My wife and I went with two of our friends who wanted to treat us to dinner to celebrate her birthday. While we were waiting for them, I ordered a scotch neat($10)- one sip and I could tell it was watered down. Then came dinner and the portions were ridiculously miniscule. The salad was not even large enough for one mouthful. One dish was supposed to have rainbow chard as an accompaniment-I glimpsed a tiny one inch long twig(stem) that may have been a part of a chard! Two tiny lamb chops advertised as rack of lamb. The dessert was what seemed like peanut brittle(tiny again) but with a different nut. To add insult to injury, at the end of the meal the waitress inquired if our stomachs were full! I suppressed a caustic comment but I guess my face said it all!\r
I have traveled and dined all over the world, particularly France. It is only in the US that clip joints like Isabela's define continental cuisine to mean miniscule portions. Needless to say, we will never go there again!
Pros: View of Pittsburgh
Cons: Miniscule portions, deceptive labeling, watered down drinks
