The Restaurant offers a pleasant ambiance, providing a nice atmosphere for diners. However, the lack of parking on-site is a drawback, as customers are forced to navigate through a battered car park full of potholes, requiring a 5 to 6-minute walk to reach the restaurant. The food at Ego Restaurant is average, with the pizza being a notable example. While it's decent, it falls short of the authentic flavors found in other pizza establishments. Despite this, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, thanks to the inviting atmosphere and attentive service. Overall, Ego earns a rating of 3 stars. While it has its charms, including a pleasant ambiance and satisfactory service, improvements in parking convenience and culinary authenticity could enhance the overall dining experience. UPDATED: 31/08/2024 Visited again on 31st August 2024, with a group of around 30 people. This time, the food was significantly improved, and the service from the staff was noticeably better. Based on this experience, I'm happy to revise my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

Thanks to the closed car park we had to find alternative parking. Not egos fault, but if it's ongoing, maybe a note to inform customers on their website would be useful, to them, as well as customers. Anyway, we had a table of 7, a few arrived late, 1 early, but ultimately it took half hour after ordering drinks before we even had one in our hands. Not a great start. The server dropped her smile for the rest of our visit when I enquired where our drinks were, and carried an attitude. Starters were ok. Literally nothing to write home about, expect pricey, unimaginative. Mains. 3 ordered steaks. Tbf, they looked very nice. 1 was done correctly, 1 was undercooked and sent back. 1 was overcooked, but chose to eat it anyway. I ordered sweetcorn and courgette fritters. These were bordering on soggy, and tasteless. Fries were over salted. My partner's halloumi fries were limp and uninspiring, although the dip was nice. she enjoyed the main, (pork loin). Vegan pizza. Omg looked vile, and must've been, because it was only half eaten. Again, drinks ordered were slow. 2 people ordered puddings, and I got the bill at the same time. Ultimately 2.5hrs is to long and majority of us were not happy. Would I eat there again..no

Every year we come to Ego to celebrate our birthdays, which are 4 days apart and we’re never disappointed. Food was excellent as ever, pate, goats cheese, pork, ribeye steak and Eton mess, perfect. The only issue I have is we were booked for 2pm and I wanted to change the booking for 2:30pm, however, I phoned 6 times and got the answer machine saying that I called at a busy time and it’s best to call between 9am and 11am, that didn’t help as it was 1pm. So I had to cancel the reservation and then re-book for 2:30pm so we could be accommodated at that time. When we got to the restaurant the place was pretty much a quarter full, all at the far end of the restaurant so calls could not be heard at the front desk as you walk in. This did not effect the visit, very happy with the food.

Well we arrived and their was dead insects all over the front window menu not a good start A few customers came out and had said the food was average and over priced So not the best start We was seated on a very very small table asked to move. Came to ordering and their was a comment due to the amount of food we ordered from the waitress which wasn't ideal really. Ordered steak medium well, came well done which is fine but it had zero taste what's soever the onion rings was the only nice thing Peri peri hanging chicken just tasted of sweet peppers. Cod looked good but tasted bland So overall a very poor/ average experience i would recommend going to a local pub for better quality service and food.

OMG!! what a lovely place. I have been for 2 fridays in a row, 3rd Dec and 10th Dec for christmas party's, the food was just as amazing on both occasions, service was so perfectly delivered, the staff are out of this world, genuinely have a passion for what they do and you can see the drive and passion they have while they work. The Guy called Tom who was working both friday is a Legend. He has such respect for every single person who walks through the door. And he doesn't just serve you he takes the time to make your experience just the best, and this he did. I have raved so much about this place to all my friends and family. I can't wait for my next Meal at Ego.

We had just visited a escape room in Lichfield and headed to town after the restaurant Ego was recommended and I must admit we were under dressed as everyone showing up had booked for a event happening so 🤷 however we really enjoyed everything about this place atmosphere, super friendly service, and the food was perfectly cooked great portions and very much worth the money very tasty food. 10/10 We paid 92£ but 100£ after tip , We ended up with 2 drinks , hummas and pitta, garlic bread & 3 mains ( my partners a foodie and can eat alot. ) seabass then he had spaghetti carbonara and hanging meat. We worth would definitely recommend.
