The food was phenomenal, sea cream ceviche tastes exactly like the one I had in Lima, and the service was top-notch. Erika was fantastic, she is attentive, friendly, and made our evening truly special. Highly recommend!

Good food , one of the waiter was friendly and chatty ( student studying computer science ) one of the waitress was a bit abrupt when speaking to us ,but over service was good . The only negative was the toilet paper in the loos was thin and cheap. One of the hand soap dispensers was broken in the female loo ,just don't expect these little oversights when the rest of the hotel is so well maintained ,the hotel also smells lovely . Would visit again .

Such a shame that Laghis is closing tonight, Hopefully the fantastic skills of the chefs and the front of house staff will be recognised and an opportunity arise for them to work together in another restaurant in Birmingham.
