    It was a birthday celebration dinner, so we were all primed to have a great experience and we were NOT disappointed. Kristen did her best but it appeared she was the only server when we arrived — which was fine when we first arrived but as the restaurant began to fill up it tended to lend a slower pace to the evening. The food and beverages were stellar and beautifully prepared and presented. The grilled artichokes were excellent. Be sure to ask for the entrees in the secret menu — the chicken cutlet and spaghetti with meat sauce did not disappoint. The halibut was spectacular— the lemon accent was just the right touch. We dine out once a month and Restaurant Claudine will definitely be in the rotation. Thank you for making tonite so enjoyable.

    Superb amd fun. Every dish was a surprise and delicious. Service was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The savory buttermilk pie was accompanied by a crunchy green salad that complemented the creamy pie. Our red snapper tartare was a perfect medley of flavor and texture. The Wagyu strip loin was rich, well marbled and perfectly cooked, then sliced and served in bitesize strips. All in all, a very successful first time at Isidore in a happy, high energy atmosphere.

    We celebrated two birthdays, and Paul made our experience the best!! Paul was so friendly, the best host/server. We each ordered a different meal and they were all delicious.  And you can’t go wrong with the location, the Emma Hotel on the Riverwalk! Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

    We had such a great experience the first night of our stay that we cancelled the dinner reservations we scheduled earlier. We travel and eat out often and we love the ambience, the music, the cocktails and the food is over the top. The eggs Benedict for breakfast was excellent. Most of the menu items are handcrafted! We had 4 different servers at 4 different meals and they were all great! They were friendly and very knowledgeable not to mention highly professional. FABULOUS !
