Food was excellent. Was noisier than expected with a couple of large groups at lunch. Service promptness was very good even if one server of two didn’t make much of an effort to exert himself.

The food was excellent. Great service. Lovely ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and they printed "Happy Birthday" and my friend's name on the menu.

We had a late lunch, so the restaurant was very quiet. The food & service were great. We hope to return the next time we go to this part of town.

Nice menu and great service, EXCEPT... we had established a great rapport with our waiter, we thought. Then we see him leaving the restaurant. He didn't even say he was leaving and then we had to find someone to close out our bill. The hostess wouldn't even come over. Not cool.
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on June 17, 2025
We're pleased you appreciated the menu and service from our team, Jennifer, though it's concerning to hear about the communication lapse at the end of your visit. Your experience is important to us, and we'd like to discuss it further. Please call us so we can work to make things right. Thank you. -Isabelle's team

Isabelle's brunch is always great. They do a bottomless brunch, but the wait staff is a bit vague on what is covered on the drinks, so make sure you clarify before ordering. My friend asked if her drink was included and the waiter said, 'we can make whatever you want.' Then when the bill came and it was extra he said that they could make it, that doesn't mean it's included. He also became very unavailable once I was the only one asking for refills, since it wouldn't add to the bill. I'll still go back because I love their scrambled eggs. Just know what you're getting into!
Isabelle’s OsteriaResponded on June 3, 2025
Thank you, Judy, for sharing your experience with our brunch. We're pleased to know you enjoy our scrambled eggs and consider Isabelle's a favorite for brunch. We're sorry to hear about the communication concerns regarding drink inclusions and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us ensure clarity and attentive service. Please call us to discuss this further and to help us make your next visit even better. Thank you. -Isabelle's team
