| - I am giving this venue two stars for (1) the location of the restaurant and (2) because our appetizers were decent. Otherwise, we will not be returning to this establishment.
Isabella's sits on Grayhawk's Golf Course and has beautiful views from their patio. If you have the opportunity to sit outside, do it. They have table seating outside along with rocking chairs and cushions around fire pits. It is a nice ambiance.
After being greeted by three hostesses for dinner, we were seated inside at a high top table inside of the small seating area. It was very loud; I could barely hear myself speak. For appetizers, we ordered the roasted brussels sprouts and the mac n cheese, which both were good. For the entrees, we ordered the Butcher's 8" pizza, which was COVERED in what seemed like 3 lbs of different kinds of meat. It was uneatable. It also came out luke-warm. We also ordered the Southwest Caesar with added grilled chicken which was a joke. The chicken was cold and barely grilled. The salad was topped with raisins, dry tomatoes, and large slices of what I can only guess was pasteurized american cheese. The salad costs $18, which is ridiculous!!!!
Now onto the service. This restaurant was clearly run by girls and boys who are in high school and/or college and would rather talk with their friends visiting at the bar than ensure the patrons are taken care of. We sat waiting for our check for over 7 minutes, not to mention all of our waters were empty and never refilled halfway through the meal. When our server finally noticed none of us were eating anymore, he didn't ask if we wanted to box any leftovers up (we definitely didn't anyways) and took the credit card right away. Once he returned with our check, he went back to talking to his friends at the bar. Sub-par service at best. Don't waste your time dining here. This place is suited for after golf cocktails on the patio at best.
