Post #2 - April 10th, 2008, 2:47 pmNo, but I did have one of chef Eastwood's dishes at a recent charity event at Vie and it was very promising. He also has a new place, Olo, which is scheduled to open very soon in Chicago (west Randolph street).

Post #4 - April 11th, 2008, 7:08 amI've been twice, first right after they opened and the service was a little off but the second time, last year, everything was spot on. They rotate the menu with the season. I don't remember what I had but the sauce was so good I wanted to lick the plate.

Post #6 - April 11th, 2008, 8:45 amIsabella's is quite good. Its food is Mediterranean-focused and it has a nice collection of wines to accompany the food. The dining room also has a nice casual elegance that makes one feel they're out for a "fancy dinner", (and the experience matches up to the look, thankfully!) The Mediterrenean spreads with a glass of sparkling is a tasty way to start things out!

I'd second all the remarks so far. I ate at Isabella's a few weeks ago and it was an excellent experience. The Mediterranean Starter is a plate of Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata, Taramosalata and Hummus with olives and pita. All homemade and really good.http://eatingtheworld.wordpress.com/

Post #9 - January 16th, 2009, 6:49 amMy morning paper reports that's Isabella's will serve it's last meals this Saturday night. The economic downturn is the blame.

Post #11 - January 16th, 2009, 9:30 amHow sad. We stopped in there for a drink in mid December on a Saturday night before having dinner at Bien Trucha. The bar was completely empty and the restaurant was also. The bartender was not hopeful at that time.
