Smollensky's on the Strand review by Anon

For my friend's birthday I organised a surprise birthday party for her at Smollensky's on the Strand. She had been to the Green Park one when it was Smollensky's Balloon and had really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Anyway I booked a table two weeks in advance and was helped by a polite and helpful receptionist who offered suggestions and options to enhance our reservation. Not only did they book a table for us for 8 people but reserved a bar booth for after dinner so we could stay and enjoy the (excellent) live music afterwards. On arrival at he restaurant (we arrived early so we could all get into place for the birthday girl) we found that smollensky's had put balloons on the table and when the birthady girl arrived thay were very discreet in not mentioning it was a birthday. The food and service were excellent thoughout. I had the lemon and thyme chicken which was succulent and delicous. When they brought out the pre-orederd birthday and the (amazigng) birthday sparkler, it turned into a real occasion, with people at the next table clapping. After dinner we retired to our bar boot near the band and drank cocktails. We had such a great evening ( my friend has alread said she wants next years party here) and I look forward to my next visit. Thanks Smollensky's for a truly memorable evening.
