I had an amazing Christmas meal at Isabella’s on Lincoln Road. The food was outstanding!! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented (the Pavlova was beautiful) But what really stood out was the exceptional service. The staff were incredibly attentive from the entrance to finish, and the manager, Victor, made the experience even more special! He and the staff were so warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had the best pre-Christmas time. Thank you!

The food was decent, but the service was absolutely atrocious. I made a reservation for 2, and when we arrived, we were told there was no space inside, so we had to sit outside in the cold with heaters that didn’t even work. We asked the blonde waitress if we could be moved inside when a table became available, and she said yes, but 20 minutes later, we watched them seat a party of 2 at a table for 2 inside. We told the manager, and he lied straight to our faces, claiming that the people seated were part of a larger group and that the table was "open." But then, he brought us to the very same table they had just seated them at, while that party was moved to the bar. Our night was ruined—not just because we were lied to and freezing, but also because the other party got kicked out of their table. Unbelievable.
