Why?! What?! So confused. What is with the hype and long wait for a weekend table?! Seriously I prefer Mai Bistro and Spice Lounge over Bar Isabel 10x over and for less than half of the price. We ordered 5 dishes for two and a few cocktails. Total came to 170. It was good but it wasn't amazing. For the price, so not worth it. I can't say I would recommend it. Maybe people go here for the cocktails...but definitely can't be about the food. It was just okay. But the service was stellar. Very friendly and prompt service without being overbearing.
