Was a bit apprehensive after reading a number of bad reviews on the service but was eager to go because of the descriptions of the food. A sleek, bright, stimulating and inviting space hits an encouraging opening note. Hendricks, muddled cucumber and hibiscus liqueur gets the engine purring. Steamed buns du jour filled with pork belly (dim sum sans cart) followed by the tartare sampler with toast slats and breaded deep fried poached egg. A tremendous start. The peppery arugula salad was nicely balanced by a sweet pea vinaigrette although the goat cheese stuffed potato was undercooked. My walleye was crisply browned with a moist interior and was nicely complemented by the celery root slaw but the wild rice was too salty. My wife's cassoulet was served in a bowl and once the cauldron's temperature fell below kiln level it was savory and smoky. The remains will be enjoyed at home while watching Mad Men. Finished with a nice tiramisu and then over to Corbo's for tomorrow night's dessert. I can't wait to get back to Club Isabella because I need to try the cuttlefish, the charcuterie, the frog legs, the baked beans, a pizza....
