Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Came for bottomless brunch with a friend and couldn’t recommend the venue enough, the options within the menus are phenomenal and the upgrade price is cheap compared to the food you could get. Service was quick, getting my money’s worth. Sophie in particular was amazing, friendly and welcoming, making sure our glasses were always full and a smile was always on our faces. Highly recommend.

Really nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff. We came for bottomless brunch and Tashi was very nice and making sure we were always topped up with drinks. The food was fantastic. Cam was also amazing remembering us from a previous visit and chatting to us. It's always nice to see people make the effort to engage and enjoy their time at work by making sure others have a good time.

We had the absolute pleasure of being served by Aaliyah, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we were seated, Aaliyah made us feel incredibly welcomed with her warm smile and friendly demeanor. She was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our drinks were always full and our meals were served promptly. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, offering excellent recommendations that made our dining experience even more enjoyable. What really stood out was her genuine care for our satisfaction – it felt like she went above and beyond to make our visit special. Aaliyah’s positive attitude and professionalism truly made our night memorable. We will definitely be back and hope to be lucky enough to have her as our server again. Highly recommend!

Thought we would visit las iguanas before going to the theater, 10 past 5 we were seated at our table drinks ordered then around 10 Min later so was our starters and mains. Starter arrived pretty quick then we never actually saw our main meals asked 2 members of staff the first one was very rude and just replied yes I've seen your ticket it's coming. 30 min later still nothing then we decided we had waited too long and wanted to leave no apologies or anything from staff our waitress just came out of the kitchen with a plate of food and said oh here it is! Sorry after waiting over a hour and half I don't want rush food especially when it is just shoved at me while I am stood to pay. I wouldn't mind it wasn't busy, just awful customer service.

Booked here for pre theatre dinner arrived for booking to be told it would be a minimum 45 minute wait when advised we had booked for 6 due to theatre tickets he rolled eyes shrugged and said ‘what do you want me to do about it’. We left. Advice this place doesn’t book for people it can’t serve and invests in some customer service training for very rude front of house staff. Took our business to Italian next door who had a prompt prevtheatre menu and lovely service, much better option

The staff were very attentive and Ana our server was friendly and made sure we were looked after. The food was lovely and good value for money. My partner and I shared 4 tapas/starters: the Brazilian fried chicken, the chicken tacos, chicken quesadillas and beach cheese, all of which hit the spot! Would definitely come again- highly recommend

Delicious flavorful food, non greasy deep fried starters (spicy cauliflower bites, THE most delish onion rings), the single most tasty burgers (Copacabana, Buenos Aires) but what really makes it is the most friendly can-do staff you can find. They're all on point, no hassle, helpful... Nothing is too much trouble.
Particular note to Jamal who was a superstar and made our visit. Thank you Jamal!

We decided to eat here, having had a great experience once before. On this occasion, however, we were not that impressed.
The restaurant was not particularly busy but seemed a little chaotic: food and drinks slow to appear- although the team all very friendly. Food was pleasant enough but not great! As we had a theatre performance to attend, we had to cancel the coffee we’d ordered as we were informed it would take an additional 15 minutes (we’d already waited 10) a little baffling because, as stated, it wasn’t particularly busy and there were plenty of staff.
Overall, not awful, but a disappointment after a previous great experience. On the plus side, it was nice to have air con when it was 27 degrees that evening.

After trying to book the experience earlier in the month at my local and failing, I managed to book for the last day today of the promotion.
Can say that it was 100% worth the money and we managed to get through 8 dishes each in the 90 minutes, but we were not rushed at all- our fabulous server Aaliyah was very kind, patient and attentive; I don’t normally tip, but did on this occasion as the experience was worth it for twice the price.
Food was good- we tried a very good selection from the menu - I loved the calamares personally.
The mocktails are really worth the money too- part of the 2 for 1 offer at £7 for two in Birmingam. We had a good selection of those too! The coco caramel in particular is new and fabulous.
Would recommend!

Service from staff was good, however the quality of food has gone down hill. Had enchilada with chicken. This used to come out as a meal but now with re-fried beans so ordered extra side dishes. The enchiladas were full but unfortunately finding a piece of chicken within it was slim as it was packed full of rice . There was also a sauce on the top which disguised the fact there was actually little chicken inside. Real let down on quality of food.
Shared nachos were good but paid for the chilli and cheese sauce but they were tasty.
It was really busy in there, and really loud and felt like a bit of a playground. Wouldn’t go back.

The service was amazing and the food was delicious… highly recommend las iguanas in Arcadian! I had the chilli con carne and it was very sauce which is how I like it… also the fries were fresh and crispy just how I like them. Had the best time here!

The place is looking tired and needs a re fresh. The staff don’t seem to know what their doing, bringing us other peoples orders or forgetting what we had ordered. Food was ok, we upgraded on the bottomless brunch for more options as the brunch option didn’t have much we liked on it. The cocktails weren’t great i’ve had better elsewhere, they seemed watered down. I probably wouldn’t go again. It used to be a great place what has happened !!

Sophie welcomed us and took us to our table at 5pm, restaurant had a few tables full and the rest of the tables soon filled up while we made our order. We enjoyed the 241 cocktails with our meals and everything was delicious and hot. Shared starters and a main took us about 1&1/2 hours due to a bit of a wait fir the food. Couldn’t connect ti wig at table so took a walk by the bar to download some vouchers to use. Female toilets didn’t smell very nice and not a lot of liquid soap available. During our time we were asked if we wanted any more drinks and how our meal was. Look forward to going again.

We arrived at Las Iguanas at around 5pm for some food and drinks before a show later that evening.
We were shown to the bar area because they had some bookings in the restaurant area but we were welcome to food and drinks in the bar area but would either have to go to the bar or scan the QR code for food.
Ordered cocktails from the 2 for 1 menu and our first ones came out in Stella glasses! It wasn’t particularly busy so I don’t know why that was.
Drinks and food were nice. We had fajitas and coconut curry. However, the interior of the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. There were buckets and plastic tubs everywhere to catch water from the ceiling and it just looked tired and not looked after.
I wouldn’t come back to the Arcadian Las Iguanas again - maybe the other bars in Birmingham are looked after better?

Myself, my daughter and grandson went there on Saturday 9th July for a pre show lunch. We arrived at 12 noon and sat at a table. We had to go to the bar order and bring our own drinks to the table. We ordered our food at the same time. After waiting 45 minutes and having seen people who arrived after us eating their lunch I began to get very despondent. When paying I was not given my till receipt. I asked where our order was. It eventually arrived, lukewarm and the chicken was tough and had seen better days. . No one asked if the food was alright. I had to find a waiter and asked three times to get my till receipt. The toilets were DISGUSTING and stank even before opening the door!!! I would never return or recommend this so called restaurant. Save your money and go somewhere else.
