I decided last night that I am going to have my birthday this year at a posh London restaurant, possibly a celeb one... My friend Vanessa said that her and her boyfriend would come, hopefully James can make it... and I'll invite a couple of others.

Soooooo I need some recommendations?

Yes I will... have been looking at Claridge's, £70 for 3 courses... looks like this is in the running though.

Does posh mean good though? Is the brand what you'll be paying for?

I've been looking at the reviews... if the food wasn't good I wouldn't go! I saw some reviews on Fifteen, Jamie O's place but they weren't that good!

What about Mr Ramsey? I have no idea what places he has, as I don't watch the programmes....

Yes, he has Claridge's which is the one I'm looking at... Mark Saergent is the head chef there, and apparently did his training at West Kent College and also worked at a place in Faversham... only fair to support a local!

I wouldn't always base my restaurant choice on the reviews online. These are some I have been to and can recommend:

Clos Maggiore
Passione - Gennaro Contaldo's restaurant.
The French Table - my all time fav which is Surbiton (where I live) and we frequent regularly. I also had my 32nd b'day here (last year).
Chez Bruce - had my 31st b'day here.
Wodka - Geoff had his 30th here.
Baltic - been a few times and its always been good. Sister restaurant to Wodka.
Pasha
Hampton's Restaurant - had my 30th here.

Hope that helps! Will let you know if I think of anymore!
