"So we went to the restaurant with some friends the other day. I dropped my partner and her friend at the entrance until I parked since there is no parking in front of the restaurant and one of them is pregnant. It took me a total of 19 minutes to park the car and het back to the restaurant during those 10 minutes the waiter went twice to ask them if they'd like something to drink and although they initially replied that they were waiting for their partners he sent the manager out the bar to ask them in a more intimidating way and so they ordered water. Highlighting that this happened in between 10 minutes. When we arrived at the restaurant, we ordered the roasted bread, which you can actually see it wasn't roasted or warm. By the time our mains arrived the table next to us was empty and remained empty for until the time we left so made me question why the staff asked my partner a few times on what they would have making it look as they were in a hurry since there was ppenty of sitting space within the restaurant. During the whole time we were in the restaurant, there were a few flies around us which you wouldn't really expect in an indoor space restaurant of this price point. The food was amazing. We had 2 of the hake fillet and the sea bream. On the other hand my friend who ordered the sea bream was expecting it this with asparagus but instead it came with another green which would be nice to know from before. I got a creme brulee for a desert, the short bread biscuit was amazing the top of the creme was crunchy but yhe inside could have used some extra taste. All in all, if the service wasn't this poor and the flies weren't present, this review could have been way more positive."

"our visit was a casual lunch in the bank holiday on Monday. we enjoyed a large bottle of French wine next to some of the best food I had for one. I chose the plowers with a weighty price tag. may I say it was venerable and probably worth more. also a homemade burger with a Brioche neck came and was well received. we had unusual desserts that were homemade and complex and a great finish to our meal. we were greeted at the arrival and generally very well sought. Top brands. look forward to the next time. I'm eager to go back and be a nice change like home, instead of driving too breast."

"Great welcome on a Sunday evening. Really and genuinely kind and attentive staff. Clearly a team approach. Despite being a single cover very flexible. Menu was truly fantastic with the old favourites but a wide specials board. I came for a quick pizza but the high quality good value wine by the glass and crab linguine beckoned. The best Italian meal for years. Great service and great coffee to finish. I’ll be back tomorrow for another special restaurant experience but will it be skate wings, lobster, scallops or maybe just a pizza with a great view over the sands? Not expensive."

"I visited this restaurant to celebrate my daughter's 40th birthday. The ambiance was fantastic, with many other guests also marking special occasions. The service was top-notch, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent, although I found the portion sizes to be a bit small considering the price. For example, I ordered the duck for £20, which came with a very small side of chips. My prawn cocktail starter, priced at £9, was delicious but did not come with any bread, which was unusual based on my previous experiences. I also found the £3.50 charge for a pint of soda water with blackcurrant to be a bit steep. Despite these minor issues, we all had a wonderful evening and would highly recommend this restaurant for celebrating special occasions."

"Mehhh. What can I say. We came because we watched the programme recently with Fred who went and ate here. Was bang up for the scallops we saw being caught on the show. Listen. They were really tasty. But there was a distinct lack of volume when it comes to portions. The main was the sea bass for 2. Again it was tasty but lacking in substance. For £120 with 1 glass of wine and a Diet Coke I want to feel bowled over. I want to fall in love with the food and the venue. I just didn’t get it. Your Mum/Gran would absolutely love it though if you want to take her out for some expensive food and try and show her you’ve made it."

"I work in West Bromwich so often stay over i have eaten at Lucarelli in The Postbox and the meal was exceptional but this is West Bromwich, it cant compare, can it? Away i needed somewhere to stay and hotel prices where double there normsil rate so I rang Lucarelli and they sorted me a room. Which was very nice for the price in fact much better than anything locally for a similar price. I had a great double bed a huge TV beautiful towles, the water was red hot and the hotel was quite i had the best night sleep in years. I had no intention to eat at Lucarelli but I has soon has i walked in the smell of garlic hit me and when my friend turned up we stayed. Dover sole, the famous fried courgettes and a couple of brwads with cheese and andouille (not sue about spelling). Food was fantastic, service was exceptional and a big thank you to Vinnie for looking after us, I will definitely be back."

