Loves Restaurant

Relatively new in Birmingham and just a little isolated from Brindley place.

Very good food and service in pleasant surroundings (to be hypercritical: the tables are too small for the cutlery and plates, and there's not a lot of space between them).

Highlight: The coddled egg starter (with braised lamb shoulder, butternut squash and wild mushrooms).

Lowlight: I wasn't that happy with the glass of Tour de Biot 2004 I had (a wine that usually gets good reviews but, after all is only Bordeaux AOC): strident and unripe, I thought. My next choice (a Fitou) was not available.

Better than the current incarnation of Edmund's, though: we'll be going again.
