Great food and great service, we just loved it. Had the octopus leg ( I have never seen this before ). Will be going again soon.
As always we received a warm welcome and attentive service . Food is very good. We come here regularly and have been impressed each time.
We visited the restaurant in the evening on a week-end but the atmosphere in the restaurant was dull - only three tables were initially occupied and increased to five during our stay. The standard of the meal was reasonable but we had expected a more impressive presentation.
Lovely atmosphere and welcoming staff. The Oxtail Canelloni and Beef Cheeks were delicious and melt in your mouth. Great set menu value. I look forward to returning.
Lovely service with a smile from the owner. Seemed a little quiet but good food.
Amazing meal. We had scallops and soup, beef cheeks and lamb and creme brulee and passion fruit desserts. All delicious. Very friendly and welcomimg owner and lovely relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely return.
Food was impeccable, service was relaxed but attentive. Couldn't fault it and will be going back soon. Food was as close to Michelin without the over inflated prices.
Excellent restaurant serving authentic Spainish food and good value for money. The service was extremely warm and friendly a place I will definitely return to.
Excellent food and wine. Spoilt for choice. We all had different food and everyone was happy. Fantastic value for money. Best meal out in ages.
Food was just ok. Service was excellent though, prices were reasonable, but atmosphere was lacking
This is a little gem of a restaurant. We went for Sunday lunch, and the food and service were excellent. We will definately be going there again and we would recommend that you give this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed.
The Epicurean is a hidden gem that boasts fabulous food and fantastic service. It provides a wonderful experience for great value and far better than some of restaurant chains. If you are looking for a personalised and intimate dining experience with Michelin standard food for a fraction of the price then you must give this great place a go.
Excellent Good set menu, a la carte available, and at a reasonable price. Attentive service. Close to university and plenty of parking. Try it and you will not be disappointed.
Lovely little restaurant. Almost like a little family restaurant. Not a wide selection of food however it is all delicious. Reasonable price for high quality food.
Relaxed atmosphere. Good food, well presented but was not very hot when served. Will go again when the al la carte menu is back on after Christmas. Would recommend
Very welcoming and appropriately attentive. Food was excellent although the menu was different from what we were expecting from the website. Wine list was good although the one we wanted was out of stock. We will go back.
Great food, great people! I had a great time from start to finish. For the location it's a little bit pricey but it's nice and peaceful :)
Fantastic find - cannot recommend enough. Lovely staff with excellent food; really different and not something you would find normally in restaurants. Please give it a try as you will definitely not be disappointed.
Good, attentive service - but so it should be with only 2 tables in use at lunch time. Could be ideal for a very quiet meal.
Can't fault the staff very attentive and friendly. Food was just OK and seems quite overpriced. Menu sounds good but didn't quite live up to its promise.
A pleasant enough place, little altered from ‘Waters on the Square’. Polite front-of-house. Disappointed that the à la carte menu was not available, only the Christmas Menu with limited choices, and not all those available either. Food was quite ordinary and didn’t seem to have the ingredients specified on the menu. Heavily over-salted, too. The bread and butter was nice.
Superb. Top quality food and incredibly comfortable atmosphere without the price tag or restaurants of a similar quality. This restaurant is a real hidden gem within Birmingham.
We had a delicious meal beautifully served in a very comfortable and pleasing environment. The desserts were particularly light and sharp. We will go back!
Although the menu is small, that is to the benefit of customers as great attention is paid to every dish. The roast octopus is both refreshingly unusual and extraordinarily tasty, and the duo of creme brulee is sublime. The owner is discrete yet charmingly affable and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Lovely meal,presentation can be compared to a michelin stared restaurant ,friendly service, before long this will be one of the top restaurants in birmngham once word gets around
Food was excellent, service was even better. Front of house was very attentive, food was cooked fresh and came out 10 mins after ordering so minimal waiting. Would highly recommend.
We were warmly greeted by Alfonso on arrival & offered a choice of table. The menu provided a different choice to other restaurants we have visited. We decided to try the salmon, oxtail cannelloni for starters, followed by cod, beef cheeks for mains - what a good choice, excellent. We look forward to trying other dishes from the menu in the near future.
I dine at the Epicurian on a fairly regular basis. I have always find the food excellent and good value for money. The management and staff are always very welcoming and attentive !
Small restaurant in pleasant suburban shopping precinct. Unfussy decor, bare-topped tables but very comfortable seating. Food of high quality, in good-sized portions, served elegantly but without pretentiousness. Opened recently by owner with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants. Will return to try the a la carte dishes, not available at lunch on our visit.
A really enjoyable evening... The restaurant is cosy and nicely finished with friendly service. All of the food was great and the bottle of Verdejo was particularly tasty with the Mediterranean flavours in our dishes. Looking forward to the next visit!
Really good food and nice affordable wine. Very good service in a very nice environment. The owner is really friendly and knowlwgeble. I defensively recommend it?
Super atmosphere... Great food and super staff... We will be back... The staff could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Great value too... I had one very happy Mum on Mother's Day
Reasonably varied menu with a selection of meat and fish. The food was tasty, reasonably priced and attractively presented. Service was attentive and diligent. Just lacked a bit of atmosphere, that's all.
The food was excellent but we were a bit disappointed with the ambience and the service which were adequate but lacked a spark for a nice evening out.
A must visit restaurant - the best food we have had in ages coupled with a great atmosphere and great service. If we visit Birmingham again we know where we will be eating for that special meal.
We were greatly impressed by the food (amazingly tasty) and we really loved the cozy feel of the restaurant. The service was really good and we'll sure return sometime in the future.
Good food at a sensible price and a warm, attentive host. Free parking in front of the door. What else would you want? Just go!
Really nice restaurant, great service and the food was lovely, looking at the the little shopping complex it was in, it was a complete surprise and really nice to find such a nice little restaurant.
Very enjoyable lunch. Fresh and modern - beautiful presentation of food. Good choice and very friendly host. Very good value for money. Try this place. You won't be disappointed.
Food was excellent, beautifully presented and tasted amazing! I had the oxtail cannelloni for starter and Octopus for main and they were delicious. Service was excellent and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely love to go back and try more dishes!
Good food in relaxed atmosphere. Owner knowledgeable and very helpful. It may not be an adventurous menu but there is enough variety for most tastes. Perfectly adequate wine list.
