaurant, had a negative effect on my experience. Also, we felt the waitress was really rushed off her feet- maybe hire more wait staff?

It was, as expected very busy for pre theatre dinner, service was good at first and then slowed down, so we ended up rushing! We ordered the bill at the same time as the dessert; the bill came but the dessert didn't! We had to leave without our dessert. Not happy.

We arrived for a pre theatre booking at 17:45 and were immediately seated. The Pre theatre meal is very good value. The restaurant filled up very quickly and although it seemed chaos everything was served like clockwork by the extremely hard working staff. The food was superb too. We will be back. Highly recommended!

Pre -Theatre looks good value based on my observation of other guests - went for the a la carte which though slightly more expensive was tasty and of the quantity required. Service good 66 wine well priced.

Another disappointing experience on the pre-theatre set menu (only 1 of us had it). The restaurant is under staffed for this very busy period so the service is very poor. The food was below standard sadly too. We ordered coffee. It took 20 minutes to arrive and it was very cold when it did. I finally managed to attract a waitress and ask her to replace it ... which she did. The second one was also cold but we were not in the mood to complain. Optional service was (as always) already included in the bill so ... what is optional about that?!? Do they really think people would ask for it to be removed and the whole payment slip done again when you have the machine in your hands. I am so loyal to Cote and am beginning to wonder why. It can be a great experience but it can equally be very poor ... as it was today.

The staff are friendly and efficient and the service is very good. The food arrives quickly and is delicious with a good selection, and on warm plates which to me is essential. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will certainly be returning. The only reason that I gave a 5 instead of a 6 was because the tables are too close together.

The seabass was good but uninspiring. A bit dry, it should be accompanied with half a lemon and vegetables, offering a variety of options and not just puree (rice often comes with fish). Suggest a glass of white whine with it for extra £3

Exceptional food, great location and attentive staff. The calamari was cooked so well it melted in the mouth and the duck and pork belly dishes were full of flavour. Presented with flair too. Highly recommended.

Just returned from a delicious lunch at Cote St Martins. The food was delightful and the service First Class. Fortunately we were there at a "quiet" time and seated in an equally nice quiet corner. One of the current specials is Grilled Place and it was wonderful and recommended.
