I cannot give this restaurant enough kudos! The views were stunning! The food and drinks were top notch and the service was impeccable!

It was a busy evening and we were able to get seated right away on a Wednesday evening. We had great service from Timothy. Our group of 4.5 had a 3 year old and he was quick to bring him his drink and food first. The pizza and cocktails were superb. One of the best specialty pizzas I have ever had. It was a 5 star experience for us. Thank you!! read more

The restaurant has a warm atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The lighting and music create an easy, relaxed mood. The staff are friendly, attentive, and professional. Service runs smoothly even during busy hours, and every order arrives quickly and exactly as asked. The food remains excellent, and the team's energy keeps the place lively. The only drawback is the new uniforms. They look less polished and don't fit the restaurant's classic style. The old uniforms gave a more cohesive and elegant impression, while the new ones feel out of sync with the overall vibe especially it being on a golf course. Still, the experience is positive. The great service and inviting setting make it worth returning. The uniform change doesn't outweigh everything the team does right. read more

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. read more

Loved the energy of this restaurant and found the layout of the patio to be one of the best around. We sat out on the couch area but those rocking chairs also looked like a great place to just watch the sunset and grab a cocktail. We just had dessert because it was a last minute stop on our way home from dinner but we definitely will be trying dinner soon. Mostly pizza & pasta but a few other options too. We ordered the key lime pie which came with a huge scoop of raspberry gelato. Loved the gelato but we only could finish about 1/2. Our server was super sweet and very efficient given how busy they were. Great grassy area that the kids were having a blast on. Great way to end our date night & so glad we stopped in! read more

The atmosphere is fantastic! The food and the service is great too. I love bringing friends here! They always love it and I always have such a great time! The outside patio is the best place to sit! read more

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! read more

The spicy jalapeño nachos are yummy. The service is mediocre. The ambience is so nice. The food menu needs expansion.

Cute spot right on the golf course. We enjoyed their bruschetta ,some wings and the meatballs. The meatballs do not come with marinara and were a bit dry. read more

Upside: This is an amazing location, atmosphere, and vibe on a sunny and warm AZ day. Downside: The service and food are inconsistent. ‍

It has been a few years since I have visited Isabella's and the food, exactly as I remember, is still creative and delicious. The service, exactly as I remember, is why I tend to steer clear of North Scottsdale. The Bruschetta was on point. Many different flavors and tastes that paired perfectly. The entrees were good as well, fresh pasta lasagne and a nice chicken piccata with capers that I love. The servers are quintessentially Scottsdale. Much more interested in themselves and likely their appearance, than in helping my Mom with the heater.. how about a smile? Still a nice lunch outside but I'll wait untill it's a bit warmer for the next visit. read more

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! read more

I had heard about this place for a while, but it was hard to get a reservation in the Spring, and it's a long drive for us from Tempe, so I wanted to make sure we could get in. Planning almost a week in advance, we reserved an outdoor table and it was ready and waiting when we arrived. Our server came over right away and took drink orders. I don't remember her name, but she was very good. She checked in just the right number of times and at the right times. We decided to get a meat and cheese board (it really needs more bread than they give you, so we ordered more) and some salads and bruschetta to share, so we still had room for the gorgeous chocolate chip cookie desert. It worked out great - we grazed on our food for over an hour while watching kids running and playing on the grass, and admiring the mountain view (sorry no pics of that :)). The the fabulous dessert came out and we put away most of it. I did see another table enjoying the key lime pie and berry sorbet - so that may be our dessert next time. All in all, good food and service and a great outdoor seating option with views. I think I will add this to the list of places to take out of town company. read more

This place is cool- really like the ambiance. Lots of awesome indoor/outdoor seating options. Depending on the area of the restaurant it can be more of a sports restaurant vibe, or outdoors with a beautiful view. They only take reservations for parties 4 or less, but we did not have an issue getting a table at 6 for 6 people on a Tuesday evening. Food was all around good. Sandwiches were a hit. So were the brussel spout app and the fish taco bowl. A bit on the pricey side for what you get. We had one order of a pizza where the crust was a little soggy. But all in all mostly good orders. Friendly and attentive waitress. Plenty of free parking. Overall would recommend. read more

