  • 5/5 charlie D. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice place to eat and have a few drinks. I've had the vegetable lasagne with chips which comes out as a large portion size. My friends have had fish and chips which again is very tasty. This place is often busy during lunch and after work around 5 - 7. However the atmosphere and staff are very friendly. You can open up a bar tab if required. It is spacious inside and they can open up the new 'Barwick Room' if required. It can also be booked for party and events.

    Upon first encounter with primitivo & there staff , i thought i was in for a treat with the minimilistic look. Got the the food and dining and the primitivo ‘hype’ i was COMPLETELY LET DOWN. The caesar salad start and lamb kofta main both tasted like they had been bought from tesco. NOT EVEN TESCO STANDARD. I 100% do not recommend listening to the hype i wouldnt be surprised if the rest of these reviews are fake accounts made by primitivo.

    Nice restaurant but not somewhere to take people with any sort of dietary requirements. No vegan options AT ALL on the menu so I literally didn’t eat a bite whilst the rest of our table had dinner. Also a very limited alcohol free offering. Pretty poor for those who are pregnant, driving or just trying to moderate but still want the experience. In this day and age I’d have thought vegan food and non alcoholic drinks would be available everywhere, so such a shame Primitivo doesn’t do their bit.

    The next day, same thing, BUT it LOIKED as if it was NIGHTIME, AFTER WORK-time, as you can see, and I spent two hours doing what I consider an excellent use of time at night:watching people enjoying themselves. What are they talking about, I wonder? -

    Went here on a works social, food we had was lovely and the drinks were flowing

  • 5/5 Jordan Powell D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere with a very classy sleek aesthetic and wonderful service. I must especially mention two servers with impeccable quality, both in the way they present/serve the drinks but also the manner of conversation and attention to each customer. Georgia and Charley are excellent in poise yet craftsmanship with cocktails. The service they provide is yet quick and memorable. I would definitely recommend this establishment and the these service members.

    Food was good quality pub grub. Dont expect fine dining. Waitress was a bit pushy but pleasant enough. Ambience could be better, quite bright lighting.

  • 4/5 JP B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice restaurant on a quite street in the centre of Birmingham. Good food. Clinical decor. Good service.

  • 4/5 Sara R. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here for a Christmas do. Food portion sizes were good, had smoked salmon starter, beef bourginone and cheesecake. They take cash but had no change which was strange.

  • 4/5 Hussen F. 2 years ago on Google
    Work dinner. Staff were very helpful especially when planning the evening. Meal was very good although stuffing balls turned out a bit hard. Fun atmosphere, a good night.

  • 5/5 Ronson F. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice wine selection, I try Primitivo Italian red wine which is fruity and dry with full bodied, nice berry nose.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 8 months ago on Google
    Hired out for a private party and the service was amazing. Over a 100 people, no one ever waiting long at the bar, great music system, amazing layout, great drinks and lovely host.

  • 5/5 Grahame W. 9 months ago on Google
    I'm a regular visitor to Prims. The front of house team, in particular Victoria, Georgie and Charlie, are exceptional. They look always make us feel welcome. The best I can say is that, despite no longer working in Birmingham, I try to get into town & Prims, regularly and consider this to be my local!

  • 5/5 John N. 10 months ago on Google
    The service here is top notch with everybody being very attentive. I have eaten here often and the food is also very good. Probably the go to restaurant in the Birmingham business quarter.

  • 5/5 Jamie J. 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent servers, friendly and always up for a chat with locals. Bring round really good snacks whilst you drink and good drink choices.

  • 4/5 Graham A. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice lunch venue, good food, with a varied menu, pleasant front of house to ensure your dining experience was good, lovely wines etc to chose from. And the chef took time to ensure everything was right once wed finished and keen for direct feed back. Over all a well priced and very reasonable venue, definitely be back there as the occasion arrises.
