    Excellent food, service and atmosphere, although it was very quiet at 1pm when we arrived, that said I can’t fault the venue, food or service, again, excellent.

    Amazing service - I didn't get the name of our server but he was attentive, gave us loads of info on the dishes even though it was a new menu. Food and cocktails were perfect. Will be back soon :)

    Sunday Roast, been to a lot of places for a Sunday roast and can honestly say this is one of the best I have had. Trio of Meat. Beef, Pork and Lamb. All wonderful. Yorkshire filled with beef as well. Amazing. Partner chose Seabass and also complimented how nice it was. A hidden gem in Brum and will be back again for sure. Compliments to the Chef and the front of house staff were great. Attentive but not intrusive. Bravo

    Love the space, staff are great, food feels overpriced. Nachos were the best part which ain't ideal. Steaks we're average, and the fries were lack lustre. Again, staff are great but we spent over £100 and left a bit disappointed.

    I love the decor at Isaacs. We had the chicken & beef burger which tasted wonderful. It's good value for money. My only negative comment was that one waitress kept coming to our table for our order, when she could clearly see that we were selecting our choices & in the middle of a conversation. We felt rushed. We dined at 3.15 on a Saturday & the restaurant wasnt too busy We still ordered ate & left within 2 hours.

    It was ok. The servers were good and attentive. The place was a bit dead so it lacked atmosphere. The food was fine but in no ways memorable. The cod dish was completely bland - a real shame because it was a great piece of fish. However, it was sat in what was supposed to be a tomato and olive sauce with fennel. It tasted of nothing. The burger was decent. The nachos were adequate. The wings were fine. The margaritas were too sweet. The prices seemed ok until you realize that you have to order sides separately (not for burgers) so a basic cod dish turned into nearly 30 quid and a steak dish into nearly 40. The place has great styling but it fails to deliver the same in food and ambience.

    Pre concert dinner so we were early diners. Service was attentive and friendly. Food was good. Love the bistro vibe of this restaurant with framed photographs and green tiled walls. Would go again.
