Steakhouses are well known for their celebration of bovine bliss, but Oscars Gourmet Steakhouse in the heart of Sutton Coldfield offers more than what one expects as the kitchen strives to thrill both fish and meat lovers. The results are certainly satisfying, thanks to their vision of presenting generous portions of the highest quality prepared to exacting standards in an enjoyable environment.

This theme extends to their fantastic selection of juicy, superbly marbled steaks, thick-cut rib eyes and fillets as well as king prawns and fish. Those looking for something different also have plenty to cheer about, there's Oriental chicken satay 'bang-bang' salad, slow cooked noisette of Cornish lamb, oven-roasted 'Jimmy Butlers' pork cutlet, and a massive 22oz Boston rib to share. A little bit of butter can improve a lot of things, especially the ones served at Oscars flavoured with garlic, herb, chilli and coral, and the otherwise homely desserts are made exciting with some innovation, like a warm icky sticky toffee pudding, glazed lemon tart and glazed mint crème brûlée.
