Absolutely loved everything I ordered particularly the dessert which is probably in the top 3 of best desserts I've had! The lobster was well seasoned and cooked the starter was amazing too! I want to go back soon !

Had x6 cooked and x6 raw oysters for starters, hot platter for 2 with lobster for2, lemon and thyme cake for dessert. The guy that served us was good , made personal recommendations and chatted naturally. Platter was 1/2 lobster each, big prawns, langoustine , mussels, cockles, scallops and samphire - tasted great, could have been arranged on the plate better. Suggestion for improvement would be to do something about the fishy hands after eating , no extra napkins , are finger bowls out now , elbowed my way thru doors to toilet to wash them - when dessert brought no napkin replaced. The bar area is above the restaurant and there were 3 guys that liked the sound of their own voices , quite loud and swearing. The table next to us had younger people , so inappropriate. Hope you find this a rounded review, we had a good night , the food was good , couple of tweaks and a word with rumbustious customer would be perfect.

The fried oysters were delicious however I have had scollops before and paid for a selection but £13.00 per one was a bit over priced and we felt rushed to have our evening meal, it was an experience and have been to lots of exclusive restaurants and personal service was exceptional and have decided wouldn’t go again

I was asked by a waitress how I found my food. My response was simple ... Underwhelming, because I didn't want to swear. For a somewhat boujee restaurant, I expected SO much more than what was on offer. Given the hype, I expected something to write home, or at least a good Google review about. I was wrong. Even more disappointing, it was my good friends birthday and it didn't feel like a special occasion and we had to suffer the uppity service of this place to boot. Firstly, on entrance the lack of warm and welcoming greeting was shocking. The host half heartedly directed us to where the party were waiting and returned to whatever she was doing on her phone. Despite there being a cloakroom, nobody was offered for their coats to be taken. Drinks were ordered and I was quite taken back by the attitude of the waiter when asked about items on the drinks menu. I was made to feel as though questions shouldn't be asked. I ordered what I thought would be a pint of beer, given the price. Nope, £6.00 for HALF A PINT of what wasn't even craft beer. I was mortified when I had a look at the menu. It was limited and basic, at best. Again, given the hype of this place I had high expectations to discover something different on the menu.and to have a culinary experience to remember. The prices are ridiculous, given the meagre portion sizes. I've seen bigger kids meals, I kid you not. I ended up ordering beer battered fish and chips. I mean... The menu was that uninspiring, I didn't want anything else and I felt that may be the biggest thing on the menu. Again, judging by what others in the party ordered, I wasn't wrong. A colleague ordered the cod loin - at £30, the portion size is an absolute crime against humanity. The circular piece of cod looked even smaller on the large plate it was served on. To add insult to injury, you have to order additional sides to accompany it. Ludicrous! The fish was, by far, the blandest beer battered fish I have ever had the displeasure of eating. It was evidently seasoned with hopes and dreams... Almost thought I had COVID for a moment because not one of my taste buds were activated. To make it worse... SEVEN chips accompanied the fish. I wanted to flip a table by this point to be honest. The food service was atrocious. How is it possible to bring out mains, but not the sides at the same time? Reckless business practice IMO. If more passion was placed into creating taste sensations and a memorable dining experience... paying £100 for two meals, with no starter and 2 HALF pints of beer wouldn't have been so painful. I've not been this disappointed in a restaurant for a long time. The restaurant being pretty empty on Saturday evening screamed volumes. This isn't an experience , it's extortion. I do not recommend.

Cooked oysters to die for, ditto the bread, the cod and the fish pie were wonderful... lovely attentive staff, too... but then... the fish pie had left my companion so full that dessert had to be declined, just a cup of tea, please. "Do you have anything small and sweet that I could have with the tea?". Nope. I'd have paid a disproportionate amount for a tiny square of chocolate or similar confection to accompany the tea having had my dessert intention thwarted, but the meal ended with ordinary tea served all on its own. . So nearly excellent, but just not quite.

