Quinto Lounge — Restaurant in Birmingham

I've been here quite a lot especially over the past couple years, before I even went vegan -- I'm surprised I haven't left a review left, regardless, the staff are all super friendly and the atmosphere is lovely, especially on the occasional candlelit evening they have. I come here if I want to go a place I know is consistently tasty with a long list of vegan options and fast, efficient but kind service. The main thing that draws my partner and I in aside are the fact they are pet friendly (we bring our cats here) and the evening open mics every other Tuesday as these are both things that make us want to keep on returning. I have also been here with a friend who has several allergens (to name the ones I know off my head shellfish, soya, crustaceans, peanuts and mango) and he has had a positive experience with the team when ordering as they were able to work with his allergens and ensure that everything was safe for him to eat -- not only did they do this through verbal confirmation at the bar but they also have an online allergen matrix which is regularly updated with the allergens of every item on the menu which is super helpful for people with allergens in their party to be able to check what they can eat prior to visiting.

To be constructive i will start with the positives of the curio lounge: food to table is quick, the interior is immaculate my best description would be nostalgic modern style. Furthermore the layout upstairs is suitable for a few large parties of people to have meals together. Of course i cannot complain about the quality of food for the price my aquaintance particularly enjoyed the tapas she ordered.

On the contrary however ordering at the bar is an inconvenience since we had to aquire a table number before we ordered, therefore we had to trek up and down the stairs. Also the atmosphere was almost toxic, as the large parties were yelling and obscuring the modest conversation i attempted to engage in. This may not apply depending on which day or time you visit the lounge for all i know it is completely deserted on tuesday nights. Finally a petty complaint is that the seat i first plonked my seasoned bottom onto genuinley felt like sitting on a rhinos horn while holding another rhino in your hands. Overall its a good place keep in mind my comments are valid but petty at the same time. I reccomend getting a tapas or even a...

Lovely place to have a relaxing brunch. Warmly greeted at the door and given the necessary instructions of where to sit and asked about allergies and dietary requirements which was really nice. Easily found a table, lovely decor, space and very clean. Ordering the food and drinks was really easy via the app we downloaded and was served to our table really quickly. The food was excellent, absolutely delicious. The flavours and presentation were spot on and everything was really well cooked. The menu has a really good vegan and vegetarian range which as I am vegetarian was brilliant to see. The coffee I had was also of a very nice standard. The toilets were up some stairs which I struggled with but I got there, and they were really clean, well decorated with all the expected facilities. All the staff we spoke to were really happy and smiling which made our visit really nice. Would highly recommend this place and we will definitely...
