I feel sorry for the staff here. There were only 2 servers on this Saturday evening and they clearly could not cope. There was no-one to greet us on arrival. Eventually we got seated, and given menus. Then there was no-one to take even a drinks order for 10 minutes. I had to get up find someone to come over. The food was great, but the experience was ruined by the dismal service. To be clear, this is no reflection on the serving staff. This is a management issue. I asked the server "are you short staffed tonight?". The reply was "we had an extra 4 tables that we weren't expecting." Honestly, how do you run a hospitality business on a shoe-string such that an extra 4 tables on a Saturday night throws the entire operation into chaos? Very, very poor. More generally, the dining room lacks ambience, as others have commented.

This was our second terrible experience at Blue Piano so will not risk going again The food had too much over - spiced chilli in it even when we had requested very clearly must be mild Even the peanut satay as over flavoured with chilli We gave up when the meal had been replaced as it was just totally tasteless No effort to reduce bill so not pleased Hardly any other diners there so atmosphere depressing

Met some colleagues/friends for a meal, which was delicious as previously. Staff were friendly and accommodating and we enjoyed the food. Then we went to watch the live band who were great, and I had originally arranged to meet a members group to watch the Beatles tribute band. Really nice atmosphere as always and a really good venue, which I only discovered about a year ago and not too far away. Will definitely be attending again. 🤩

Great restaurant in Edgbaston in one of the large converted houses. Wonderful Thai food and brilliant entertainment as we chose to watch the band play Big Jim and the Alabama Boogie Boys. A wonderful evening with great atmosphere and ambience. The crowd were so supportive of the band and it was being out with friends and family not complete strangers. The outside space is delightful and I would highly recommend it!
