"Came here to celebrate a birthday. Booked the Sunday Roast menu. Really lovely experience. The food was great, sirloin cooked perfectly and the trimmings were excellent. Pate was presently beautifully, chicken main was delicious and the pineapple dessert was the perfect end. Highly recommend."

"Well, I have not been to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental in London, so I had to go to this one. Unfortunately for Heston, I have been to the fat duck and been absolutely blown away so that is the level with which I judge his restaurants.
The concept behind this restaurant is that Heston has gone back hundreds of years to find old recipes and give them a modern twist. Overall I think he has succeeded. I would say the food was just lacking a little something that I can’t quite put my finger on. It was perfectly cooked, well presented and the service was excellent even when we sent back a bottle of wine we thought tasted like chemicals. We also got a tour of the kitchen and the wine cellar. Great experience.
We had the five course tasting menu:
- scallop: well cooked, prepared and presented. Just not as good as Gordon Ramsay which is how I judged my scallops now.
- meat fruit: this was absolutely wonderful. Fantastic presentation and the taste was sublime along with their restaurant baked bread
- hake: a fantastic flavour, a good portion size and they cooked me another one when I suspected that it may not be cooked all the way through although the chef said it was. I wasn’t going to take any chances as I had a flight a couple of hours later. They even replaced it with a bigger portion size.
- venison: it is so easy to overcook venison and they cooked this without a doubt in the most sublime way. It was pink all the way through and melted in the mouth. Well done.
- dessert: perfectly pitched sweetness to finish us off
Highly recommended. Although I would recommend you go to the fat duck first and I plan on going to dinner in the Mandarin Oriental to compare ."

"Fantastic meal at an extraordinary restaurant. Service was outstanding, food was exemplary.
Starters were brilliant. Highly recommend the Meat Fruit. I would not recommend the steak as a main dish. Not because it was by any means not good, but it was just a steak. In hindsight, the whole point of Heston Blumenthal food is the science of it and the visual appeal. The steak looked like a steak that you’d get at any restaurant. The chicken main looked so intriguing with various layers of ingredients. The visual appeal is absolutely captivating. Deserts were fantastic. If you’re in a party, try to get at least one member to order the ice cream, if only for the visual drama it brings to your table with the churning and the nitrogen gas smoke.
All in all a fabulous outing."