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. read more

Food was amazing. Their sweet and spicy pizza was to die for. It was clean, inviting, and welcoming. Service was fast and correct but the waitress who rolled her eyes should not be employed. We asked to have a bill split and after acting incompetent and rolling her eyes, it got split. Then finding out she flipped tables a few weeks ago and was fired but is somehow back... what is happening haha. Had there been a different server, this would have been 5stars easily. read more

Disappointing Service Despite Good Food From the moment we arrived, the staff at Isabella's Kitchen gave off a cold, unwelcoming vibe. Though the restaurant wasn't busy and we were seated quickly, the brunette hostess acted as if escorting us to our table was a burden. Our server, Emma, brought water after a noticeable wait and quickly left before we could place our appetizer order. When she returned about 10 minutes later and we requested to start with an appetizer, she seemed irritated. Throughout the meal, service remained inattentive--I had to flag down a different server just to get a missing place setting. To their credit, the entrees were nicely presented and tasted good. Unfortunately, the poor service overshadowed the food. We boxed up our meals and left as quickly as we could. This didn't feel like a one-off bad shift--it felt like a lack of service culture altogether. I wouldn't recommend Isabella's Kitchen to friends or out-of-town guests. read more

Isabella's is a nice, relaxing place to grab a drink or a light lunch while sitting outside with a view of the gorgeous golf course. This isn't your typical hot-dog and beer sort of golf restaurant. There's an extensive menu, with salads, fancy pizzas, and a variety of appetizers. Our group split the chips and salsa with guac (nothing special but always tasty!), crispy brussel sprouts (would recommend), and italian olive mixture (with some of the biggest olives we've ever seen). If you're not in the mood for an alcoholic drink, bottomless iced tea is a great choice. I was a fan of my entree, Isabella's House Salad, which included some fun ingredients (salami, pepperoncinis). I added grilled salmon for $9, which resulted in a $24 lunch salad. I'm not sure the salad was worth $24, but you pay a little more for the atmosphere and views. Not a place that I'd drive 30 minutes to visit for the food, but if you live in the area and are looking for a nice patio to grab drinks or a casual lunch on a course, Isabella's is a great choice. read more

We loved going in for a good lunch, some drinks and the employees are always so great but today was different. Yes the food and drink and employees were still great but the atmosphere has changed. We walked in and the place had such a sterile feel to it. It now feels like a hotel bar with their new "new uniforms" the fun part of Izzy's was the laid back casual feel. The new look doesn't make us want to stay long. Overall the new look doesn't fit what Izzy's has always been which is the local golf bar hang out. read more

Isabella's is great for sitting next to golf course, enjoying a cocktail and relaxation. The charcuterie is one of the best and the ambiance amazing. read more

Three of us had different items - Quinoa salad, bruschetta (3 different) & fish taco salad. Taco salad - ok Quinoa salad - lacking taste & dry Bruschetta - bread was cut too thick - toppings no flavor. The server was nice - read more

I'd recommend Isabella's for a fun dinner out, but what we ordered were hits and misses. My husband and I went without a reservation on a Sunday night and we got a spot at the communal table (where you can sit if you find space). Hits: Kale salad Meatballs appetizer Misses: Whiskey drink that husband got (he said it wasn't worth finishing after just a sip) Veggie pizza with sausage and pepperoni (it was fine. A little bit better than Pizza Hut). It's a good place to bring visitors if you sit outside with a reservation, since it's on a golf course and the ambiance is fun and lively. The food is a gamble. read more

I've always loved Isabella's -- the food, the vibe, the staff. It's been one of my go-to spots for a reason. But the recent change in staff attire really threw me off. I honestly feel like I'm walking into an Applebees at this point read more

We love this restaurant and especially the service at the bar! The bartenders are friendly and efficient! Very personable but still professional! Food is good and the new menu is a great change from the previous one! Our only negative is the hosts! They always seem annoyed when people walk in! Today when we left there were 3 standing at the host stand looking bored, chatting amongst themselves, looking at their phones, and giving no recognition of patrons leaving. These are the 1st faces people see when they walk into the restaurant and they do not show a good look! This is something we have noticed each time we visit! Definitely a negative! read more

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. read more

We really enjoyed this place. First off the atmosphere is cool and with AZ weather it's the perfect spot to sit outside. The spicy Paloma drinks were fabulous. All of the food we ate was tasty as well. I may or may not have had multiple spicy Palomas so the deets are a tad fuzzy. I do know the service was excellent as well though! read more

