has anyone eaten at gordon ramsay's new place at claridge's? i live in london and am trying to book a nice dinner for my husband's birthday-had heard about mirabelle-heard mixed things. and wasn't sure if gordon's new rest. will be too new to have broken things in. any ideas?

We liked Caprice and Tante Claire and the oyster bar at Bibidum

I second the opinion about the Churchill Arms--on Kensington Church Street!! I am love Thai food and they had excellent Pad Thai! It was very inexpensive also--I think it was about 5.50 for a large plate!

Gordon Ramsey at The Claridge. A class act. <BR><BR>

Try Wagamama's.<BR>http://www.wagamama.com/<BR>Its not very expensive and you get a lot for your money. Its not the place for an intimate dinner for two but its definitely great food and something different. Check out the website for their locations. Mmmmm...I want some Wagamama's now!

Amy, Check out the website chowhound.com ("for those who live to eat"). Although it's primarily for NYC, there are lots of threads elsewhere including London. The regulars posting from London aren't particularly wild about Gordon Ramsay's new place. But may be an interesting read to see if it helps with your decision.

thanks for the suggestions-and cathy i will check out the site-as well as the toptable one someone else suggested. that's been part of the problem actually, so many different critiques. some raves some rants-you guys know what it's like-everyone inevitably has a different experience. i guess the trick is to find some consistent reviews. the dinner isn't till the 23rd but i'll post afterwards what the choice was and how it was!

Rules rules. I made that up. Rules has the best rack of lamb for two you will ever have. I can't wait to have it again.