I was visiting my son who is studying in Birmingham. The last day of my visit was on Easter itself. I wanted to have lunch together at a special restaurant and decided on The Oyster Club. Already at the entrance to the restaurant, we were warmly received. We had a nice table where we could see the kitchen. The food is delicious. The flavors are combined. Everything was perfect from starters, main course and dessert. We enjoyed the flavors. We were well served. My desire is all over again when I come next time.

Bila sam u posjeti sinu koji studira u Birminghamu. Zadnji dan mog posjeta bio je na sam Uskrs. Željela sam da zajedno ručamo u nekom posebnom restoranu i odluka je pala na The Oyster Club. Već na samom ulazu u restoran lijepo smo primljeni. Imali smo lijep stol gdje smo mogli vidjeti kuhinju. Hrana je ukusna. Okusi su sljubljeni. Sve je bilo savršeno od predjela, glavnog jela i deserta. Uživali smo u okusima. Bili smo lijepo uslužni. Želja mi je sve ponovit kad dođem slijedeći put.

Food was good, but service not the best. We didn’t feel that they were happy to see us, they didn’t smile at us, and the waiter’s face was sad. Also waiter didn’t know the difference between three types of caviar, which is very strange. It was my birthday and I left note during booking so I was expecting to see «happy birthday inscription on the plate», but nothing happened. Would I recommend this place to anyone? I am not sure.

Food excellent, resturant nice, given a different wine without asking if it was ok first, drinks order wrong, being told we would be having sharer platters when individual platters were ordered which we refused just to get odd looks from the kitchen staff in return. Waiting staff pretty miserable and had to get our own coats. Real shame, just a little more attention and this would have been a 5 star as food was excellent. If there's a discretionary service charge fine but don't expect to get it unless service at at a satisfactory level. Level of service so much different to that experienced at Adams.

My partner and I along with a group of friends chose to dine here for my partner’s Birthday celebrations. None of us had dined here before but expected high standards from how the restaurant is sold / advertised. Once we were shown to our table, drink orders were taken and provided. I asked for ice for my drink which I never got. We ordered our food and The Cod Loin which two of our friends ordered arrived and for £28.00 a dish they should have been provided with a magnifying glass to see it as it was no bigger in diameter than a £5 coin. They also had to wait until all other dishes were served before they received their vegetables which resulted in lukewarm cod. Not great. A few of us ordered the battered haddock & chips and not two dishes looked the same as the fish were all different sizes. I was however pleased to have 9 chips on my plate but others only had 5. I noted that a female member of staff walked around with her hands in her pockets. How professional is that??? Customer service is paramount and if you are looking for repeat business or customer referrals you have to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately this restaurant falls well short of this. Sorry but MacDonalds here we come, value for money.

Bit of a disappointing experience given how the restaurant is marketed. Food was very pricey - wouldn't be so much of an issue if it was really appetising and/or a great experience overall, but the serving sizes were small and not that tasty. Despite not being that busy at 6pm on a Saturday, service was slow and no action was taken or even recognition of our disappointment when several of our party gave negative feedback (I would have thought that this would have been jumped upon by the staff given that the venue is supposed to be top tier). I don't think I'd want to go back any time soon unfortunately.

Went to Adams a couple of years ago and really loved it, so naturally wanted to check out his Bistro when an opportunity arose. And it didn't disappoint. Oysters were really nicely dressed and presented. The sourdough bread and butter was perfect. The halibut of course stole the show, it was an exquisite plate of food, the carrots and mash were so perfectly seasoned as well. The Lower restaurant gives you the chance to peer into the kitchen and I could see lots of other plates of food that all looked equally as impressive. The service was on the whole good , perhaps needs a bit of tweaking here and there and I actually received feedback from the Restaurant Manager that they would continue to train newer members about some of the finer details but by no means did it detract from an evening and I wouldn't hesitate to return to try one of those amazing looking seafood platters in the future!

