    generally food was ok. The starters and one main were good, one main the steak was very poor and I should habe sent back to the kitchen I cook better steak at home. I also ordered a Caraf of wine and they brought a bottle and opened it before I could say anything. Its a lovely setting but not sure its worth the cost if I am honest. The empty tables that night even given it was a thursday was telling
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 3 days ago
    Dear Jonathan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially with the steak and the mix-up with the wine. I completely understand how disappointing it is when a dish doesn’t meet your standards – especially when you know you can do it better at home! Your comments will certainly be shared with our kitchen team so we can address this directly. As for the wine, I apologise that you weren’t given the chance to clarify your order before the bottle was opened – that’s something we should have handled more carefully. We’re glad you appreciated the setting, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to deliver the full experience we aim for. Warm regards, Orelle Management Team

    What a fantastic evening this was - great sparkling wine paired with outstanding food. The food rivalled anything that we have had eaten in London - the executive chef,Kiran Suvarna, is an absolute star. We were hosted by one of Nyetimber brand ambassadors Sophie Robertson who spoke enthusiastically about Nyetimber - she has such a comprehensive knowledge of the brand - and all from memory - no notes required.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded 7 days ago
    Hi Neil, Thank you so much for your wonderful words – we’re absolutely thrilled you had such a fantastic evening with us! It means a lot to hear that the food rivalled your experiences in London – Chef Kiran will be delighted to know his work stood out so highly. We're also glad you enjoyed the Nyetimber evening – Sophie really does have a special way of bringing the story behind the wine to life, and we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to her too. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon – it’s always a pleasure to have you with us! Warm regards, Orelle Management Team

    Booked here ages ago as heard it was good and reviews were good. We were disappointed. I’d asked for a window table, which we got but with a girder obliterating the view. Starters were fairly good, especially my husband’s melon. I ordered fillet steak medium. I got rare. I left the uncooked pieces and felt paying extra for chips and a green salad was excessive as the undercooked steak was already £40. My husband ate his sea bream but left most of the rest. He disliked the tartare sauce which was too sweet he felt. We ordered Mille-feuille, a favourite. It was tasty but nothing like any Mille-feuille I’ve ever had! OK if you’re a fan of chocolate. I’m not but my husband is. Staff were effective but lacking in friendliness and inattentive I felt. I never complained, never do. Just avoid in future.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on July 2, 2025
    Dear Clare, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t meet expectations, especially after you’d looked forward to it. While all our window tables offer panoramic views, we understand some placements may affect it, and we regret this impacted your evening. We also apologise the steak wasn’t cooked to your liking and that other elements fell short. Your comments have been shared with the team. If you ever decide to visit again, please reach out to us directly — we’d love to make sure you're personally looked after. Kindest, Orelle Management Team

    Orelle BirminghamResponded on July 2, 2025
    Dear Amar, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the bread and sirloin steak didn't meet expectations on this occasion — that’s certainly not the standard we aim for. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention and will follow up with the team to ensure this is addressed. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for a much better experience next time. Kindest, Orelle Management Team
