Dont know where outs in London you are, but try this site.http://www.toptable.co.uk/
You get some great deals, it costs u nothing to join, and you get to review the venue and read other diners comments. North Pole Piano Bar and Grill in Greenwich is one of our absolute favourites! Funky bar, romantic restaurant upstairs and a slightly spaceage club in the basement! Enjoy!

Matsuri is nice, a teppanyaki restaurant and they have them all over London. I can thoroughly recommend the prawn tempura, steak teppanyaki and flaming icecream!

Chair is also nice for a more general upmarket menu...http://www.urbanpath.com/london/british/chair-restaurant.htm.

The Mint Leaf is the place to be for an indian...http://www.london-eating.co.uk/3486.htm

Elysium at The Cafe Royal in Picadilly (round the corner from Chinawhite) is lovely to and a great night out depending on your budget.

Zilli fish is good for fish...http://www.zillialdo.com/intro2.htm.

For something a bit different and if you like Jazz, Ronnie Scott's is a great night out and they do food but best to book...http://www.ronniescotts.co.uk/.

If you have a big budget somewhere like Claridges goes down well...http://www.claridges.co.uk/restaurants_and_bars/default.asp.

If you chose here check the prices before you go, when I last went (on a Saturday night) we had a VIP table with hostess service but it was �20.00 each into the club and �500.00 minimum spent for the table and hostess.

There were 10 of us so we could split it, our bar bill was over �700.00 but we were on Magnums of Moet all night.

It was work related before you think i'm some mad IT girl wannabe with more money than sense :) Great night out though!

My boyfriend took me to a Gordon Ramsay restaurant called Maze. It's on Grosvenor Square in Mayfair. It was absolutely delicious and the service was great. Book ahead because it gets busy. We went for lunch and spent �80 including a glass of wine each. They have a tapas like menu, and also a la carte. We had the tapas and what it is is you get starter, main course and desserts in small portions to try a variety of dishes. You can order 3-4 or 4-5 dishes depending on how hungry you are and they cost around �7 to �10 each. We had a lovely time, and it was definately somewhere special to celebrate our anniversary.
