Joking aside, we had a great meal there, although a few years ago now.
Steak wise, I've really enjoyed both Barbecoa and Goodman's in the past:

With London Bridge so close to Bank and the businesses round there, you really should be spoiled for choice, but not on a weekend. There are some great options in Borough Market if it's open when you're going, you could just sample loads of bits and bobs there?
Coq darArgent is pretty good, 5 min walk from the N side just off the Bank junction. Gardens/terraces are good too if the weather's nice

Restaurant Story - horrible website so here's a review instead https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/...
Insanely expensive. Insanely good. Possibly the best meal I've ever eaten. And yes, it's a tasting menu.

He seems to be the definition of marmite in the industry, his new place "Ours" has got some salivating and some laughing at him.

A little bit further in to the city, but well worth the walk

Smiths = good. 30min walk from the South side of Lon. Br though.
Pont = was OK 16yrs ago but I always preferred the Chop House next door (lived above them for a couple of years - enjoyed the Bengal Clipper for a fish curry too many times).
CdA = better for drinks than food IMO (as long as you're not feeling depressed)
Goodmans = top notch (I prefer it to Hawksmoor just about. But the latter's good too)
Roast = slightly better than average. Wouldn't be upset if I never ate there again
Taz = more low rent decor wise but great food
Aqua (Shard) = worth it for a one time only
Tapas Brindisa = lovely tapas but can be a ball ache getting a table
Or just go and have too many Harvey's Sussex Best in the Market Porter and nip into the market for a variety of snacks (the empanada stall opposite is very good).

Black & Blue in Borough Market if you like your steaks.

The only problem with that option Murph is that it would probably necessitate a visit to the foulest smelling toilets on the planet in the Porter's basement ![hurl](/inc/images/hurl.gif)

The trick is not to break the seal until you're at the point where you don't care ![hurl](/inc/images/hurl.gif)

Ref Black and Blue... I've eaten there twice and thought it was OK but no more than that. I'd rather drop more money on Hawksmoor or Goodmans.
Though after a session in the MP the difference is somewhat less relevant!

Fenchurch at the top of the Walkie Talkie is less of a grockle magnet than much of the fayre in SE1. Have a sherry at Jose first before the stroll over
