Isabelle’s looks beautiful and the menu offered nice choices for different tastes. However it failed to meet taste expectations. The pasta was salty and the meat was too rare. The kitchen was clearly backed up despite being one of the early tables there. They have some work to do.

Fantastic for a group! Our servers were very kind and attentive. We ordered everything from appetizers to pastas to entrees, and nothing was a disappointment. Our favorites were the calamari, meatballs, the pork chop, lamache, and mushroom lasagna. Our only regret was being too full for dessert but that just means we’ll have to visit again!
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on January 13, 2025
We're thrilled you and your group had such a positive experience at Isabelle's Osteria, Janice!

Thank you for sharing your experience! -Isabelle's team

Overall the experience was great! They did dim the lights very abruptly while we were there around 5:15 but hey I get it shifting to diner service. My one big complaint as the terrible portion size on the calamari and normally I wouldn’t note it but at $17 dollars I was shocked in the worst way possible. The service was good and the wine was delicious but very disappointing especially when compared to the potatoes massive portion size.
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on January 13, 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Courtney. We're thrilled that you enjoyed the overall ambiance and found both the service and wine to your liking. We value your insights on the portion sizes and lighting transition, and we would appreciate the chance to address your concerns. Please call us so we can work to make things right. Thank you. -Isabelle's team
