I go often to Isabella's as they are in the neighborhood and offer some of the best outdoor spaces up in North Scottsdale. But last night left a bad taste in my mouth about the place.
1. The food is just terrible. My friend and I ordered the bruschetta and the bread was stale. Like they have been using days old bread that should be used in meatballs instead. And the toppings were just blah. (It's not difficult to make)
2. The bartenders were beyond lazy. I had a women sitting at the bar come over to tell us that it was last call and then she delivered our check. She claimed she worked there and she was off duty, but i found this to be unacceptable. The bar was not busy and it was just terrible service. It angered me as i was not going to leave a tip, as i kept having to go to bar to ask for drinks and the order of bruschetta was forgotten and the bus boy had to ask about our order.
Again, I do enjoy the place, but there are other places that do so much of a better job. Hope they can get there act together.
