I travel extensively in Europe and this is the worse meal I’ve ever had at a restaurant that claimed to be French cuisine. Stay away. McDonald’s would be a better value for your money. Both the wine selection and the food were horrible.

What has happened to Cote? We had a dreadful meal on Tuesday in St Martin's Lane - the food was simply not very nice and they forgot to credit our bill as promised when we complained about the uncooked and truly awful (not) melted camembert (a manager came over and apologised and promised to take it off the bill which didn't happen and we only realised afterwards as we were in a pre-theatre rush). The steak tartare was sinewy and the 'half' chicken was a couple of fried pieces and was like school cafeteria not a West End restaurant. Wish I'd taken photos especially of the chicken. Used to be great, now is a shadow of its former self. We did have a nice waiter though who was charming, but he couldn't make up for the rest of it (low service score was thanks to the manager's reaction to the camembert and the fact we still paid for it).

Visited this restaurant before going to a show in the area. Have dinned at various Cote restaurants and enjoy the food and atmosphere Friendly and welcoming staff and as was not too busy was given choice of table. Service was good, not rushed but friendly and helpful staff Has the the platter of meats for starter - very nice with nice selection of hams and salamis - very enjoyable main was mussels with frites - good portion and very tasty and enjoyed them. Always one of my favs. Followed by a strawberry creme bruille which was very nice. A nice large glass of white wine. A very enjoyable meal in a nice environment and friendly staff. Would go back and recommend. Always good food at which ever Cote restaurant you visit

Went here to celebrate friends 80th. Was bit disappointed that even though I had mentioned it when booking online, there was no acknowledgement of the occasion for her. When we had been to Cote at Sevenoaks previously, they had given us a bottle of free Prosecco. Staff were friendly but thought some of the food portions were small. I started with the bacon salad, the croutons were soft and seemed like they had been soaked in some stock. The baked ratatouille I had seemed very unbaked - it was a shallow dish of tomato sauce, few tiny bits of aubergine, lots of white beans, no sign of onions and then on top, raw courgette slices! Not the best. My friend whose birthday it was had a salad for her main, it was on a side plate and very small. Came away feeling disappointed and not sure I would go back again.

Sadly, the food was dreadful. Three of us ordered a tuna salad and we think that there was no chef on duty as the meagre salad was drenched in dressing and the baby tomatoes had been added randomly-one person had lots, the other just one. And one tiny anchovy tucked under the tuna. Truly awful and a very poor reflection on the restaurant and London too, given the number of tourists in the restaurant

Out with friends, we needed somewhere we could rely on. The Côte in St Martins Lane was the obvious choice, clean, smart, and with quality food that you can rely on, it was an easy choice. Strangely, our waiter reminded us of ‘Ten second Tom’ from the film ‘Fifty first dates.’ We’d ask for something and then, several minutes later, we’d have to ask again. Unusual for a waiter, but he didn’t remember a single thing all night. Which meant we didn’t have a sweet, having him asked us if we were ready to order, and we saying ‘Give us a moment more’, he never came back, and we had simply gone past the need by then and asked for the bill. But we’re not there for waiters. We were there for the good food and wine, and we had that in abundance. I started with the Crab Maison, but in truth tried everyone’s starter - strange. They were all great. I then moved to the Breton Fish Stew, a regular for a Cote, and it didn’t disappoint. Filled with sea fare and really tasty. I added a little tobasco, but it was good as it was. And that was all washed down with the house white which everyone loved. Truth is, I couldn’t try anyone else’s main dish because all the plates were clean come the end, and that speaks reams. We had booked just on the cusp of the theatre goers leaving, so the restaurant was quiet and relaxed. A lovely evening and great meal, and all agreed, we’d had a good day. The Cote Brasserie finished it off for us beautifully. Huge thanks Cotes.

