Recess At Brindleyplace

The fish and chips were beautifully prepared, featuring a crispy batter; however, the portion size was a bit on the smaller side.

Excellent service. Made a lovely decorative table for my partner's birthday and the afternoon tea was delicious. Super friendly staff, highly recommend

I can highly recommend the Nachos and other appetisers. The staff were friendly and welcoming, particularly the bar man who made our cocktails to order :

when we arrived, we had no booking and said we did not use an open table more, whole restaurant for a Christmas party booked so in bar area false food came then would not take cash if we came to pay left cash on table and went out thanks for a stressful catastrophe on what our first night was for over 6 months after a baby, never back

we arrived for a booking of 1:30. the tables have been set up but leave the restaurant. we then went through the bar, in the hope to find personal. there was a barmaid involved in a long conversation with a customer about the bar. after a few minutes being completely ignored, we went out. we were hoping to talk to someone at the reception, but she kept a phone call and didn't even make eye contact. So the only evaluation I can give is to take their own lunch package and are prepared to sort themselves when they come there

posh nosh par excellence! the day after the boxing day for an early dinner in front of the Symphony Hall and chose the city cafe because it was one of the few places that were open early enough on this bank holiday. Although empty and somewhat cool, probably due to the fact that we first in and it was sub-zero outside, the service and eating here is so good, and somewhat more affordable by the special two or three cures meal for not all that much money made. very beautiful, will definitely go back if we are not so in a hurry to come to a concert. I don't think we ever had such a good service.

Visited with a Groupon for afternoon tea. Our waitress was amazing really helped us with a problem we had and let us have the afternoon tea in the bar area when we asked. I can’t complement her more (I didn’t catch her name, but it was 2pm on 31st May in case her manager is reading this) I would agree there could have been a couple more sandwiches but the quality was good, the scones very fresh and small cakes were great. Having unlimited tea and coffee was terrific as there was a wide selection for each or even hot chocolate. The decor and vibe was fantastic.I would definitely recommend a visit Like Share

This modern continental restaurant located in the Holiday Inn hotel boasts a beautifully designed, upscale interior. The menu offers a good variety of options; we opted for the afternoon tea. While it was a simpler experience than what one might typically expect from a hotel, it was presented beautifully. The scones were warm, though there were only three finger sandwiches, and we were not offered refills. The egg mayonnaise sandwich was delicious! The cakes appeared to be sourced from a premium factory, but they were enjoyable nonetheless, featuring mini carrot and walnut cakes, a Victoria sponge, and a chocolate éclair.

The atmosphere was delightful, and the staff were very welcoming. I enjoyed the afternoon tea, but I was a bit disappointed with the selection. The scones and the small chocolate cake were delicious. However, I would have appreciated more small sandwiches, as we only received three thin slices each, which seemed a bit limited. The scones and the petite chocolate cake were certainly the highlights. The cream cake was decent too, but we both left the cinnamon cakes behind, as they just weren't to our taste. I would definitely consider coming back to try something from the lunch menu, but I probably wouldn't opt for the afternoon tea again. Overall, I’d give it 4 stars for the lovely atmosphere...
