Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Splendid meal with friends after a hard afternoon playing (and losing) Bridge. A really interesting and unusual specials menu - Venison, Pheasant, Monkfish - and all perfectly cooked and presented. And the ice creams/sorbets and pavlova afterwards were spot on too. We hadn't been to the Vine for years and now wondering why. It was excellent last time as well, so no excuse!

We're local residents around the campus. It's our first time to try this oriental restaurant in the Art Centre of Warwick university. Monday is the hottest day of the year, how can be no airconditon there. But the staff arranged big fans standing by the tables. We appreciated that because we were told the airconditon was controlled by the university. Apart from that, we are all happy with the main things: good food with plenty choices; friendly & helpful staff; beautiful environment; variety of drinks. After meal, we strolled around the main campus with great pleasure. We really enjoyed our meal and time there. To be honest, I have to say nowadays you can't find many places where you meet young people but don't feel frightened in the evening. We had a good time and it wouldn't be the last time.

Lovely food good selection great service.

The air con is failure and hasn’t mentioned in the booking confirmation call. It’s too warm for every customers.

We attended as a group of 7 for Sunday lunch yesterday. The food was good and the service was excellent. Lovely beer garden. Sadly there were patrons openly doing coke (and not the cola kind) in the loos at 2pm in the afternoon which is not what I expected to see so I probably wouldn’t return on that basis only.

Great food , loved the decor , service from the staff was quite frankly the quality I expect from a Michelin star restaurant in London , they were super polite , attentive but not up in your face , bought fresh water to the table before you had to ask , just a great little find , what made it better was taking advantage of their 2 for 1 offer on the buffet . Would I recommend it , of course , will be going back real soon . I've seen other reviews complaining about the temperature inside , there were at least 3 very large fans spaced about the dining area , I say it as I see it , people that complain about the cost of an all you can eat buffet should maybe just stay at home

A wonderful experience! From the first moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by Elena and the staff in the front reception area who were attentive to us at every stage. Nice to also meet Gino himself before we left later on, almost like we had been welcomed to his home! The food was authentically Italian, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The round tables and calm atmosphere helped us relax and enjoy each other's company. We shall definitely return.

We had a lovely meal when we had lunch yesterday and the lady serving us was really friendly and helpful - we do like the Vine - it is one of our favourite places

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere and excellent value for money.

Lovely pub, relaxing atmosphere and surroundings, old quaint pub. Food was excellent and service was faultless, lovely staff. Definitely return

Food was amazing, fresh, replaced regularly and lots to choose from 5/5 However it was so hot it must have been 30°c. It really did ruin the atmosphere 1/5 Will return again but definitely not in summer.

We had a lovely two course meal yesterday with friends, was absolutely fabulous, came out piping hot, Pub in a lovely setting,had a nice big beer garden, plenty of space for the kitchen ds to run around with a play area too, Our waitress was great as well Will highly recommend

The food are nice. The service are well. But the indoor temperature is very hot and uncomfortable .

Exceptional food, incredible value and polite service. Probably the best Sunday roast we have had out in many years. The decor in the Vine may not be instantly appealing to people walking into the vine, it is very traditional/old fashioned but please see past this and have a meal, you will not be disappointed and it is incredible value. The staff are polite and not at all imposing, though a smile here and there wouldn't go amiss, that said, who wants to work on a Sunny Sunday. Thank you for a delicious great value Sunday roast. Oh and my Husband, the sweet tooth, says the baileys bread and butter pudding is the best pudding he's ever had.

I went to Warwick Art Centre . The food tasted good, but there were too few choices. There was no Western food, and the Japanese food was less varied and the quantity was small. The regular price was relatively expensive. Now it is reasonable to 2dine for1,but it is a bit unreasonable to charge the same price for children as adults. The most disappointing thing was that the place was very hot. It was like eating in an oven almost unbearable. We were sweating while eating. This is why I may not go there again.

excellent as usual