3rd September. Good seating position by door for four people . As regular diners at the Canterbury branch we were very disappointed with the experience here at this branch. Whitebait was majorly over cooked ( in fact very little fish remaining) The other main meals which I thought should be the same at all branches just wasn’t up to the standard. Wine waiter was good but waiting staff not so. . Also bottled water grossly expensive and warm the wine waiter did however bring us ice in a glass. .would have thought at the very least the whitebait should hve been knocked off the bill

Booked pre theatre supper here a couple of weeks back so was surprised somewhat to be shown downstairs to ‘our table. Yes it was busy as to be expected on a Saturday but not sure what the criteria is to be able to secure a ground floor table. As usual, our food was very agreeable, we had four different main courses, duck, salmon, fish pie and chicken salad. Chocolate fondant and chocolate salted caramel tart for dessert went down a treat. I think the portion sizes are a tad smaller than they used to be but that’s probably not a bad thing. What is a bad thing though is the overcharging on our bill. Two carafes of wine instead of two glasses, made quite a hefty difference. The explanation given was a change the buttons on the till. I have to say our server was effecient, and very polite, he was working mainly on his own and very apologetic when told of the error for which he quickly rectified. We’ve always been great supporters of the Cote chain, but have come away this evening slightly uncomfortable about our experience at St Martins Lane.

Our second visit to a Cote in a week and our first in London. The atmosphere was a bit more hectic than our Cote in Edinburgh and this impacted on service and atmosphere, but fortunately the food/wine was excellent. My partner had the Fish Parmentier which she thought was great, while I had the superb Confit Duck A L'Orange. Both meals were also accompanied by an excellent green salad which really set both meals off. With our meals we both had Longue Roche white wines which also were a great accompaniment to our tasty shared Cheese Board with four cheeses.

Myself and my friend arrived feeling hungry after a long walk and looking forward to a tasty French meal. It is a lovely restaurant with pleasant and efficient staff. I ordered Fish Parmentier from the main menu and was presented with the tiniest, shallowest of dishes I have ever seen as a main meal. This was disappointing and certainly did not warrant the pretty steep price. You need to do better than this Côte to secure return visits from your customers.

Arrived at 17:12pm .. were served 3 courses, drinks , used the bathroom and out by 17:55pm. They have a children's menu but if you're one adult with 2 kids I expect like us they will want you in and out. Been to this cote many times with adult friends and never had this happen, when we are ordering lots of drinks to go with the meal.. Food was good and value for money as always.. but the speed our courses were turned around in and how quickly the table was cleared made us feel very unwelcome. Won't be visiting with my grandchildren again any time soon.. 43minutes must be an all time record.

The hostess, Sofia who on as a hostess now as I type at 16:45 is the rudest women and incredibly hostile. I gave my name and arrival time of 17:15 I was early so thought I'd have a drink first as it is never fully seated at this time, I was answered sharply with we are fully booked we're always fully booked. To which I replied yes, but when I come in at this time there are always seats so coming in earlier isn't an issue. She then asked me twice if I booked the right venue because she couldn't find my name, I spelt it twice, then without apology said she found it because she was looking at quarter to five even though I said five fifteen. She should be serving steak with the chip she had on her shoulder. Its a disgrace to walk in , do no wrong and be 'greeted with an attitude. I want a reply to this.

Have been here a few times and unfortunately tonight the service was disappointing. My main course arrived and was not what was ordered - wrong vegetables and no sauce. Rather than take the plate away, it was left in front of me for almost 10 minutes. The food got cold and when I asked for an update the waiter said angrily he had “been in the kitchen 3 times” following up for me. Not ok !

Had lunch with my husband and a friend. Husband had rather a small Confit of Duck. Fortunately he has a small appetite. Our friend ordered the Salmon dish and we were all alarmed at the small portion. Looked rather like a largish Fish Finger. When it was mentioned to 2 waitresses it was shrugged off and not taken seriously. We really should have asked to see the manager. Unfortunately you have lost 2 regular customers.

