Me and the wife both have birthdays close together in January, so instead of buying presents in advance, for last few years we have always had joint celebration at the weekend in the middle of both our birthdays. We normally stay up town in a nice hotel, have a nice meal, and do a bit of sale shopping the next day.

However this year we have 6 month old son to consider, and London sale shopping is not very baby friendly so we have decided to have just a Sunday day out instead of a whole night and day out.
Mother-in-Law will look after little one while we are out for the day.

We will do some sale shopping first, and then have a meal about 3pm, we have managed to get bookings in both of the above restaurants for 3pm, and now need to cancel one of them.

So which one?

Both are good and quite classical in their style

Consider L'escargot as well? Especially upstairs....

Neither.
Do the Bourdin Blanc, Mayfair.

Of those two, the savoy is better.

You wasn't even a member when that was funny, and I don't really remember anyone joking about someones wife in such a way. Seems a bit personal to me.

About as intelligent as your retarded waffle on the winter tyre threads.

Anyway looks like it will be the Savoy, was looking at the "Sample Menu" earlier which has swung it for me.

Thanks chaps.

I went to the Savoy Grill on the day it re-opened. You'll have a great time.
Little review I put together is here

The main hotel staff were a bit too keen. However the staff in the Grill were excellent, just friendly enough without being familiar, there when you need them invisible when you didn't.

yikes all out of my league... love the Orrery on Mareybolne High Street ... best when not over busy, the cheese board is amicing (especially with the right waiter)

I thought it was a banning offence these days.

or even Le Boudin Blanc?

ETA: FFS, lighten up about the Oxo Tower business. It's a joke!

Of the 2 suggested by the OP, I'd go for The Savoy Grill every time. Went there just before Christmas and had an excellent meal. My only other input would be that if you do go for the Savoy Grill and it's just the 2 of you, ask for a table in the centre of the room rather than one of the tables for 2 lined up along the left hand wall, which were placed far too close together for my liking at least.

Great restaurant....always packed for a reason. Great atmosphere but some tables are very close together.
