Dan Lowry in Cork

01/02/2025: For my father-in-law’s milestone celebration, he decided to visit his hometown in Ireland, and our first dinner happened to be at Isaac’s restaurant right in the heart of Cork. The ambiance is cozy with a touch of sophistication, yet it is casual. We were seated right away, and we started with several appetizers to share, such as seafood chowder with garlic croutons and crispy fried Brie with chili jam and mixed leaves, together with a nice bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. For the main entrée, my eyes caught the attention of mild Madras lamb curry served with basmati rice, poppadoms, and side dishes. I found it flavorful, and the lamb was tender and went well with the basmati rice and the red wine. We had a great time here. The service was efficient, the staff are friendly, helpful, and patient, even if we stayed past the closing time. If you happen to be in Cork, this place is a must-visit.

11/01/2025: We had an amazing dining experience at Isaac’s, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Luke. From the moment we arrived, Luke made us feel incredibly welcome and attended to our every need with genuine care and attention. The level of service was truly outstanding and set Isaac’s apart from other places we’ve visited. We highly recommend this restaurant, and if you’re lucky enough to be served by Luke, you're in for a treat!
