La Perla (11 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 1RQ)

A real surprise in Covent Garden, great cocktail menu, Happy Hour is great value for money as well. The frozen margaritas are pre-made, but the margaritas on the rocks are individually made, and well made.

Service in the bar can be mixed, but in the restaurant cannot be faulted. Restaurant is small, as the kitchen is open plan, so booking is essential. Food can be a little slow, again as it is open plan and small, so expect to take your time and enjoy the drinks.

The food is also very good, the chicken wings are the best I have ever had, the fajita's are also huge portions so come early.

The Greenhouse (27a Hay's Mews, London, W1J 5NY)

Had a very enjoyable lunch, the menu did seem to have Basil in VERY course, from the bread rolls to the desert.

Service was good, but slightly disappointed that we had to ask for the wine and water to be topped up a number of times. Food was well presented, not rushed or to slow either, allowed us to have a enjoyable lunch at a pace that suited us, rather than the restaurant kitchen.

Sommelier was also very good at recommending wine by the glass and the bottle. The request for a sweet wine was listened to exactly and the request was very well fulfilled.

Slightly pricey but for this caliber not surprising.

The Square (6-10 Bruton Street, London, London, W1J 6PU)

One of the best restaurants in London in my opinion. Food is fantastic, Service is impeccable. The staff are incredibly attentive without being over-bearing.

The small touches make this place one of my favorites. Ordering an additional course to share, and it coming on two plate already, the leg of lamb coming out before being carved make the service feel special.

Also found the service to be adapted per table, making us more relaxed as it was a personal dinner, without the level of service dropping. Remembering my wife's birthday and having a cake ready was also an unexpected surprise.
