Côte - St Martin's Lane

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.

Good food but service not so good as at Sloane Square on Saturday. Not enough staff and perhaps not trained too well because they all seemed to be running around chasing their tails and bumping into each other and the customers.

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!

Great food as always, freshly cooked and delicious. We went pre-theatre so it was very busy and quite noisy. Had to wait longer than usual for food but service is good. Tables in this restaurant are very close together.

Great food and first-class service. The early evening set menu is particularly good value and the wine list is varied and reasonably priced - but it would be nice if they offered carafes.

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!

Very pleasant service, our friendly Spanish waiter made sure we were served on time and had enough time to have our three courses before rushing to the theatre. Lovely meal and great deserts

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but efficient. Excellent, attentive service: courteous and helpful. One particular detail that was appreciated (and is all too rare in restaurants) the staff pointed out any dishes that were not available in giving us the menus. The range of the meals on offer (set menu and specials) is first rate as is the preparation and presentation of the food. The perfect post-theatre experience, our meal was a great end to a great evening.

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

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.

Cote is always good value. Staff very friendly. Four of us ate here and all our meals were of good quality. I joined their reward scheme on line and got a free bottle of wine.

Another good and good value meal with pleasant service at Cote in St Martins Lane. The set menu had almost complete;y changed from a couple of weeks ago.

Excellent meal- 4 of us enjoyed lunch both from the set lunch menu and the a la carte . Great friendly staff, attentive but not pushy despite the fact it was very busy. Returning soon !

The set menu is always good value. The special offers are usually with the a la carte so it is still better value to have the set menu plus a glass of wine. Can be noisy as ceilings are low.

Close to a number of theatres and a good, well priced pre theatre meal menu offered. Generally quick and cheerful service. Busy so pre book.

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.

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

Excellent food and service in a very well run restaurant, will certain visit again whenever in London. A very nice atmosphere too. Full marks to everyone.

Hi , we all had the fixed price menu - 2 items for 12.99 or 3 for £14 ,. They were fine in and of themselves but not particularly filling .you need to order extra sides really to leave the table full

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.

Everything up to the usual high standard. Extremely good value for money (set, pre-theatre meal). Only problem: the pea soup could have been hotter (we should have sent it back).

Great location and this wasn't my first time dining here. Service was a little slow and one part of our order was forgotten, though generally reliable. Extremely busy at pre-theatre time

Excellent service as usual. Superb staff and service. Courteous and attentive at all times. Ashwan, the manager, is obviously very respected by his staff and his enthusiasm is contagious.

very good service, and delicious food,a big thank you cote we will be back for more hopefully very soon, well done at cote ST MARTINS LANE

Good food , set menu has wide choice . Very busy restaurant you need to book as they were full on Wednesday lunch time .

Service fast, food tasty. Only downside was the noise and at my request they turned the music down and this helped the 'talk level' to decrease too.

quickly seated at a busy time-food was very nice(pate starter,duck and pork mains)good selection of wines,we chose the Bordeaux,which was excellent. The service was very good,full marks to our waitress(Sylvia)

Good value for money especially with the free bottle of wine. Wouldn't have the beetroot salad again though. Under-cooked and bland. The fish pie was ok but the sauce was thin

Have eaten here several times before and enjoyed the experience. On this occasion service was poor, with steaks not cooked to order and having to be returned and an incorrect bill at the end. All resolved amicably and will return to give them another chance!

Service slow and chaotic. Waited 20 minutes for coffee, and when we asked for the Bill waited another 20 minutes. Otherwise food excellent as usual.

Love using this venue - always great food , good atmosphere and very friendly service . We can't fault it for value for money given the central location

Great breakfast brunch! However, we were disappointed that we were not able to order from the lunch menu - it was not clear lunch was not served till noon.

Great meal here, as ever. Staff always friendly even though the place is always mobbed. Decent value and my duck confit was scrumptious. My husband had the baked camembert, which came with a generous helping of fresh crusty bread for dipping, and was pronounced very tasty.

Excellent meal and very good service. The restaurant was full which for an early lunch was surprising, the waiting staff kept on top of everything with a smile.

Perfect pre dinner meal, great atmosphere. lots of other venues are available too mostly right next to the theatres. food was tasty,fresh,hot and served quickly, great prices too.

Restaurant in good location for theatres and London n9ght life. Good food and overall nice experience staff friendly and attentive would go back again and can recommend to others.

We went yesterday to this restaurant after we reserved with Wyandot. The starters wete ok, the mains were excellent and so was the service. The restaurant has a live atmosphere

Excellent for a pre-theatre meal 2 or 3 courses are very tasty and good value. The service is fast so you can be in and out in less than an hour

The restaurant was busy with early evening customers. Our food was well prepared, the service was friendly but not over attentive, the fixed price menu choices were good and excellent value for central London.

Excellent staff, helpful and very friendly. Menu full of choice and very tasty. Excellent value for money on the lunchtime special, would certainly recommend booking.

Yummy food perfect service. And what would we do without all these wonderful EU staff that bring such quality and character to our London restaurants?

Cote food and service was as good as ever. But it was packed and down in the basement the noise was deafening which spoilt the experience.
