Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Its been some time since we last went to Da Gino and this visit really reminded us of how good it is. Excellent friendly service, high quality food and wine and a relaxing ambience. Looking forward to our next visit which will be soon!

Enjoyed a splendid meal here yesterday. Four of us all settled for the Set Lunch menu and it was extraordinarily good for a very reasonably priced meal.. The pork and chicken particularly were excellent. The staff are professional and helpful and not at all 'pushy!' We had hoped to sit in the delightful gardens but the cold weather meant we were seated in the dining room, which is very cozy. Good to see that The Vine is back in business. We do hope they have a very successful summer, they deserve to do well.

The Vine still as rustic charm, a very varied menu to suit all. Me and a friend first meal catch up since lockdown, and was looking for a light lunch menu? Although the set meal was reasonable so we choose the 2 course for £13.95, I had butterflied garlic chicken, very moist and tasty, French fries and a divinely dressed salad, which I really enjoyed. My friend went for the belly pork with all the trimmings she truly enjoyed it. The desserts were also yummy chocolate & pear sponge with custard was my friends choice, I went for rum Raisin & cranberry cheesecake with a delicious ice cream Mmmm. When we were given the dessert menu and the reverse side was The Lunch Menu!!!!!! With an Aray of lighter options!! . We weren’t hurried and allowed to chat over the delicious coffee. Definitely visit again but next time please show us all menus so we can make our preferred choice!!! Thank you

We had a lovely meal for Father’s Day carvery is excellent and lots of choice, some ordered of menu as well and all enjoyed it. Lovely atmosphere and great staff. Cannot fault a thing.

We go to Gino's regularly, & missed the team very much indeed during lockdown! We had the Father's day lunch yesterday, including the steak & duck, which were both wonderful. We really cannot fault anything. We've back for lunch this Friday, trating two friends. Kevin & John

We had a lovely Carvery for Fathers Day, the portions were good the meal was hot and there was a variety of vegetables. The service was excellent as staff were friendly and checked on us regularly. We had a very positive first experience and will be returning soon.

Revisited The Vine last weekend after all the lockdowns and pleased to say that the food is still as good as ever. Drinks and food arrived on time, could not fault the place. Will certainly visit again soon.

The vine is a fab place to eat for a nice relaxed meal, really good fresh, tasty, local produce We usually have a couple of awkward customers in our gang, no weat, dairy etc, they are always happy to adjust things to suit It's the first place we wanted to go as a family after lockdown

Another great meal at the old crown, brilliant service by all the staff Booked again for next week

Myself and my sister had a meal at Da Gino last night. It was the first time we have visited Da Gino and it was amazing. From the minute we walked in we were made to feel very welcomed. We were seated upstairs and staff were very friendly and we received excellent service. Our food was amazing we will definitely return.

I recently went to The Vine with my Dad for Father's Day (on the Sat night though). We also took my dog Bobby who was made very welcome by the staff and other guests in the pub. This pub has lovely memories for me because my parents used to bring me here as a child (more than 35 years ago) where would sit out side, enjoy the atmosphere and watch the animals potter around. These days I make a point to visit this pub, with my family when we are visiting my Dad because the food is so good! The menu seems to appeal to all tastes and the quality of the ingredients is high. This time I had the partridge dish and my Dad had the Barbary Duck dish. The desserts were also delicious.

Super service, super food, a most enjoyable evening.

Best food you’ll find! Nice and quiet atmosphere Staff lovely and friendly and give you great service but also lots of space We love it

The meals were very nice both my wife an I really enjoyed what we had. My only gripe was the meal I had from the specials, I chose the venison which was cooked great but I thought very over priced at nearly £17 for a piece of venison 4 boiled potatoes with chorizo and a single grilled tomato.

Lovely food, we had the Sunday carvery and the toffee/honeycomb cheesecake which was gorgeous. Staff were very attentive without being invasive. We forgot the football game was on when booking but staff asked on arrival if we wanted to be able to watch it from our table, when we said no we were seated at the other end so weren't bothered by it.

Before I start, this is a biased review, because I love Da Gino. My husband took me last night 10.6.21 to celebrate a very special birthday and we had a wonderful time. The staff, the ambience and the food were outstanding, as always. The welcome was warm; the staff are all long serving and it really feels as if they know you personally. I discovered I love courgette cooked the 'Da Gino' way, which is a huge surprise because normally I can't stand the stuff! It's been a long time since we were able to visit and we can't wait to go back again. My husband had the duck and he said it was 'fantastic', the sauce just right and the duck beautifully cooked. My only sadness was I didn't have room for desert because they looked amazing too. Thank you for a lovely evening. See you again soon.
