    It's simple. If you want a 1970's experience, you are in the right place…read more You walk in and you see what you are going to get, a dated restaurant, serving dated food. DO NOT let this bother you. - recently, my wife and I ate an OK Greek meal, but it was in a such a beautiful premises, that anything but an amazing food experience would have been a let down. The food didn't match the quality of the restaurant. I just think that in this restaurant, when you walk in, it was so 1970's, that anything half decent was going to impress. It wasn't the best food. King prawns were over cooked, the bread was undercooked, the calamari was perfectly cooked, but the coating/batter was under. My 8oz fillet was perfectly cooked, but the pate on top was really cheap, coarse, tasteless, horrible pate. The sauce with the steak was stupidly thick, (but seriously tasty). Such a shame. That said, it was great. I love the fact that after all those comments, I loved it. I also can't wait to take friends there to see what they think. I think you should visit. It's a great evening.

    This small, independent restaurant offers an impressive range of Italian dishes and an appealing,…read moreluxurious atmosphere, but prices are a little high and staff are not quite as friendly as you might expect. Tiled, mirrored walls and arching pillars add a sense of authenticity to the interior and leather seats make the whole set-up feel plush and expensive. Which is very apt indeed, as most dishes cost in excess of £15 each. On my visit, I sampled the 'pollo alla duchessa' - chicken, prawn and asparagus in a brandy and cream sauce, which was gorgeous, and I'd definitely visit again. But only if somebody else was paying!

    Gavino's Italian Restaurant - Gavino's - the worst restaurant name, ever!

    Gavino's Italian Restaurant - Steak Rossini - possibly the thickest sauce I've ever had, terrible pate, but a perfectly cooked 8oz fillet steak.

    After work food and cocktails. Definitely a bit of a funny one for covid restrictions, but because…read moreit still feels very big, you do feel nicely spaced out from people. I got their later than everyone else, so I missed out on the food, but everyone else was full and impressed. The cocktails were good- I would probably rank them as "definitely better than Wetherspoons, but not as good as a proper cocktail place" App for ordering worked well, and staff were nice enough.

    One of only two salads in the world that I CRAVE - it's that good…read more I've been to Quinto Lounge twice now and both times chose the Big Lounge Salad as my entree. Both visits were on a Sunday during lunch and the food preparation was perfect. The Big Lounge salad boasts a delightful variety of flavors and textures. I really like the tarragon mustard seed vinaigrette as it brings a level of brightness to the vegetables and blends well with the creamy ripe avocado chunks. This past Sunday, I ordered the Sherbet Lemonade. At 2 quid something a glass, this beverage is spectacular and definitely worth the price tag. Think of it as dessert or nice virgin cocktail. The playful presentation and summery sweetness make it hard not to gulp the whole glass before the meal arrives. I really dig the decor in this place. It feels somewhat like a vintage 70s art lounge, with groovy wallpaper and large framed paintings covering the full length of the main wall. There is ample seating and comfortable chairs. Seating arrangements are nicely spaced to create privacy and patrons are welcomed to stay for an afternoon with board games and a mini-library. The lighting features are custom crafted from salvaged naval lanterns and the wall of windows facing the road provide a not-too-bright sunlit glow. This is a new go-to place for us!

    I can always count on this place to fill me up. The staff is quick and efficient. If you're lucky…read moreyou'll get someone on the till who is super friendly and you're able to share a few quick laughs with them. The food itself is consistent and dependable. They are generous in portions and happy to make what you want to-order. Also, this is one of the few chip shops where I am comfortable ordering several different things off the menu and knowing that I'll have a good meal. Even with some big chain's in the area and with other chip shops that are cheaper, this still is on the top on my list when I want a good takeaway. It's always great value and I know I'm going to be more than satisfied with what I get!

I used to visit this Big John's on the way home from College many moons ago, and although the service is a little shaky, I can't score it less than 5 stars because it is AWESOME! A mixed kebab, with donner meat, delicious chicken tikka, salad, chilli sauce all served in a GIANT NAAN... costs a meagre £3.50! After taking my friends there recently and introducing an out-of-towner to experience it, one of them looked at my kebab and said, "how on earth are you meant to eat that? It's massive!" I agreed, and then showed him. It seems the way you are meant to eat it, is with a smile on your face!

    Raphael's Coffee Lounge - Behind the rather traditional façade lies one of the best breakfasts you can get. Its certainly top three in Birmingham.

    Breakfast Review:…read more Today was a treat. I was recommended this place by a business colleague and thought it was worth trying out. I didn't realise it was a Greek restaurant and a cafe, but it appears that it is. The interior is clean and spaced out well, with a counter at the front and a spotlessly clean open kitchen at the rear. First off was ordering drinks, Orange juice 'carton or fresh squeezed sir?' The perfect question. I went for fresh squeezed, a rare treat. Coffee was excellent too. Then came the breakfast: as near to perfection as you could get. One juicy plump sausage, 2 griddled pieces of bacon, mushrooms, perfectly cooked tomato, black pudding to die for, beans were served in a ramekin, (its a personal thing, I HATE beans on my breakfast plate), 2 eggs that personified the perfect egg. Proper toast made it even better. The service was superb too, from the lovely lady taking the orders, through to the chefs cooking and the serving staff too. Freshly squeezed orange juice, large coffee and Full English for just £10.40. Superb. I think I have a new favourite :0) 9/10 (another round of toast would have made it perfect!)

    I really loved Raphaels when I visited it recently. I had been the victim of some road rage in the…read morecar park down the road but entering here was instantly relaxing and I loved the chilled out feeling. Often when cafés call themselves a 'lounge' you don't feel comfortable enough to lounge, however here was the opposite. The atmosphere is laid back and the staff are friendly and efficient. The menu is really well thought out and I love that they have classics alongside slightly jazzed up versions of things. Certain things with a twist caught my eye like the mezze lunch (but I'll eat anything with halloumi in), the spiced hot chocolate and the salsa chicken hot wrap. They all sound delicious and not the same old thing you'd usually find in a café. My toasted tea cake and cuppa really did the trick and it was inexpensive.
