Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

Great - it's my new regular - first class- would recommend and take friends who are out of town

Good service , beautiful food as usual , soup really tasty , steak perfectly cooked, 2 dishes off special 's menu nicely presented and very tasty , always book a table as you don't want to be disappointed because the food is super

Fabulous lunch, 2 courses for £16. Great food, service and price. Will definitely return and recommend to others.

We happened on this place by accident, booked for Sunday lunch and it didn’t disappoint. The food was excellent, the staff are very friendly. It’s dog friendly which is always a plus and because we had a pushchair we were seated appropriately to accommodate it. The only thing that let it down is the very outdated decor, but that did not detract from the excellent Sunday lunch.

As usual service was good prices fair my only criticism would be that they do not offer lighter bites or pensioners meals we do not all have the appetite of a manual worker and as a result food is wasted

Love this pub for the pub, service, staff, good wine and atmosphere. Always a winner.

Had a great Sunday lunch here with family and will be back. The food was gorgeous (with generous portions) and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The perfect place for a meal halfway between family members - well worth the 2.5 hour drive.

Food was good and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had service was good and great value for money

Not the best on this occasion. Sausages overcooked and tasteless my husband didn’t eat even one. Starter and desert fine usually much better than this overall

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.

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.