Well Well Well, how was our night at the Oyster club? My girlfriend and I had two completely different experiences. Her night was great and mine was underwhelming. She had 35 Dry Aged Steak - Ribeye (7/10) and Tempura King Prawns (10/10). The portions were great and the food was really really good - for her. She also ordered a bottle of red wine (Petite Sirah Bogle Vineyards, California USA) - it was sweetish (I am not really a wine guy) but it was sweeter than the other reds I have had so not too bad. This ends the fun night because I on the other hand, I might as well have been robbed with a gun. I had the full lobster (£80 pounds), 3 Cooked Oysters and Whipped Cod’s Roe. As you can see, I have specifically put the price of the lobster but we shall speak on that later. The 3 Cooked Oysters honestly didn’t taste like anything. They really just passed through my tongue - I guess it might be an acquired taste. For the price ? Maybe we can overlook it. The Whipped Cod’s Roe was honestly just the same as biscuits and with mayonnaise but again I am not too fussed about this one. My gripe as you already know is with the £80 pounds lobster. Firstly I made the mistake of being absolutely starving and going to a restaurant. I mean I should have eating a bit a home and then maybe the night would have been better? Guys the portion of the lobster? It was ridiculously small for £80. I have been to Burger and Lobster in London and their 2 pound whole lobster is £62 pounds and I usually can’t walk after. The lobster didn’t even come with any sides?? Hello!! Make it £85 and give me chips or something to fill my tummy please. Man I could have spent it £15 to take a coach to London and £65 pounds to have a better lobster meal than what I was served. I could have ordered 2 steak meals that my girlfriend had for £70 combined and had a better night than that £80 lobster. Hers came with chips We need to work on our portions The Oyster Club. The dessert was okay, it couldn’t rescue my night unfortunately. Chocolate Foundant I believe The waiters were lovely - shout out to Rob. Not sure about parking spaces as I don’t live in Birmingham. All in all? Yeah well you already know.

Everything is good about The Oyster Club. Walking in through the door from a very busy part of town the vibe is immediately welcoming, calm & relaxed. Shown to our table immediately the service was excellent as it was the whole way through our visit. We went for the snacks instead of a starter - had the Tempura Prawns & the Padron Peppers - both good size portions & we really enjoyed them. - they were excellent. My main was the Fish (Halibut), Chips & Peas with a side of battered onion Rings - my wife had the Pumpkin Risotto - again excellent - special recommendation for the chips (superb). Desert was the Chocolate Fondue & Paris Brest - perfect end to a fantastic meal. Good wine menu with lots of choice. A couple of 3 course meals and a bottle of wine for £135 in a restaurant of this quality represents excellent value for money. I will be returning & definitely recommend

Feedback When I booked this restaurant, my expectations were high. Credit card details were taken for the reservation. Standard procedure for high standard restaurants. My first impression, just stepping into the restaurant, was not good. The person in reception was not at the main door and the phone was ringing quite highly. She started talking to us from a distance, but we couldn’t understand anything as the phone could make its noise in parallel. At that point, we were at the same level, she showed us the way to the next person in the restaurant, the main waiter on our day. Place was pleasant and quiet. This guy offered some crayons to my little one, I appreciate that. Food. The food was not fresh, we ordered some seafood platters and my wife and me still have stomach-aches after one day. This is the only food that we shared on the day. Service was expensive, but we were happy with it. We didn’t receive any wet tissue. This is the first time in my life where I’m eating seafood and that happens. Poor impression. Summary. Low marks. We won’t book again.

We had the cold plater to share and the hot plater to share. Not cheap but special treat. The lobster was burnt. Tasted of charcoal. Told the waitress and all she said was " I'll let the kitchen know" I was fuming. But was not going to make a big thing as this was my wife birthday treat. The waiting staff did not know much about what they where serving. Best part was the wine. I expected better for £263 for two of us.

