We celebrated my daughter Chloe's birthday at Isidore, and the entire evening was fantastic! The…read moreservice was truly top-notch--attentive, polished, and perfectly timed. They went out of their way to make Chloe feel incredibly special and celebrated, which meant so much to both of us. Watching the staff present each course of the chef's tasting menu was almost like watching a beautifully choreographed play. Everyone knew exactly where to be and when, making each dish feel like its own special performance. The food was incredibly creative and unlike anything we had tasted before. Every course surprised our taste buds in the best possible way! From the unique flavors to the beautiful presentation, the entire experience felt thoughtful, exciting, and memorable. It was the perfect place to celebrate Chloe's birthday, and we'll be talking about this dinner for a long time!

This is one of the few "high end" restaurants that we have been to in Texas that actually deserves…read moreits accolades. We came here last weekend to celebrate a birthday and except for one pretty major mistake, we had a phenomenal experience. The space itself is just lovely...nothing you haven't seen before with the warm industrial decor and open kitchen, but it felt so pleasant to be seated in a classy, minimalist space with decent acoustics. Vibes were good. We got the Devil's Weather and Old Saint drinks to start, and they made our daughter a virgin pina colada--all three were excellent despite the fact that there was too much ice in a couple of them. For starters, do not miss the sourdough! Yes, it's $18 for bread, but the pemmican butter is worth the price of admission alone. The whole tableside service gimmick with the rock was slightly hokey, but we enjoyed chatting with the person and it was pretty fun watching the process while getting an explanation. The butter is TO DIE FOR. We could not believe how good it was! We also loved the buttermilk oysters, which was such a unique dish...like slurping the oysters down and then having the larger bacon pieces to chew on. So good. The cheddar croquettes were also a hit with our table, but we weren't in love with the heirloom tomato dish. The fact that they were peeled and with the granita was odd for mouthfeel. It wasn't "bad"...just not as impressive as the other ones. Now we've arrived at the major disappointment of the night: the porterhouse steak--ahem! the $200 porterhouse steak--which we splurged on and asked to be cooked medium. What comes out? A well-done strip section and a rare plus-ish/medium-rare filet. It was pretty disappointing, and then to add insult to injury, the mousseline potatoes served with the steak were cold. Cold! Listen, it's one thing to flub up your steak and potatoes, but if you're charging $200 for an entree (which we think is the most amount of money we've ever spent on a single dish), you'd better get it right. It's not like the kitchen is pumping out a bunch of those a night, so more attention should have been given to it. Anyway, the steak debacle brings us to the next topic, which is service, and it was top-notch here. Leon was attentive, professional, and struck the right balance of time at the table. When he asked about the steak, we told him just as an FYI because we are really against wasting food and didn't want another plate to come out. He did make it right on our bill by providing a discount, which we hadn't asked for but appreciated all the same. This is the classy way to handle a situation like this, and in that sense Isidore is better than a lot of the "fancy" riff-raff out there. So major kudos for that. We decided to skip dessert because nothing on that menu jumped out at us, and despite the steakgate, we left in high spirits and very impressed with the place. We can definitely see ourselves coming back again and would highly recommend it to others. Four stars for now, but hopefully five stars next time.

I've carried this for years, but I feel it's time to speak up about what happened to me while…read moreworking for Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, TX as a bus driver between 2011-2013. During my time there, I was falsely accused of sexual harassment by two older male employees. One incident involved a white male coworker who, on a school bus equipped with cameras, grabbed my hand and placed it on his private area. Despite there being potential camera evidence to support the truth, I was immediately treated as the aggressor. Instead of being heard or given the benefit of the doubt, I was questioned harshly by HR and painted as a "lustful Black woman," while the men involved faced no real scrutiny. A second false accusation soon followed from another male employee, as if my character was already tarnished in their eyes. What hurt the most was the lack of fair investigation--no one took my side of the story seriously. I was left feeling humiliated, targeted, and unsupported. I share this not for pity, but to: * Bring awareness to how racial and gender biases can shape workplace investigations. * Encourage others who have been falsely accused to know they are not alone. * Call on institutions like Northside ISD to do better in protecting ALL employees and ensuring proper investigation before judgment. No one should have to carry the shame of false accusations without their voice being heard.

I went from a child that cried to go to school, to a child that adores his school, and can't wait to go. In the words of my son, "mommy, Winston isn't is my school,it's my family" So grateful!

