    The restaurant was perfect for a celebration (PGA Graduation from Birmingham University) the food was exceptional, beautifully presented, decent sized portions and good value for the price and venue. There was no rush by staff for you to leave the table, they were very attentive and friendly. Fantastic day and night views across the city .

    Delicious meal, lovely view and staff very attentive and not overbearing. It was my friends 1st visit and she had a brilliant time. She did suggest that it may be an idea to put a map of the view with specific landmarks - Birmingham Cathredral, Jaguar, Cadburys, Clent Hills etc.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 7 days ago
    Dear Jacqueline, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you both enjoyed the meal, the view, and the service—especially on your friend's first visit! We really appreciate the thoughtful suggestion about adding a map highlighting the landmarks—what a brilliant idea! We'll definitely pass that along to the team for consideration. We hope to welcome you both back again soon for another lovely experience. Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    First time visit to Orelle. The service was very professional and attentive but not intrusive. The food was outstanding and as it was such a clear day the views were superb.

    Overpriced, basic food. Constantly bothered asking if you want a drink but multiple people. So disappointed. Service charge and charity gift added to the bill, I don’t agree with. It should be down to the customer not forced. Won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on May 5, 2025
    Dear Nathan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations and that you found the food and service disappointing. We always aim to deliver high-quality dining with attentive service, and it’s clear we missed the mark on this occasion. Regarding the service charge and optional charity donation, both are discretionary and can be removed upon request—we're sorry if this wasn't made clear. Your comments have been noted and will be shared with the team. We appreciate your visit and regret that we won’t have the opportunity to welcome you again. Kindest, Orelle Management Team