Great outdoor patio. There is no happy hour. The service is not great. Very slow. The food is just okay. The real problem is the place is overrun with little kids 5 years old and under. It's as if the parents use the place as an after day care or school. Lots of screaming and crying and running around. No what I consider a relaxing sunset bar. With 100+ restaurants in North Scottsdale I would look elsewhere. read more

Isabella's kitchen is hands down my favorite patio in scottsdale. It's an absolutely stunning scene on the golf course with Mountain View's. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The gm is the best! Isabella's is really great for large parties, celebrations or date nights. It's also extremely kid friendly with a large grass area for kids to play. The pizza's are off the charts amazing! read more

This is not the Isabella's it used to be. A 15 year olds birthday party, prime time, during the weekend? The wait staff, running mad, trying to figure out who is waiting on who? I don't know how they could possibly keep good servers amongst the chaos. Truly an overrated establishment w a limited menu. It's definitely only meant for a nice sunset and view...even w the power line obstruction. read more

This was a great place my friends took me too before and that I just 'found' again. I had a delicious sandwich sitting at the bar and had the great company of the charming Emily, who was a great bartender. The view of the Valley and, the mountains, in the background, and the award winning golf course. Should ake this a place to must on anyone's list. read more

Sunsets are crazy! It's a fun place that has multiple feelings of dining, indoor, outdoor, bar, no bar. I love the bottle trees and the bottle Chandelier. Brittney took care of us tonight and I had a beer, super fun. I WOULD RECOMMEND. read more

We were excited to finally dine here after a long time, but unfortunately the service was disappointing. Our server happily chatted with all the nearby tables, yet rarely came to ours--not even to take the order, bring water, or offer napkins and plates. We waited a long time for each request and often had to ask other servers for help. We also happened to be the only non-white guests around us, which made the experience feel even more uncomfortable. When the check finally arrived, we waited about 15 minutes with no one returning, and eventually had to walk to the front to pay. read more

Beautiful and scenic outdoor patio with amazing views of the the mountain. Server was attentive and friendly. Came for happy hour, but prices on the foods and drinks were still overpriced with maybe $1 off. Food lacks flavor. Inside dining was very crowded, no social distancing being adhere. No masks wore by any staff members. read more

Isabella's used to be a great place to grab a drink and enjoy the ambiance. Food has always been fresh and enjoyable. Lately the aspect of service has gone down the drain. Seems to have some servers who just don't know what they are doing, and new manager who sags his pants and very unpleasant. I will give it another shot ( food and the view is incredible). read more

We celebrated my mom's bday here. She had been trying to get us to go here for a while. I am a pretty big review person so when I read them, they didn't look good. We had no choice since this is the place she had picked. I have to say... everything was great! The service was good, the food was good, there was nothing I could complain about. Look forward to coming back! read more

Had a lovely evening w a large group of friends (15 of us). They were very accommodating and service was good. The kale and quinoa salad was really good! I added salmon that was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The chicken wings were 7 out of 10. We went with the dry rub with wing sauce on the side. The oil may have been just a little old is why the 7/10. Otherwise they were cooked perfectly and had a light flavor w the dry rub that went well with the buffalo sauce. The crispy chicken sandwich was just so so. Nothing to rave about. Others had pizza that they really enjoyed and the roast beef sandwich that was a little heavy on the bread. I'm a proponent of proper bread to meat to veggie balance. It was a cool night and the outdoor fireplace and heat lamps took care of us. All in all a good adventure. read more

Here's another cool place to visit to have a beer, some food and to enjoy the natural and artificial beauty that Arizona has to offer! This establishment is situated at the edge of a golf course. The place has a natural and open-air feel to it with large open windows facing the golf green, with a combination of old Native-American and old Spanish architectures abound. You totally feel relaxed here -- given the laid-back atmosphere. The service was friendly, accommodating and attentive. I highly recommend this place! read more

Went there and got the chicken Alfredo. The noodles were super tough/under cooked. The sauce itself was flavorless and grainy. The chicken was flavorless and got a chewy/underdone piece. Overall the food was super underwhelming for the money spent. Even our appetizer of calamari was slightly stale and not crunchy at all. read more
