   The front of the restaurant has zero ambience. Our table was located near the door so one could feel the cool air all the time. Overall, this restaurant is overpriced and lacks ambience, certainly at the top end of the restaurant.

   I brought my friend out for lunch for her birthday and we loved our whole experience. A big shout out to our lovely waiter Jay who was attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend.

   Nice meal service a bit slow - we gave up on another bottle of wine as it took so long to arrive

   Enjoyed brunch with 2 friends on Saturday. Food was lovely and portion size perfect. Server was professional and efficient. While the booking emphasised that allowed time was restricted we didn't at all feel rushed or under pressure to watch the clock.

   I've visited Isabelle's many times and I always really enjoy the food and atmosphere. On this visit today for lunch with friends the food was great but the server started taking plates from the table while some of our group were still eating. They then brought us the bill and came and stood at the table waiting for us to pay. I understand there is a time limit on tables but we hadn't exceeded the time. We felt like we were rushed out of the place.

    I would seriously take a look at your front of house staff - you only get one first impression and as the “face” of the restaurant and the first person you are greeted by, I found their demeanour to be abrupt, rude and condescending. A queue was left form at the door, when it was the next persons turn there was no greeting or welcome but a very firm “do you have booking?” When the answer was yes it was an even firmer “name?!” When it came to my turn and I had a booking, my party was already there and I gave my name after the two abrasive questions, he gestured towards the back of the restaurant while looking at his computer screen and said last booth on the left… When I was leaving the restaurant, the same front of house manager shouted down the restaurant repeatedly to a member of staff, whilst guests tried to enjoy their lunch. When he finally got the waiters attention half way down the restaurant while he remained stood at the front door, he condescendingly waved his finger at them to come to him. I meanwhile walked by and was greeted the same way I had when I arrived.. with silence. Honestly completely turned me off returning to a restaurant I’ve frequented many times with friends. In a time when people are feeling the pinch with the cost of living, to go and spend your hard earned money and be treated like an inconvenience by the most senior member of staff in the restaurant.. appalling.
