We visited for an early dinner on Sat evening thank to a Groupon offer. Three courses and a bottle of wine for two people £50. Food was out of this world. Wine was a rather light red, but enjoyable. Views across the city were breath taking. The staff were friendly but a little over attentive. The sticky toffee pudding and Ice cream to die for

Visited for a birthday lunch for my #sexxiewench, and the experience was well above expectations. We were attended to by Lucky who was very attentive and professional to say the least. The ambience, view, staff and food was excellent. Will be coming back for sure.. Billionaires shortbread dessert was to die for... Well done MPW Steakhouse and Grill ��������

Although you couldn't find our booking, once seated we had a great time. A really lovely setting for afternoon tea with fantastic views. The service was great, really lovely and helpful staff, all our little foibles accommodated easily and the afternoon tea was delicious. A really relaxed civilised environment. We will definitely be back later this year for another birthday treat.

Four of us dined here yesterday on a Groupon voucher before going to a concert at Symphony Hall. For £50 for 2 people for 3 courses and a bottle of wine, we all thought it was excellent value (not sure I'd want to pay full price though!) We were seated at a window table (without paying the extra £5pp), staff were very attentive and friendly, and the food was very good, we all enjoyed it very much and cannot fault the service or the food.

Tonight my Wife and I had a fantastic meal and a great night out here. It was our first night out as a married couple so it was very important to us. Special thanks to Jolanta Zatlere Restaurant Manager as she went to the extra mile to make our time comfortable and also Mia who gave us excellent and friendly waitress service. Will book again soon Thank you Matt and Rosie

Great ambience, halal food options available. Views from the rooftop are amazing. However drinks are overpriced. Would recommend a visit if you're around Birmingham

I only visited the bar whilst on a night out with friends. It has a fantastic lively atmosphere and is a great place to sit outside on a summers evening, with views across the city. Cocktails are priced a bit steep, but then I suppose it’s because of the location. I hope to return and try the food one day when I’m feeling flush!

This is like the go to restaurant when the pocket is a bit tight :)

They have changed their menu recently and have more vegetarian options now. One should definitely try the mushroom mac n cheese - really nice!!

Just make sure to register your car at the reception else you might get a parking ticket like I did :(

Marco pierre white rooftop bar is perched on top of The City cente Square. The bar itself elegant, like a modern hotel bar. At the rooftop bar, a sunset with the views of the London skyline is absolutely fantastic. The drinks are tailored for tourists and this shows on the quite high price tag.there is 3 other branches around london i tried only this now and it was simply amazing. There was even violinist and she was superbe....

This is a stake house being franchised under the brand of a celebrity chef. The restaurant is located on the top floor of the cube in central Birmingham and the great views being its main USP. Coming to the food well it is O.K for what they charge for it. Nothing special in terms of great food in my opinion. To enjoy this joint I would recomened drinks and tappas rather than a meal. Have fun !!

What: Steakhouse

Where: Mailbox - Birmingham Central

Value: £40pp - pricey
Food Review: The restaurant is owned my renowned Marco Pierre White, so you expect the food to be of high standard. This halal establishment did not disappoint. To get to the restaurant, you first had to take the lift through the hotel to reach the establishment which showcased a rooftop view complete with bar area.
A good range of cocktails were available but i stuck to the original pina coloda - didn't stand out, but was not complaining. The food tasted of high quality and produced a well seasoned and made steak, alongside country pub style chips and creamy spinach.
As it was a my birthday, a creme brulee with happy birthday was written upon it. Not only was it all for me but it was a delicious, creamy creme brulee. Alll in all, not a disappointment, until the bill.
Settings Review: Set in the heart of Birmingham, high in the sky of one of Birmingham's Modern iconic building, boasting stunning views and the one of the best places to see the surrounding area. The decor is also modern and clean cut to represent the feel of the restaurant. 

Positives: high quality food, good steak

Negatives: expensive.

Located on the 25th floor of new landmark The Cube, the Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill is the first restaurant in Birmingham to offer 360 degree views of the city. Dine Birmingham invited famous local lady Alison Hammond along to sample fine dining served in an Empire State Of Mind.

