Ellen was our waitress and she was an absolute gem! She served a party of 10 and consistently updated folks on their drinks orders etc and made excellent dish recommendations based on individuals preferences. Down to earth and personable, Ellen was lovely and made our experience top notch!

Love the food. It’s not only about good ambience but also about good food professional customer service. Perfect for date nights. I got the cocktail something berries and we got the lemon spaghetti, fried calamari, and famous hand, cut rigatoni.

I made a reservation for 1/1/25 and traveled 45 minutes to get there. When we arrived, Jimmy the person at the front did not answer any of my calls when I was trying to confirm they were still serving food. He later checked the call logs and saw that we had called five times. We were never notified that the kitchen would be closing early, and we did not receive any text or phone call informing us. This was a very frustrating experience.

This restaurant is not safe for women!!
I visited this restaurant on New Year’s Eve (yesterday) to have dinner and drinks with two close friends. We are three young women from Denmark who were simply looking forward to a nice evening together. Unfortunately, the night turned into a very frightening experience.
While at the bar, I suddenly became extremely unwell. I strongly believe my drink was spiked. This was my own glass of wine, which I had paid for myself and kept in my hand the entire time. I have never experienced anything like this before. I felt dizzy, completely lost control of my body, and my vision almost disappeared. I ended up hitting my head very hard in the restaurant’s bathroom and now have a visible mark on my head.
I immediately reported what had happened to the staff (pretty sure he was the manager) and pointed out the man I believed was involved. The staff told me they were quite sure they knew who I was referring to. A short while later, it turned out that the same man was sitting in another bar area within the same restaurant. I informed a manager again, who said he would “see what he could do,” but nothing happened. There was no follow-up, no action taken, and the man was not asked to leave.
The bartenders gave me some water, but beyond that, the situation was handled with a complete lack of seriousness and care. I was left feeling unsafe, ignored, and unsupported during a very vulnerable moment. It was especially disturbing to see that the person I reported remained in the venue for the rest of the evening. It also appeared that he was friends with some of the staff, possibly a regular, which may explain why nothing was done.
I have previously worked in the restaurant industry, and if something like this had happened at any place I worked, it would have been treated with urgency and responsibility. That was not the case here. Whether due to personal connections or indifference, the lack of action was deeply unsettling.
What should have been a joyful New Year’s Eve was ruined by fear and the feeling that our safety did not matter. I sincerely hope the management takes situations like this far more seriously in the future, because no guest should ever feel this unsafe — especially after reporting something this serious.

I dined here earlier this month and we went for a friends birthday. Even though we had a reservation, we were missing one person so they asked that person must arrive in 15 mins to be seated. She did arrive on time and they still cancelled the reservation, they had to find us another table. We waited a few minutes and I had to ask 4 staff members if we can order some drinks and our meal. Both of which took quite a while to arrive. Food was decent, drinks were decent. Service was sub par.

Ysabel was absolutely stunning! The ambiance and views made the perfect backdrop for our celebration with friends. We were there for a birthday, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish. The food was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented every dish was a hit! The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was both chic and cozy, making it easy to enjoy the night with great company. We had such a memorable time celebrating here and can’t wait to come back again! Highly recommend for any special occasion or a stylish night out.

Food is very average. There are rats at the restaurant and when I communicated with the manager, he just said “yes sorry we are in a covered patio and sometimes it happens” and when I asked “so are you saying it’s normal?” He replied “no I’m not but it happens. I hope you have a great night” That was literally his way of facing the fact that there are rats at this restaurant next to the dining tables.

Must be new management. Manager Roy doesn’t know the difference between Medium Well and Medium Rare cause, here they both look the same. Sad cause it was a great joint the first time I was here. Laurel Hardware so much better. Atmosphere is beautiful tho.

Ysabel is a gem! Beautiful atmosphere, low lighting, gorgeous and elegant on the inside and out. However, I feel the quality of the food doesn’t match the atmosphere. I’ve been here a couple of times and this most recent I wasn’t impressed with the food. On the other hand the service here is amazing, our server was a delight and they offer vallet parking. If you are looking for an LA restaurant for vibes, good drinks and cute photos this is the spot, for food thought stick with the classics!
What we ordered: (got double of everything for 6 ppl) Tuna cripsy rice: 7/10, i personally am giving this a 7 because although it is one of my favorite appetizers I felt this was nothing special. No extra WOW, but it is a classic and like I said one of my faves! Grilled shrimp: 8/10, this was quite yum! came with a sauce to dip in, very crunchy on the outside, mmm. wish they came with more but yk its an app parm fries: 10/10, YUM, can never go wrong with an order of these. lobster ravioli: 0/10, do not recommend. I love lobster ravioli but for some reason this was a NO. the whole table couldnt even finish their bites. the flavors, seasoning and lobster did not pair spicy rigatoni: 7/10, again nothing wowing about this dish but it is a classic and you cannot go wrong many drinks: 10/10 their drinks are amazing, we ordered espresso martiniss, beer, whiskey, tequila

First time here! Excellent service, food and overall vibe. Started with burrata and Brussels sprouts (was a lot….don’t need both). I had the branzino. Delish!! My husband had the chicken schnitzel. Also delicious. We also had a side of the corn which was so terrific, but we were stuffed! A great evening. Wish I had gotten our server’s name so I could recognize her here. She was fantastic.
