   On Christmas Eve we were sat in the bar. It was dark and felt like an overflow dinner area. We were 5 guest sitting at a table meant for 4. The person at the end of the table had to scoot his chair in very close to the table to avoid being hit in the back. Our waiter had far too many table to service. My biggest problems with restaurants after Covid is that they over commit with reservations when they don’t have the wait service to provide decent service. Not a great experience.

   Everything was above par. Except the pork chop which was overcooked and boring.

   Third Times a Charm. We went on Friday and it was pretty busy. Izzy’s is bouncing back. Service is improving as well as the kitchen. And the Taste of Food and Portions was getting back to Original Izzy’s style. We had leftovers to bring home like we did in the Original Izzy’s days. Frito Misto and Cesar Salad are fresh and huge. The Skirt Steak was exactly like the Old Days. Bread Service is worth it.

   The Golden Retriver of fine dining…friendly & reliably excellent! The waiter was patient and paced the check-ins so not to be intrusive. Our steak was cooked perfectly. (Also, highly recommend the cooked prawns!) Finally, we sat in the main dining area. Although busy, the noise level was livable. Beware to bring a jacket or sweater, they keep the temperature frosty. However, the host made an adjustment after one request. We’re coming back!

   Staff, food and drinks were fantastics, not the first time that I have gone to Izzy's and won't be my last.

   I have eaten at Izzy’s for years and enjoyed it. Something is in the air at this restaurant these days. I went on Sunday (first seating at 430 pm) with a lady friend. We were the ONLY persons in the restaurant. As I am deaf, I asked the macho man host to seat us at a booth so we could sit next to each other not across from each other. He flatly refused. He marched us to the bar (not as comfortable as the dining room) and said we could eat there because the noise was lower. I again patiently explained my disability and again he quibbled with me and refused to seat us in a booth that permitted us to sit next to each other. We left and went to San Mateo Prime in downtown San Mateo. She had the steak and I had the prime rib. We had a delicious meal at San Mateo Prime. I will return again and again to San Mateo Prime. I will NOT return to Izzy’s.

   They were very accommodating when we arrived early for our reservation. We had 3 different steak options and a trout dinner. All of them were distinct and delicious.

   The filet mignon is unbelievable. About the best I've ever had. But the sides--not so good. They don't fluff the baked potato before adding toppings so everything just melts off. The Izzy potatoes are a mess--greasy and unappetizing. Ask for a naked baked potato and a steak and you'll have an amazing meal!

   Thank you for joining us and the helpful feedback. We'll share your notes with our culinary team as the Izzy's potatoes are a guest favorite.
