    After a long tiring week at work, Orelle was just what we needed. Excellent food, drinks, ambience and service. The wonderful Mihaela looked after us showing high emotional intelligence and attentiveness. The views were very calming and stunning.

    Extremely Loud house DJ music on the entirety of the meal. “Compulsory policy” to have a main meal per guest or instructed to leave even though when booking this isn’t stated just that it’s expected, not that without a main meal each we’ll have to leave the venue.
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on 4 February 2025
    Dear Eoin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the atmosphere and our dining policy did not meet your expectations. Regarding the two-course requirement, this is stated in our reservation confirmation email you received to ensure clarity before your visit, but we regret if this was not as clear as it should have been. We appreciate your comments and will review how we communicate this to make it as transparent as possible. We understand that music preferences vary, and while we aim to create a vibrant and lively atmosphere, we appreciate your feedback and will take it into account. If you'd like to discuss your experience further, please feel free to reach out to us directly. Best regards, Orelle Management

    Booked 19:45 on a Saturday night for my wife and we were promptly sat at our table and was asked 4 different servers for our drinks order. They’d also ran out of caviar for appetisers which, for a busy Saturday evening dinner service for quite poor. Food was great and in particular the fillet steak flavour was amazing. Ambience wise, it’s very very dark and the we had to keep moving the table lamp to read menus! Very loud also and we had to shout to hear each other. Overall, it was ok. I would suggest for the views and food, it’s worth a visit, however I think it’s a ‘visit once’ kinda place .
    Orelle BirminghamResponded on 4 February 2025
    Dear Nick, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, especially the fillet steak, and that you found the views worth experiencing.
