Amazing experience. Hillary was very knowledgeable about wines and the tapas were incredible. Great ambiance. Will definitely come back.

Brilliant in concept and execution. One of the best crafted and conceived meals, absent a michelin star..From the best local ingredients, a very skilled Chef and a first rank sommeilier '/ wine writer...cannot say enough as this is just so hard to get so right.

Hillary has curated a wonderful selection of wines, which change up frequently, and you won’t find in most of your typical wine bars. A great addition to the neighborhood and I look forward to seeing what they do in the coming seasons.

Enjoyed a lovely evening with friends while indulging in delicious food and wine. The presentation was top notch. Looking forward to our next visit. Great local place to meet and catchup over good wine and a scrumptious bite!

My husband and I had a memorable meal here last night. We had five different dishes and ordered one of them twice. Every bite was delicate, delicious, and beautifully presented. Both the owner and the server were welcoming and helpful. I really enjoyed the atmosphere which was both refined and casual. Would love to return soon.

We had a lovely time last Saturday evening. The wine list was well curated and the tapas (great selection!) was delicious and the perfect amount of food. The service was gracious and personalized. It is worth a visit simply to admire the charming decor. Looking forward to making Isola a regular stop!

Food was yummy. Service was very good. There were three of us, we shared 6 different plates and had plenty of delish food. Other reviews said “cozy atmosphere” - perfect description. We will return.

Had an amazing evening at Isola. The wine list is so unique and they did a great job helping us navigate which wines to try. So many good ones! The food was delicious and my favorite way to eat while drinking wine. Lots of small plates that are inventive yet refined. Our faves were the chickpea cake and chicken liver mousse. Can’t wait to go back!

What a nice treat for a Wednesday evening. The tapas were divine, the atmosphere was perfect. A cozy, friendly experience with great service. Thank you!
A breathe of fresh air for the Kinderhook region! Hillary is the wine genius behind the distinctive pours, and Chef Fernando wields a masterful hand in the kitchen. (My favorite dish is the Panisse!) Small Tapas Bites + Wines = Delicious. A must visit for those heading upstate!

Perfect place for girl’s night or date night. Such a cozy spot & the decor is beautiful. I was really pleased with the service and friendless of the staff. Definitely will be returning for more delicious tapas and carefully selected wine. My new fav spot

Parking: Hillary the owner brought New York City excellence with Isola while still keeping a cozy Kinderhook feel. The wine list is one of a kind from regions all outside of the US, making this wine bar experience unique from start to finish. The staff is warm and welcoming and the ambience is just as delicious as the wine and tapas. If you like wine as much as I do and sometimes just want that little extra half glass..they happily serve half glass pours ! Go check it out yourself, you will not be disappointed !
