Frommer's Review

You are likely to enjoy your finest meal at this relatively new restaurant, which is winning friends among the more discriminating palates of Birmingham. Affiliated with its even more famous sibling in London, chefs work feverishly in the open-plan kitchen. Start perhaps with seared scallops with asparagus or a confit of duck leg with a sesame-and-honey dressing. For a main dish, you can sample such superb choices as ricotta gnocchi with roasted eggplant, zucchini, and Parma ham, or the roast marinated duck breast with potato Rösti and blueberry jus. Desserts include a classic English bread-and-butter pudding or a passion-fruit mousse. Bank features the best children's menu in town.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
