    A unique experience where food was very good in association with staff members that brim with the enthusiasm of having just commenced their new careers in the food industry. My only advice for the college would be to enable the tipping of staff through card payment. Alas we had no cash and therefore were unable to tip for the very good service received.

    We loved the food and the staff were very attentive. Some of them were a bit shy but their confidence will grow with experience. Loved the whole experience

    Had a lovely 3 course lunch - very skillfully cooked, great flavours and generous portions. Service was very polite and efficient. Good range of wines by the glass - pleased to see that they were sourced from Fraziers, a local independent wine merchant. Will be back!

    The food (particularly the starter and main course) is as good as you can find in a restaurant. The price is very good, considering the quality of cuisine.

    The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. Considering it is staffed by young people learning the restaurant trade it was a wonderful evening. We will certainly go again when in the Birmingham area.
