    Food was delicious, however: Took over 2 hours, almost 3 to have dinner. Desserts not included. Cote de boeuf ordered, however wasn't hot, but mild, almost cold. Service and attitude was superb.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded today
    Dear Rodrigo, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted that you found the food delicious and that our team's service and attitude stood out. However, we sincerely regret that your meal took longer than expected and that your Côte de Bœuf wasn’t served at the ideal temperature. That’s not the standard we strive for, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve. We truly value your visit and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother and more enjoyable dining experience in the future. Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    Fantastic ambience, great views over Birmingham. Food was good but rather expensive even without the 12.5% service charge automatically added on top.

    Really nice lunch time meal for two.Would have given 5 stars for food except for the fact that the mains were not very warm. Exceptional starter Tuna Tartare and desert Apple and Fig. The Pork saddle dish was also really tasty but somewhat cold and we needed steak knives to cut it up which were not provided initially. About £170 from the set menu choices including a couple of sides and drinks.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on 12 March 2025
    Dear Stewart, Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the Tuna Tartare and Apple & Fig dessert—great choices! We appreciate your comments about the mains and the steak knives, and we'll pass this on to the team to ensure an even better experience next time. We hope to welcome you back soon for a perfect meal! Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    Nice staff but not enough and there was a shift change before we left!
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on 11 March 2025
    Dear Terance , Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you found our staff nice! In hospitality, it’s normal for team members to have a shift change, as those who worked the lunch service take a well-deserved break before returning for the evening shift. We always aim to ensure a smooth transition so that service remains attentive throughout. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back soon! Kindest, Orelle Management Team.
