Miller & Carter - Birmingham Hagley Road

What a fantastic night! We made a reservation to celebrate a special occasion which was made extra special by the manager Abigail who decorated our table which was a lovely surprise for my partner. The service was spot on as always (Thanks Donna R). Service with a smile, and made an effort to interact with us throughout the night! We have been to several Miller & Carter restaurants, but Hagley Road is our favourite and the food was perfect, my partner and I couldn't have enjoyed it more if we tried. A true chef, thanks Lee! I cannot thank you all enough.

A Culinary Triumph Dining at Millers was an experience worth savouring, particularly with their exquisite fillet steak cooked medium, which stood as the star of the meal. From the moment it arrived at the table, I was captivated by its perfectly seared exterior, promising a juicy and tender interior. Each bite confirmed my expectations — the steak was perfectly cooked, maintaining a rich flavour and a delightful melt-in-your-mouth texture. It was paired elegantly with a rich beef dripping sauce that elevated the entire experience, adding an umami depth that complemented the meat flawlessly. The side offerings further enhanced the feast. The onion loaf was a delightful surprise, featuring layers of crispy onions enveloping a soft, flavorful core. It provided a wonderful contrast to the steak's richness, making it an excellent accompaniment. The French fries, crisp and golden, were the ideal sidekick, perfectly seasoned and immensely satisfying. Each bite was addictive, creating a delightful crunch that paired well with both the steak and the sauce. What truly made this dining experience stand out was the total package of flavours — the combination of the tender fillet, robust onion loaf, and crispy fries created a symphony of textures and tastes that left me yearning for more.

Hyped. It’s a slightly posher Harvester or Beefeater. Incredibly busy and rushed waiting staff, restaurant full when we arrived, almost empty when we left. We had the three course meal, my ribeye cooked to perfection, cauliflower wings crisp. Thanks to Lee, the named chef on our bill card. Unfortunately a couple of sirloins were gristly. They ran out of several options for all courses, due to a new menu next week, we were told. Chocolate orange bombe fell over and had about half a tsp of mousse in both that we ordered. My sticky toffee could have been from a supermarket for what it tasted. Again, felt like a chain restaurant but more expensive. Cocktails good but mocktail tasted of synthetic sugar syrup. The booths are cramped for 6 adults. After all the hype I’ve heard for years, I sadly won’t return. The restaurant was spotless and a large free car park.
