Filini Restaurant

Had a fantastic meal in lovely surroundings with very helpful and friendly staff. Im quite a demanding customer asking for my order to be very specific, it was no problem and it was simply the best meal I've had in B'ham. A little pricy but you certainly get what you pay for. Only gripe to be had is that the air con made it a little chilly, however it was turned off on request! Superb!

We booked at Filini using the Special Offer '2 for 1 on main meals' which we thought was very good value. The Restaurant itself is very swish, modern and elegant but the staff made us feel very relaxed. The service was very friendly and efficient. The food was delicious, we had pasta for our mains (crab linguine and prawn parpadelle). We felt we got stung on the bill slightly - my 'small glass of merlot' was £7.25! and they had charged us for both main courses, which we had to ask to be taken off using the special offer. And the 10% service charge was slapped on, which I hate - I know it's commonplace now and I can understand if it's for a large table, but when there is just two of you, I think it is nicer to leave it to the diner's discretion. Who know's they make even get more than 10%, but it just takes the pleasure out of leaving a tip for good service.

The atmosphere here is really quite good. Soft lighting and quiet background music.

My starter of spaghetti with crab was really very good, but my main course of braised lamb shank was tasteless and unappeasing to the eye.My dessert of strawberries was servered in a wine glass was very very tricky to eat.

My husband had the assorted cold meats, which you really couldn't do wrong. 4 tiny lamb chops with tastless red peppers stuffed with tasteless pesto and a fabulously light chocolate torte.

All in all a very mixed quality meal and the courses were served with great rapidity. 3 course meal over in an hour. With 1 beer and 1 glass of wine the cost was £75
