Disappointing
experience
at
Bar
Isabel
tonight.
We've
been
really
looking
forward
to
trying
out
this
place
-
it's
been
on
our
radar
for
3y
now.
To
be
able
to
try
as
many
things
as
possible,
we
went
for
the
tasting
menu
("Chef's
Menu"),
which
sounds
very
promising
when
booking.
However,
when
we
got
to
the
restaurant,
not
only
did
the
waiters
not
know
that
this
is
what
we
ordered,
three
different
waiters
asked
us
what
we
want
to
order.
We
finally
started
getting
dishes
served
and
the
food
was
very
tasty
however,
we
only
got
a
handful
of
dishes,
no
meat
dish,
no
questions
asked
regarding
whether
we
feel
we
had
enough
or
if
everything
is
fine.
We
realized
after
the
fact
that
the
quarter
octopus
and
pumpkin
was
our
main
course
to
share.
We
realized
that
when,
while
waiting
for
a
meaty
dish,
a
dessert
was
served.
The
waiter
didn't
even
ask
us
if
we
want
coffee/tea
with
our
dessert.
By
the
time
we
got
to
order
our
coffee,
the
dessert
was
long
gone.
At
the
end
of
the
meal
we
did
the
math
that,
had
we
ordered
the
food
we
got
from
the
menu,
we
would
have
paid
~$70/person.
All
that
the
"tasting
menu"
gave
us
is
the
lack
of
opinion
to
choose
our
dishes
and
we
paid
$77/person.
The
service,
as
mentioned,
certainly
didn't
justify
the
mandatory
20%
charge.
Bottom
line:
we
enjoyed
the
food,
but
it
certainly
wasn't
a
$300
worth
of
meal,
which
is
what
we
paid
for
a
few
tapas
and
a
$60
bottle
of
wine.
We
left
really
disappointed,
especially
because
of
how
much
we
wanted
to
love
Isabel
and
after
checking
the
regular
menu
and
realizing
that
we
could
have
ordered
a
lot
more
food
and
all
things
that
we
like
for
the
same
price.
We
decided
to
share
our
feedback
with
the
staff,
who
apologized,
but
thought
that
a
sourdough
is
an
appropriate
compensation.
