this place slays. I wish they were open more. I would come here every day if I could. but I can’t because they’re not open every day. the bar staff is so friendly. I wish izzy’s was bigger so I could bring everyone I know. But it’s small. the cocktails are delicious. thanks for reading.

Intimate bar with great food— the unagi melts in your mouth and the drinks are incredible. All of the staff are friendly and willing to talk, genuinely a great vibe and happy to have it on the Main Line!

The food is phenomenal! They melted in my mouth in a heavenly blend of flavor. The cocktails hit hard and are deliciously unique. Yes I’m buzzed while writing this and I’ll do it again! The staff is super nice and well informed if you don’t know what to get. The music’s vibes may seem odd at first, but then it helps ya feel comforted like you’re in a boozy, comfortable hot spring outside of Philly. This was a superb first impression, and I’m sold. I don’t know what my price is yet on my check but I can tell you it’s worth the price! 5/5 will eat here again!

Overall, underwhelming. Didn't meet expectations. Maybe we tried the wrong drinks and food items, but nothing stood out and nothing made us want to consider going back.

What a gem! Outstanding hand rolls, delicious cocktails, kind service, sexy atmosphere, albeit a wee bit loud.

Funny, friendly bar staff... Unusual and excellent menu... New food for me to try (mushroom testing like pulled pork?) and new cocktails. What's not to love! Try it!

The food is decent and the atmosphere is unique. However, the whole operation feels very barebones and the price to portion is a joke. Don't come hungry, don't come for authentic Japanese.
My spouse and I tried out Izzy’s for their valentine’s day tasting menu! This was their first tasting menu event and they did a fabulous job hosting one of the most unique dining experiences I’ve ever had. When we arrived, it was clear that they were still turning over seating from their previous time and the vibe was a little tense - it’s also just a small place, with a lot of people standing and waiting 🤣 but they eventually got it together. I will also say my only other critical piece of feedback is that the stools at the bar felt sort of narrow and weren’t the most comfortable to sit in. BUT! the food and the hospitality!!! We had a perfect view of the chef’s station, a micro kitchen where they were preparing all of the courses. Both chefs and all of the bar tenders spoke to us personally. Before the courses even started, they brought out oysters with caviar with a sake pairing! the playlist was fire 🔥 every course was unique and delicious, and those who were serving us were excited to talk about the food with us. and we left feeling well fed. There was such attention to detail in both the food preparation (pieces of carrots cut into hearts) and the drink service (offering us a tea packet from the same company they served us to take home to try). not to mention the cocktails. these really shine. Yes, this is an upscale experience and you’re definitely paying for it. but you will be given a very cool foodie experience in a cozy, intimate space. One of my new favorite memories!

Phenomenal on all fronts. Must try. Great vibes and a very skilled, passionate staff from the front to the back. Exceptional bar program. Exactly the caliber that the Main line needs! So excited to have a new go-to place that feels like a city quality. They are putting out great food and cocktails.

Lovely dinner with girlfriends - drinks are so creative and food was delicious. Service was fantastic- we felt like we had great guidance on both the cocktail and food menu which really made the experience so personal. Highly recommend the scallop hand roll and the cucumber salad. Also had the most delicious oyster hand roll special - amazing!

Great addition to Ardmore! Drinks are delicious and creative, pretty presentations. Hand rolls were delicious with a good ratio of rice to fish. Good date night spot or pre dinner drinks with friends.
