    We really enjoyed our visit to Isabelle's. Food was very good and we had a very helpful and friendly waiter. I just have 2 quibbles - three of us ordered the Stone Bass and the portion of fish served was very small - it was only about a half the size of a normal sea bass fillet and at almost e30 for the dish - I expected a larger piece of fish. Also service was very slow at times - we had to wait at times for water, to order drinks and get the bill. Overall a really good experience and happy to return and recommend.

    I booked here to meet some of my family. We were last here in August of 22 and had a very good experience. Today was the complete reversal. Service wears poor, one of four meals was delivered 25 minutes after the first 3. After 75 minutes or so we were asked to vacate the table as there was a party of 11 awaiting. We were not informed of this prior to the sitting as we thought we had between 2 and 2.5 hours. We spoke to manager with no success. We left. We went about 50 yards and continued with some cocktails. We won’t be returning to Isabelle’s.

    Food as always was excellent but the service on this occasion was very hit and miss. We waited almost an hour for food to be served - so long the second bottle of wine was almost completed and we then waited a further 30 min for wine. Not sure what was going on last night as we have used the place many times and have had great experiences but last night - it felt like the place was understaffed or staffed with very inexperienced staff

    Food was what was expected, wine selection was pretty good, but the server was the best service experience I’ve had in a while. All of them seemed to be that way so definitely go if you’re looking for a relaxing meal with great people.

    Great spot for brunch. Lovely warm decor that when paired with the great food and service makes for a memorable meal. Reception area is awkward with guest arriving and no place to stand. The greeting for guests is a little cold also with a sense of host being overwhelmed.

    The cocktails were deliciously beautiful and the pizza was so fresh and tasty. The venue is fabulous. It was my birthday so when booking Isabelle's, it asked if there is a special occasion. After the food and drinks they came out, sang happy birthday and gave me a plate with happy birthday, scoop of ice cream and delicious sauce on it. I defintely will return again. Its a great place to celebrate a 25th birthday.

    The food selection, quality of food and service were great. The lamb agnolotti and scallops with gnocchi were delicious. The ricotta cake with ice cream was a perfect end followed by Irish coffee. We appreciated the value and selection of the wines on tap.
