Adam's Restaurant

We came to Adams for my birthday with my husband and four year old daughter. We last came here for our 2nd wedding anniversary many years ago. The food and service was just incredible! I am so so pleased that Adams is so family friendly. The staff made a fuss of our daughter and she absolutely loved her experience there. It can be hard to find fine dining places that are so welcoming to children. We will come again!

We really loved it here. The food was excellent. Some of the chefs that came to explain their dishes could have spoken a bit slower and taken a bit more time to explain. They go so fast spmetimes you hardly get to actually understand what they are saying. We had a nice tour in the kitchen. Again, it was a bit rushed. Would have liked more insight. However all in all we had an amazing night. One more comment; I would say its a little bit too expensive for what you get. If i was comparing it with Opheem for example.

Went on fancy date night with the other half. Over all was great end to end experience for fine dining. Bill was little over £400, so there really needs superb all around experience, which fell a bit short. (Bit of noise in the restaurant and had different servers for the night and couldn’t hear some of them as they were describing the dish) 4.5/5 for me, purely due to cost vs. Experience ratio. Would go back under the right circumstances.

A fantastic atmosphere and a very good service and food. The wine flight is superbly matched to the food and provides some I testing and wonderful pairings. Highly recommend, though expensive, even by Michelin stared restaurant standards. On the whole, worth the expense.

We attended at lunchtime, booking for my partner’s 40th. We were greeted warmly, and the service was exemplar from start to finish. The cocktails were delicious, as were the mocktails. The starting snacks were next level, especially the Parmesan crisp with mushroom mousse! The tasting 7 menu really wowed, the quail with smoked cashew, the halibut, and the venison were real standout dishes, but the blackberry dessert was next level - the word for that dessert is “exquisite”! We felt honoured to be the first to try the new dessert too! An extra nod of gratuity for being so careful about my shellfish allergy too, it is so appreciated. Thank you for an incredible afternoon - we have left full up and not stopped revelling in the experience since getting home.

We really enjoyed lunch from the taster menu. Food was extremely good so was the friendly professional staff. Nice atmosphere with good service.

Visited on a weeknight with my wife as a Birthday celebration. From the moment we walked in and were greeted, we experienced service of the highest level. From the two exquisitely dressed gentlemen that saw us to our table, ensuring we were comfortably seated, to the lady that helped serve our dishes. Each plate was exceptionally well presented. The food itself transcended a “normal” dining experience. Each dish brought different taste sensations to the palate; we were quite often mouthing “wow” across the table. The dishes and ingredients were explained in detail upon arrival which demonstrated that all staff were well versed as far as the menu was concerned. Course after course after course, each one a culinary masterpiece. Kudos to your chefs and kitchen. This was a top tier dining experience that I would highly recommend to friends and family.

Take it from someone who will go to his 20th Michelin ⭐ restaurant tomorrow night, this is at the summit of all the 1* ones I've been to. The plating is incredible, everything works and this is a must return restaurant especially when the menu changes. These photos should tempt anyone, detail on point and if these don't tempt you, nothing will.

Excellent Michelin star restaurant. We reserved the special basement area in front of the kitchen for our special occasion. A lunch and dinner prefix menu are available and change by season. The small aperitifs in between courses were exceptional. For example, we were surprised by a single muscle surrounded by a cucumber gazpacho; a work of art with intense flavor. The tomato appetizer was the group favorite. Even those that typically don't care for tomatoes really appreciated this dish. All dishes were unique, creative, interesting and delicious. The perfect place for a special occasion.

It's getting harder and harder to pick a winner for the best Michelin restaurant in Brum these days. I probably should stop trying as they're all fricking exceptional, and Adams doesn't let the team down and fully justifies its current no.1 status on Trip Advisor for Birmingham restaurants. From the second you walk into the new restaurant, it oozes class and luxury. The old pop up, which I had the fortune to visit twice, was small and always felt temporary. This place feels like home. The bar area is gorgeous, full of light and reflection with very attractive lights hanging. The 2 pre-dinner drinks we had were winners, the negroni was probably the best incarnation I've had and Em's amaretto & champagne fizz was lush. Then into the opulent dining room, and straight into the 9 course tasting menu (the supplementary lobster course was a no brainer). I couldn't fault any of the courses to be honest, the highlights were definitely the monkfish which was chunky and delicious, the grouse which I've never had before, and 2 sweets were awesome. I also need to include the crab mousse inside the spring roll on the lobster course - one of the best things I've tasted. A word also for the 4 snacks pre meal, which is an excellent touch that Michelin places seem to all add - the tempura prawns were a perfect balance of crunch, succulent prawn and a delicious side sauce. The service was exceptional - not overbearing or intrusive, with plenty of delicious bread and all courses were well explained. Adams is definitely an experience all foodies need to have. Obviously not cheap but well worth splashing out for special occasions!

This was my 4th visit here - but 1st in this new Waterloo St location. The restaurant location is excellent and the spacing inside is great! Our table of 7 were sat towards the back - great considering how noisy our conversation got. The Chef's table is downstairs. We had the 9 course tasting menu. Some of us tried out the wine pairings - and there were a choice of 2 flights. Those who tried the more expensive pairing weren't as impressed with the choices. The food was - as always - delicious. Couldn't fault a single dish. The staff are good at asking about allergies and working around them.

This is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to! Well it is a Michelin star restaurant which means it's amazing but it had a different aspect to it which meant it loved it even more. Ok so the food was fantastic, at some point I had a sort of mushroom croquette which was heavily. Full in flavour, earthy and simultaneously light and just melted on the tongue. Really every course was just incredible, even the bread was to die for. We had a bottle of rasteau which was beautiful! But now what surprises me the most was that the staff and the whole atmosphere was very relaxed, no stuffiness, it wasn't pretentious either. The staff were friendly and professional but nice. Just really nice! I loved it! We even wrote a blog about it - fine dining without the fuss: https://yumzee.co.uk/2016/07/23/fine-dining-without-the-fuss/ Superb restaurant! Will creditably go back

This was my first time here and it was beautiful. It is pricey but what an great experience of fine dinning, the whole experience was worth it. I wish I had taken photo's of all the dishes I had as they were delicious. We had the 3 main course, but you get little ontrays inbetween each course which were delightful. If you want to try fine dinning please come here, the place and staff were friendly and welcoming.

Wow what more can you say about Birmingham's top Michelin Star restaurant. Insider tips are this will make the second star at the next Michelin reviews and after this meal I can say the rumours will be true! A very pricey night with the bill coming to a whopping £180, this is a true dining experience for real foodies. The service matches that of the French, the food is world class and the ambiance is supreme. You will be welcomed to meet the head chef and the true mastermind behind the restaurant if you ask politely which is always a fantastic touch. Check out the pics for your pleasure. 100%, 10/10, 100/100, 5/5 whatever you want to call it!
