Club Isabella it has been a while. The last time I was there was pre-fire and new space. I love the new space, it is open and the patio is lovely.
It was my beau's birthday so we went post-art museum for a late dinner. I was STARVING! I ordered a cocktail, "Pimm's Pink" it was delish, but due to my crazy hunger I couldn't drink it until I had some food.
Our waiter continued promising bread and finally it came. The herbed butter for the bread was nice. I ordered the scallops over cauliflower mash and my beau ordered a pasta dish with a side of Brussell sprouts. The scallops were perfectly cooked, however so overly seasoned and crazy salty I didn't enjoy them. I'm not sure why the chef felt the need to do this; if a scallop is good you need very minimal seasoning. My beau's pasta was loaded w/ capers and what looked to be like tuna fish out of a can. Really? Canned Tuna? The Brussel sprouts were an amazing explosion of flavor in my mouth, but I'm not sure what would have paired well with on the menu since they were so over-powering to everything else.
The service was S.L.O.W. and not incredibly attentive. Considering there were approximately 6 tables filled in the entire space, I felt the service was lacking. The food was meh. I might go back for a cocktail and the patio, but that is about it. Club Isabella, you disappoint.
