We went to Liaison last night, a restaurant on the busy A34 in Hall Green. From the outside it looks more like a solicitors' office than anything, but inside is a sea of (almost) minimalist calm, decent service and outstanding French-inspired food. The seafood sausage was fabulous, but was eclipsed by the trio of game (a 'special' not on the menu).

Not the cheapest food around, but certainly some of the best; the food was (almost) of the same quality as Turners in Harborne, but the wine list was much more to my taste (good wines by the glass and some nice ½-bottles too) plus there was real espresso!
