Quick service but the staff still make you feel special, they are very friendly The food is always great too, with so many options!

Great Food and Service. Definitely going back.

This was our 2nd visit to the Vine Inn, the food is excellent. There were 4ceating & all enjoyed their meal. The portion sizes are ample but not huge, enough room for a pud or starter & everything is hot nothing lukewarm here. Staff are pleasant, don't pester you, in the week the dining is more leisurely as you will appreciate weekends are busier. Go & try the Vine. The menu has something for everyone, l know you won't be disappointed. Brilliant place, tucked away just outside Belbroughton buy definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food and excellent service.

We have never had Lebanese food before and were staying in a hotel nearby and got a Groupon voucher for Aqua. The restaurant was very comfortable, the staff were lovely and explained everything to us. The food was delicious. I had chicken and prawn pasta. There were lots of prawns and the sauce was lovely. My husband had lamb with rice. The rice was very fragrant and the chicken was tender. All 3 courses were very tasty and plentiful. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

The food was fabulous, the staff couldn’t have been more friendly. The decor is beautiful and I can’t wait to go back -

We were there Wednesday 23rd, I was disappointed with the meal I chose which I have had before, also two other people in the party found the chilli far to spicy and I had recommended it, but it was not as nice as on previous occasions. So disappointed this time

The food was excellent and beautifully presented. My only criticism was the wait time between courses, which I likely attribute to a shortage of kitchen staff.

Very nice Sunday lunch for all three of us. Will come again

Sunday lunch at the Vine, always a pleasure. The food is always consistently good, the staff always friendly and polite, good drinks too! Highly recommended.

Had a meal last Tuesday evening, just Jan and I, and were very satisfied. With two friends had Sunday Lunch, and were looked after very well, one minor issue was quickly and very satisfactorily seen to. Our meals were very tasty, well presented and we thoroughly enjoyed both occasions.

As always we have a lovely time from when u walk through the door.Food amazing and staff couldn't be znymore helpful

We have eaten here many times. Food, service and staff always excellent

Our night started off great, we started with a bottle of wine. Then ordered our starter and main. The waitress didn’t write anything down but was able to relay what we asked for. We then waited over half an hour for our Prawn cocktail to arrive. When we asked the waiter to check on our starters we were told that the kitchen was having to make up some more prawn cocktail sauce! After our starter, we waited again for our main. When it came out we had veg instead of salad that we requested. And my chips were so hot, like they had been nuked! My mushrooms were also overcooked but I didn’t mind that! My steak was cooked nice though We chose not to have a pudding and to just have a coffee. My wife’s flat white was cold as if made cold! When we asked for it to be changed, I believe it was just microwaved! And my Baileys coffee seemed to be just Baileys and milk with no coffee at all! This place has always been great in the past, hence why we chose to go there this time. It would seem that the old manager Colin had gone! The young waitress was very pleasant but I don’t really rate the rest

We had a lovely evening at Da Gino's on Friday 18th July. We took our two teenage boys, one of whom could not find anything he liked on the menu. He was asked what he liked and told the kitchen would prepare something he would enjoy, which is exactly what happened. The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, and all four of us enjoyed a beautiful meal. Our waitress was fabulous, friendly, helpful and we will definitely be returning soon.

Food and service always fabulous and superb value, we keep coming back!

Dear Panda Mami Management Team, I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about my visit yesterday. I say "meal" loosely because I wouldn’t call what we experienced a meal. It was, in all honesty, the worst dining experience I’ve ever had, and I don’t say that lightly. To start with, the starters: missing all the basics, but there were curly fries. Not exactly what you expect at an “authentic” world buffet. The salt and pepper chips resembled Pharaoh’s fingers. dry, ancient, and left out in the sun too long. The hot and spicy chicken wings? I needed a drill to get through the crust, only to discover there wasn’t much chicken there anyway. Spring rolls without any actual vegetables, maybe just “rolls” now? And crab claws so bad even my mother, usually a fan of the frozen variety, couldn’t get through one. No ribs, again, just like the last visit. It’s becoming a tradition. The mains were next-level terrible. Crunchy noodles (and not in the good way), chicken curry that looked like someone had rinsed a dish cloth in yellowish-grey water, beef so tough I considered taking it home to resole my shoes. The mussels? I can only assume they were leftover from last week’s service, possibly preserved in engine oil. Even the ice cream was a let-down, watery and flavourless. But there was a highlight: tinned peaches. Whoever opened that can deserves employee of the month. Now, to be fair, your staff were lovely. One of them even admitted things weren’t up to scratch, which I appreciate the honesty of. We asked for sweet and sour sauce and were handed a sachet of sweet chilli, not quite the same thing, but I respect the effort. We were offered our drinks off the bill, a grand total of two lime and sodas and with some back and forth, two meals were taken off. But really, the entire experience warranted a full refund. It felt like a complete waste: getting ready, driving, paying for parking, all to endure what can only be described as culinary punishment. In short, Panda Mami: please sort it out. And no, there won’t be a next time.
