Fiesta del Asado (Edgbaston)

• On entering you are warmly greeted and shown to a bar to the right with seating
• It was quiet to begin with but soon filled up and had a good atmosphere
• The decoration is pleasant but not entirely to my liking
• An exposed brick wall with metal bread oven doors dominates the room
• At the back is an open plan kitchen showing the chefs busy at work on the large Asado (barbecue)
• A meat feast was what we&rsquo
• D come for and a meat feast is what we ordered
• Cheese and bread with sobrasada (a rich pork based spread)
• The quantity was perfect for a starter
• Very rare steak was one of the best I have ever tasted
• Salsicha criolla (tasty mini sausages with a citrus flavour)
• Chorizo and morcilla curada or black sausage with garlic and paprika (for me too overpowering)
• The selection was served with a small dishes of good sauces (chimichurri and malbec)
• Whereas I decided another beer was in order for me
• The almond and orange tart served with honeyed ice cream looked good and seemed to disappear very quickly (so it must have been good)
• Went down very well with the meat feast
• It had some of the best meats I have eaten out for a long time
• This restaurant is of a high calibre and the price reflects this so I have reviewed it accordingly
• The menu can be expensive but the value for money was good about £
• 300 for 6 with mains/ a few desserts and a fair bit of alcohol (I think it was 3 bottles of wine a few shots and a few beers)
• Considering it was a bit of a feast I think the price was reasonable
• The restaurant was misleading from the outside
• Looking at face value to be a rundown building on Hagley Road with an Argentine flag outside and limited parking (reasonable at the back looked a bit dodgy for the cars parked at the front)
• Once inside it was a different story
• Well presented staff in a comfortable setting in style with the restaurant
• I found the service to be of the highest standard and was suitably impressed from booking to the end of the meal
• We felt welcome upon entering and our waitress was attentive throughout
• She explained how each cut would be when cooked which was quite helpful for the larger dishes (they have a 40oz t bone which was cooked pretty well considering its size)
• I did notice that the staff taking the orders were much more professional than the staff serving the meals
• The restaurant was absolutely packed and I noticed the serving staff squeezing past customers and even forcing themselves in front of customers being seated
• The overall service was very good however and enough to compensate for this minor occurrence (however I wouldn't expect customers to be brushed aside in any restaurant let alone on of this calibre)
• I would say that if you order the large 40oz t bone to ask for it to be seasoned more as it was lacking compared to the other dishes
• Towards the end we asked for part of the t bone to be cooked a little more as it was too rare for our liking and they were happy to oblige)
• Oddly enough for a steakhouse I thought the sausages and chicken of the mixed grill were the best parts of the meal
• I was slightly disappointed with the short ribs that were ordered as having had this cut abroad in south america in the past I held very high expectations
• I came expecting them to be cut long with most of the bone intact
• This is actually only part of the short ribs with the majority of the meat being from a different cut
• Desserts were ordered with 2 of us opting for the churros and one portion of the orange pancakes
• Pancakes were great and the ice cream that came with it was dense
• The churros wasn't fully cooked through and was like a soggy donut inside
• The replacement was better but still a bit of a soggy inside (maybe a bad batch
• Considering every seat was full with a few covers
• Fiesta del Asado (Edgbaston) is really recommended
• The pasta had a thick tomato sauce with a subtle taste of spices
• I also tried the Yerba Mate Tea which was decent (similar to green tea I suppose)
• The seats looked classical but to be honest were not that comfortable however that was not a big deal
• On the bone with Malbec sauce however
• A fantastic bottle of Malbec coupled with the rack of lamb
• When I told them it was the BEST steak I had ever eaten
• Fiesta del Asado is an absolute must for anyone who loves their steak and actually for any other food lover
• Came here on a weeknight with my friends celebrating my birthday
• The steak is the best I've tasted in Birmingham
• The creamed spinach side is so moreish
• The portions are very generous fantastic value for money and I will come back again and again
• I was not able to try the steaks because they are cooked alongside shell fish
• The 12 hour cooked brisket was an excellent alternative
• Those who chose sea bass were also very pleased with this choice
• The contamination of the steak dishes with fish and it is bit pricey
• Classic restaurant with dishes that make you feel like each dish was made especially for you
• If the prices are too much is up to you but enjoy food that you probably never had before
• Visited as a large group which meant we were sat on a large table in the middle of the restaurant
• All steaks were cooked perfectly and can definitely be recommended
• A full midweek dining room is a sight that makes me happy
• Those who eat on school nights are committed gluttons
• They know where the good stuff is at and they don&rsquo