"First time visiting for my wife’s 50th. First impressions were good, lovely place and staff seemed attentive. The starter was really nice, only ruined by the mains coming before we had finished the starter. We ordered a second round of drinks which took 25 mins to arrive. I asked 3 times and was told they were on there way. When they finally arrived my wife’s drink was not what she ordered, was a rum based drink rather than gin. There were then 3 members of staff arguing right next to our table about the drinks orders being messed up. To top everything off I had called in advance and asked for a birthday cake to make it a special occasion, unfortunately this was forgotten about too. Overall just really disappointed. I really expected a better experience."

"We had Sunday lunch at the Green Man yesterday and I can honestly say it’s the best roast dinner I’ve had at a pub for many years in fact I am struggling to think of one as good ever. We were a party of six and three of us had starters. The duck pate was very good could have done with one more piece of bread as there was a LOT of pate. The avocado starter was tasty but the Tiger Prawns were absolutely divine. A generous plateful cooked to perfection and so tasty. Then there were the roasts WOW! The three males in our party all went for the Combo with beef and pork and our plates arrived absolutely piled with meat. We all asked for our beef medium rare and I can honestly say it was the tastiest cut of beef I have ever had in a pub Sunday roast. It melted in the mouth and was full of flavour. My wife had a roast halibut dish which she said was amazing. Unfortunately we were so full after two courses we couldn’t face a dessert. All of us said we were going to hole to flop on the sofa for several hours and recover. The place was totally full and I can see why we had to pay a deposit. They could fill a place twice the size easily. For a small pub they had loads of staff who were all very friendly and cheerful and who checked on us constantly without being intrusive. We don’t live locally so it may be our only visit which is a shame as I’d go back there anytime."

"Parking is quite convenient, though on a sunny weekend we had arrived by 9am which was adequate to ensure availability of parking. By the time that we left at 11am, there wasn 't really much parking left. We had breakfast, which isn 't really what Rick Stein 's is about (that 's seafood), but it is a restaurant with a good deal of visual drama of dining in the restaurant area with the 'Harbour View '. Certainly, climbing up the stairs and passing the kitchen to be greeted with the view of the harbour is fantastic. There weren 't any real complaints about the food, which were all very good ingredients. The coffee was good and the brewed coffee offered complimentary refills. The **** mary was really good. The children were catered for on the same menu and they seemed to scoff their food too ages ranged from four to thirteen! For me, the pick of the dishes was the crab omelette, a must have. Service... they were all very nice and professional but had a tendency to gaze downwards rather than scanning the room, a personal pet peeve. Overall, it 's certainly a lovely place to be on a sunny Sunday morning and I would visit for lunch next time."

"We visited Oggi meaning today) on a cold November evening. The restaurant was brimming with people already at 6.45, so much so we skipped down to a local for 29 minutes until our table became available. The owner f the restaurant brought us delicious olives and bruschetta while we studied the menu. We were a table of 3 couples, four of whom had been close uni mates of 40 years. There was lots to catch up on, tears and laughter and clinking of glasses. The service was professional as yoi would expect from a good Italian restaurant. I am hard to please. I love good food, cooked well and this food was certainly the most delicious Italian I have eaten. Fat, sweet scallops in their shells, grilled with butter, cream and fine cheese. Rich and delicious. Fat, juicy king prawns cooked to perfection in a spicy tomato and garlic sauce. Thank goodness for the bread to mop up the delicious flavours. We ate pasta Oggi linguini with seafood, fresh cannelloni with ricotta and spinach, the best I have eaten, with such fresh flavours. We had fungi risotto with truffle oil and a portion big enough to feed two! We chose an organic Nero D’Avola from a single estate in Sicily. It was superb. Our host sang to us, recited beautiful poetry and brought a tear to our eyes with his generosity of sprit and honesty. I think each of us loved our experience and came away with a warm spot in our hearts for Reno and his superb Oggi, We will be back, for sure."

