Adam’s is a modern British restaurant in New Oxford House on Birmingham’s Waterloo Street. Adam and Natasha Stokes opened the business in 2013 and moved it to this permanent city centre home in 2016. The elegant but intimate dining room supports a special occasion experience, with the hospitality team guiding guests through a meal at a measured pace.
The kitchen presents evolving tasting menus that combine classical technique with a contemporary sense of composition. British ingredients and the seasons provide the framework, allowing vegetables, fish and meat to take the lead when they are at their best. Sauces, garnishes and precise preparation are used to clarify each ingredient rather than add complexity for its own sake.
A tasting format lets the cooking develop across several courses, moving through lighter opening plates to more substantial savoury dishes and dessert. Small details in texture, temperature and presentation give each course its identity while preserving a coherent progression. Guests should consult the current menu and restaurant team about dietary requirements because the selection changes over time.
Wine is an important part of the experience, with pairings and a broader list available to complement the menu. A chef’s table offers a closer view of the kitchen, while private dining provides a more secluded setting for groups. Adam’s combines ambitious cooking and polished service without losing the personal character of the independently run restaurant.
