Isabelle's

Another fun annual holiday lunch happened yesterday. I meet a good friend for lunch every year during the holidays followed by some fun cocktail experiences. After lunch we like to find fun spots for elevated cocktails in Dallas. The last couple of years we hit Isabelle's at the Hotel Swexan because it's one of the most beautiful spaces in Dallas. A nice bonus this year was learning they have a Martini cart available with table side service. @isabellesdallas @hotelswexan The bartender did a nice job making my Vesper Martini. They only use frozen bottles of gin or vodka depending on what Martini you order. Ice cold spirits are critical for a great Martini. The quality and service at Hotel Swexan is always excellent. They have multiple bars and restaurants to choose from including Stillwell's on the top floor. It's a high quality steakhouse with delicious cocktails. @stillwellsdallas Go check out Isabelle's, enjoy the beautiful space and the very fun Martini cart. SaluteVesper Martini3 oz. Gin1 oz.

I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem tucked just past the lobby of Hotel Swexan. Isabella's is a small but super charming spot, with a cozy lounge vibe that felt like we were sipping cocktails in chic living room. The staff were super attentive, and took great care of us. The drinks were also top-notch. The lemon drop martini was my favorite with the cosmo being not too far behind. A really small detail that really elevated the experience was the little touch of hors d'oeuvres chips, olives, and nuts that came with our cocktails. If you're looking for a relaxed, intimate place to unwind, especially during the winter months, I can't recommend Isabella's enough. It's the perfect spot to sip, chill, and enjoy great service. 10/10 will absolutely be back!

It is really a whole experience. It is a small quaint place. The area is small but elegant. The lounge setting is comfortable. The service was great and the servers were very attentive. The drinks were perfect and strong. We got the lemon drop,lychee and DD. The steak sandwich is flavorful and meaty. The Caesar salad was good, but needs more lemon and pepper. The breakfast plate was filling. The potato cake and chicken sausage a must try. I suggest big parties over 5 check out the other restaurants. It is perfect for a girls breakfast catch up and a small family meet up of 4. I will definitely be back. It is a really nice concept.

My food was great, but the service was honestly a little bad, which is a shame because this dish and ambiance was so nice. This restaurant just isn't capable of handling a party larger than two. Service was slow, our table was moved, and we had to repeat things multiple times before we actually got them. We were also definitely overcharged and did not receive an itemized bill. You'll be able to take some lovely photos, but I don't recommend coming here at all. There are other cute restaurants in Dallas with good food.

Wanted to drop by get something small to eat. Sat out side and no one came to help me after the hostess. Saw all the employees around the bar and just walked inside mentioned they seemed sooo busy and left. New spot maybe the employees are still training with communication. Won't come back and waste my time again. Inside is pretty quaint idk how anyone would've missed me especially after the hostess took my name and number down then sat me.

This place was not what I was expecting at all.Very small and a bit stuffy to me. I stopped by for after dinner cocktails and desserts on a whim. Service was a bit odd maybe because they were still new ish. We sat outside on their balcony/patio which was nice. Overall the expresso martinis and desserts were really good! I thoroughly enjoyed them. I would love to try their lunch/brunch.

Great location, the service was amazing, the staff was very attentive and caring. Would especially highlight the staff. The lobster salad was delicious and the stake was high quality and cooked well. The interior is pretty, brings you back to chick places that feel like home. Reminded me of King Cole in New York. I'll definitely come again.What could be improved:- menu selection is rather small, especially if you are looking for smth without bread - most mains have a lot of carbs (sandwiches, pasta)- i was seated in the middle of the room right before the shift change, and due to the shift change i had between 20 to 30 staff members passing by as they have the hotel back office behind the restaurant. Not a big deal, but was a bit distracting as I was working, a heads up would have been appreciated

I won the Fourth of July long weekend staycation discussion and almost won the how great was the Swexan debate until our brunch order arrived with the avocado toast on white bread and not on whole wheat bread like we had requested. Otherwise we loved the patio seating and enjoyed taking our time with the assortment of chef's choice pastries, vegetable crudités, and avocado toast. It was really almost the perfect breakfast after a long night of waiting for the baby to fall asleep. Why doesn't avocado toast default to whole wheat or multigrain bread? Because wellness at the Swexan is a trend and not a deeply held ethical life principle. Oh well.

If upscale relaxation, supreme decor, and amazing cocktails are what your day call for; Isabelle's is your place. From valet, to the friendly front desk staff, the European boutique hotel ambiance of Hotel Swexan will enchant you, and your guest. Great to know you don't have to be a guest staying with Swexan to treat yourself to an enjoyable time at Isabelle's, however the experience is even nicer if you do. From breakfast, to the evening bar menu, you'll find the perfect accompaniments for your beverages of choice, thanks to the well stocked bar, management's attention to detail and unmatched excellence. Open daily, Isabelle's closes a little earlier during the week, so plan accordingly. Can't wait to share time with you at Isabelle's ! Xoxo Lorenzo!

The drinks were great and the vibes were too. The Christmas decor made for great photo ops!
