   Overall a very fun experience and we’d love to return. Came to celebrate a birthday and we were not disappointed. Cocktail was very good and strong. We were delivered complementary champagne for me and a non alcoholic rosé for my girlfriend as she does not drink and they inquired before surprising us, which was a very nice gesture. We’d maybe not order some of the small plates again as some were underwhelming while others were extraordinary. I also found my steak to be particularly tough for the price, however it was a perfect medium rare as ordered and the flavor was great. I didn’t want to trouble the staff so I just took most of it to go. Next time I’d probably just opt to try the pork or chicken dishes. Dessert was also superb. The ambience and service made up for any of the other shortcomings of the meal. Would happily return.

   We had an excellent experience!! The service was phenomenal. Everyone was welcoming, helpful, and timed perfectly. The food was incredible. Such wonderful flavors! We especially enjoyed the snapper tartare, crab toast and pork chop. I enjoyed watching the kitchen at work as well. No one seemed frazzled or hurried. Highly recommend!

   Thoughtful. Interesting. Fun. An impeccable meal from start to finish. Maybe the most interesting (and delicious martini I’ve ever had). Outstanding service by down-to-earth, friendly people. Really smart menu. Raving about this place.

   We went to celebrate our anniversary, and they took care of us. It was a very special experience.

   Friendly service (perfect balance of attentiveness - as soon as we finished a dish, it was taken away so quietly and quickly we almost didn’t see them! Our server (Alexis) made the evening extra special with great recommendations, friendly interaction and a bubbly upbeat personality. Comfortable searing, perfect lighting/temperature. Noise level low to moderate (no problems hearing your dinner companions). Food was incredible! Every dish was perfectly balanced, the attention to detail and presentation fabulous. Wiat time for food after order was short. They have a sommelier if you wish, but wines by the glass were well chosen. Can’t wait to come back!!

   Tasting menu is an excellent way to experience Isidore. The sommelier did an excellent job explaining each wine they paired with each course. Food was delicious and an interesting mix of taste and texture.

   This was the worst meal we have ever had. It started with a half dozen oysters, which were clearly shucked at some point prior to dinner service. They were bad and we had to send them back. Our server was polite about it and the restaurant took them off of our tab. Next we had the tomato pie, which was a gelatinous mess, and the crab toast, which was really just cream cheese on bread (no crab, no toast). We also had the Yuba and Cream, which we did not care for...that dish wasn't inedible, and the bread it was served with was great...maybe it just wasn't our thing. Our main courses were the pork chop and the snapper, and while I did not care for the sauce on the pork chop, it was at least edible (and the cabbage that accompanied it was outstanding). However, the snapper was not edible. It was extremely fishy. The restaurant offered to make her something else, but at that point, we were just ready to leave. We also need to mention a cocktail that my wife ordered, the Miracle of the Well Martini. While the presentation was interesting, this was basically an onion bomb. I don't know if the vodka was infused with onion or what, but it was nasty. Just really terrible. The staff was great all the way around, and I felt like they really cared about our experience, as evidenced by them taking the oysters off our bill and offering to make my wife another entree. Unfortunately, the food (and the Miracle of the Well Martini) was so bad across the board that I feel like I have to say something. While it is possible they just had a bad night, I don't think that is it, because it wasn't just one thing that they got wrong.

   Overall it was good. I wasn’t impressed with the steak - it was very fatty and grisely, which was very disappointing for a $70 steak. I expected exceptional for that price and was unimpressed. Music was also rap/hip hop which was strange for the atmosphere
