We came March 2023 to the restaurant and was a repeat trip from 4 years earlier, making it our 3rd visit in total. While i wont post pictures to disappoint diners, there restaurant is clearly at a crossroads with its vision. Heston is of course, no longer active in the day to day operation and as a result you feel that the cooking is a little confused between visionary, fun dishes which is what Heston was famous for and classic trained French dishes from the head chef who is Roux trained... We had one dish which was seafood risotto. The dish was outstanding in taste, but it simply wasnt a dish that Heston would have put on the table and there were a few others like that which for me felt that the restaurant had lost its way slightly.. We compared the pictures of this meal vs what we had March 2019 and while there was overlap, sounds of the sea etc, it was pretty clear that since Heston has "left" they havent been able to introduce that wow factor, put a smile on your face dish and laugh, which was what this restaurant was famous for.. Its as if, a lot of the courses are still stuck in 2007..... What was also disappointing was the wine pairings. Not the quality but when you opened the ipad it told you every course you were going to have and the whole aspect of the meal is meant to be the surprise factor... Not sure what they were doing here. Also the wine pairing menus were 169gbp, 379 or 1900 gbp off the top of my head and a lot of the 169 and 379 per head tastings had the same wines on it from my recollection.. Also one other minor negative was the glass of champagne we ordered as an aperitif. It was Billecart Rose at 44 gbp a glass, but you dont get a glass, you get half a glass. I know there are expectations as a 3 star restaurant on standards, but at 44gbp it was woefully short on what customers normally expect from a glass. The card concept starter game is also pretty pointless and serves no great purpose while the "sweets" from the house were also a lot worse than what we got 4yrs prior looking at the pictures... Service was of course good and attentive, just felt that the story didnt flow that well. All in all, i do think the restaurant has lost its way a little. You can also see it from the booking process. For a restaurant that doesnt have that many covers it doesnt sell out as fast as it used to.
