The best restaurant by far around Victoria is Roussillon. It has a Michelin star and does classical French cooking. The place is awkwardly located (Victoria is not a hot dining destination) and so you have a good chance of getting a table.
Don't miss out on the chocolate croustillant for dessert - the chef here used to work at 3 star Michelin Louis XV and this was a dish he was taught there; it is almost as good here as at Louis XV. See my web site below for a detailed review and contact details.
Other than that Victoria is generally bereft of really good restaurants. However for something different you could try the Cinnamon Club, which does up-market Indian food in the very smart surroundings of the old Westminster Library (less than 10 minutes walk from Victoria station).
A very simple but quite romantic French bistro is La Poule au Pot in Ebury Street, which is an option if you can't get into Roussillon.

There are lots of cafes and restaurants near Victoria. However, they have a captive trade because of the various stations and the tourists, and you may get better value by going a little further afield. It does not take long to go a station or two along the underground. If you go westwards along the Circle you get to areas like South Kensington that have many good restaurants. If you want somewhere very basic indeed there are a couple of cafes alongside the Coach Station which are better value than the various chains you will find on the Railway Station and round about. But you wouldn't go for a meal out at them! For a good restaurant you can go to for a family event or to entertain for business purposes, I don't know of anywhere particular but suggest you look up the "Good Food Guide 2006" which has reports on restaurants in London listed by area (and with a map), describing what food they offer and what it is like. If you have a fortune to spend, Victoria is not far from Park Lane which has international class hotels, like the Connaught and the Dorchester, whose restaurants have up to three Michelin rosettes. You will get one of the best meals possible in the world, with prices to match.

Noura is excellent for Middle Eastern food.
There is a scottish place that does more traditional british food called Boisdale on Eccleston Street. Been there a few times and the service and food are good.
Also the Ebury Street Wine bar is also good and possibly more relaxed for a night out than the other 2.
Having said all that the best sandwich bar in London is also in Victoria Station by the bus station. There are 2 together. Highly recommended and a lot cheaper!

Well, if I was going for Christmas, I would want traditional English food. So, I would like to highly recommend Shepherd's. It's one of the Langan's restaurants, so the quality is superb. It's a rather modern building, but the interior is tasteful and cosy (as an interior designer, I pay attention to these things!), and the food is fantastic.
I think for a Christmas meal, it's a great location. Not all the food is heavy - they have Lobster salad and similar if your partner isn't keen on roasts with all the trimmings, but everything is very, very tasty.

Oh, and I'd personally recommend the Eton Mess for dessert. Yum!
Merry Christmas!

The Mango Tree on Grosvenor Place in Victoria, the closest tube is Hyde Park Corner, its a lovely, very modern with a twist. Thai restaurant.
Or Atami a Japanese restaurant on Monck Street, nearest tube is St. James's Park.
Or Il Convivio a Italian restaurant on Ebury Street, closest tube is Victoria.
all three are lovely, although if you like Thai food The Mango Tree is the best out of all three!

Try the Bank and Zander Bar in Buckingham Gate Road in Victoria. Had a Christmas function there yesterday...fantastic..It boasts the longest bar in England.... and the food is absolutely delicious!! You'll have to call them for a booking though..

all these people that said "mango tree"?
they're right. Grosvenor St or somewhere like that. 5-10 minutes walk from Victoria Station
The food and service are priced correctly for what you get - which is excellent - but it's not overpriced so if you want to really burn money you'll have to eat quite a lot.
REALLY want to impress her? come to Edinburgh and take her to the Witchery. Your scran will not be less than £100 but it will be awesome.

I can't remember the name but if you go out the main doors and if you turn left there is an italian restaurant buit into teh railway bridge ... it's lovely! Hope you enjoy it .... so you gonna pop the question?
BTW if you go to a restaurant with low lighting it creates the illusion of love by making the pupil enlarge as it does when you love someone. That's why romantic restaurants normally have low lighting ... so you stay for dessert lol
