Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Visited on Thursday 8th August. The service and drinks (Butty Bach and Merlot) were very good as were the main courses (Monkfish Scampi special excellent, Beef Stifado very good). Our sorbet deserts were refreshing but spoilt slightly by being full of crunchy ice, probably due to being open too long within the freezer but the real disappointment was the coffee. This was either a very unusual blend or, more likely, very stale beans which was a real shame. Overall very good and we will return.

Lovely place,food always great and good quality

Great food, although not sure how onion chutney fits in with a seafood platter:-) Enjoyed the game pie, mussels looked excellent. The pork medallions were top notch. Would go again.

Booked a meal for 4 on the 7th August, the staff were very welcoming when we arrived. Our meal was delicious couldn’t fault it. I would highly recommend the vine, & shell definitely be returning in the near future

It was a really lovely experience. The food was great and the personnel really nice. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Also I like the idea of having sisha garden

It was great to dine in a brilliant independent pub restaurant. The menu was a change from the standard fare served in most chain restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and will definitely return!

Went here Friday 3rd Aug. What a fantastic place to visit. Only 10 minutes from home and I discovered this pub. The staff were young and fantastic a credit to their age group. As for the food from the first of 3 courses to the last lick on my spoon was beautiful and fresh and very reasonably prices, book soon people you will not be disappointed. Jon Dickinson (very happy customer 5 stars)

Food was lovely and the service was excellent. Not a bad price for meals and drinks for 5 people. Plenty of choice including a specials board. Will definitely go again and would recommend.

Excellent food, best Italian restaurant in Birmingham. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Everything is fresh and cooked to perfection.

Excellent food and service. Friendly and helpful staff. We were not rushed to vacate our table.

Service excellent We have eaten off the menu a couple of times & it was goof However Sunday lunch was dissspointing 1st when they served we were nearly wearing it normally I do have gravey but I forgot to request it be served separately (my mistake) but the dinner was swimming in it overcooked roast soggy parsnips stuffing couldn't work out the flavour brocoli nice cabbage tasteless & dry Very dissapointed

First time visiting, will sadly not be going back as service was just shocking. Amazing food, but it took over an hour for us to be able to order food, we asked for the attention of whom we believe was the manager twice to be blatantly ignored by them, in the end the lady who served us drinks reminded him we were still yet to order. If you're a regular or a local, it was very clear you were treated different. Great food, just had better customer service in a McDonalds.

I booked a late table 20:45 for 4 of us. The staff were friendly, we have been here several times before and rarely have a complaint, but it felt like we were being rushed, different people kept coming over to collect plates and glasses (even if only 1 glass was empty), but was not asked if we wanted more drinks. My husband and youngest son had the pie which is always a winner with us, but they both said it was quite dry. A lot of the chips were rock hard too (over fried). The vegetables were barely cooked. I had the pasta which I had never had before, it was like they had cooked the pasta, heated a tin of tomato soup and mixed them together. There was a lot of sauce. Then, they put the garlic bread on top of it which made it go soggy. We were very disappointed with this visit. Maybe we won’t book a late table again.

Ben was absolutely fantastic. His customer service ability is off the charts. An absolute pleasure. Give him a raise ;)

This was our 2nd visit to Da Gino and absolutely love it. The staff are so nice and offer a warm welcome, the atmosphere is delightful and the food is exceptional. Definitely recommend.

Another fine meal. My favourite is the Steak pie but my message to the Chef is please cook the vegetables. They were cold and hard so not really edible. Our last two visits had the uncooked veg also

Great food on a Friday night Best fish and chips Unfortunately when very busy you can wait up to 1 hr and 30min for your food and the staff do not advise you when your ordering

I’ve been here many times before, always had lovely food, although even when quiet the service can be slow. We came for a meal last night, and because the weather was nice there was a lot more tables taken. There was a sign when ordering saying a 40 minute wait, which this was fine as it was a lovely evening outside. An hour had passed and we had no food. I went inside to just enquiry how much longer the food we be. I had a very stern staff member simple say there a wait on the food. I said I fully understand and was aware of this but it has now been an hour. The response I had was ‘well yes it’s 40 minutes to an hour wait right now and it has been like for the last two hours.’ I was quite took back by this as there was no apology or seem to want to help or chase this. We waited a further 20 minutes for the food to come out which was then the worse meal we have had there. There were tables around who had been waiting a lot less around who were getting drink desserts / drinks for the wait. We were that disappointed we just wanted to leave straight away and got nothing offered to us for the inconvenience. We would of just walked away knowing the wait was 1hour 20 minutes. However at this point of waiting that long a lot of places would of either been shut or have stopped serving so we had no choice to wait. Really disappointing for a lovely place.
