    Decadence wrapped in great service, great ambiance, and high quality food that I find to be unmatched. If my queen is happy, I am happy.

    Trendy, cute super trendy, pretty, vibrant spot great for Fridays and Saturdays gatherings! It's usually crowded so would definitely need to make a reservation, however, you can chill in the bar (they have 2 inside bars) or by the stairs while waiting. Cocktails are a piece of art! I had cactus and it was absolutely amazing! Atmosphere is very nice and even feels slightly private, even though place is super crowded (probably table that are far-ish from each other help). Food was delicious- from appetizers like fries and Brussels sprouts to hand cut rigatoni and chicken snitzel! Work of art. The only thing that was slightly annoying was that waiters were trying to make us pay before we haven't even finished our courses and drinks yet, it felt a little rude, but we all gotta do what we gotta do. Overall- worth coming and hanging!

    Had a wonderful experience at Ysabel. Group of us made same day reservation around 6 pm and it was empty. The ambiance is beautiful, I love the lights on the trees! The food was fantastic. Each dish was made to perfection no notes. The drinks were equally as delicious. Our waiter knew the menu and had some great recommendations for the table. Would absolutely come back for date night if I'm in the area.

    I was having trouble finding a birthday dine spot, and I came across this beautiful gem. From start to finish I've got to say it was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in awhile. The server was super knowledgeable and broke down the menu as first timers, I ordered the miso salmon and my boyfriend had their vodka pasta with chicken. We both were in awe of these two plates, the miso salmon was packed with flavor and paired so well with their "black forbidden rice." The vodka pasta had the perfect kick to it. Our drinks were delicious! I ordered the something about cherry drink, which was a vodka based cocktail (not my usual) , but I wanted to try something other than a margarita. Thank you to the Ysabel team for making my birthday dinner so special, they even add a birthday card along with your dessert! Now moving onto the ambiance, it was one of the most beautiful, most intimate/romantic restaurants I've been to in awhile. I loved that they had trees with lights in the restaurant, and roses hanging from the trees. The iconic steps make for great Instagram pictures!

    This a hidden gem in Weho. It's great for a date night. We went on a Tuesday night so the service was quick. They have plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The portion sizes are shareable.

    I came here for a date night, and the atmosphere was really nice. The food was good too, and overall we had a great experience. I'd say it's definitely worth visiting at least once.

    This place was amazing. We went for an anniversary and the vibe was very much romantic/moody garden. Ambiance is on point, but more importantly, the food was SO good. Like I'm still dreaming about it, man. * Kimchi Brussel Sprouts: perfect balance of flavors. I'm a kimchi fanatic but if it isn't your vibe, I don't think the kimchi flavor was very strong or apparent. * Lemon spaghetti: our server asked us if we wanted burrata with it. The answer will always be yes. It was SO good. My favorite dish. So simple but so flavorful at the same time. * Artichoke tortellini: this dish was so unique. The presentation was gorgeous. Idk what was in the sauce but it was like Crack. * Roasted corn: if you like esquites, you will love this. * Chocolate cake & ice cream: the ice was lovely but the cake was average. Still enjoyed it but it was not the standout of the meal. Our server was so nice and attentive. I wish I could remember her name but she had an Aussie accent (I think) and looked like/reminded me of Margot Robbie thanks for the lovely experience!

    Oh. My. Gosh. This may be my new favorite restaurant in LA. I feel like I've seen this place all over my feed but thought it was just going to be an aesthetic place with mid food. no. The food was insane. My chicken Milanese was quite literally the best thing I have ever ate. It was super crispy and had like dates to make sweet but lemony greens to make it sour and omg I could go on and on about how great it was. And the vibes were just cherry on top like I am already thinking of when I can go back.

    Hand Cut Rigatoni
    Jamie W.

    Ysabel is a cute restaurant with an outdoor upscale vibe. I shared the rigatoni and lemon pasta with my friend, and both pastas tasted fresh and had good sauces. As an appetizer we got the spicy tuna tartar, which is served on crispy rice. Wasn't the best I've had and was kind of pricy, but was solid. For my friend's birthday, they were able to put together a small dessert which was molten chocolate cake with ice cream. They have a lot of staff that were attentive to our table. This included people designated to refilling waters, which was needed several times because their water glasses were so small. One small comment I would have is that their metal chairs were uncomfortable for dining for close to 2 hours, and we would have much preferred another seating option.

    Came here for a birthday dinner and left kind of disappointed. Didn't know what to expect here but with all the good reviews, I was expecting something but received nothing. They offer valet parking! Food was good, but in a city like LA, nothing really stood out to me. Presentation of the food was real pretty though! The ambiance and vibes were stunning and beautiful with plenty of seats. There's an outdoor and indoor seating, which we opted for outdoors. It was nighttime so lights were very, very, very dim. Service was okay, we did sit there for a while before anyone took our order. This place is a solid 2.2/5.

