Isabella's Kitchen

We've been coming here for years. It's always a fun place to bring out of town guests because the views are gorgeous and it's a great vibe. The food is pricey and you'll need a reservation if you want to sit down and eat but it's quintessential Scottsdale with the view of the golf course and mountains. The grilled fish bowl, bruschetta, and pizzas are some of our favorites. The service is hit or miss but it's always so busy I can't really fault them for that. Sitting outside to catch the sunset is a must do!

We got our table today and a $120 ticket. Not a big deal until we put it in context. At 3:30 the manager (??? Random young 20s girl in short mini skirt) started hovering by our table awkwardly and then asked us if we had been informed about the reservation that was upcoming at 4:00 pm. It was 3:30 pm. We had not been notified about the reservation. She asked us to be out of the table by 3:50 pm and that they would relocate us inside. I was honestly appalled that she did not suggest moving us to any other table in the same class as ours or offering to comp any part of our meal. I was calm but firm and told her "this was incredibly unprofessional and off putting and makes us not want to come back to the restaurant and that we needed time to discuss." She then went off and came up with a solution on her own moving tables and didn't not once consider coming back to close the loop on the resolution and path forward.The other party did not show up on time and we were out of the table by 4:00 pm. This kind of shows the lack of any operations management at the place. They literally could have not rocked the boat and we would have had the table ready anyways. Also this lady literally avoided all eye contact with us and did not converse as we walked out of the restaurant in front of her. I think they could have navigated the whole situation better without this employee. Sounds like a classic case of management sharing metrics that then informs behaviors that lose sight of what's really important. Super bizarre offputting experience. Used to love this place until they pissed me off enough to write a review

No denying it's beautiful setting but for this caliber of restaurant you'd expect the food quality to match. Got chips and salsa, chicken chop salad, and calamari app. Nothing was bad but nothing was special. Lacking flavor. Maybe another dish would've been better. Views of the restaurant may be why they get away with average quality food.

Lovely garden area with casual, yet inspiring lighting. Their menu was great to select from but my personal showstopper was the tiramisu! The servers did a great job with our large group and the establishment was very clean. Come with your friends or family for a semi-formal night out! -AT

We were served by an amazing young lady, named Sophie. Sophie was very gracious, friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. She suggested some drinks for us, and took care of us from start to finish. My first drink, which was a skinny mango margarita, which was served spicy, was great too. Thank you Sophie! The ambiance was great as well. I took a video of where we sat at the patio that overlooked the Grayhawk golf course, it was just stunning to be amongst this well curated desert beauty. Food was great too. I ordered a choice of 3 different bruschetta, and my husband ordered "The Butcher" pizza.

Great ambiance and views overlooking the golf course. You can dress pretty casual here; there are also a lot of folks in golf attire. Sunday evenings it's not busy and you can really take in all the views without worrying about finding a seat.

The only good thing about this place was the salmon entree. The margaritas here are awful. The calamari lacked flavor. Noodles were under cooked. The service was 10% tip quality. Our server lacked communication on up-charge for things you wouldn't expect an up-charge on. And they take forever to service you on anything. The restaurant wasnt even busy because it was a rainy day. A let down for the area.

Love the vibe and service was amazing! Late night burger was delicious and cooked perfect. Islander Pizza was good and the Bruschetta was delicious. Dessert was the Pizza cookie.... Unreal... so good!

I'd never been here and came here to experience the atmosphere and the food. We were seated right away in a corner nestled way in the back. We were able to see all the happenings going on at the bar and the open area in front of us. It was a nice spot to people watch. we ordered the barbecue sliders and the calamari which was just enough to fill us up for a nice late night snack. There was loud music playing overhead and lots of people having a great time. Loved the vibe and will be back!

This place had mid service and gave me a heart attack idk 1 star shit was mad greasy.
