Great meal, one of the best burgers I've had for a long time and the ribs for a starter were absolutely spot on! For the money it's definitely worth it. They were a little short staffed which did impact the evening a touch, but not enough to create a problem. I'd recommend a visit if you're in Birmingham.

We did not come for food but for the jazz night! This was such good fun and nice to see this change in Birmingham! Organised well and quite intimate - good live performances! I’m writing this review because the staff on Friday 23rd May were ever so kind, helpful and really made our evening so special! I had booked this with my family as as a pregnant woman, they were able to cater to my needs and move us to a nice central table with fantastic views of the performance! We also had mocktails made albeit these were very acidic but they knocked this off the bill. We had a fantastic drinks waitress and the main male manager I believe it was, was very accommodating! Happy with the service here! The jazz night itself was good fun, I like that they do different performers every weekend and I’ll definitely come back to check out the others!

The food was really good. I had the prime rib burger, which was probably the best burger I have ever had. The cheese and bacon nachos, although not much of them, were delicious. The staff were fantastic. If the portions were slightly bigger, this would probably be my new favourite restaurant.

What a lovely restaurant! The food is fantastic. I had the Sea Bass and my partner had the three roast. He said best roast ever! The staff were wonderful. All very friendly and attentive. Special shout out to Phoebe and Oscar, service with a smile!

Delicious food and nice atmosphere! 1 fault - I’m gluten intolerant and the waitress handed me the allergen sheet without explaining anything. (I’ve been to many restaurants and asked for the allergen menu - they all list ingredients differently) I would definitely come back here.

We booked a table for our 1st wedding anniversary at the Isaacs restaurant. We were seated at the same table where we had a wedding breakfast last year, too. It brought back memories of our wedding at the Grand Hotel in 2024. The food was amazing. I ordered chicken leg served with sweet corn sauce, broccoli and potatoes for my mine, and I must say that is the most delicious dinner I had for so long. I'll try to replicate this recipe at home, too. Thanks. It was good to return, and I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.
