Noura Lounge
I love the food here, the dishes are pretty tasty. What I cant get over is the shabby service (regardless of which branch you go to).. I wish the staff were friendlier and trained

Franco's
Excellent service and a delicious meal. The veal was outstanding following by a traditional tiramisu equally as good. The prices are a little on the steep side, especially wine by the glass.

Chutney Mary
Dinner for 2 using toptable points for 1 diner. We went for the tasting menu, which is the best way to go. Not one of those menus that leave you an empty stomach. this was very filling yet extremely well elaborated. Sea Bass with spices, roasted lamb with mint sauce, atlantic scallop with pistachio sauce... outstanding! Try the cocktails. The non-alcoholic cocktails are also very good.

Aqua Kyoto
Youll love it here. Amazing drinks and a great space to people watch. The food is no better than you would get in Cha Cha Moon, but its all about the atmosphere.. which you pay over the odds for. Have pre dinner drinks on the balcony if you can.

Sketch Gallery
Its one of those restaurants that you must try... the menu is nothing special, all the classic dishes.. but you go here for the amazing well prepared drinks and the good looking crowd. I think Thursdays are best

Pollen Street Social
hidden away just of of Regent Street, this is a little gem. We arrived a little early, however the staff were friendly and welcoming. The bar has a comfortable seating area where we enjoyed a pre dinner drink. Decor reminded me of the seventies, and tables a little too close for anyone wanting an intimate setting. Well designed menu, food excellent, wine list mostly Italian, perhaps a little pricey but we found an excellent red. Full marks. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

Petrus
We had the Perfect Match menu for lunch at Petrus which was 5 courses & 3 matching wines for £50 & all of it was 'perfect'! The salmon and lobster ravioli was fabulous! Staff were very attentive (perhaps a little too much at times). The sommelier certainly knew his stuff & the wine list was extensive. It was a little stuffy on the ambiance when we arrived but livened up a bit later. Monday perhaps not the best day to go for that. Normal prices would make it quite expensive but worth it!

Amaya
We had lunch in Amaya, London and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were very attentive, the food beautifully cooked and perfectly spiced. I strongly recommend trying it!

The Restaurant at Belgraves
Nice food. Will probably go back, mostly for the scene. Food is good but overpriced, as you are paying for the buzz.
