One of London's oldest restaurants received a stylish revamp – not so much breathing life into an ailing institution, as a whole new look and personality. The seafood menu is superior and the esteemed crowd difficult to match. The upscale maritime-themed interiors welcome guests at the ground floor tables or the buzzy, central Oyster Bar. The dishes are simple and superb. Standouts include seared scallops with celeriac and garlic, rock oysters with all the trimmings, or silver-tiered fruits de mer. TUBE: Bond Street
