Reviews
The décor is colorful and warm, with Spanish-inspired art.
On this brisk cold afternoon there was also a cozy brick fireplace in full working mode located in the back of the main dining area that adds to the charm.
Our server was excellent—friendly, organized, and very mindful of our need to finish in time for the show. She handled separate checks, kept drinks filled, and made sure everything ran smoothly.
The food was the highlight. We ordered full brunch meals, and everyone enjoyed their dishes. The house-made chorizo, flavorful sauces, and Eggs Benedict (with the option of a fresh biscuit instead of an English muffin) were especially good.
Overall, we had a great experience. The menu is large, the atmosphere is inviting, and we’d happily return the next time we’re in Frederick.
The service is consistently phenomenal. The staff are quick, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to interact with. The atmosphere is cozy, dark, and a little flirty — with rich colors, leather booths, warm wood accents, and bold glassware. My favorite spot has always been near the fireplace; it adds the perfect touch of comfort and charm.
As for the food, everything is designed tapas-style — smaller plates made to share, so you can experience a variety of flavors. On our last visit, we ordered the chicken skewers with apricot sauce, the manchego frito (fried manchego layered with fig jam, a thin slice of pear, and a crisp piece of baguette), and the cocoa-dusted filet — cooked perfectly medium and bursting with subtle, rich flavor.
To pair with our meal, we enjoyed bubbly, elderflower cocktails, and a seasonal margarita — all beautifully crafted and balanced.
Isabella’s offers a dining experience that’s warm, inviting, and endlessly satisfying. With such a diverse and delicious menu, one visit simply isn’t enough — you’ll find yourself coming back again and again.
After being sat down by the hostess, our waitress Pepper (amazing all around) brought over some drinks and gave us a minute to order. We ended up getting:
– Queso al Horno
baked brie / toasted bread / almonds / port wine reduction / orange
– Papas Bravas
fried potatoes / bravas sauce / garlic aioli
– Empanadas
ground beef / potato / cilantro / chili aioli / manchego cheese / pickled onions
– Chorizo
house-made Spanish sausage / mashed potatoes
– Taza de Crema de Chocolate
chocolate pot de creme / Spanish hot chocolate / fresh strawberries
Everything was outstanding and came out pretty soon after we ordered. The homemade chorizo was so good, and I have to say that the taza de crema was one of the BEST desserts I’ve ever had. Definitely plan on getting one of your own.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience here at Isabella’s! Can’t wait to visit again!
Menu reminded me of tapas bars in Barcelona so tried a few items and a some good wine. The dishes came out quick and they were all excellent. The service was outstanding and the prices reasonable. It is indeed authentic tapas!
The fried asparagus, prosciutto e melone and sangria stood out the most!
Interior is a little vintage-ish which is cute and the servers are attentive and friendly!!
The only drawback is that we don’t live close enough to visit every week :s
