The service was great, appetizer were good but the main dish ( octopus) was overcooked and that was disappointing. The lighting at the back of the restaurant was a little intense on the eyes but overall it was ok. Having going to Spain almost every year, some things were missing. The pan con tomate missed salt and oil, the jamon was not as tender so maybe not de bellota, the patatas bravas did not taste like they should : the red sauce was overpowering the aioli and the potatoes were dry.

One of the best restaurants in the city! We started off with the sourdough bread with olive oil - it was super soft! Then we moved on to the bone marrow, which was very decadent - it came with bread and chimichurri. The grilled octopus was great, as usual. Something we tried different was the mushroom dish - which was meaty and delicious. Service and cocktails were amazing! Vibes were immaculate.
Food was alright for the price! But not mind blowing. it got extremely loud around 6-7pm to an extent we couldn’t hear each other anymore. There were a group of men speaking loudly which made everyone trying to talk louder which exacerbated the problem

Shrimp and bone marrow were the standouts. Mockails very good as well. Service was v. good as well. 20% auto gratuity worth it

All I can say is - AMAZING. We initially wanted to order a few dishes to try out, but realized there was a tasting menu that they offered. Bar Isabel doesn't tell you much of the tasting menu, and it's a very interesting concept, but I can confidently say that everything about it was amazing. You basically give the waiters an estimate of how much you want to spend on the tasting menu, and if you have any food restrictions, and they will bring out the dishes off the menu that they think you will like.Everything about this experience was so memorable. The good was amazing, everything was fresh. The sea bream ceviche and chips was so refreshing, and the shishito peppers are super tasty. I could go on and on about how incredible everything was (the food, the server was INCREDIBLE by accommodating all of the dishes we wanted to try), but I think the best way to experience everything is just go and try. We went here for our anniversary, and they even brought us a little dessert with the sign.WE WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK SOON.
What an amazing experience. If you are an adventurous eater, I suggest you go with the tasting menu.

Bar Isabel has some wonderfully delicious food. Our group really loved the soppressata and shaved foie gras pinxo. This is an absolute must try. We had a round and immediately ordered another - it was that good! Other standouts were the octopus and the jamon croquette. I also ordered a glass of the Liston Blanco. Delicious dry wine with loads of minerality. A 20% auto gratuity was applied which I had no qualms about as the service was excellent. I think I’ll have to come back for an upcoming anniversary!

Delicious food, great service, fun vibes! The place was completely packed out, but we were able to sit at the bar and have a drink until a table was available. Our server was extremely knowledgable and recommended loads of great dishes. Our absolute favourite was the bone marrow - it was extremely rich and savoury. We absolutely loved the chocolate/coconut dessert. It was small but mighty - the perfect way to end dinner. Can't wait to come back again.

My husband and I chose Bar Isabel for our anniversary dinner, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience.The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a romantic evening. While the ambiance was on the darker side, which some might find a bit challenging for reading the menu, the overall vibe was charming.The service was mostly exceptional; the servers were attentive, constantly checking on us to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. However, there was one server who seemed a bit abrupt, but that was overshadowed by the exemplary service provided by the rest of the team.The food was superb! Not only did it arrive promptly, but it also exceeded our expectations in terms of flavour.One aspect that surprised us was the 20% gratuity automatically added to the bill. While we were initially hesitant, fearing that it might lead to the servers not putting in the effort, we were proven wrong. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable evening, despite the gratuity being included.As the cherry on top of our anniversary celebration, just before settling the bill, we were presented with two yummy chocolate pieces and marzipan, accompanied by a candle, I did mention that it was an anniversary occasion on open table but in my experience that doesn't usually do anything so when the servers arrived with the treats we were pleasantly surprised.Overall, we left Bar Isabel with full hearts and satisfied palates. Bar Isabel provided the perfect setting for our special occasion, and we look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