Very good food and wine selection. The duck in orange sauce as well as the pre fixe steak (up grade to the sirloin well worth it) were delicious. Moules Frites were good but sauce could have had a bit more wine added to make it exceptional. The crepe with cherries was nothing exceptional - just a dab of cherry compote and chocolate sauce ( I should have tried the cheese plate) but the chocolate mouse was good. House Cabernet was very good. Service was excellent and very friendly.

Visited with friends before a performance nearby. We all had different meals (Pork belly, fish pie to name two) all said the food was good and presented well. If we had one criticism as a party it was that the portions are not that big and certainly smaller, then some nearby establishments we have used. The deserts are also very limited in choice so in my opinion is part of the menu I think could be improved. In saying that the desserts chosen were very good, The prices are about the same as nearby restaurants overall and the staff very friendly and attentive. I would certainly try the restaurant again if in the area.

Very conveniently situated near to Trafalgar Square, this is one of my favorite restaurants to visit when I'm in Central London. The Set Lunch is good value at £18.50 for 2 courses and £22.50 for 3 courses.I had the Charcuterie Board as a starter, Seabass for my main & Ice Cream & Sorbet for dessert, accompanied by a large glass of Rose wine and a flat white coffee. All the food was excellent - well cooked & beautifully presented. The waitress who served me was Sylvia and she was excellent. Some people may find it daunting to go into a restaurant on their own for a meal but Sylvia was very friendly, welcoming & attentive. Other staff stopped by my table to say hello & check that everything was alright. Well done to them all.

This was the most wonderful dining experience that we’ve had so far in London. Our server, Frank, was amazing and he was so kind. The food was absolutely delicious. For me, the absolute highlight was the way that this restaurant deals with food allergies. They asked me if I had any food allergies as they seated us, and when I replied that I do, they brought over a tablet that listed all of the ingredients used in each recipe, and further broke down the ingredients for the ingredients to the ingredients, for example, all of the ingredients of vegetable stock that they use in their recipes were listed. The impact of this had me so happy, comfortable, and confident that my meal was completely allergen free 😊 highly recommend this restaurant!

Good food but service was badly lacking. e.g. Kids meal says "choose a main and a side." We chose "steak frites" but couldn't get a side of broccoli with that because the frites (seemingly an intégral part of the main menu item) was already considered a side. Manager's explanation "the steak-frites on the kids menu is new." 🤷🏻♀️ Broccoli still don't appear. Overcharged initially on the bill; we spot that and it gets corrected. Then, when paying our bill of £63, one person pays £33 and the second person (me) fortunately spots that they've charged me for £36. It takes longer than it really should - and for another manager to come over - before they cancel that transaction and charge me the remaining £30. That said, the weekday prix fixe and the kids menu is really well priced, tasty and with good options so I will be back to a Côte soon, just not this one.

I do not recommend this. Ordered a minute steak, wasn’t able to cut through it. Like rubber. Salad was tasteless. It tasted like they put some mayo and soured cream together and tossed the salad in it. Apparently there was a chef issue. They brought me another steak. It was dry. They should take this off the menu. It’s a cheap steak but it can’t really hit the mark of being cooked properly because of the thinness. The server told me there was an issue with a chef in training. This was a disappointment and it was sad I could have actually had a great meal elsewhere. They need a proper chef here. The location is great, so close to St Paul’s Cathedral. The fries were decent 7/10. They felt bad and brought me a second order of fries. They are trying but the food needs a boost.

Clean and decent place. While passing to reach the metro we were attracted by the take away promotion which is tempting compared to the others. We had the pleasure of being welcomed by two Italian guys who recommended the proposals closest to our Italian breakfast. However good the espresso coffee is, it is far from the flavor we are used to, but it is normal to happen abroad. Kind, friendly and helpful! Good value for money for breakfast out in London. We will return during these days of stay in London given the monster accommodation near St Paul's Cathedral!!

I have no words to thank Kimberly and Cristian for the way they treated us and suggested certain cocktails to experience the restaurant, as well as the location and views they offered us. We will definitely return (but with the same waiters)!!!!
