The kitchen is headed by Ashley Palmer-Watts who has worked with Heston at The Fat Duck for nine years in the capacity of Group Executive Chef. “Dinner” (still hate the name) has unquestionably been the hottest opening this year, gathering an incredible amount of publicity and accolades. I didn't like the food and the flavor… I had dinner there last night. I dine out frequently and was expecting this restaurant to soon be on my list of favorite places. Sad to say it doesn't rate in my top ten in London. The food was ok. Our group all ordered different things to compare. The steaks were average and cuts not that great. I had the pigeon which was nice. The most disappointing thing was the desserts. The Tipsy cake was OK but the smoky after taste from the pineapple chunks was not successful. In the end there are far to many better restaurants in London and without the wait. On a positive note, the service was ok.
