Dinner at Dinner by Heston, Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London

A modern take on age-old English recipes, Heston is a genius.
I recommend the "Meat Fruit", "Powdered Duck", "Cod in Cider", and the "Tipsy Cake"
10/10

The American

7.5 / 10

George Clooney as an ageing hit man hiding out in a small Italian town.  A dreamy storyline, not as much action as one might expect based on the marketing.  Beautiful cinematography.
