Date night with my wife we had a very nice time. The cured meat and cheese platter was my favorite, and the bread was amazing. The tapas dishes were riffs on known flavors with subtle additions that worked well show creativity My wife enjoyed the sangria again, riffs on standard flavors, but not so out there to unpleasant. In other situations, I've seen riffs that are forced being new for the sake of being new, and I did not see that here in the food or drinks. The riffs here worked But what made the evening was the service. Our server, Linel, got the tone just right, engaged but not intrusive, responsive and attentive without being overbearing. She kept an eye on us and made sure all was go...
I had a great time sitting on the patio at Isabella Eatery last night. We were seated at the gold chairs, which were gorgeous and comfortable. I've sat at the booths before and loved them too. The food was good, but I only had a burger which was just okay, nothing spectacular. However, my friend was dining here for the first time and seemed to really enjoy the experience. The location is perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show, as Cirque du Soleil's LUZIA is currently in town and within walking distance. Overall, a nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal.
Not bad but not worth the hype. Their famous Burnt eggplant dish is not bad and its very interesting but is more about concept that taste. The famous Bomba rice (we had the chicken one) was okay. We had some fantastic cauliflower and Brussels sprouts but overall I would not likely go back here again. Service was great. The waitress did take a LONG time to get back to us about drinks so two dishes were out by the time she got back but outside of that forgivable blip, everyone was friendly and efficient.
We later found out that we could also order from Graffiato (Italian), but we were not informed of this option until halfway through our meal. We believe that the overall concept of combining different restaurant concepts needs improvement, including gathering real-time feedback from customers to better showcase the choices from each themed eatery. Additionally, we found that the pricing was inconsistent between menu items and often seemed high for the quality of food that was served.

not bad, but not worth the hype. her famous burnt aubergine dish is not bad and its very interesting, but is more about the concept, the taste. the famous Bomba (we had that huh) was in order. we had some fantastic cauliflower and Brussels spears, but overall I wouldn't be back here again. service was great. the waitress took a LONG time to get us back about drinks, so two dishes from the time she came back, but outside this hopeless blip, everyone was friendly and efficient.
First time visit to this location. Nice ambiance and decor. Arroz focuses on small plates, like most of Isabella’s concepts. Good flavors, but hard to share even between two people when you only get a half a piece of toast with a shrimp and savory sauce dish. Was surprised that only scallops came on a plate of Pallea...sadly it was rice with a sprinkle of onion and sweet pepper. Too many wasted carbs with this dinner!
the menu very misleading, server unfamiliar to foods and no explanation of the menu. the food was either pork or fried chicken and there was no healthy choices, no appatizers, no desert. there was a hard rock loud music over our table. this restaurant is going to loose a lot of money and close soon. It was one of the worst restaurants we have ever been.
The food at this restaurant was both intriguing and tasty. Though initially disappointed by a dessert option being unavailable, the server surprised us with a delicious alternative - vanilla ice cream from the creamery. It turned out to be the highlight of the meal, with all five of us agreeing it was the best we had ever tasted.

a wonderful place in an upscale mall. We residents in McLean and Tysons area are lucky to have this quality restaurant in our neighborhood. Very reasonably priced too.
Loved it. Everything about it. Food is as good as in DC and if you live or work in the tysons area this is perfect for lunch
