| Perched high atop Mt. Washington, in a quirky two-story building that once was a private home, Isabela on Grandview yields an upscale yet relaxed experience. The small restaurant seats approximately 50 on two floors. At each level, large square windows frame dazzling views of the Golden Triangle and the three rivers. The restaurant’s scale and intimacy, unique in this Grandview neighborhood, makes the view all the more exceptional. On the first floor, a handcrafted bar presides over a lounge setting. Upstairs, a lively open kitchen generates excitement. Smooth service facilitates the unfurling of the fixed price ($70) seven-course tasting menu. The restaurant also offers a fixed price flight of four wines ($40) matched to the meal. Monday through Friday, there's an à la carte menu. Animating flavors, co-chefs give innovative twists to American dishes. Seasonal specials include Strauss veal sweetbreads with white bean pignoli purée and red wine reduction; and Madeira-braised rabbit leg with wild mushrooms and whole-grain mustard spätzle. For dessert, claim Italian ricotta cheesecake crowned with a biscotti brown butter crust and almonds. |
