   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!

   First off, when making my reservation. I requested a 4 top booth so my wife and I could sit together as it is date night. The manager tried to sit us at a 1/2 booth, 2 top table. Which means we would have to sit across from each other. Also, I'm the kind of person who likes to purchase lots of food, making the table extremely small and unable to do that. So, I requested the manager to change our location to a 4 top. He sat us in the bar, expecting us to be happy with the world's smallest table in a booth, and the table was shaped oddly, so we were unable to get both of our plates on one side and had to scrunch in. She ordered the mushroom Bolognese, and I had prime rib. The Bolognese noodles we're undercooked and still kind of hard. The prime rib was pretty good. Our server only came by a couple of times. We had to wait a long time to request anything or refills. I knew it would take forever if I ordered dessert, so we decided to pass. It took another twenty minutes before we received our bill. The price wasn't too bad compared to a lot of other date nights I've been on, but I did make a note on their copy that said I was SAD! :-( WE WON'T BE GOING BACK THERE ANYMORE!

    Rude service. Brought out the completely wrong meal and acted like we had changed our order. Had to ask for items twice and in the end we gave up and dealt with it in order to get the meal over with as soon as possible.