We were contracted by this school to perform outdoor services. They reached out to us. An…read moreagreement was reached for $3500.00 for each service performed. We visited the school a week in advance to ensure we performed exactly to specs. We performed said services in good faith.

Once we inquired, we were told they would not pay the agreed upon amount but a far lesser amount of $1500 would be paid. If you are a contractor, beware this school has not met their end of our agreement. Past behavior is a good prediction of future behavior.

Some of the "facilitator" staff would yell and berate us verbally picking on personal attributes and private performance information with everybody listening out in open spaces. i can recall a moment when i was on my laptop and i was just playing a game on my free time and i laughed at a joke a teacher made not even provoking him. he then proceeded to announce and i quote "yeah and i laugh the same way when i look at your grades!". situations like that and the degrading treatments i endured linger on me still to this day and it feeds into my paranoia and depression. im genuinely afraid to talk to my professors at the college i attend now because i just have this subconcious fear that im taking up their time and that if they know that i dont understand everything that theyll think less of me and that ill be nothing more then a verbal punching bag in their eyes despite repeated reassurances by the college staff that that isnt how they think but regardless no matter how much they show that theyre happy and willing to help i just cant bring myself to ask them because i think about what would happen if i tried to seek help at afia and choose id rather not bother anybody. any time i see grades and any note left by professors even if positive i cant help but click out before i can read too much; my eyes water regardless of the message. this "school" is a cesspool of unprofessional behaviour and psychological torment and rather contrary to their motto i failed to "belong", i failed to "find joy" even going to the mental hospital to be diagnosed with depression mid school year, and i most certainly did not learn how to "be great" as im left a few months after graduation feeling anything but great and more something around the likes of defeated, irrationally afraid and depressed. on the psychological care side of things there is virtually nothing done to try to help those that are in a poor mental state theres no consideration for the depressed, theres no actions taken to help those overstimulated by struggles in life even if it had the potential to be a danger to oneselves. a unfortunate occurance regarding lack of mental health care and intervention i recall was one time after i came back from the mental hospital scared and barely holding myself together with the persistant and frightening subconcious thoughts, despite establishing the trust issues i had with them historically at the time, i went to the office of one of the administrative staff to maybe seek help and ask what to do as i was afraid to really talk to anyone about it and i was desperate for any lifeline that wouldnt immediately upset and cause turmoil amongst my family and close friends so i sat down in the office with tears falling from my eyes and asked what i should do in case i were to "dissappear", referring to the mental hospital, mentioning explicitly how i didnt feel good in my mind and that i was frightened of what may happen to me. and do you know what the response was? she handed me an agenda and basically told me that i should use it to organize my schedule and in direct response to my comment about myself disappearing said "okay lets not do that". and thats all she said before ushering me out. i conclude my review saying if i could i would leave a lower rating and the fact that they turned off and deleted google reviews is VERY telling. i would never wish to ever experience something like this again and seriously, if braination cares about what little positive reputation this school has left then they must take action now and intensively review the performance of administrative staff of afia. I believe the idea and intention is absolutely wonderful but it just doesnt live up to the promises and so im left traumatized into the start of the real world.

When my son was 4, he attended his very first day of pre-K at this school after never having been…read morein daycare or a school setting before. It was a half-day practice session, and understandably, he experienced separation anxiety and attempted to leave the classroom several times looking for me. After just that initial 4-hour experience, I received a call from the principal stating that the school may not be able to accommodate him. I was also told that "our curriculum is accelerated and is not for everyone," and that if I chose to keep him enrolled and he were later removed, it would go on his permanent record. As a parent of a very young child who was simply adjusting to school for the first time, this was extremely discouraging and felt very final after such a short introduction to the program. At the time, I was also enrolled in IDEA for my daughters in what was described as an "advanced program," though I later came to realize the curriculum was not actually more advanced than what is offered in other local districts. Ultimately, I chose to withdraw my son and place him in a different preschool where he was given the time and support to adjust properly. Today, he is a thriving 5th grader at BASIS, where he is truly challenged and excelling academically. I share this experience because I believe early childhood education should include patience, understanding, and support for children who are new to structured school environments--especially at age 4. While this school may work for some families, it was not the right fit for ours, and I wish my son had been given more than a single day to adjust before being judged as incompatible with the program.
