   Despite being on the menu and when they called to confirm our booking 2 days before , they had discontinued the fixed lunch menu which offers better value. The food is overpriced £44 for a steak and it was underwhelming , it was very cold in the restaurant which they commented on when we arrived that they were fixing but there was no offer of complimentary tea or coffee as a nice gesture

   Dear Hannah, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the disappointment you experienced. The Prix-Fixe lunch menu was removed from our website on October 11th, which is why it was no longer available to select during booking. I understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after the confirmation call, and I regret that we didn’t offer a suitable alternative. I also sincerely apologize for the cold temperature in the restaurant and that we did not offer a gesture such as complimentary tea or coffee. Your comments about the food and the overall experience will be reviewed with the team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide a much improved visit in the future. Warm regards, Orelle Management

   A thoroughly enjoyable experience as always - attentive service, great menu, dishes beautifully cooked and presented. And panoramic views over Birmingham and beyond- what is not to like…

   Ambience is lovely with great views and nice decor. The waiting staff are friendly and professional. However the service was very slow - not enough staff I think. Our food was tasty but our main was quite cold - we would have complained but as we had waited 90 mins for mains to arrive we decided just to eat it as we were hungry . It promised so much but for the price did not hit the mark.

   Dear PamS, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance, views, and decor, as well as the friendliness and professionalism of our team. We’re truly sorry to hear that the service fell short of your expectations and that your main course was not served at the ideal temperature. Waiting 90 minutes for your food is far from the standard we aim to deliver, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. We hope you might give us another chance in the future to show you the experience we’re truly capable of providing. Thank you again for your honest feedback – it helps us grow and improve. Warm regards, Orelle Management

   The food was really nice the presentation and taste was great. The place itself is so nice I am glad we visited around winter time as it felt very cosy and festive. I have to say our table service by Michela was perfect, she is so lovely and well spoken and presents the food well and makes you feel very welcome and comfortable.

We’ll make sure to pass on your compliments to her, they’ll mean the world to her! We’d love to welcome you back anytime, whether for another winter visit or another season entirely.

   I chose the restaurant to make a birthday for a friend special but was my worst disappointment . 1. Too cold! I now have a cold and we were uncomfortable all through. I had given notes to write happy birthday with the name. When they brought the cake non chalantly and said “they are told someone’s birthday is on this table” it lacked a personal touch and we felt really down the whole time and left without dessert. We couldn’t wait to get away. This is definitely my last visit. The food presentation was also very poor.
   

   Orelle BirminghamResponded 2 days ago

   Dear Joy, Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry your visit fell short, especially for such a special occasion. The discomfort from the temperature and the lack of a personal touch in your birthday celebration are not reflective of the experience we aim to provide. We also regret that our food presentation did not meet your expectations. Please rest assured we’re addressing these concerns with our team to ensure improvements. Should you decide to visit us again, we’re committed to delivering the warm, thoughtful, and high-quality experience you deserve. Warm regards, Orelle Management

   It was our 25th anniversary and I requested a window table for intimacy in what is a busy and very popular restaurant and the view They seated us beautifully, everyone wished us happy anniversary and they finished probably the best three course meal weve ever had with chocolate truffles with an anniversary message Excellent

    t’s a pretty place and the waiters are lovely but unfortunately the food was absolutely terrible, the starters were still edible but the mains were terrible., we ordered a steak some rice and the soup of which only the soup was edible, the waiter was nice enough to remove the steak from our bill hence the 4 stars for the service but the actual food is awful. Unfortunately I’d honestly say don’t go and save yourself the disappointment and your money. Genuinely really upset I chose this place for my partners birthday.
