Filini Bar Restaurant - Birmingham

We arrived to be told there was a Christmas party going on and we had not got a table of which we had a booking for. They said that they didn’t recognise or use open table for bookings. We were then sat in the lobby bar where all of the party guests were gathering and given a menu. When the food arrived it was cold and the steaks were just full of fat. Probably one of the worst experiences ever. Will never be setting foot in there again. Advise to anyone. DONT GO THERE.

I was taken to this restaurant for afternoon tea on my birthday. Unfortunately, the sandwiches were stale and it was obvious they had been made a while ago and stored in a fridge. The salmon was also brown in color. I informed a staff member about this issue, who then spoke to the chef. The chef insisted that the salmon was smoked, but as a chef myself, I wouldn't serve it to my customers. Additionally, when I ordered a flat white coffee, I was given ordinary coffee instead. The staff member later returned to apologize, saying she forgot and was tired, but she would go make me a flat white coffee. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit.

The restaurant offers a fantastic view for enjoying breakfast and grabbing a snack during the day. The staff was friendly and the coffee was good.

The food was decent but not exceptional. The service was average, with a long wait to pay the bill and a lack of available staff to assist.

This is a quirky bar located In the lobby of the enormous radisson blue hotel in Birmingham city centre I didn't like my drink
