    The decor and views of Birmingham were amazing. The food was exceptional in quality. However, one of our group was vegetarian. There was only one starter and one main she could choose from the Sunday lunch menu and although she thoroughly enjoyed the taste of both, the portion size was extremely small compared to the other dishes around the table. On the opposite side of the scale, the size of the roasts and the vegetable accompaniments were plentiful. Overall a very nice set menu lunch, but the portion sizes for the vegetarian dishes should be increased to warrant the same price tag as the larger meat and fish options.

    Totally exceeded my expectations. Fabulous service, setting and food. Beautiful calm, graceful ambience with warm helpful staff and every item on the menu was first rate. A pleasant surprise that unlimited teas, any type of coffee and hot chocolate were included in afternoon tea and the rose fizz to accompany goes perfectly as an add on. A special start to Christmas and a refined yet relaxed oasis in which to enjoy it at leisure. Highly recommended thank you - we will be back.

    The food was served cold unfortunately. The service was slow. After our main course, the Waitress didn’t come to the table to ask if we needed desserts or coffee. We had to call her over
