I absolutely love this place!
5th time now, and if you're getting bored of me saying how good it is, that's because you've never been. Unbelievable food from a fabulous restaurant that knows exactly what I want. Brilliant. Again.
The Vendor name that will show on your credit card statement after visiting The Wilderness is ANOTHER BAD IDEA. Whilst you might think that when you get your next statement and have to pay for it, hopefully the memory of the food and the experience overrides that. Down an alleyway in the JQ, The Wilderness wants to be different to the other Michelin/tasting menu gaffs in Birmingham. And I think they get it spot on. The pop up that they had years ago near New Street was, from memory, a bit more ingredients focused (there was a pudding with ants on it) and had a tree in it. This place is dark walls, dark furniture, guitar music, but I think the food is even better. Every dish on Tasting Menu 2 (there are three in total) was incredible including beetroot ice cream, pig cheeks, mackerel, pigeon. Service was great, wine was a mix of stuff from £40 to a thousand (luckily I didn't succumb to that bad idea), and the whole night was fabulous for our 10th wedding anniversary. Loved it.
Well wasn't that just a supreme meal. Fantastic delivery of some epically delightful food. Don't get me wrong its expensive but it's just a fantastic experience and worth the money.
