Went to MPW in Birmingham on 16 June…
Went to MPW in Birmingham on 16 June .this was a present for Christmas from my partners daughter .we were hoping this to be very special ! The place Was lovely great views etc .we ordered the fillet steak medium rare.plus extra sides of onion rings and green salad. The steak was tasteless and bland The steak knife was blunt and had difficulty trying to cut into the steak as well as the fork was twizzling round in my hand .! Eventually when I got to eat the steak it was dry tough and tasteless!! The pepper corn sauce was like dish water ! The chips were ok and so was the extra serving of onion rings which was extra to pay for as well as the side salad! I ordered the bread and butter pudding which I thought would be light and fluffy with some crispy edges. But ended up with a square cut lump of tasteless doughy bread ! It was also on of the hottest days of the year ! The building has wonderful windows floor to ceiling ! We were feeling so hot and boiling I couldn’t wait to get out of there !it appeared that the air conditioning was not working!, When we came to pay for the extras we had we found out that a 20% charge was automatically added to the bill ! Which is very American like ! To add onto the whole experience if we had travelled into Birmingham in a different car to mine there would be extra £8 to pay plus the cost of the parking I will not be going back for many reasons .i am sure Marco has not tried or tested the food there lately and I would think he may be embarrassed of what’s happening Thankfully we had a great waiter James I have eaten many times at restaurants under Marcos name and had no issues I did make a complaint and they got back to me in good time but I don’t think it will make much difference Especially when I have read previous comments from other people ! I’m glad it’s not just me ! We can’t all be wrong
