Isabel PearlWe'll Be BackFirst time visit for birthday celebration. First impression only fair - there's not much signage outside and the inside could use a good scrub . However, surprise, surprise - the service was great and the food was excellent - especially the fresh Sea Bass special.
We'll go back for sure.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMHad a great time!Delicious and healthy food.

The food was delicious and the space was inviting!5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious. Wholesome & AffordableA friend and I were passing through PDX on a short roadtrip. My fave restaurant was booked out so we tried Isabel Pearl instead. Some things just work out for the best as this place was a REAL GEM. They get the basics spot on: Delicious, wholesome and affordable (not "cheap" - but a terrific value for under $20 per person for dinner). Additional bonuses: Apparently they grow much of their own produce on a local organic-method farm nearby; One side of the building's glass walls tip out to offer the feeling of outdoor dining without being entirely exposed; The menu items are culinary creations - interesting (in a good way) - and all at this price. We were impressed, and I would definitely go here again next time I was in PDX.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMService and friendliness wereService and friendliness were great. Food was exceptional.

The food here was AMAZING. I got the Salmon and my husband got the Steak--both were very tasty, perfect texture, not overcooked, fresh vegetables and a creative twist of coconut rice and fried bananas, respectively, as the starch--super tasty! We would definitely go again.3/10/2013 12:00:00 AM
