What User likes about Isabella's:
Fabulous menu and great staff, we were part of a golf group and the staff looked after us royally. The specials menu was everything that it promised. Good value too. View all feedback. What Nic Johnson doesn't like about Isabella's:
Very disappointing. 17:30 booking and already low on menu items. Tough duck, tough lamb, slow service and excuses.... sometimes the meat is just like that I 'm sorry but you (as the owner) or your chef should understand the quality of your produce and be sure its of 'food award ' standard before getting to table. A restaurant that has a nice atmosphere bit seems a but samey. Service: Dine in View all feedback.

Great menu variety friendly staff and fabulous food. Really enjoyed the whole experience many thanks to you all for a fantastic evening

Isabella’s in Porthcawl has received mixed reviews from customers. While some enjoyed the excellent food, service, and atmosphere, others were disappointed by the lackluster service and rushed feeling during their dining experience. The set lunch menu was noted to be basic, and some diners were unimpressed with the quality of the food, particularly the steak. However, many patrons were satisfied with the value of the set menu, recommending Isabella’s for its affordable options. The restaurant has won awards for its food quality and customer service, making it a popular choice among locals and visitors to South Wales.
