"If you’re an MP or a proud tartan enthusiast, Boisdale is the restaurant for you. If you’re not either of those but are on the lookout for great steak near Victoria station, then Boisdale will also work. The old-school Scottish restaurant serves haggis, whole grilled lobsters, and hefty slabs of prime rib-eye. The dining room can feel a little serious, so for a more raucous time head downstairs for live jazz, oysters, and cocktails instead. They also have a cigar terrace if Cubans are your thing." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
