Well don't Sushi then you wally!

I normally don't! Soooooo many lovely dishes!!! you must have black cod and always finish with Bento box. Other must have dishes are Shrimp Tempora with Ponzo yummy! and new style shrimp Softshell crab... hmmmm

The tasting menu at Gordon Ramseys is always an experience. The Royal Hospital one is shut right now though so you would have to eat at Claridges and its not quite as good. Still a top place.

Zuma is great food and lively setting. But Food is again Japanese Fusion. Better setting than Nobu. I like this place ALOT

Food is crap in Sketch but funky setting and maddest toilets in London

There really are soooo soooo many though...

Hakkasan has really funky bar and decent food (chinesey stuff) I would suggest you try here if you aren't willing to try Nobu or Zuma

Good shout Zed - round St Christopher's place and James' Street, there are some lovely restaurants that aren't expensive, but serve some lovely food at normal prices......

Had a meal at a place called Mimosa on James Street the other night - not pricey and really really nice!

Other places I like are The Lightship - restaurant on an old converted lightship moored at St Katherine's Dock - a little pricey, but good menu and you can get some proper deals online:

Also my favourite restaurant ever, purely for the Steak and chips, Rowleys on Jermyn Street

It is dark inside yes.

If you just want a good steak... the new Gaucho Grill near Broadgate is excellent!

BUT what would impress a young lady or a potential client more...

a) knowledge and experience of fine food and drinks in the best London eateries

Or

b) a Collection of POSTERS of shite 1980's boyracer Fords...

No meal imo is worth 250 quid mate cant agree. There is no food in this world that could taste 250 quid...

Looking at those websites PON posted they look really nice restaraunts and are good prices... So why pay more if the foods bang on there? Nice setting...etc etc ... Thats what i mean by pretentious...paying 250 cos its 250 not cos its worth 250......
