Links to reviews of some of the 'posher' places I've eaten in...
You're generally looking at a minimum of £25 a head for 2 courses (without booze and service). None of them (with the exception of Ducasse at the Dorchester) require jackets, but they're the sort of place you could quite happily take a client, or spoil a loved one on a birthday or anniversary.
Alain Ducasse - 3* French at the Dorchester
Anthony's Restaurant - Leeds fine dining
Automat - Mayfair diner
Aqua Nuevo - Pretentious Spanish themed nightclub
Bar Boulud - upscale Knightsbridge brasserie
Bob Bob Ricard - Quirky Soho American
Dean Street Townhouse - Stylish Soho modern British
Goodmans - Mayfair steakhouse
The Ivy - Classic Covent Garden celebrity dinner hall
Les Deux Salons - Covent Garden bistro
