    Came back on Sunday morning to give Isabelle's one more chance. Marylyn helped us and completely changed the experience. She got us set up with the right coffee, the right drinks, and made sure we were taken care of before we went to minister. She was genuinely friendly and attentive. That kind of recovery matters. Based on what they did Sunday morning, I am giving them five stars.

    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!

    This place just feels perfect for the holidays! Thanks to Omar for the great service!

    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.

    javier made this visit phenomenal! pinnacle of service. he took time to talk with my group, accommodated us bringing a birthday cake, got us food before the kitchen closed, and took us for a tour/peak of the speakeasy even though it wasn't open this night. the bar itself was a cozy library style lounge and decorated beautifully for christmas. from the valet guys out front to javi's devotion, we were treated so well from start to finish.

    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.

    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.

    Salad and steak

    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.

    Espresso martinis with tequila

    Came to Isabelle's spontaneously on a date night after visiting Babou's downstairs. I really enjoyed my time here! Isabelle's is mainly a martini bar but have a full bar at hand. We ordered espresso martinis with tequila and they tasted like ice cream - so well done. You're even served a set of 3 free snacks: salty potato chips, assortment of nuts and olives. The vibe is upscale, the aesthetic is very Bridgerton/high tea, and the hostess' are very kind and beautiful. Definitely will be back!

    The perfect place for your amazing photos!

    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!

We had breakfast in the hotel and our server was helpful, friendly and had a sense of humor. We visited the pool and were surprised that it was not heated. The hotel gym was decent, could use a better (newer) bench but it had the basics. Our room had everything we needed (the bed was quite soft) and a great view of the eye across the street. My first shower would only get warm and not hot so maintenance had to come up and show me a safely button to push which allows the water to get hot. This was after texting with hotel staff (a very helpful option) but surprising that they didn't just tell me about the button and chose to send maintenance. We were in room 852 on the North side of the hotel and overlooking the eye. We came back from dinner around 10 on Saturday night and were kept awake until about 1:30am. I guess Main St is where people choose to drive their cars with the music so loud it feels as though it's in your hotel room. The motorcycles and cars also like to rev their engines.... A LOT. The windows appear to be single pane and they don't keep any noise out at all. Due to the noise level, I would not recommend staying at this hotel.  Being on the 8th floor and feeling like I was in the cars that were driving on main st and blaring music 2 nights in a row was incredibly disappointing.  If this was a 2 star hotel, okay.  That is not the case.  Upgrade the windows to double or triple pane.  Your location is great, service was friendly and efficient, but one generally wants to sleep at night and that is not possible at your hotel. We even asked the front desk on our second morning if we should change rooms and were told Sunday nights were quiet. I should have listened to my gut as our Sunday night was not quiet. Although the amount of cars & motorcycles wasn't as much as on Saturday, we still heard several cars with music blaring or motorcycles reviving their engines until around 1am. This was the beginning of a long overdue vacation and birthday celebration and it did not get started on the right foot unfortunately.

We were amazed at how much space there is. The back room got pretty tight when we first arrived since there was a group of 12 there already....they had taken over the tall tables in the middle and the couch.

Best decision ever From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with so much enthusiasm and seated right away by the window --although I was a little unsure about staying there since it was already cold outside . While we were deciding, someone immediately checked in to make sure we were okay (love that ). That's when the very kind gentleman--who we later learned was Victor Hugo--let us know another table would be clearing shortly so we could move. Top-tier service already For appetizers, we went with the brisket balls, duck taquitos, and a pitcher of pineapple mimosas . Let me tell you... those duck taquitos were SO good That crema?? EVERYTHING. The brisket balls instantly took us back to Turks & Caicos --IFYKYK We also tried the quesadilla, and once again--another hit . So good that we ended up ordering another round of the brisket balls because why not? Shoutout to Sayde and Maria, who were absolutely amazing . Tequila shots were flowing , and we were convinced to order pecan pie with ice cream for dessert . I do wish the dessert had been complimentary, and the pie would've been a solid 10/10 if it were warm--but still appreciated. Takeaway: Bucket & Rope does food right , and Victor and his team truly make you feel like family . We'll definitely be back--especially for those half-price apps during the week

    Came for brunch and what a wonderful time was had!…read more We grabbed a spot on the patio and Johnna was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and gave some great suggestions. We started off with a pitcher of mimosa and the duck taquitos. I'm usually not a fan duck however I was told to give it a try. If you hadn't told me it was duck, I probably would have thought it was chicken. The mimosa was a build your own, it came with 3 juices - orange, pineapple and cranberry - and you got to pour as much or as little juice as you wanted. Between the two of us, we each got about 3 glasses. I got the French toast, which tasted like a deep fried donut, in a good way. The outside was crunchy, the inside still had the pillow custard texture. However in my opinion it needed more of the apple pecan slaw especially if you weren't trying to drown them in syrup. My friend had the chilequillas which she really enjoyed but did mention a few times that it was a little spicy. We ended the meal with dessert which was rich and luscious but oh so delicious. It was a cholesterol mouse that was covered in a hazelnut chocolate shell with a raspberry sauce. Overall a great time was had & I'd gladly go back to try more.

For appetizers, I ordered the deviled eggs and the fried salmon bites, and both were absolutely amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and cooked just right. For my entrée, I clearly came hungry because I ordered both the jerk chicken with greens, smoked turkey, and mac and cheese, plus the catfish and spaghetti after our amazing waitress Justice highly recommended it. Let me just say, she did not miss. Everything was seasoned well, hot, and worth every bite. For drinks, I had the blackberry margarita and the tequila old fashioned. Both were strong, smooth, and definitely only for those who either walked there or took an Uber! Justice made the entire experience even better with her recommendations, attentiveness, and great energy. Overall, Kitchen + Kocktails is still amazing. Great food, strong drinks, and excellent service. I'm happy I gave it another visit because they absolutely delivered. Easy 5 stars!
