Dinner by Heston Blumenthal garners a strong reputation based on the recent customer reviews, which reflect a largely positive dining experience. Patrons praise the innovative menu that draws inspiration from historical recipes, the attentiveness and knowledge of staff, and the overall quality and presentation of food - particularly the meat fruit and tipsy cake dishes. The dining atmosphere is described as welcoming and service-oriented, contributing to a comprehensive high-end meal journey. However, there are isolated mentions of minor service inconsistencies and subjective views on furniture choice, food preferences, and pricing that slightly detract from the overall experience. The recurring theme indicates a sense of value for the culinary adventure despite acknowledged high costs, with a strong recommendation to seize the opportunity for such a unique meal if possible.

While no specific dress code is mentioned in the reviews, given the upscale nature of the restaurant and its setting in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, smart casual attire is generally expected.
