Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

Family gathering

Excellent food, presentation and service. Very good portion sizes, certainly couldn’t eat anymore after our most delicious meal. Will go back and definitely recommend it.

Overall I left with a feeling of disappointmemt. We were treated to dinner by my parents for our 10th wedding anniversary. The highlight of the meal was the service which was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were very welcoming and their attention to detail was right on the money. Sadly the meal didn't live up to the same standards. They appear to have a real problem getting the food out of the kitchen hot. The lobster starter was delicious but both my parents main courses of fish were cold (not intentionally). My father sent his back and they did replace it but not the standard you'd expect. My pork main was very average in taste and a whisker away from being overdone, and also only just warm. If the food had been knock out this would have been value for money, but as it was I left feeling disappointed that my parents treat hadn't lived up to expectations.

We did the FT menu, which was very good value. Only wanted wines by the glass on top of this and the sommelier was excellent, with a good range of suggestions to choose from. Meat fruit and tipsy cake were as amazing as described to us by friends beforehand. We enjoyed the duck and hake mains, although they weren't the star of the show. Lovely table overlooking the park appreciated.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Hestons. Service was fantastic. The food was incredible.

The food was so disappointing!
For myself as a vegetarian and the non veg who attended with me!
Would never go back waste if money.

Amazing food and service. Loved meat fruit. Will be returning!

It was simply superb! We’ll definately be coming back!

We celebrated our 35th anniversary here, sharing a wine paired meal, and it absolutely rocked. Great ambiance, service, food, and memories. We’ll be back!

Fantastic. Thank you.

Amazing ambience and brilliant food. Made my wife’s birthday special. The ice-cream maker made my daughters day. All in all an amazing experience

Love coming back to this fabulous place. Amazing food, very attentative service and great ambience.

Highly recommended! Brilliant service and had an amazing meal for my wife’s birthday

It was an experience we never forget. All employees was very nice and presented the food and concept with such engagement and understanding, and they really took their time to explain and offer to make every dish a dish to share. We got a grand tour around the kitchen just before we left.

Our go to place when in London. Always a pleasure.

Go for a pre-drink & the tasting menu for good value Michelin standard, but don’t expect full on fine dining experience of people in their finery & white glove, 9 course craziness.

Pre-dinner cocktails we’re both unusual but fabulous, thoroughly recommend not being put off & giving one a try.

Definitely go for the set menu - we didn’t & regretted it as everything we ordered from it was outstanding. Best duck dish I’ve ever tasted & the tipsy cake is just delicious.

Bread was hard, cold & butter tasted weirdly like the water you’ve just cooked a load of veg in.

I should caveat all of this with the fact we’re annoyingly wannabe foodies who have more money than sense when it comes to places we’ve eaten so our standards are a bit out.

Waitress was so giggle & lovely, but sommelier left us wanting to the point we were offered another drink by someone else to go with out dessert but we didn’t know what to say as we didn’t know how much wine we had left.

For me good standard place if you want a treat of some good grub and accessible high quality culinary experiences, but if you’re used to going to Michelin tasting menu experiences this one lacks anything special.

Truly one of the best meals my wife and I have ever eaten. When we arrived we sat at the bar with a cocktail recommended my the very knowledgable member of staff. After 20 minutes of people watching we were taken to our table right in front of the kitchen and the incredible pineapple spit! The waiter then helped us choose from the menu as everything looked so tempting and we just marvelled at the quality of the food. We have been lucky enough to eat at Michelin stared restaurants all over the world and the meal we had on Saturday was as good as anything we have ever eaten. All the staff were extremely knowledgable about the menu, recipe methods and history of the dishes. Simply stunning!

Had the Laurent Perrier summer menu - the meat fruit was exquisite, followed by halibut with green sauce and iberico pork chop and ended with the fabulous tipsy cake. The service was impeccable and highly recommended.

I loved my dinner, I was slightly sadden by the fact that there was no real dress code. When you pay a lot for a meal you kind of expect that jeans and t-shirts are not quite the etiquette.

Still the food was good, the staff very attentive and it was a lovely dinning experience. X

Dinner was stuffy, oily, too rich. The famous Mandarine of chicken parfait was way too rich, served on an oily toast requiring you to wipe your fingers each time. Dessert was too sweet and oily.

Fantastic menu

I was leaving London and was going to miss my niece’s birthday I wanted to take her somewhere special. The staff were lovely and even though it wasn’t her actual birthday they brought her a desert with happy birthday on it. She is vegan and although in the end she chose fish dishes they were very happy to cater to her food preferences.

Ordered lunch set. Food impression is always very personal. Well, personally I don't see myself come back another time.

We spend a fantastic evening there!
The food was excellent!
Caring , professional staff.
A great experience

Fantastic experience in respect of food, service and ambience. Especially the bartender, nice recommendations of the wines for the whole dinner.

Mains were excellent, bread rock hard and terrible

Whilst the dinner was ok it was not outstanding. I expected something a little bit more different as it was Heston. We have just been to Bulgaria - Black sea - and the food in our hotel was better. Sorry Heston! X

The atmosphere is a bit noisy but thats the only slight annoyance of this excellent restaurant. The choices on the menu are deceptive in that it doesn't really tell the story as far as the way it is prepared and presented. Exciting flavors and creative presentations were standard features. The prices are significantly less than expected for the quality.

Booked for my wife’s birthday both said best dining experience we have had

Everything was amazing from atmosphere, service and food were superb!

Had the 4 course offer. Food was very good although we had to wait over an hour between out first and second course. Wine list extensive but on the pricey side - as you would expect in a luxury 5 star hotel.

This is by far the best food experience I’ve ever had in my life... The meat fruit will be remembered forever!!

Superb dinner!!

Good food and ambiance! Always a good time there

we have been on quite a few occasions and enjoy the experience and food every time.
If I wanted to be very critical then the food could have been a little bit warmer but this is very personal preference.
We asked for a nice table overlooking the park and the team were very accommodating and to be honest made us feel as if we were very special.
Look forward to visiting again

I have booked this dinner for my parents and they have showed great service to my parents and provided a perfect day.
I was able to pay in advance with their system and was able to send a little messege at the end they loved the dinner thank you

I do not believe this experience was good value for the meal. The service staff could have been more attentive given the caliber of this restaurant.

Amazing- best dining experience. Food and service was extraordinary.

The restaurant brings what you would expect from a fine dining experience by Mandarin Oriental but there is no touch of Heston Blumenthal. The menu is a slightly sophisticated version of a top notch gastropub but there is no innovation in the dishes.

For the price point and considering the branding I expected more.

Great experience, amazing food, but a little messy place - noisy.
