Reviews in Birmingham, West Midlands

We've eaten at the Vine many times over the years and it has stayed consistently good. Particularly nice that the menu has more than the usual pub grub type things on it. A great little place.

We both enjoyed our meal and did not have to wait long for them to be served even though it was very busy at the time. We will come again enjoyed the afternoon .

First time at the Vine and it was a great meal the staff were very professional all at a very reasonable price.

Sunday: On the whole it was OK. I ordered Roast Beef dinner. It was OK although i think the roast potatoes were pre cooked the day before and therefore not brilliant. My friends ordered the steak pie which both of them enjoyed, We were ushered from the table to make way for the next sitting. The staff were pleasant enough but looked rushed off their feet.

Good variety of food but not very warm and the plates were cold. Sweetcorn soup had no taste, some dishes too spicy for me. Staff good at clearing empty plates. Room too cool for sitting for long.

Good food choices and excellent service

!!

Was busy when we went, and this meant that most of the hotplates were empty, and were most of the starters were gone, so only a few side dishes were available. There seemed to be no-one on the staff actually checking the contents. This is pretty poor, considering they must know in advance when the Art Centre is going to be busy. Eventually the plates were re-filled, fortunately we were not in a rush, otherwise we'd have paid £19 for 3 bits of sushi and a spring roll and not much else.

Excellent food, good service and a relaxed atmosphere... Would recommend..

Looked nice as we entered, however the place was empty which made me think the food wouldn’t be so fresh. The plates were dirty, I had to look through several in order to get a clean one. The food wasn’t up to scratch the prawns were soggy, the fried chicken wings were rather dry. Not a great selection of desserts and it looked like they had been sat there all day. The chips were very soggy, and so were the nuggets. The children were upset that there was only marshmallows and chocolate fondant, they were told to use the chocolate sauce for the ice cream to dip the marshmallows in, which was not great at all.

Once again fantastic meal and lovely atmosphere. Friendly welcoming staff.

Our party of 4 are no strangers to lunch at The Vine. We are regulars. Which means of course that we are biased in our review of the place. But what to say? The Vine is an old fashioned pub which serves excellent beer ( and other liquids!). The food is freshly cooked using high quality ingredients. Always very tasty. Lunch can last 1 hour, 2 hours or more. It’s down to you. No one is going to tell you to hurry because your table is needed. So give The Vine a try. No tv, no slot machines, no pipped music. Just Simon and his team welcoming their guests to an easy experience. But. Can you please book for the evenings. I don’t want this revue to make lunch reservations difficult for me and my friends!!

Amazing!!!!! We are regular costumers when we happen to be in Coventry. Food is special, tasty and perfectly cooked. The service is even better: nice atmosphere and gentle smiles. A place to visit for having a genuine Lebanese food experience. Thanks for having us every time. Ciao Giorgia and Jacopo from Venice

Excellent steaks with great service

10 of us went on a Sunday lunchtime for birthday celebrations and everyone enjoyed it very much. The food is continually being topped up with fresh, hot food, there is plenty of choice. The layout is great with everything clearly marked. Service was good and staff friendly. Only problem was the girls were very disappointed because the chocolate fountain was out of order.

Visited the vine on 7/nov/ service and food was excellent as was the atmosphere good choice on menu would definitely return
