I'll keep this short and sweet since others have definitely covered the pros and cons of our beloved Isabel.
The food here is really fantastic. They change their menu every so often to keep you on your toes. Some dishes I always enjoy - the bone marrow, octopus, meat/cheese board. For those that found themselves disappointed, it may be a symptom of having extremely high expectations. I think Bar Isabel definitely has one of, if not the best Spanish tapas foods in the city.
Overall, it is just a fun place to be any day of the week. It is always busy, the drinks and good and strong, and you just get quite comfortable and situated.
THE BOTTOM LINE: definitely worth going.
