Average at best and disappointing at any price. Visited Birmingham branch in the Cube. Not all bad, it’s a great and iconic location with views over Birmingham and the steaks were great cuts of meat. But all let down by appalling service which was so slow despite the place being virtually empty, overall food was below average and well below what I’m sure the namesake would expect. Staff seemed disinterested, there were several around chatting and we felt like an inconvenience to the front of house. After being seated it took 20 minutes to take an order for even drinks. We ordered food at the same time which took 40 minutes to arrive. Not great at any time but the place was almost empty. The steaks themselves were good cuts, but along with sauce and spinach were lukewarm with soggy soda bread which I think it was sat waiting to be served too long. It expensive but you’re paying for the name and the location nothing more. £275 for 4 mains and a bottle of wine plus a few a drinks, not helped by adding £20 to sit near a window even though it was nearly empty. If good food and service is more important, then there are better options at less than half the price. I’d suggest a candidate for kitchen nightmares, we won’t be back.
