Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

We love The Vine. Always an interesting menu. Always beautifully presented food. Always delicious food. Lovely staff & very dog friendly.

Good food, hearty portions, efficient service even when they are busy, what's not to like?

Booked for two for a Monday lunch, arrived on time to be shown a more than adequate table and ordered from the lunch menu (starter and main) both arrived well presented and timely. The garlic mushrooms, pate and steak and guiness pie were to die for at a very reasonable price, we'll certainly be booking again in the future. Great pub atmosphere, friendly staff and convivial outside space.

We’ve eaten here before and it’s been nice enough. We booked the Sunday as we wanted the Sunday dinner. Arrived late afternoon, firstly they run out of turkey and belly pork. Then a few minutes after taking our order we were told they didn’t have any Sunday dinners left at all. All other meals are with chips, no sides of potatoes or anything different instead of having to have chips. Took ages for someone to even come and take an order, around 20 minutes, in fact a table tat sat down after us were served first. Couldn’t get a drink at the bar for ages as they were completing orders from tables before serving at the bar in the restaurant. The staff though were polite and friendly when we did eventually talk with them, although the first person to greet us, possibly a manager or owner looked like they really couldn’t be bothered to be there. Other servers were nice though. We eventually left as the start of the journey was disappointing and the fact that they run out of Sunday dinners on a Sunday seemed a bit disorganised. Appreciate places can be busy, but I also think you should cater for specific days if that’s one of your selling points

Friendly and helpful staff. Tasty food. Very enjoyable evening. Hope to go again

Fantastic as always

My wife and I have been to the Vine many times. Food is always excellent, staff helpful, general atmosphere is great. This time we had meals from the specials board - fish and pheasant. Both meals were of a high standard, with excellent service. Thank you to Simon and the staff. Highly recommended

Food was very good

Food excellent. Service very food very attentive waitress.

Excellent

Disappointing first visit. Booked a table, was very busy as expected. Food took way longer than were advised it might be. Had to ask twice. Food was not of the standard it should be for the price we paid. I understand it gets busy when the sun comes out but nearly 2 hours for food is not acceptable. Service also wasn’t the best. Will not be returning or recommending.

Lovely meal yesterday (10.5.25), enjoyed my Balmoral Chicken, and the beer, and the service :).

Disappointing choice-several dishes not available,including “Specials”. Perhaps Monday is not a good day.

Steak pie was very tasty and full of lean steak. The lasagne was one of the best my wife has had. Reasonable priced wine. Comfortable pub with nice atmosphere. We will have to enquire about the loyalty scheme

Steak was delightful and the dirty burger was just something else!! Both meals were amazing. The meal was a nice quiet birthday celebration for a couple with down time from family commitments and so worth the visit. Staff were polite and helped with anything that was asked of them. Food on the higher end but worth it occasionally. Highly recommended.

First visit and highly delighted by the experience. Lovely ambience and the owner and staff were friendly and on point. Food first class and decent if not very generous portions. An excellent find as this is authentic Italian.

brilliant

Excellent
