the square or le gavroche for birthday dinner? [London]

Thanks everyone. I have been to Murano before, and agree it was delicious..the menu hasn't changed since and the restaurant is booked anyway for my bday, but would love to go back another time.
Re: ledbury, it does sound like an innovative menu and nice modern ambience, though I don't feel up for that trek, prefer Mayfair area, and getting drinks at nice bar before dinner. Would check it out another time.

Good to know leGavroche can be atompsheric (perhaps romantic) in evening and not that severe. I will have to try Square sometime also, though am just not super excited abt the main courses on offer for dinner right now...the crab lasagne starter sounds great/creative, as does rice pud souffle; but I am perhaps more curious to try the cheese souffle starter/omeltte rothschild at le Gavroche. Anyway, would love to hear any more comments of your experiences at either places! Thanks again!

Thanks for your both of your thoughts...am still a bit conflicted. The lunch experience sounded wonderful and good to know you can substitute for some of the signature dishes. Le gavroche is booked for lunch however on my bday, and for dinner only the 9.30pm seating is available. So I could go for the a la carte dinner menu, as the Menu exceptionalle doesn't seem to have some of the signature dishes either. (eg would love to try the omlette rothschild). The Square I'd like to try at some point too, though their current menu isn't so appealing to me!

Any other recommendations for a memorable evening with good food? Hakkasan was actually my original choice for more fun atmosphere, though they are booked that night.. Restaurant gordon ramsay was also booked. I'd really like a good souffle on my bday. :) thanks again.

Thanks very much, glad to hear you highly recommend it. Lunch does seem a good value, though menu appears to change weekly so a wild card and I wanted to try some of their signature dishes...perhaps lunch another time and dinner for bday then! Thanks.

Thanks! I guess neither may have most celebratory ambience...tough call. The menu at the Square seems to have just changed, and the souffles at le gavroche sound more appealing now.

Thanks very much, glad you recommend. Lunch does sound good value although menu appears to changes weekly, and I'd like to try some of the signature dishes...so may opt for dinner there instead pn bday and return for lunch another day!
