The experience was truly remarkable. The service was helpful and educated in their menu. The tasting of the food melted in my mouth and was delectable. Highly recommended for many menu choices.

Great time at Bar Isabel, we loved our server and our food choices - especially the octopus. The dessert was also to die for.
The atmosphere is amazing the wine list also extensive! But the food was just okay I would go back for the atmosphere

i’ve been meaning to try bar isabel for a while, and it surpassed my expectations. this restaurant is easily one of the most thoughtful in the city — from the beautifully designed interior to the attentive, friendly service that makes you feel right at home. my water or wine glass was never empty, and the team quietly folds your napkin every time you step away from the table… elegant and effortless, never attention-seeking.
the tuna crudo might be my favourite dish on the planet right now — i would happily order ten of them (okay maybe not ten but you get the point :) everything we tried was delicious, and you truly can’t go wrong with the menu. the only slight miss for me was the octopus, which was a bit overcooked, though still beautifully plated and enjoyable.
this is the kind of place where you sit for three or four hours with good friends and lose track of time. i will definitely be back.
(not my best photos cause we got too excited when the food arrived haha)

Overall a kinda disappointing experience because the food was very average for the price.
We went there for the afternoon special and ordered octopus extra because everyone was saying how good it is. We also gave a few try’s on the drink menu.
First off, the afternoon special was a really good deal and the pork was absolutely the best course of the meal.
However , the octopus we ordered extra was very mid and not flavorful at all. We had to ask for salt to add some saltiness to it. It’s not quite worth for a $60 dish. The drinks were also not that good. I ordered two mocktails thinking maybe the second one would be better but it wasn’t really. Our bill ends up $200+ for two people.
I would not recommend it if you’re looking to spend $100+ per person and expect above average good food.

Outstanding as always. There's a reason this restaurant is consistently booked out and recognised in the press. Always delicious and an absolutely delightful experience overall. Excellent wine recommendations this visit as well.

Way to incredible for words. Please make your way to Bar Isabel to fully experience for yourself.
The Saturday lunch special is a great deal and a way to try some of their popular dishes. The pan con tomate was delicious.
Reservations recommended.

To be honest, I came with so many doubts and high expectations, and every single one goes away, is a perfect place, the food is amazing, service amazing. Perfect octopus, picanha, marrow bone, cocktails… everything. Thank for your attention Scott!

I came here for a date night, my only complaint was it was a bit loud, but that is because the place was packed. The food was amazing, staff were all nice and service was incredible. Will defintely be back.

I don't think I've ever had a less-than-excellent overall experience at Bar Isabel, and I recommend it to people, knowing it won't disappoint. It's all great, and the food is so delicious!

The quality of service is impeccable. The food is delicious. The wine list is extensive and wonderfully curated. The lighting is perfect. If you're going for a dinner, do yourself a favour and trust your server to make the food decisions for you. You will not regret it. No matter how full you are, you have to get the basque cake with sherry cream. This is always the place where my partner and I go for a special night out, and to say "it never disappoints" is to understate how Isabel makes that night special.