Try to have it then and there itself, because then the fish won’t be soggy and you’ll have great experience! P.S.: If you want to have some chilling spicy, carry for yourselves ;"

"originally very surprised that the lights were so bright that it ruined any chance of a beautiful atmosphere in a beautiful building. After we had set ourselves, we waited almost minutes before the waiter wanted to take our drinks. I'm not sure what he had to check or why he had to check before we ordered, because it was very quiet. he disappeared and a waitress appeared shortly after and took our job. our appetizers appeared immediately. my squid was treated in what can only be described as flour and water paste that was fried. it was very bland. my friend had the scallops that were good. the main thing was not great. my crispy halibut was tiny and the chips were really terrible. think about soggy palid school dinner chips. the beingeschirr of chard was beautiful, but overall the meal was bad. the cod curry of my friend with rice looked like a teller dog sick and had a massive bone in him, which was unexpected and she would not have chosen it if she had known it so. I've been closing with her. it tasted okay, but looked grim. the service was terrible with taking off the cat who brought the drinks that was very efficient. but he did not take the drinks orders, so we sat drinking water for half time. it's such a shame because it could be really good. sort out the lighting. they lose the gray pink walls and develop a certain content together with the waiting staff. they were all friendly, but not very good at selling food and drinks. on the plus side the fish was very fresh and it is very cheap."

"This was my first visit to Brassica Restaurant and after all the recommendations that I had heard I did expect something special. The service was attentive and cannot be faulted. We had dietary restrictions in our party, a Coeliac and a Vegan. The menu choice was interesting but limited. The reality when the food was brought was a disappointment, whilst it was nicely presented it did little to justify the high prices that are charged for the main dishes. Describing a dish as 'Organic Pork Shoulder ' is misleading... This would be better described as 'Thin slices of Organic Shoulder served cold with with tonnato and cornichions. ' Whilst the Steak Eaters were well served with a very nice Organic Angus Steak and The Vegan was served with a Violet Aubergine Caponata, though good, the general feeling was 'Underwhelmed '. The Vegetable sides at £10 per shot were quite literally a small side plate with a pauper 's portion, not sufficient to 'share ' at the table. If you have deep pockets and are prepared to accept pretty standard but adequate fare then this may be the place for you. Perhaps a rethink on side vegetables and menu is in order."

"The crab was lovely however the lobster special was sadly anything but, grey, smelly and far too fishy! So very disappointed and sorry to be writing this review, I had such high hopes and have raved about this place before, so much so I was excited to get a table. It was just a last minute booking to take my daughter and her fiance out whilst they were visiting for the weekend, I've previously given a 5 star rating and been here a few times with friends and never had a bad experience. I've had the lobster before here too, so I had every confidence it would be lovely, sadly, it was not! Our server was lovely and he did ask if we enjoying the food early doors, my daughter was eating hers (she ordered the same) and I asked her how was hers and she seemed to be enjoying it! So I politely nodded and tried again, no it wasn't to be. I thought maybe I had a bad bit, so I tried once more and ended up spitting it discreetly into a napkin. I 100% appreciate I should have said something then and there, but it is such a small intimate restaurant and I just didn't want the fuss or to spoil the evening for everyone else! I didn't leave a tip, well just the minimal change as I was so disappointed. The whole experience for me was ruined. We all enjoyed the spiced crab starter and the red wine x2 and maybe if the lobster had been spiced I wouldn't have noticed and I tried to eat the pasta and prawns instead avoiding the lobster but eventually I gave up. We left without having a dessert as my daughter noticed I had pushed the lobster off to the side and was asking me what was wrong, I told her I had probably eaten too much crab and the lobster just didn't taste as nice. Her face said it all, oh my God, she said and then asked, do you think it was off looking at her empty plate and pulling a face ! Bless her, she can be very dramatic and I just wanted us all to go out for a nice evening, so I said No love, I'm sure it was fine. I'm just not feeling it tonight. The monkfish my son in law (to be) had was lovely and my other daughter who went for a veggie pasta option took hers home for later. The waiter as always is very professional, pleasant and kind but not even his charm could save the day. I knew it was not right and I suspect the persons or persons who cooked/served it knew too so why cause a scene. It may get me little respect, but I've joined the growing so called keyboard warrior crew by complaining online and in my own time. We went home and I made our own Affogato and a new version for my daughter with pistachio liqueur very nice they were too!"