    I went here to celebrate my birthday and it was cute! Inside is loud but intimate. I got the hand cut rigatoni which was great and generous and delicious perfectly cooked and tasty! However the drink was not as good! It was horrible i forgot the name but it is pictured and it was a rum with some pineapple fruit. Not so tasty! Lastly, we also got a complimentary dessert for our birthday celebration which was sweet of them!

    Miso salmon

    A great experience to ring in my daughter's 21st bday. Our waitress went above and beyond, I believe her name was Emily. She made the experience wonderful. I had the cut rigatoni which was delicious. I believe the steak was also delicious and the drinks were strong but in a good way. Overall, I would def be returning.

    Lemon Pasta
    Hdez V.

    After exploring a few options, my friends and I decided to dine at Ysabel for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, the experience didn't start off well. Upon arrival, our group of five stood waiting several minutes without being greeted. Eventually, I had to ask a passing staff member how we could get seated. The host who finally helped us was not particularly welcoming -- we felt judged, which immediately set the wrong tone for the evening. Thankfully, our server (ginger/red hair) turned the experience around a bit. She was lovely and kind -- as were the staff who brought out our food. We ordered the lemon pasta and rigatoni. The lemon pasta was a 10/10 -- creamy, bright, and perfectly balanced with the right amount of lemon. The rigatoni was an 8/10, rich and flavorful. The cocktails were also beautifully crafted -- the Daisy & She's the Cherry (10/10). However, after finishing our meal and paying, we stopped by the exit to take some pictures together. The hosts appeared visibly bothered and stood behind the host stand whispering and staring at us, which felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. Overall, while the food and drinks were excellent, the lack of warmth and professionalism from the front-of-house staff really took away from what could've been a great dining experience. I won't be returning or recommending this location.

    Are they currently open for brunch hour on the weekends or not ? little confused about the operating hours.

    Ysabel no longer has brunch service!

    Can you ask for virgin drinks/ non alcoholic drinks?

    Absolutely! There's lots of options for non alcoholic drinks.

    I'm allergic to eggs and nuts - is the pasta made with eggs and is there anything with nuts?

    Some of the pastas are made with egg (the lobster ravioli and the tagliatelle) but the rigatoni never has egg and the lemon pasta can easily be made without cured egg yolk shavings. In terms of nuts, there are a few things that contain almonds on… Read more

    Do we need a reservation for brunch on Sunday?

    It doesn't hurt. You can be a walk up, but make sure you're a small group of 4 or less- two is golden. We've done it plenty of times with spur of the moment brunches

    Do you allow children in the restaurant on evenings?

    Im not sure

    Are they still open for business? If so, did their phone number change?

    Are kids allowed?

    Yes they do

    Do they serve beer?

    Yes

    Do they offer takeout?

    Yes they do!

    If a group of 3 just want to go for drinks at 8:30pm on a Saturday (no dinner), is reservation required? No one is picking up the phone at the establishment.

    You'll still need a reservation. Just keep calling because they will eventually pick up! It happened to be as well. So just keep trying(:

    Can someone tell me how to get a hold of this place? i made a reservation for this weekend and i want to double check it went through but i cannot get through to their phones.

    If you reserved on open table then your confirmation will be there.

    Is ysabel open? I set a reservation and no one is answering the phones

    Yes. They've been open. Doors open @ 6:00pm. You prob won't get an answer until closer to that time. I'm a fan of this place. Sexy ambience + great food + cocktails

    Are they open for lunch on Sunday at 12 pm?

    I believe they just opened for brunch so you should be able to get a table at that time.

    Are the tables outside properly social distanced?

    Yes they are, some table has only two seats and some with four

    Parking? Street or valet? Both? How much is valet?

    There are meters on the street, but very few. Valet is $8 + tip

The restaurant is beautiful and reminds me of being in Mexico. A Spanish theme and style. A lot of seating and it's also spacious with an outdoor patio that is open to the customers and also widely used for many event. Everything was clean from what I noticed. The music volume was tolerable as well as the selection of choice. Felt like I was on vacation for a min. A great spot to have drinks. A great to spot to meet up or even come for a date. The Melrose Mule was cool. Very refreshing like the bartender mentioned. It was different than the usual mules I get. And the Improved Whiskey was like having an Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour together. It did not disappoint. I also had an attentive bartender who had a good attitude. Didn't take long for him to make my drinks nor put in an order for a smash burger. The smash burger was acceptable. It was good, however, I was expecting something a little bit bigger in size. I like the presentation with it being wrapped in foil. It was cooked perfectly, it was hot and flavorful. No complaints other than the size. I wouldn't mind pulling back up for another happy hour when I'm back in the area. They have some more drinks I would love to try.

However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.
