Me and a friend are having an awayday in that there London on Wednesday. Going to be quite a nice day as I'm picking up a new watch too.

Anyway, we usually go for a blowout dinner before heading back up north on the train. We've been to a few decent places in the past. The Savoy, Maze Grill and Goodman to name a few. We always end up returning back to JW Steakhouse in the Grosvenor hotel though. The dining room is massive and really atmospheric with high ceilings and the service is great too. The huuugeee steaks are amazing though. They always have the bigger steaks listed on chalkboards by the 100g.

Here's the menu. http://www.jwsteakhouse.co.uk/menu/dinner.html

I'm thinking of having jumbo shrimp on ice (to share) as a starter, tomahawk steak or a large porterhouse (to share) got to be at least 1.1kg, truffle fries, creamed spinach, mac and cheese. Either the cheesecake or pecan pie to finish and a Kentucky coffee to round things off. Cocktail as an apertif and maybe a few glasses of Malbec to wash it down with.

For a bit of fun, what would you guys go for?

Smoked salmon to start with a medium 10 oz fillet steak with bourbon peppercorn sauce and seasonal new potatoes for main.

Washed down with a good few premium beers and a whisky to finish smile

To be honest, if I was looking at the menu in front of the restaurant and deciding whether to go in, I'd go elsewhere, as the Americanisms make my skin crawl, but if I had my arm twisted, it would be Beef Carpaccio followed by Sea Bream with truffle chips.

I do like steak, but most of the stuff I've had in the States has been flavourless crap which puts all the focus on texture rather than flavour, so God only knows why they'd want to import the bloody stuff into the UK! There's plenty of places they could've sourced their steak from (not least of which the UK) which would've served up far more flavour.

I would go down the road to the Hilton and have the thirty quid three course lunch menu.

Amazing food, amazing views and cheap as chips. You even get a drink.

I would go for the Rustic Tomato and Parmesan Soup to start. 8oz fillet medium, béarnaise sauce with a baked potato (sour cream, spring onions and bacon) and rocket and parmesan on the side. If I had room, I would go for the apple pie for dessert.
