We needed a place for one of our party to celebrate a birthday. Since there were 17 of us and it was Christmastime (12/18), we picked a restaurant near our hotel. Salieri's is directly next door to Strand Palace. A reservation for this large a group was a must, but it is also recommended for smaller groups as well since this is a popular place. Our service was exceptional; we were even given a small birthday cake complete with candle, water and wine glasses which were refilled almost before you could request it. Most of us selected the set Christmas menu of turkey and dressing, which was excellent. We were allowed to linger over our coffee, and the manager spent quite a bit of time chatting with the birthday boy. Our special meal, including drinks, etc. was approx. $50 per person. Their menu offered several items in the 18-20GBP range. If you are looking for a nice, nearby (to Strand Palace) restaurant, this is a good one.
