Their Christmas menu is delicious, a real treat. The food is French. It's done well and this is reflected in the prices, the cheapest main course being £12.95.

The sunsets over the lake are absolutely stunning and it's a cosy, warm little place.

Meat lover's - you'll be happy; fish fanciers - it's all there; - Veggies - fear not! The restaurant is small and intimate, with views over the lovely grounds at Moxhull, once on the estate of the Belfry. There's even talk that the house may be haunted, but I'm sure only by the most friendliest of ghosts. Rated by Dan M.as 'the BEST steak he's ever had (the Fillet Rossini), and that alone is an accolade. At 3 courses for under £30, the price is delightful too. Home cooked, fresh and seasonal ingredients, make this a treat for any occasion (or at that price, who needs an occasion?!)

The Crown is like a superhero, alternating between its different personas like a consummate…read morecrime-fighting pro'. By day, this mild mannered pub serves good, honest pub food to a more genteel clientele. By night, the Crown dresses up into a thriving, bustling drinkers bar. The food here is always pretty good, delivering what you would expect from most pub menus. I'm always tempted by their curry, whilst my husband can't get enough of the burgers. The drinks tick the boxes too, even stocking some fairly unusual beers for a suburban boozer such as Blue Moon from the USA. Be warned though, the pub can get very busy when in it's in drinking mode. On Friday and Saturday nights expect a queue at the bar. On some evenings it can feel like this place is the local for all of Four Oaks' residents. The diversity of the drinkers is sometimes astounding. Don't be surprised to see groups celebrating an 18th birthday, whilst another customer is turning 80 on the very same night. Like most heroes, the Crown is loved by the public who are reassured that it's always there for them.

Asparagus, wrapped in Parma ham topped with a golden tolled egg. Delicious. For the main, I went for home made corned beef hash. Brined brisket of beef, slow cooked with beetroot, (mainly to add colour), with a perfect egg on top. 10/10. It's not of the evening menu - apparently it's not good enough - but IF you ask nicely.... Desserts are known to be great here. You won't get a better chocolate brownie. Last night I went for an orange/almond cake with orange coulis/sauce. Brilliant. Please try this place. It's incredible value for money and excellent food.

This pub is a must visit. Three course Sunday lunch for £15!…read more I'm not talking about a few pieces of melon followed by a limp piece of grey meat and a scoop of ice-cream, this is real quality. There were easily three choices for each course which sounded delicious, making it really tough to choose. Most of my family chose to pay a supplement for the belly pork which was well worth it cause it looked delicious. I had roast beef which was also excellent. Additionally a decent choice of real ales and a comfortable bar area for pre/post drinks. For the price I literally can't imagine a better menu, it was excellent. My dad's only gripe was that vegetable sides didn't come with all the meals only the roast, but they happily provided extras when asked.

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!

The Oak Room cannot be all things to all people, and yet it seemingly effortlessly walks the line…read morebetween genuine elegance, fine dining, impeccable service and somehow, an intimate, welcoming and very English vibe. Stuffy it is not; this is special, yes, but relaxed - perfect for a family celebration needing a finer touch (and heftier bill). As the name suggests, this stand-alone restaurant at four-star Moor Hall Hotel, is decorated with oak panels, yet is not so wooden - in texture and atmosphere - that sweeping views of the grounds aren't afforded. But you'll be quite happy looking at your immediate surroundings without the need to gaze outside. The room really is impeccably presented. Prices start from £27 in the evenings, with hours of opening roughly between 7.30pm and 9.30pm, although variations on traditional lunches are offered during Sunday afternoons. Wine exaggerates the bill, but it's difficult not to order amid the setting. If The Oak Room proves just that bit too stuffy for some among your party, or even yourself, there is a far less formal bar located in the next room which makes for a pre or post-meal rendezvous spot. From there, the attractive outdoor seating is easily accessible so it should not be too long before you relax.

Desserts were; white chocolate cheesecakes. Wine; Malbec and Chardoney Afternoon opening 12-3, nice underground setting - great artwork dotted about. Nice selection of wines and ales. Service was great. Knowledgable staff. The food was superb. Scallops were tasty, and accompanied with a delicious aoli. My steak was cooked to perfection - medium rare, my parents has medium and again it was exactly as you'd expect. Dessert was sweet without being too strong, and went perfectly with a double espresso. There's also a nice selection of spirits for the end of the meal, so a frangelico and a whiskey were also appreciated. I can't recommend it enough. Price was good. Plenty of other local bars around to nip to after. Happy customer!