I was rather disappointed with this place. Maybe I was expecting too much but a few things just made the experience a bit ‘meh’. It didn’t help that we were sat at the bar, it was -1 outside, and the entrance had (very slow) sliding doors that meant we were cold for most of the evening. We ordered oysters and then mussels - small thing but it was disappointing that the warm mussel dish arrived before the oysters. Just a bit odd. The weirdest thing, though, was the triple cooked chips which were covered in vinegar. No mention of this on the menu, and not particularly nice. That said, the wine was fine (albeit the vintages aren’t listed on the menu), the staff were pleasant and the food (esp the pumpkin risotto and lamb) were lovely. I guess, when I sit at a bar, I want interaction, I want food in order, I want fab wine, and I want to be warm! I’m sure this was probably one of those anomaly nights. Another night, it probably would have been great.

My Husband booked the restaurant for our 1st year anniversary. The food overall was 10/10 presentation was everything the flavours were even better. Service was good. However, the reason I’ve given atmosphere 1 star is because we’re were swatting fruit flies away from our food and drinks all night. Both husband and I had our drinks replaced because flies landed in them. We then asked to move tables which we did and there were still flies in that area of the restaurant too. I can’t fault the staff for doing everything they could for us but Unfortunately there seems to be a fruit fly infestation and this did ruin the experience for us.

Having eaten at Adam’s was happy that my wife choose this for my birthday lunch. We ordered the baked scallop starter. It came on one side plate with the waiter saying you sharing today then. No, we ordered two starters but as they were one scallop each, they put it on one plate. Not value for what they charge. One very small lobster and one over done Dover Sole later we were so disappointed. £225.00 and it was not value for what we had. Shame really, when you order two starters and get it served on one side plate, the restaurant know what they are doing. Finally, why cram everyone downstairs in by the till, when they have a huge lovely looking dining area completely empty.

What a great experience! Our son knew we had enjoyed Adam’s in the past and recently sent me a gift voucher for this more casual offering as a birthday treat. We visited during happy hour mid-week and began with a glorious martini and a dozen delicious oysters - impressed with both. Next we tried four items on the snack menu with wonderfully fragrant English blanc de blanc. The baked scallop and the salt cod croquettes were particularly scrummy! We then shared a wonderful Dover sole with crispy broccoli tips accompanied by a very decent English white wine. The chocolate and walnut brownie topped with coffee ice cream was just divine. Outstanding service and a stylish interior. Spectacular! We’ll be returning with friends.

Having eaten at the main Adams restaurant we were enthusiastic to try the Oyster Club during our recent shopping day in Birmingham. We decided not to book a table as they accept walk-ins - we turned up at 1500 on a Saturday and they didn’t have any tables left but could seat us at the bar. The menu is quite varied - mainly seafood but steaks as well. After several minutes of changing our minds the 4 of us decided to go for the cold seafood platter with some sourdough to go with it. It did take a very long time for them to serve it (nothing to cook?) but the wait was worth it. Massive platter of oysters, crab, cockles, mussels and 3 different types of prawns. Everything was superb and so fresh. We had a couple of bottles of white wine which went really well with the food. At £70+ per head it is far from cheap (10% service charge added to the bill) but the food quality was very high. We left feeling full and very content!

We went there yesterday. Booked by our son for his graduation lunch. He had been there for his girlfriends 21st a year ago and was bigging it up. The service was poor for the expensive cost. Had to pour our wine and waitresses were quite elusive. We all pretty much had the monkfish tails. Which our son raves about. Mine was over cooked and hard. Wife’s halibut was colder than it should be. We paid the bill but to be fair it was way over priced for what we got in return. Saying this as they need to stay in business and won’t if they offer this kind of service. Very disappointed for my son and we tried to brush it off. But it was a topic of conversation quite a few times during the rest of the evening.

