    Even though we arrive late, we were accommodated and seated promptly. The staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu. We had the squid and the prawns tempura, both were delicious. One of us had the duck salad and the other the chicken skewer and again the food was delicious . The food was served promptly so we were able to attend a concert at the Utilita Arena which is directly opposite. Would definitely come again.

    Hi Tracey, Thank you for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed the food & service, and that everything was prompt for your concert. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kind regards, BANK Birmingham

    Absolutely abysmal service. A group of 10/12 people were eating their desserts before we even got our mains. Mains were decent, starters were unbelievably below par and I could have made them myself at home. Food was cold and I don’t know what Valentines experience I booked for but it definitely wasn’t worth the money I paid for on the bill. Overpriced for what it is. I’d rather have eaten at Nandos. Disappointing. Not visiting here in the future. Pathetic.
    Bank BirminghamResponded on 18 February 2025
    We're really sorry to hear about your experience. This is absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide, and we understand how frustrating it must have been, especially on a special occasion like Valentine’s. We appreciate your honest feedback and will be addressing these concerns with our team to improve. If you'd be open to discussing this further, we'd love the chance to make things right—please feel free to reach out to us directly. Best Regards, Angelika

    First time to this restaurant, which disappointed. Thought this was a high end restaurant in Brindley Place, but was of low standard, they allow youngsters to come in wearing t-shirts and jogging pants, which certainly made it more of a McDonalds feel. Also hired staff, who did not have a clue and aggressive managers who if you complained about the food being cold, would not acknowledge it and want to use aggressive tactics like security to kick you out. Not the kind of valentines experience, both myself and my wife wanted. So avoid this restaurant like the plague. Also way overcharged for champagne x 4 times the price you can buy in the shop. As for live music, it was merely 80's dance music played from a cd, nothing special. So plenty of lies from a restaurant in the city centre, which serves to everyone, probably even the homeless! Also still felt hungry and had to order more food from a takeaway, that's how small the portions were, from the Bank! Never again visit this rip off place! Update 15/02/2025 - Got the usual oblivious owner response to my review. If smart casual is t-shirt and jogging pants, then this is not a place that should be in the city centre, but somewhere else. When you spend over £100 on a special occasion like Valentines and make the effort of dressing up, you don't expect to see other diners in t-shirt and jogging pants! As for any aggression, wholly dispute this, there was more aggression from the manager, not listening to mine and my wife's concerns about the food given and we have every right to complain about this. Because we felt we were not heard, the situation was not great for us and we were both happy to leave. If only restaurants would take on criticism and use it in a way to improve, then there would not be so many 1 star reviews for the Bank. I still stand by that this was more of a McDonalds experience, not a fine dining one you would ultimately expect. Update 16/02/2025 - MY WIFE HAS GOT FOOD POISIONING TODAY!

    Party of 4 with mixed food quality including one return of a fish plate that was cold and came back warm but rubbery. 3 burgers with 2 okay and 1 dry. Noise levels were off the chart. People shouting over the piped music and unable to hold a conversation at normal levels. 1.5 hour time limit for a table (in a half full restaurant) is too short ( when food has to be returned) and creates unnecessary pressure on the dining experience. Service was good albeit slow with a 1.5hr limit. Nice wine but poor selection of beer, no ales.
    Bank BirminghamResponded on 9 February 2025
    Dear John, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that some of your dishes didn’t meet expectations, especially the fish and burger. We’ll share this with our kitchen team to improve. We also understand that noise levels and time limits can affect the dining experience and will review these concerns. While we’re glad you enjoyed the wine and service, we appreciate your input on the beer selection and timing. Your feedback is invaluable, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience.