Shortly after finding a table in the late morning the crowds came in. If you plan on coming with a large group I recommend calling ahead to get reservations. They were serving the breakfast/brunch menu during our seating. I opted for the bacon pancakes. The food is presented just beautifully like the perfect instagram photo. And it tastes just as good. If you are a tea drinker you must order a pot just for the cute factor. All teapots come out dressed in little tea cozys. I wonder if they sell them as they all look homemade. My only complaint is that the food came old on the cold side. Perhaps it was due to how crowded it was, but it was like the food had been sitting out for a while. Regardless it still tasted amazing. I think prices for the Plough are affordable. If you have an Independent Birmingham card you receive a discount so keep that in mind. They have a beer garden out back that must be wonderful on sunny days..if we ever get any. I really want to get back there for lunch or dinner. And maybe try a cocktail if they have any. If you're ever in Harborne try it out.

I ate here 2 months ago and it was awful. I should have known it would be a nightmare as i have had…read moreproblems here before but we thought we'd try it and the food was overpriced, microwaved and generally terrible. On my previous visit, i had struggled to pull up a high chair with my daughter and bag under my arm, the lady who worked there just sat there with her friend watching, once i managed to get myself sorted and get my daughter fed the lady came over and told me i couldn't sit there as the table was reserved (it was 3.30 on a quiet afternoon, all of 3 other people in the place) i couldn't believe how rude she was, she said she was the manager as well ! when i said 'thanks a lot' under my breath she started having a go at me, we vowed never to go in there again. Food is generally £10 per head, fish dishes from £14, a bit pricey for poor food and poor service. I have given this place 2 stars as they do have a gated area outside that is good for children to play in the summer, however you are not allowed to eat anything more that a starter out there and that generally causes them an inconvieniance !

I used to be a huge fan of this place but it has really gone down hill. We visited last week and…read moreour meal was appalling. Upon arrival we noted that the tables were sticky, there were children gambling on the fruit machines and the whole place seemed chaotic. The chap on the opposite table was in the process of sending his steak back as it was inedible. We should have left at that point in hindsight. Our starters never arrived and having heard the other complaints regarding the food we decided to go without them and move onto the mains. My meal wasn't even cooked?! The meat on my brothers mixed grill was inedible and my husbands pie was 98% mash! To add insult, the meals had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time as the lettuce on the salads was brown and slimy. We asked to speak to the 'manager' who could not have cared less and didn't seem to understand why we were complaining. She just stared at my father with a vacant look on her face. She made no attempt to apologize and seemed to think that this was nothing out of the ordinary. To make matters worse, when I said that the the whole meal was awful and older waitress collecting drinks at the bar turned and laughed at me! I'm so glad she found our ruined family meal so funny. I can only imagine that they are under new management as standards have really slipped. The kitchen needs a visit from environmental health if they think that sending out un cooked food and off smelling meat is acceptable. I have made a formal complaint to the brewery in the hope that they can intervene and save what was once a lovely pub.

Two stars means. "Meh. I've experienced better"…read more I really want to like this place. I really do. I went before because I was told how great it was and how I'd love it. I didn't see what tea's were available and when I asked at the counter I was told to look at a sign that was 15-20 foot away. I had to take 4 steps towards it to get a proper look. I had given my table number but no suggestion was given if I was to wait for my tea to be prepared or to return to my seat. Then I couldn't get on the WIFI.. even though it claimed a good signal. Did it think all the people who had visited and logged on were still there?? Customer Service is KEY!! Update... They've just earned a star back as they tweeted me about the poor wifi issue..

I stumbled across this place whilst looking for somewhere to grab a quick snack whilst on the way…read moreto take care of some boring business in north Birmingham. The reviews are generally pretty decent, although a little mixed, so it looked a good should. Inside the décor is really relaxed with lots of shabby chic and exposed wood, pleasant and with plenty of space to sit. Its apparently part of a chain of lounges situated throughout the country, but I cant say I have ever come across one. Each lounge has a different name (i.e. Ocho, Trago, Verdo) so perhaps its that it isn't immediately obvious (or im not very observant). The food menu is extensive. This often worries me, because getting such a wide range of food spot on is always going to be pretty difficult, and in this case it proved to be an issue. The burger was served on a stale bun and was generally uninspiring and the Chicken and Avocado panini was served with an avocado sauce rather than fresh. The chicken was also reminiscent or packaged stuff from the supermarket. The portions were a little stingy too. So the food wasn't great, but with the general vibe of the place, the service and the comprehensive drinks menu, this place is a pretty good catch all type of bar/cafe. I wouldn't advise travelling to go here, but I don't think there's anywhere local doing anything similar at the moment.