We went to The Oyster Club with a booking through First Table, which is a website that offers the first tables of the evening for 50% discount. It meant we ate early (4.45pm booking) but for the chance to eat such amazing seafood with a big discount it was worth it and I'd really recommend it because as others have said the menu is on the expensive side. We shared a chilled seafood platter which had a small surplus of £5 each when ordered with First Table discount but it was still great value. The platter was huge and looked amazing. We each had three oysters, so many prawns, King prawns, langoustines, mussels, clams and cockles. The dressed crab was lovely but there wasn't a lot of crab. We had sourdough on the side and some very refreshing mocktails. We had never had some of the things on the platter and the staff were very friendly and helpful when we asked some questions. We then shared a buttermilk Panna cotta which was delicious. My only downside was we had to wait a little while for a member of staff on occasion and we were sat at a high table which was a little squeeze and slightly uncomfortable to eat at. Overall a great opportunity to try some fresh seafood at a specialist restaurant with fantastic discount. Would really recommend both The Oyster Club and using First Table.

Loved it. Attentive and friendly staff and amazing food. Would definitely go again. Only reason for dropping a star for atmosphere was that there were few people there, other than that it would be 5 star all the way.

We visited the restaurant at 8pm as wanted to try their Surf & Turf (£140) to be told it was not available, not the greatest of starts. We went on & ordered the Turbot & Ribeye. The food was cooked perfectly but my steak was quite tough & chewy so I decided rather than complaining that I would ask if I could take it home for our dog. I had only eaten about half of it so at £35 didn't want it to go to waste. I asked the waiter who informed me that they didn't have any containers so asked if it could just be wrapped in foil. The waiter returned to inform me that he wasn't allowed to let me take the steak home - I was surprised & horrified - I understand that premium restaurants are reluctant to allow you to take fish home but have never been told I couldn't take steak. If I had paid for the meal I would have complained but this was a treat off my partner so I had to suck it in. Needless to say we will not return.

Really nice decor, we sat downstairs which was a bit quieter, in a corner which meant we could sit next to each other but look around the restaurant. The staff were great, and there was great theatrics with the bisque which was served in a jug by the waitress. I was a little disappointed with my lobster which was a bit small and not really worth the price. Otherwise my partner had a really good piece of fish and the bisque was delicious. We had 2 different cocktails which were both good. Will definitely go again if we are out in Birmingham.

I’ve just eaten the best turbot ever at The Ouster Club and believe me I’ve eaten at a lot of very good seafood restaurants. It was perfectly cooked and the hollandaise sauce with asparagus also spot on. Add perfectly cooked chips and honey roasted carrots and it’s a great main course. My oyster starter was lovely but my daughter’s cured sea bream was even better and she loved her pasta. I’d have given the meal five stars but I honestly thought it was a bit too expensive even for that quality. I’m thinking if they lowered their prices a little they’d be a lot busier. However it was a fabulous treat!

Had Oysters, Beluga caviar and a mix of small plates. Food was OK. Not worth the hype. Service was very average for the price you are paying for the food. My champagne flute was empty for about 15 mins and they kept my bottle quite far away from the table... And no one offered to top up the champagne until I asked. Not what I expected. Not somewhere I'd rush back to or recommend.

Fantastic. Had loads of different little plates which were all delightful. Excellent service, amazing seafood and a great chance to enjoy a more playful way of dining. We've already discussed going back as soon as possible! Prices are high but I truly believe you get what you pay for and we paid to be impressed which we were.

Oysters where amazing! We had 8 different starters and snacks. Not what we would normally associate with Adam’s quality. Menu has changed. Cost £224 for 2 people. Was not impressed. Definitely gone down hill from 1-2 years ago.

We went here last night and the atmosphere and food was not of a high enough standard for the price point being charged. There was food on the floor near our table, the decor was dated etc. Nothing we ate was particularly delicious or inspiring. When you pay 175 pounds for two people to have dinner you expect to have an experience you can’t stop raving about. The best item we ordered was the oysters. They were well priced, fresh and the dressing was good - particularly the rhubarb dressed oysters as this was something we had not seen or experienced before. The Fritto Misto was most disappointing (see pic) for £19 - small portion and nothing special at all. We are from Melbourne so maybe the food scene is quite different. We could pay half this amount and get a truely delicious, high end, unique food experience in Melbourne. I’m glad we went but won’t be coming back.
