Amantia

We went to Amantia for a mother's day treat and really enjoyed the lovely food and friendly helpful waiters. Would definitely return some day, hopefully soon.

Excellent food, friendly staff, lovely decor. Desserts were particularly good! A very enjoyable dining experience and not rushed in any way, would certainly recommend a visit.

A very nice place in the middle of Birmingham serving great Spanish food. We shared a number of delicious tapas. A real gem well worth a visit.

First class food and service, a real taste of Spain. The range of Tapas was excellent and the main courses were just the right size.

Loved it here- great food, good wine and cocktails, friendly staff and great atmosphere. It was nice to visit somewhere authentic rather than the usual chain restaurants. We will definitely be visiting again soon!

Excellent food, nice surroundings and great service. Friendly and professional service with delicious food. Food recommendations were appreciated. Booking was easy and efficient through quandoo.

Food is pretty abismal and very expensive for what you get. I ordered octopus in a paprika on a bed of potatoes- it wasn't paprika, more like hot so pretty tasteless and the potatoes were drenched in olive oil making them soggy. Atmosphere is nice though.

Delicious tapas, super paella, nicely presented desserts, good atmosphere, friendly staff, good service and overall a very enjoyable evening in pleasant surroundings. We live too far away to come again

Great food and drink! We really enjoyed the atmosphere. service was good and reasonably priced. Would very much recommned and will be going back soon!

Lovely food, nice atmosphere and surroundings. Service was good the only thing I didn't like was the feeling of almost being rushed out of the restaurant at 30 minutes into my booking when the waitress pointed out we only had a 2 hour booking.

Ate here for valentines day and was told only on arrival that they were not doing rice dishes. Only tapas then. Chose 6 tapas tat came out as starters and mains for some reason complete with different cutlery. Squid, not cooked properly and the accompanying aioli had no garlic. Prawns were in a sauce and not sauteed as per the menu and again, lacked flavour considering it was meant to be chili, garlic, olive oil and white wine. Was more of a white sauce than any other flavours. Patatas Bravas were ok but some of the potatoes were burnt. Our "mains" then arrived. Bean stew with chorizo, bacon and black pudding. THe website has a picture of this and it was nothing like what we were served. Had to send them back as it was watery, no meat in it (Waitress tried to explain that its a slow cook so they had dissolved away - honestly?). Spinach and "Blue Cheese" croquettes - had no blue cheese unless it was as bland as mozzerella. Black pudding parcels - undercooked, shame really as they sounded nice. Had free wine and they took 50% off the bill but still a shame as if we had known about the rice we would've gone elsewhere. I've been to Spain many times and not just to the costas. Perhaps a revision of what Spanish food is these days and how its evolved from the typical squid rings etc would be a good idea. WOuldnt call Amantia authentic to say the least, the decor is too modern. I've been a chef for over 16 years and i can only assume there was a shortage on the garlic. A real shame as we were looking forward to this.

Excellent food and excellent service. Went on Valentin day and went for the set menu. Food arrived promptly and was presented in a great manner.

Staff were very friendly and gave the impression they were happy to see you. Menu choices of food and wine were good and very reasonably priced. The quality of food was excellent and the total bill was a pleasant surprise! This was our first visit but I think we will be back soon!

Really great food, can't fault the mains or the tapas. Service was quick and attentive, dispute it being a busy night. price was accurate for what you have and cocktails are delicious - will be going back again!

good food and good service. the staff were all very friendly and polite. the restaurant is beautifully laid out. i would definitely visit again. thanks

Great food, service could have been faster, but i realise it was a busy night. The waiters are really nice though. I definitely recommend it.

Fresh imaginative tapa's , served at a good pace over a relaxed lunch. Good ambience, considering it was quiet my friends and I will return.

Our first visit and what can I say. Beautiful starter, Paellla and tiramisu. Great service and lovely ambiance. Looking forward to our next visit, highly recommended!

We visited on a Friday evening, the decor was cool and sophisticated,staff were warm ,welcoming and professional.food was WOW tapas at another level!!We all agreed to book again soon.

Staff and food were excellent, it was a good atmosphere and the garlic mushrooms were the best I have tasted and we were even offered a doozy bag for paella that was not eaten

Food was fantastic and the staff friendly and helpful. Decor is a little clinical and bright but other than that, a great evening was had by all.

Fantastic food, great white Rioja and manzanilla, and lively friendly service. The Boquerones, garlic prawns and chorizo stew were all fabulous. Also loved seared tuna and seafood soup. Fantastic food quality and lovely ambience.

Superb food, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Recommend to all. Can't wait to visit again when my daughter visits Birmingham in the coming months ahead.

