9.5/10Food and service were superb. Birmingham Food Festival made this fantastic venue even more appealing with a special tasting menu at £60 and an excellent wine pairing at £45. The staff make sure you are welcomed and part of the family, rather than simply a paying customer. Highly recommended.

10/10This was supposed to be a showcase for burgundy wines complemented by good food. It turned out to be excellent food complemented by very good wines. The Boeuf Bourguignon was superb - with more than a touch of Glynn Purnell's humour, A really excellent evening

9/10The food was excellent. Having been to few other Michelin starred restaurants, the ambience wasnt as good as the others. Service was ok. Sometimes too many empty wine glasses on the table and mix ups between waiters on which glasses should be there. For a 50% service charge, it could be better.

10/10Wonderful experience for my husbands 50th birthday. Staff were excellent, the sommelier was happy to explain about the wines and dessert was an extra special showpiece made even better, being served by the head chef. Highly recommend.

9.5/10First time at Purnells for all of us and we loved it. Great balance between taste and presentation, both of which were excellent. V good wine list too. Friendly, informal service. Very slightly let down by the ambiance which was a bit subdued but overall we had a great meal experience.

10/10A fabulous experience from start to finish with some interesting and different food, starting with edible charcoal and ending with a spectacular finish with a peppermint cloud. Service and food were excellent. We came away with memories which will remain with us for a long time.

9/10I went with the tasting menu for my 30th birthday. Food was amazing. Delicious. Staff were also amazing, constantly catered for and very polite. Fantastic customer service. Ambience, i dont know if its everyones appeal but i wouldve preffered better lighting, bit of background music and the decor is a little outdated.

7/10A little underwhelmed, food was good but not great, service was attentive but seemed a little slow at times. The dining room was unusual to say the least, 2 1/2 hours looking at picture frames that were not level, wallpaper that was just odd and empty tables, many empty tables.
