Isabella's Taverna Tapas - Frederick

First trip to Frederick. Wanted to eat somewhere local, and was recommended Isabella?s by a friend. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Great tapas options. I really wanted to try the paella, but didn?t have the time to wait for its preparation (menu states up to 25 mins). The food came out quickly and the server let us know that it would come out as it was ready, which was more than OK. I recommend the short rib and fried asparagus

Wonderful restaurant featuring authentic Spanish tapas and paella. They also offer Sunday brunch until 3pm. We opted for tapas and a late lunch over the brunch. Seated immediately and the food started coming out fast. Everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the papas bravas, fried asparagus, albondigas (meatballs) and empanadas.

What wonderful place for a girls lunch! Especially when we both love cheese so much. Lol We started with the fried goat cheese. I actually appreciated that this goat cheese wasn?t quite as pungent as most. It was on the mild side. And the Panko exterior was extra crunchy. Next, the waiter brought out a complimentary dish from the kitchen! Panko fried asparagus. It?s served in a champagne glass filled with tomato aioli at the bottom. I love asparagus so much just in its own,

I enjoyed my dining experience at Isabella?s. The food and drinks were top notch. Definitely has the ambiance for a great date night or girls night. I highly recommend.

Ordered the new York strip with broccoli. The steak tasted like water. Had false sear marks and seemed precooked. A buffets cheap steak had more flavor. And the broccoli was not cooked My wife had the breakfast wrap. It was good, but lacking almost any kind of flavor. The coffee taste like a cheap Maxwell's coffee. The waitress was a sweet heart though. I do not recommend this place to eat.
