Sarastro Restaurant London

One evening last spring, as we sat in the bleachers watching our sons play soccer, I mentioned to the other parents that we were planning to celebrate our wedding anniversary in London. One couple (Chris and Barb) was preparing for a move there and another couple (Gaynor and Mike)was FROM the London area.

Gaynor recommended an interesting restaurant in the theater district that's advertised as, "The show after the show." It looks like a theater inside, complete with box seats set up for dining.

In September, while making plans to get together with Chris and Barb in London, we decided to check out Gaynor's suggestion.



We sat at a long table in the middle of the floor. The food was good, but the real draw is the atmosphere.






(Look at the women peeking out from their box seats!)

Live music erupted at one point (which seemed to make some people uncomfortable. haha!) :



And what we assume was a bridal party flounced in and sat down next to us.



We had a nice time! I'm glad we checked it out.

After dinner, we strolled around the city, eventually walking over The Thames on a footbridge:



It was very romantic. Too bad I was with my husband. (That's a joke!! A joke, I say!!)