Great food and service, whether having tapas or from the main menu. The staff are attentive and there is a lovely atmosphere. I recommend highly.

Food and waitress service was excellent. Only let down, the first three things I asked for they hadn't got. Spanish restaurant with no San Miguel, no paella, and no mussels. Apart from this the steak and pork was beautiful.

Great authentic tapas at a reasonable price. Good speedy service. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. We will certainly be back again soon!

The food was excellent. We had tapas followed by lovely desserts. The staff were attentive but not overly so. It was a lovely restaurant all round

Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. Food was really nice and the drinks are very well priced for a restaurant. It was busy and seems a popular place to eat. I would recommend Amantia and I will be going again.

Very very good and authentic food. What is good about tapas is you can have as little or as much as you want, from just a snack to a table filled extravaganza,which is what we did.. it was our wedding anniversary.. The service was just as you want, appearing as needed without having to spend ages trying to catch someones eye. We went mad with the menu and the bill was £85, but could be as little as £30 for two, great value and we will go again

Lovely tapas and very good value for money on lunch deal. Two tapas , drink plus bread only £9.95. Quick service. Will definitely be back!

Excellent food, professional and friendly service and pleasant surroundings. Would reccomend for family, friends or business lunch gathering. Short distance from busy New Street and rail station.

Had the tapas - excellent food and good service. Food was brought out promptly, was very good quality and very tasty. Would highly recommend a visit.

Pleasant restaurant though a little loud. Food was very good and not too expensive for a town restaurant. The staff very helpful efficient and friendly.

Amazing cocktails (£8)! 2 Tapas (£5-8 each) and a paella (£14pp) between two of us left us completely stuffed. A little pricier than some chain restaurants but for an independent place with lovely atmosphere and great food, would definitely recommend. They do living social vouchers and a good lunch deal as well if cost is a consideration.

Love this restaurant, just a little disappointed/confused that the Christmas menu was not available on the day, when we thought that was what we had booked in advance for .

Great place, lovely food and good service. Lovely mid week lunch with our friends and the tasty food was the icing on the cake. Easy journey in on the train and Amantia is just a couple of minutes walk from the station. Perfect

The restaurant was fairly busy and there were only 2 front of house staff, but they were lovely and the food was delicious. I was a little concerned that we would be waiting for a long time as I noticed there were only two members of staff, but we were served quickly. I am gluten intolerant and when I made the booking online I left a note to tell them this, someone rang me and told me that they have a gluten free menu which was great. Lovely meal and lovely hard working staff.

This was my first visit and it definitely won't be my last. The staff were very friendly and informative about the menu, the food was delicious and there was a lovely atmosphere.

very good lunch deal and service. we would go again. quiet at lunct time but good ambience. well located and easy to find. a good find

The food was wonderful, fresh tasty and served quickly (the paella takes 25 minutes but it clearly states this on the menu) The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Will definitely be going again

Excellent food, great atmosphere and fantastic service. I highly recommend the Tapas and the excellent Paellas. After 7pm there is penalty free parking on the road, and it is a walking distance from New Street or Snow Hill station

Food was exceptional but the service not so good! One of the meals turned up much later than the others, a drink was forgotten! When we arrived a table was pointed at with the words 'you're over there', coats not taken, no goodbye as we left at the end! Little things that could have made us feel a bit more special!

Really good food and knowledgeable staff. Was very busy when we went with many big tables but the tapas was very good and we thoroughly enjoyed our mains too.

Fabulous meal with the family on Boxing Day. Great food, great service! We had been before but we were happy we made the decision to go today.

Very helpful and friendly waiters, relaxed atmosphere, great food, both decently portioned and priced. Authentic Spanish tapas, with varied wine and drinks menu to compliment. Would come again.

Fantastic restaurant with really lovely attentive staff, who knew about the menu and wines and left us to enjoy a fun afternoon. The restaurant was quiet due to the mid afternoon booking, but it still felt vibrant as everyone dining sat in the front area. Food was beautiful, and plenty of it, having a mixture of mains and tapas. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely restaurant. They were really helpful when a delayed train made us late for our booking, and accepted our voucher even though we were not eating at the time covered by it. The food was great and service too - attentive, but not obtrusive. Great addition to Birmingham's restaurants.

From the greeting to the goodbye this is a really lovely restaurant. The food is always top notch, with a great choice of tapas, mains and choice of drinks. The service is attentive and flexible without being over the top. Really highly recommended. We will return again.

Excellent service, delicious food. Nice atmosphere. The cocktails and nibbles were tasty and the wine was excellent. Highly recommended for a slightly different night out in the city centre

Lovely food. Tapas was great and Seafood paella was wonderful.The staff were very friendly and attentive. Fab gin cocktail as well. Will be visiting again soon
