I had a very quick business lunch here before heading back to the airport. We were a large group and we were in a haste yet we had a very good experience both in terms of meals and service. Our menu was preset, so we...did not have to wait. The service speed was very in line with our timing needs and all staff was very attentive despite the time limitations. The seafood based menu we had was delicious. The dessert choices were very satisfactory as well. We sat outside as it was a very warm March day and the outdoor section looking into the lake was very nice. Indoor part’s decoration was luxurious. As I was invited to this lunch, I have no idea about prices but I can say it was a very nice experience and can recommend this restaurant for special occasionsMore

I had lunch at this restaurant with a friend in May. I've been here in the past years but this time I noticed that things have changed for the worse. Tasteless and extremely expensive food, boring atmosphere. I paid 200 euros for two salads and...a seabass. I don't want to talk about the fact that it was extremely expensive in my opinion (every restaurant makes its prices according to demand) but the fact that the cutlery I received was dirty. I was shocked to see that at such a restaurant you get a fork full of rust and dirt. I will never return to this restaurant.More

Stopped by for lunch on a weekend and received the worst service possible. Took about 10 minutes for someone to take our order and we both ordered pasta. The paste took an hour to arrive. We were charged 10 euros for one spoon of parmesan....The pasta was decent at best. My girlfriend ordered water and only had half a glass of water poured and the bottle taken away. In the end they brought me the wrong bill which was from a different table and was 10x more expensive than ours. Will never return under any circumstance and cannot recommend this venue for anyone.More

My partner booked a table for my 50th birthday - in his email, he asked for a window seat with a view of the lake, explaining it was my birthday. He received confirmation that a window table had been reserved. Well, the table was certainly...by the window, but since two other sliding windows had been pushed back over ours, you could see absolutely nothing of the lake through three panes of double glazed glass. It was the worst table in the room, also being directly under a speaker. The food was good - but no better than Mezzaluna for example, yet twice as expensive. You're paying for the location - that wonderful view of the lake....ah yes, I may have already mentioned - there was no view of the lake.More

Went out for a cozy dinner. The food was good. But the whole restaurant was too smoky. Technically it is the terrace. But actually it was a closed space and it was the only space. Brought me back to the days before the smoking restrictions....Not enjoyable.More

It hasn't been the first time I was in Isoletta and this exquisite restaurant deserves to take the time and rate it. I have eaten fish in many places, from LA or Tokyo, to Italy, Portugal or the Greek islands. This is by far the...best fish restaurant I have ever been to. More than that, they have kept the high quality standards for many years. The wonderful setting and the great service are only topped by the excellent dishes. I can certainly recommend the Antipasto alla Isoletta, Misto Frutti di Mare alla Griglia and Risotto Crema di Scampi. I will be back soon !More

This was the farewell diner for our group of 14 following a round trip through this beautiful country. The food quality (all were very fresh ingredients) was top (!!) and the service almost very professional. Make sure to ask the size of your fish (turbot)...order or you receive a full fish party which you will never be able to finish. The atmosphere I am sure can be super but not when the taint belonging to the restaurant hosts a Romanian wedding which usually celebrate with very loud music.More

Nice restaurant in the Herastrau Park, with nice atmosphere, very good service (we had Marinica as waiter and were very pleased by his wine recommendations and general treatment) and excellent food. However, the price is incredible high when compared to the Bucharest market and infrastructure....It is inadequate to request in Romania prizes like in Zurich or Singapore as long as you are not paying salaries like in Zurich/Singapore. This is why only 4 stars.More
