I was in Birmingham for a conference and I was staying at the Novotel, a hotel I have stayed at before. They have a restaurant and there is menu, of what most people would call typical hotel food.
I went with the ribeye steak, which came with fries, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and a peppercorn sauce.
It was well presented, though I think I needed something green on the plate, watercress perhaps. The accompaniments were nice, I liked the sauce. The steak was cooked to my liking, but I was hoping for more flavour, it certainly needed more seasoning. I guess I was expecting more of a chargrill flavour to the steak. Overall I guess I was a little disappointed with the plate.
Service was excellent though, friendly and efficient.
