I have to be completely honest…I would definately think twice before coming here again. The bar was really busy so they advised us that we couldn't have a drink and needed to go straight to the table…they then ignored us and we waited in the lobby whilst about 3 or 4 other members of staff asked us to go and sit in the bar…it was all very confusing until they worked out what was happening and who we were and then a table was found for us immediately in the bar. The food was really good,…but I have also paid a lot less and had just as good food. Celeb spotting for those who enjoy that kind of thing was one of the highest (we dined on a Friday night) but the service just really lacked.

I heart Bar Boulud! I have been a couple of times and completely forgot to review…my most recent visit I had the Birthday Burger which was to die for…simply amazing…so much so that I ate it so slowy to savour every part of it! The service has now been awarded with Best Front of House and they really do look after you…I can honestly say I haven't had a bad experience yet…I'm offered a newspaper if dining alone…drinks are never left empty for too long etc. Its such a fab place to have lunch…you can almost hear certain tables making money as they eat…really great vibe about the restaurant

I'm glad I came here to see what all the fuss was about…I'm not if I would choose to come back if I'm completey honest. The wine by the glass came in what looked like a small beaker and wasn't very cold…The food was honestly just a little over average. I say little over because I really liked the breadsticks! We got looked after very well but I think the same would not apply if I came again with different company. The atmosphere was good – nice and busy…informal but still quite classy if that makes sense! There are nicer Italians out there!

Nobu Berkeley St (15 Berkeley Street, London, London, W1J 8DY) Would definately recommend the Bento Boxes – I had the regular one and it was the best of everything…the Rock Shrimp Tempura was delicious…the black cod as usual was fab! I much prefer this Nobu to Nobu LA – maybe just cos its London! Staff were normal…Nobu normal that is! I love the atmosphere – a real mix of people and its always chatty / laughy and buzzy. Can't wait for the roadworks to be finished outside though!

Pétrus (1 Kinnerton Street, London, London, SW1X 8EA) Still my favourite from the Ramsay group! JP looked after us a TREAT and you always feel very special when you dine there. Food was amazing and the wine matched perfectly. The Pork Belly…well i'm still thinking about it now! The Chefs table is amazing…really interactive – you can be as involved as you want and looks like a great night out! Atmosphere…lots of tables booked but all speaking in mumours so we felt a little afraid to laugh at some points but JP forced some of his jokes out and I couldn't help myself! Would definately recommend this as a must for anyone wanting to try out one of the Ramsays

Atmosphere was great, really buzzy, lots of laughter. Service I have to say wasn't amazing…we got ignored on quite a few occasions and its so embarassing trying to catch the waiters eye and failing! We were a party of 6 and were sat on one of the round tables in the middle and were constantly jogged in our chairs by busy staff…I would much prefer next time to sit around the outside. Food was lovely and I was lucky enough that Stuart came out and recommended a few bits so I was not disappointed with what I had… The Chefs table looked great fun – one of the best I've seen (apart from Petrus!)

The Gilbert Scott (St Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, Euston Road, London, London, NW1 2AR) I went for one of the soft launches and was very very very impressed. The building itself was fantastic. It really made me look all around with amazement rather than just focus on the main restaurant. The menu is really good fun – instead of knowing exactly what each dish is – it really started up different conversations on everybodys opinion of what they though the definition was! Our waitress came over and put our arguements to rest and explained what we needed her to in great detail. I had the Yorkshire fishcakes to start with…I wish I had been more adventurous as they were amazing but they were similar to many great fishckaes I've had before. The Seabass was A.Mazing. I was really impressed. For dessert I had the snow eggs…simply to see what it looked like and how it was presented. It was nice but very very very sweet! Overall I would definately return and can't wait to try out some more things on the menu!

Spice Market (W Hotel, 10 Wardour Street, London, W1D 6QF) I haven't been to the NYC Spice Market so this is purely based on London… When you think of the words Spice Market…you think of hustle / bustle and buzzy…unfortunately the restaurant was very quiet – despite one of my colleagues being told they were full for lunch. Although it didn't really matter, it just didn't seem to fit the decor that there were only a few tables filled. The food was good – Pork Satay was lovely…Lobster Pad Thai was to die for! I also very much enjoyed the Ginger Margarita also! The ‘Chefs table(s)’ aren't really chefs tables…just tables in front of the kitchen with not much privacy. The private dining room however was wonderful and looked like you could have a great time in there.
