Latest Recommendation

Rectory Bar And Restaurant, Birmingham City Centre

it had been many years since i had visited St Pauls Square, after visiting The Rectory I won't leave it so long for the return visit. We paid a visit last Saturday night after several of our friends told us how good it was - to say they were raving about it was an understatement! On theirs (and the waiter's) recommendation we opted for the house signature dish of homemade beef wellington, and a crispy belly of pork. I have to say both meals were exceptional and easily justified the recommendations. Perfectly cooked and equally well presented you could not fail to be impressed. Add to that the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and service that was attentive without being intrusive, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and have already booked our table for our next visit and picked up a menu for Christmas along the way!
