La Brasserie
I have nothing negative to say about this place, they will always find you a table, the food is simple french and service is always spot on. It is like stepping into Paris for the afternoon.

Cross Keys
It is truely amazing how they produce such yummy food for upto 50 people in such a tiny kitchen. I have always liked being able to see into the kitchen, you couldnt have a more direct view than in the cross keys. Quick, easy, tastey, pleasant and reasonable. Perfect venue for catching up with old friends and possibly carrying on for a few hours more than expected!

Cheyne Walk Brasserie
The only problem with this place is getting a table. When it first opened it was the ideal venue for Sunday lunch but now it seems that you need to book 3 months in advance!!! Other than that perfect, pricey but worth every penny. Tip: arrive 1/2 an hour early and have a pre-dink or two upstairs in a bar with the most beautiful view of albert bridge.

Carpaccio
The only issue I have with Carpaccio is the seating...sardines spring to mind. It is totally obscene, it is such a shame because other than that I love it. The food, the people, the service, the atmosphere, although a little loud at times. I dont think you are allowed to complain about price in a place like carpaccio after all half the people in there are only there to be seen!

Benihana (Chelsea)
Fun, fun, fun. If the idea of sharing a large table with random people is not your thing then benihana is not for you, (unless you have lots of friends). Food is fresh and tasty, staff are attentive and friendly, the atmosphere is great but it is a little on the pricey side at the end of the night.

Bibendum
Perfect for lunch or a family dinner. The food, staff, service and surroundings are all immaculate. The atmosphere is a little stuffy but wouldnt one expect that for the price. A must.