"As a former senior manager for a hotel chain I am well placed to make objective comments. Whereas the Cliftonville used to be a warm friendly environment it has been replaced by a cold, uninviting layout. Totally lacking in atmosphere and what was once a haven of good food is now a shadow of its former self. Our food was slow on service,served on cold plates, and minimal in size. One has to question the calibre of management and the overall awareness of the owning company who clearly do not have a good understanding of customers needs. Like all the other numerous negative reviews I suspect this one will meet with the useful ineffective platitudes and excuses instead of facing up to the reality by actually doing something to resolve what is clearly an ongoing pattern of negativity and failure. Coming from a hotel chain where customer service was paramount it saddens me to witness avoidable failure We will not be back as there are other nearby venues that far exceed the drops that is the Cliftonville. It really saddens me to have to comment like this yet reality has to be faced"

"We have been to this restaurant on different occasions over many years and were booked in for Christmas Dinner, second sitting this year 2023. We have always been well looked after. Sadly this Christmas was a complete let down with a hugely disappointing, very expensive Christmas meal. We arrived as requested at 3.30pm and were taken to our table where cutlery and crockery were missing. Although the table was finally set we still had to request crackers during the meal and additional cutlery. While the starters were enjoyed we were not offered bread, although watched other tables being offered it. Our order of 5 turkey mains were varying in size, either just 2 to 4 sprouts , not ‘vegetables’ as advertised and just a few halves of small roasted new potatoes, rather thin slices of turkey, one cocktail chipolata. No sauces offered. The vanilla crème brûlée which was advertised as being served with a blood orange sorbet. It was infact served with strawberry ice cream and no notification by waiting staff that there was a change on the menu.The crème brûlée had no burnt sugar on it . The tables were packed tightly and to the point staff had difficulty in manoeuvring around everyone. I really felt for the young staff who were trying their best. When booking we had asked if they wanted us to pre book our meals, but said it wasn’t needed . Most probably the manager had not thought through correct quantities required for Christmas Day, and the result was a very poor offering. Sadly our patronage will now not be supporting this local business."

"Their food may well be amazing but unfortunately I find their social media bullying simply unacceptable. To go from reading an innocent and obviously misinferred comment to launching into a tirade of abuse towards that person, saying that persons profile 'cracked me up ', and inferring that the whole restaurant is laughing at that person seems pretty low indeed! Wouldn 't a simple old fashioned sorry you missed us, here 's a link to our opening times and we look forward to welcoming you soon have sufficed? Their fish may be ethically sourced but their 'banter ' certainly isn 't."

"Today wife and I celebrated my birthday and also my successful heart op. So it was a special day for us. We sat in the indoor terrace, nice and warm and enough people to give a nice atmosphere. Staff were absolutely superb. We both had scallops to start. Very good Followed by whole char grilled cuttle fish my wife found this dish to be excellent) I tried the pollock. Nicely cooked. I had chips with my fish and when I ordered a second lot they arrived in 2 or 3 mins a piping hot. We also had a sweet. Chocolate brownie with banoffee sauce and I had the peach Melba. Both excellent followed by tea and I had the fisherman’s coffee. Well done to all at rockfish and not forgetting all those behind the scenes. Kid-friendliness: Children were welcome and a nice high chair provided. Wheelchair accessibility: Having got a family member in a wheelchair I tend to take notice of ease of entry and roominess to manoeuvre. Not sure about toilets."
