As regular visitors to Bistro des Artes we love the atmosphere, the service (laid back and unobtrusive) and the food which is classical French fare. Plus they have a varied wine list though the house white is very good. Never have any cause for complaint when visiting. A great laid back choice for good food and wine.

Excellent experience, it was disappointing that the service was not attentive, took over 30 minutes to notice us, though the place was not busy. We have been to Isola many times before and this was the first time disappointment by the server. Excellent food and ambience. Highly recommend!
