Dinner by Heston Blumenthal

This is my third visit to Dinner by Heston but it will be my last. I have to say I am quite surprised it has held on to its 2 Michelin stars since in my humble opinion the concept is a bit tired and it’s way less innovative than other 1 and 2 Michelin starred restaurants in London and elsewhere. Whereas the food was nice and well presented I just didn’t find it interesting or innovative. Maybe I ordered badly but the fillet steak was literally a lump of steak with average chips and an average sauce. Nothing you couldn’t get in any decent gastro pub. The meat fruit and the tipsy cake were nice but I suppose being my third time here it just wasn’t as interesting or impressive as prior times. One thing I really wish they would change is the wine list. The sommelier recommendations were all in the range of £150-250, pretty steep even for a 2 star restaurant. They really need more reasonable prices bottles since the options below £75 are very limited. Obviously this is where they try to make their money. I think this is restaurant is now just a standard cash cow for Heston and when asked a staff member said they had last seen him at the restaurant 6 months ago. Maybe he needs to visit more regularly and come up with a few more ideas.
