"first line I still can't believe that I would still dare out of my warm bed at sub-zero weather for a birthday dinner! but yes, it happened. I must finally visit the famous steakhouse. not only that, this is a beautiful glass house. at the arrival we were met by a beautiful door host who brought us from the cold and felt very welcome. we were offered drinks while we were waiting, but we were just too cold. we finally went down to the restaurant area (up is only the bar and after the birthday girl had a garderobe disorder (again, the door host came to retaliation with safety needles much appreciated! the ambiente was nice and cozy and the tables are nicely decorated. our waitress offered to show us the raw cuts, so I said why not win the full experience. my friends were less interested. aha ha. Nevertheless, she gave a great explanation for all cuts and how to have done them best for full pleasure. you can tell me that I'm getting everything in the offer, right? my friends ordered their drinks, a bottle of champagne and cocktails and I asked for a crippled water. it took a while until our drinks came out, and so we asked ourselves that they had run out of passion fruit for the cocktails and had to buy some! well, I never (I usually sweat so when my order lasts too long, but the first time actually experiencing. in ordering our food, we find out that there was no lammage left, so that the birthday girl got half a mais fed chicken instead. I ordered gnocchi and broccoli with roasted mandel and stylton. ribeye steak has also been ordered with chips and mash. there are not many possibilities for vegetarian let alone vegan, but I had expected to have chips and dessert so actually a bonus with gnocchi. the free kesebrot was late because they had to bake it, so we were given maisbrot with butter and chimchurri, followed by hot cheese bread. absolutely delicious! I was really intrigued by maisbrot. our main thing came in good timing and everyone was happy with eating. well, except birthday girl spinat side, which tasted as if it was cooked over, so she brought her a fresh one that was much better. I enjoyed my gnocchi especially because it first tries gnocchi. I smeared it with chimchurri (we went through two pots of the witness! . the broccoli was not over boiled, so was thrilled about it, but I am not a fan of the stylton. the food went well down and we were really filled. After our table was cleaned out, the cake was brought out as we sang according to “happy birthday for you”. our waitress had her moments, but overall she was a joy and very helpful. I can actually say that all employees were big and even with delays in service, it was good with good character and humor compensated. thanks, gaucho. broadgate for the host of the 26th birthday dinner of my dear friend and a cold night to make feel exceptionally warm! I would recommend this gaucho especially for their service and beautiful ambiente."

"Greeted at the door by a selection of Gaucho 's smiliest employees, you are instantly made to feel important in the glitzy interior of London 's favourite steak churning chain. The first stage and a true highlight of the Gaucho experience is the introduction to the different cuts of meat that the restaurant offers. This includes a viewing of each cut, and an explanation as to how the anatomical composition of the eastern Argentinian cows grazing on 19 different species of Las Pampas grass affects the taste and texture of each. Naturally, the second stage is the food and drink itself. We sipped on our delicious strawberry and elderflower martini 'special ' cocktails before tucking into a shared starter the extremely tasty Sausage Platter. The mains soon followed. I had ordered a 400g rare fillet steak that, had it been on the menu, would have fallen somewhere between the Bife de Lomo and the Chateaubriand. I was assured that I would be able to cut it with a spoon an audacious claim but not drastically inaccurate. With this, I picked at thyme finished Chips and Spring Greens that were also brilliantly cooked. Finally, I sampled the Dulce De Leche Profiteroles and the 'special ' chocolate meringue cake for dessert, which, as I day dream about what I am to cook for my lunch, have my mouth watering even now. I was there for a saturday evening dinner for three peak time yet the service was little less than exceptional, despite (or perhaps helped by) the fact that the waitress verbally contracted to serve our table claimed to have only very recently been hired. A little management led kerfuffle over our table towards the end was made up for by the gift of a glass of dessert wine each, a touch that rounded off an excellent evening at this meat lovers paradise."

"Primitivo Bar Eatery in Birmingham’s Colmore Business District celebrate their Anniversary this week. Coincidentally, its also me and my wife's Anniversary this week. So where better to enjoy lunch in the sun. The weather was incredible, a pavement table was available and...Rishi Sunak was footing of the bill up to a maximum of per person. If there was a fruit machine in the bar, it would be the equivalent of scoring three big ticks followed by an endless waterfall of coins. Primitivo reopened two weeks ago with a full array of safety precautions; foot operated sanitizers, protective screens, a one way system and a food menu allowing reduced numbers of staff in the kitchen. There’s even single visitor loos on hand so no more taking your friend with you. There’s even a new South American beer, Modelo for those who want to avoid the C word. I opted for Sparkling Water, with temperatures north of degrees centigrade, it went down like Champagne. I was in a Glasgow Wetherspoons last week and ordered Haddock and Chips. I’m not saying it was intimidating but even the fish ran out. Back in Brum, Primitivo are thankfully more on the ball with stock levels. Despite half a century and at least hours of unwrapping fish and chips, I can’t claim to be an expert but this was, as my daughter would say, ‘fire.’ For readers above the age of the Haddock and Chips; beer battered haddock, hand cut chips, mushy peas and tart sauce is a very good thing. Anji chose the Thai Fishcake; delicately spiced with chilli and lime, fresh spring onion salad and sweet chilli dressing with a side of Fries (V) She kindly offered me some and it was awesome. The kitchen boasts local gastronomic heritage, Chef Murray is non other than local legend Paul Fulford’s son. It’s like going to Guitar Guitar on Hagley Road and buying a Fender from Eric Clapton’s kid. Both meals, a side and soft drinks allowed us to take full advantage of Rishi’s Eat Out to Help Out cap of per person. Eat Out to Help Out runs until the end of August. It’s good to see Government use Nudge Economics to encourage those who can, venture out and support the hospitality industry. VAT has also been temporarily reduced from to We learned this morning we are officially in recession. Supporting local independent businesses is the fast track to get our region back into the fast lane. The money spent in venues such as Primitivo fund the wages of it’s staff and are reinvested locally. Thank you to all the team for a fabulous experience. Congratulations Prit on your Anniversary."
