Ian,
Relative to your "London" comments, I would greatly appreciate some dining recommendations. I'll be in Mayfair, and so far we have dined at Tamrind, Savoy House, Caviar House, Scotts, and OXO Tower. Looking at Central London, I see a few 1 star establishments, and only one 2 star, whose Web site is dead. I'm not trying to collect stars, only to find what you (I hold your opinions in esteem) would consider worth the effort. As my trip is a few months out, I'm hoping to secure dining for either 2, or 4, and would like to start ASAP. Please make a few recommendations. I have no choices made, re: cuisine, but would hope for a very wine-friendly establishment.
Since you were recently placed "on the spot," I don't wish to subject you that ordeal again, but would like to here your "must dine" suggestions.
I'll also be posting a query on wine bars in London, as I have exhausted my various booklets, and find them very lacking - possibly dated.
TIA Hunt
