    Three of us had a lovely dinner with appetizers, mains, desserts and cocktails for $300 which I thought was very fair. Great service, nice presentation, and yummy meal choices. The wine list is massive but very pricey so we chose to try their signature cocktails which were yummy and fun. Although the decor is light and airy with beautiful views, the restaurant is large and very open with minimalist, small scale furniture which gives it a little bit of a cafeteria feel and takes away the ambiance. Not a romantic destination but tasty and we will go back.

    Everything was beautiful, except the food. It was presented well, but some of the eggs still had clear egg white spots, so undercooked. The avocado did not taste like simple smashed avocado. It tasted like vinegar that looked like avocado. I barely ate any.

    Isabelle feels like a new restaurant that is feeling it’s way into being exceptional. Our appetizer of whipped Feta was excellent however the portion size was absurdly huge for two people. The tempura vegetables were just tempura batter and oil… not so good. The grilled octopus Main for my spouse was massive and not cooked well. My main salad was mixed greens and berry salad with a nice light flavorful vinaigrette. Overall, my takeaway is, the place has potential but perhaps it should focus on some easier home run sellers before attempting more complex offerings that might not deliver the wow factor patrons need in order to return for a another meal. Keep trying Isabelle!

    My food was delicious. But my son ordered the lamb burger and it was so dry and over seasoned that he couldn't even taste the lamb. So he didn't even finish the burger. So disappointed as I have been to your establishment on a few occasions and been happy with the overall experience. Even brought friends there for birthdays and it had been great. So I'm not sure what went wrong with his order, but very disappointing.

    There were seven ladies in our group and five of us had the lobster linguine, excellent choice. Pasta was perfection and generous portions, lots of lobster. Cocktails were perfect, wine a little pricey. We found it a little noisy. Excellent service provided by our server Mercedes. Coffee cold however. Everyone couldn’t wait to go back with friends.

    The food was delicious and loved the lakeside view. Service was very friendly but would need reminders for some things. Nobody served the bottle of wine we had, even after they insisted they would do it. Also, dishes weren’t cleared. I would definitely eat here again, but just wanted to note the above.

    The outdoor patio is perfect for brunch but the brunch menu is a huge disappointment. Very limited, especially on any lunch items. Maybe some salads or sandwiches. They could also offer something like a customizable omlett or pancakes.

    We had really high expectations going into this reservation, but it was a disappointment. - parking was an issue. We had to park a few blocks away and walk. - entrance was on Elizabeth St, so we had to walk on the road in order to access the entrance (no sidewalk in front of the main entrance) - nobody was at the host table when we walked in. We waited for around 5 minutes before someone acknowledged our presence. - interior was ok, nice view of the water - server took at least 10 minutes before they came to the table (we almost left) There were only 4-5 tables that were occupied inside the restaurant, the rest was empty. The patio had tables, but shouldn't have affected the interior service. - we ordered the lobster Benedict and the Isabelle breakfast and coffee. The lobster was dry, but the eggs and hollandaise slightly improved the taste. Croissant was not fresh. The other breakfast - would not recommend the bacon option- as we only got one strip and it was dry - nothing special about that breakfast option. You could get that breakfast option at any other breakfast restaurant at a much cheaper price. - we left immediately after paying our bill. We felt sick and was subsequently for the rest of the day. Overall, would not recommend Isabelle. You're better off going to cafes across the street with much better food, service, and ambiance.
