A few friends of mine and I went to Bar Isabel for a group dinner. We opted for the taste testing; recommended by our lovely server. We had the pan con tomato, the cheese/ meat platter, the spicy cauliflour, the octopus, sardines with jalapeƱos, clams (which were amazing), and a few other foods that were equally excellent. Although we found the portions a bit small for the 8 of us, the food was mouthwatering; there wasn't a single crumb left.
The atmosphere is great; dim and romantic but fun and upbeat. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and outgoing - and they knew their stuff which is always a bonus!
The only reservation I have about Bar Isabel is the price, but that's expected. You pay for what you get and what you get is lovely. I just wish the portions were a bit bigger!
Parking right across the street, very accessible.
Will definitely come back one day when I find a boyfriend and we decided to splurge on our anniversary or something.