As I waited at the bar for my lunch date, ITV1’s This Morning reporter and local doyenne Alison Hammond, I regretted not making it an evening booking. Admiring a twinkling city below which could be anywhere in the world, would send the glamour quota of this already glitzy venue through the roof.

When Alison arrived we were shown to our table in the chic and spacious restaurant area. The hearty all-day menu includes a pleasing number of other dishes as well as steak. For starters, I opted for the six-month cured coppa ham moscardo di cremona, a colourful dish so beautifully presented that I spent a few moments gazing at it! Mostardo Di Cremona is an Italian preserve of candied fruit and a mustard flavoured syrup. The sweet/spicy tang perfectly complemented the ham and the portion was so generous I had no desire to touch the bread basket.

Alison ordered the calamari, which were very flavoursome. Starters aside, Marco Pierre White seriously caters for the comfort eater. I could have kissed the waiter for recommending the roast rump of lamb a la dijonnaise with pommes dauphinois. The meat was succulent, juicy and very pink, and the potatoes were crispy on top and super-creamy inside. Alison opted for the pork belly marco polo and butter beans but because of the “mmm” noises I was making, couldn’t hide her food envy!

My starter and mains were nicely matched with merlot cabernet sauvignon. Teetotal Alison kept refreshed with coke. Both of us were mindful of being in detox January, so it was disappointing to discover that the kitchen had run out of spinach. We were somewhat appeased, however, with very tasty roasted vegetables as a side dish.

Marco Pierre White is known for classic, rich English puddings. Egging each other on, we decided to order three to share! Crème brulee, bread and butter pudding and sticky toffee pudding helped us to end our indulgent lunch magnificently! Afterwards we were given a tour of the suitably A-list style Laurent Perrier Champagne Lounge, also on the 25th floor of The Cube.

Alison’s verdict

“It’s a fabulous location with great views and food. The company wasn’t too shabby either! I love really sweet puddings so the bread and butter pudding, sticky toffee pudding and the accompanying sauces went down a treat. The crème brulee was sadly one pudding too many – even for both of us!”

We visited as we had received a virgin experience gift for the restaurant. The voucher menu was a reduced menu with 3 options for starter, mains and desserts. The starter was tomato and basil soup which was really nice and mains were vegan Pomodoro linguine which was lacking flavour and the butchers steak with chips which was quite small but ok. Drinks were also nice. Staff were very friendly but don’t think I’d go back again even with the full menu as choices are still quite limited. It’s a nice atmosphere if you just want to grab cocktails.

Great food and excellent service. It loses points because I was charged for a window seat, but did not know there would be a charge (I would have paid anyway, so not a huge deal). However, I was disappointed that they were out of roast lamb and had no draft beers. Despite these issues I would still recommend. I had calamari for starters and tempura prawns for mains with onion rings and both were excellent, as was the service

Super location, fantastic views, great, unobtrusive service and fantastic food - my steak was amazing, my wife's main super too. Not cheap (my steak £38) but not London style extortionate, either.

Great location, as you can see all around Birmingham. Tasty food, but was expecting a bit better, but it is fine. BAR definitely needs improvement. First, they need to fix wobly tables as well they sticky, and after putting the glass, you need to be careful when lift the glass as the glass attached to the table. Cocktail needs improvement, nothing special.

There's no doubting that the views are amazing! Afternoon tea was nice. Small selection of sandwiches and some nice cakes. We also opted for a glass if prosecco. Furniture is rather worn. Could do with some TLC. I'd have expected a bit better standard to be honest. Reasonably young black girl who served us was absolutely lovely and offered great customer service. Older Asian man who brought out the food was a different kettle of fish. He was possibly mute and had certainly left his personality at home.....or on holiday somewhere far away in 1981.

We enjoyed an excellent meal, purchased for me as a 50th birthday present and using a Buy a Gift voucher. We paid a little extra to sit next to the window and there were great choices on the menu. All the food was tasty and well presented and service was excellent throughout.

Lovely first visit, food was great, the location great and we had a lovely meal with a view. We were sat under the air conditioner, which was quite cold , but other than that it was great. Would recommend for a special occasion.
