				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9285" title="&quot;The Tomahawk&quot; rib eye steak" src="http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tomahawk_blog.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" />Last night I attended the launch party for new restaurant <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/eat/london-restaurant-news/2010/05/jw-steakhouse-comes-to-mayfair">JW Steakhouse</a> at <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/accommodation/detail/610779">Grosvenor House</a> hotel in Mayfair. As lucky guests we were able to sample much of the menu in canapé form, or by helping ourselves to platefuls of food canteen style!</p>
<p>The American steakhouse&#8217;s menu is centred (unsurprisingly) around beef. But not just any beef, this is USDA prime corn-fed Kansas beef and select cuts of Aberdeen Angus. The signature steak is &#8220;The Tomahawk&#8221;, a 32 ounce, on-the-bone rib eye.</p>
<p>I tasted the Aberdeen Angus, cooked rare, and, although I often get overenthusiastic about steaks and declare they&#8217;re the best I&#8217;ve ever eaten, this one really is up there.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to describe everything else without drooling uncontrollably but I&#8217;ll try! Delicious rich crab cakes, salty rock oysters, mini burgers and mustardy steak tartar.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s not much choice for vegetarians on the menu apart from salads (again, not surprising at a steak house) but personally, I wouldn&#8217;t have minded eating a whole plate of side dishes as they were so <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9321" title="Guests line up for food at JW Steakhouse" src="http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/jw_food.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /> good; bourbon sweet potato mash with marshmallow crust, buttery mash, green beans and sautéed wild mushrooms.</p>
<p>And then to desserts, I tried whoopee pie with Bailey&#8217;s milk shake &#8211; a bit like the adult equivalent of Oreo cookies and milk. Whoopie pies look like a macaroon but are made of two pieces of round chocolate sponge with frosting in between. They were sweet and yummy and the Bailey&#8217;s milkshake took the edge off the richness.</p>
<p>Other desserts I saw but was too full to try included a JW cheesecake and carrot cake. They were being snapped up off the plates though so I&#8217;m sure they were just as tasty.</p>

<p>If you like a room with a view and taking several hours over your lunch, then <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/7164217">Altitude 360</a> is definitely worth a visit. The Westminster-based events venue is now open to the public on Sundays, serving up brunch with a 360-degree <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/venues/top-10-panoramic-views-feature">panoramic view across London</a>.</p>
<p>High up on the 29th floor of the Millbank Tower, we played the most amazing game of eye spy while we dined; <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/401836">The Houses of Parliament</a>, <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/visitingandtours/bigben.cfm">Big Ben</a>, <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/282783">The London Eye</a>, <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/attractions/detail/77552">Piccadilly Circus</a>, <a href="http://www.stpauls.co.uk/">St Paul&#8217;s Cathedral</a> and <a href="http://www.wembleystadium.com/default.aspx">Wembley Stadium</a> were among the sights on view. Even though the weather was overcast, the views were still fabulous.</p>
<p>I was impressed with the food which was a posh buffet with delicious salads, oysters , fish, a carvery and an incredible selection of sweet treats for dessert. I felt like I was in Las Vegas!</p>
<p>The ambient music and minimal design made me feel unusually relaxed. There were even newspapers and magazines in the lounge area to read while enjoying a complimentary Bellini. I don’t know who would want to read the papers with such dizzying, distracting views though!</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.altitudelondon.com/">Altitude 360</a> is open for brunch on Sundays between 12:30 and 4pm. £65 per person.</p></blockquote>
