We'd booked to go to The Wilderness a while ago but unfortunately COVID came along and ruined our original plans. We finally visited for lunch on Saturday and it's fair to say it was worth the wait.
We decided to go for the ten course tasting with a couple of glasses each of the 'hacked' wines. Upon taking our seats we were each given a complimentary glass of Prosecco and water and our meal began.
The mix of courses were fantastic; starting with crispy pig cheek with an apricot gel and taking in steak tartare, turbot and mackerel along the way. Highlights were a fantastic beetroot ice-cream served with a rich ajoblanco and a tremendous mushroom and 'bread pudding' dish which was like the best version of mushrooms on toast you could possibly imagine.
Service was slick throughout, each course was delicious and the wines were great, particularly the Chardonnay 2.0 and the Vermouth. The meal wasn't the cheapest but the food, service, ambience and music made it all well worthwhile.
Wow!! Outstanding food, superb attentive service, and an awesome atmosphere (with quality rock music playlist that you can find on spotify). With the news this week that carters will be leaving Birmingham, we are delighted to finally get to try this place, that is the heir apparant to it. Already booking our next visit. Expensive, but totally worth it.
This small restaurant in Birmingham is spectacular. The tasting menu was outstanding with no uninspired dishes. Delightfully prepared and elegantly served with a smile. The background music was not obtrusive, though personally I would have been happy either way, as it was exactly what I liked. Wholly 100% recommend...
Amazing tasting menu and paired drinks... really enjoyed the different choices between wine and cocktails. Really great service throughout.
Went with colleagues and had the 11 course tasting menu. The food was excellent, as was the service. My glass was never empty, and I had the most delicious carrot I've ever had!
I went a few months back when they were doing a vegan menu and the food/atmosphere was amazing. The non-alcoholic drinks menu was very creative. Great experience and service.
Easily one of the best tasting menus I have ever tried. The portions, although small, unlocked flavours I didn’t know existed. Worth the slightly more expensive cost for sure. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, and the atmosphere is a real vibe. Would highly recommend, particularly for special occasions.
Stunning restaurant!
Stumbled upon this find whilst staying in Birmingham on a training course with work, i'd definately visit again just to eat here! The food was out of this world! Never tasted flavours quite like it! The quirkiness off the restaurant just added to it! The staff was very polite, and made us feel very welcome! Thank you!
Amazing food, lovely restaurant, very different to what you expect.
Food is worthy of a star, how it hasn't already got one beats me, much better than some of the those that have multiple stars!
Staff were amazing, very knowledgeable and friendly, would highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic! Have wanted to go here for last couple years and my wife brought it a birthday treat - just 10/10. Loved the atmosphere and rock music playing tunes we all know, seeing into the kitchen and the tasting menu itself was 👌👌👌
A special nod has to go the level of service which is superb, attentive and easily as good as any I have had.
Well done to the Wilderness crew, great memories and I’d strongly recommend it to others.
