Ysabel is such a cute date night spot! The ambiance is beautiful, especially the outdoor space, and the food was amazing. We ordered the crispy sesame shrimp, watermelon feta salad, lemon spaghetti, braised short rib campanelle, grilled corn, and broccolini, and everything was so good. The short rib pasta and shrimp were probably my favorites. Our server was also really sweet and attentive. The mosquitoes were definitely out and I somehow left with five bites but she even offered me bug spray, which I thought was so thoughtful. Apparently they're just bad in California right now, so I definitely wouldn't hold that against the restaurant. Overall, such a beautiful atmosphere, great food, and a really nice experience. I'd definitely come back, especially for a date night! read more

I'm giving this one because the hostess let about 11 of us wait in line without even recognizing us or telling us what was going on all she talked on the phone for about 10 minutes. The food was about a three but unbelievable that they can't have someone helping the host or telling the hostess that she needs to acknowledge the customers when they come in and let them know what's going on. So unprofessional. Also to note the restaurant wasn't busy. There were six waiters just hanging around talking to each other so they could've helped with all this or the manager could've gotten some help for the hostess, but she was left alone and either was not trained really well or the management is really bad and needs to get on this. Also, she said no tables were open at the main part of the restaurant so we had to sit at the bar and we ate at the bar, but no one took those tables and there were about six waiters still just talking and waiting around so we could've easily eaten there, so I don't know what she was talking about As for the food it was OK nothing great. The chicken schnitzel was overcooked and fried a little bit too much and the rigatoni was OK but if you want good pasta, you should really go to Madeo or Ebaldi so nothing to write about here in general if you just wanna try some other places, this is fine, but don't expect the best or maybe we just didn't have the right dishes read more

Beautiful atmosphere for dinner! I recommend going right before sundown for a fuller patio experience. If you have the choice, choose seating near the olive trees. Food was overall great. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, wagyu skewers, burrata, and spicy tuna crispy rice for our appetizers. For our entree, we shared the lemon pasta and branzino. We finished off with the Mandarin Tart. Of the appetizers, the Brussel sprouts seemed the most unique and flavorful. They're tossed in a kimchi sauce, so it has a nice mild spice. The wagyu unfortunately had an unpleasant meat smell (maybe not super fresh), and the spicy tuna crispy rice was nothing special - good but only worth ordering if you're really craving it. Our server told us the lemon pasta was very "lemon-forward," but it was not as tangy as I anticipated. If you're on the fence, staff will recommend dishes that pair well with the lemon pasta! We enjoyed it with our branzino because this palate was much more simple. For special events and celebrations, Ysabel will give you an enjoyable experience. read more

Fantastic from start to finish. Our server threaded the needle between attentive and hovering perfectly, every dish was delicious, the anniversary desert was a cute small gesture and not overdone. May be our new favorite place. read more

This is such a cute restaurant and the smell is absolutely beautiful ! My friend made reservations for 5:30 which was the perfect time where we got to sit under the trees and enjoy the beautiful evening. We ordered the tuna tartare to start and finished off with sharing steak and truffle fries. Of course sitting outside has its consequences there were a couple of flies. The food was good ribeye was tendered. But the best part of this girls night dinner was my friend surprised me with a gift asking me to be her bridesmaid . This was an unforgettable night . read more

Thanks to my daughter for making dinner reservations. It was fabulous!! Since we came here on a Sunday, we were lucky to find free street parking. We got there early for dinner, so we beat the crowd. So many nice and interesting places to sit outside. The seating inside looked nice as well. We had calamari which came with a tasty dip. I've had calamari at many different restaurants, and this one was really good, but I have to admit I've had better. I would still order it again though. I ordered a pasta dish which tasted so good and was filling. My drink had just the right amount of alcohol in it. I should have asked for another one!! It was that good. The restroom was so nice and clean. There's a really large mirror in the restroom and the lighting was actually good. Some restrooms are way too dark. Great place for dinner with family and/or friends. The customer service was good as well as the service. Really nice vibes. read more

Honestly, our server Connor, made a good dining experience a great one. Highly attentive, funny, friendly, and charismatic! Truly the charm of our dinner. As for food, it was good -- not particularly spectacular, but a generous portion with lovely presentation. Drinks were delicious and dessert was too. We ordered a ribeye, sea bass, rigatoni, asparagus, and for dessert affogato and crème brûlée. Ambiance is lovely for a first date or hangout. Weekdays seem to be the vibe as it's not so crowded and more intimate crowds. read more

Years and years ago, this place used to be IT. Ysabel was popppppping on the weekends, and attracted groups and groups of people living their best LA life. The food was great, the vibes were there, and the decor added to the swanky ambiance. I even remember all of the pictures we'd take in front of their iconic wall of faces! I still have them, and they serve as souvenirs of wonderful memories... Good times. I recently went back to Ysabel on a Friday night and it was much different than what I remember. The environment was quiet, it was about 1/5 full if not a little less, and the food was just okay. It reminded me a bit of Lavo, just before they announced they were shutting business down. Ysabel was unfortunately not great about accommodating a food allergy at our table. Other restaurants swap ingredients or make suggestions or offer up alternatives, but Ysabel pointed out a couple of sides and deterred us from most of the menu. Not the best experience. The food we tried was okay... nothing to write home about, nothing I felt I had to come back for ASAP, and especially not for their price point. Disappointing but not all that surprising - seems like another LA place that has lost its way a bit through the years, especially post-COVID. Valet parking is your best bet here. read more

Sadly I do not have any pictures of our entrees bc we were starved LOL) but our dinner was soo delicious. We're visiting from the Bay Area and wanted to try Ysabel out since I had seen a lot of great reviews about it online. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. Love the ambiance and the vibe of the place- very romantic and fancy. For drinks we ordered the "Something About Cherry" and the "Sophia"- both of which were sweet, delicious and definitely strong. For apps we ordered truffle Parmesan fries, calamari and my favorite- the tartare. I could probably have 5 more of those tbh. I ordered the Spicy Rigatoni for my entree and it was amazing. I wish it would've came with some sort of chicken or protein since the pasta itself is heavy but overall it was delectable. Definitely recommend anyone who's looking for a nice restaurant with great food to come here. read more

We went to Ysabel for my wife's birthday and it's a pretty perfect birthday spot if you're parents looking to feel like you actually went out on the town. Especially if you live in the Valley and rarely go over the hill after 6pm. Ysabel has been on our radar as one of those celebrity/Instagram-friendly spots, and the space is the first thing that stands out. You enter through a small, tunnel-like corridor off busy Fairfax, with almost nothing visible from the street. Then you walk in and feel transported. The patio is a must with its twinkly trees, candles, white booths, marble tables and enough LA-ness to make the night feel a little special. We were honestly happy just being there on a beautiful summer evening. The cocktails were delicious and very aesthetic, though not exactly strong for our tolerance levels. Maybe that says more about us than the drinks. Still, delicious. We mostly ordered seafood and everything was solid for a three-dollar-sign restaurant. Good, but nothing life-changing. The warm apple pie-style dessert in a cute cast-iron pan with maple ice cream was excellent and probably the highlight. We went at 6pm on a Wednesday, so it wasn't too busy, which we liked. But as we were leaving, it started to pick up and we realized a little more people energy and people-watching would've been nice. Service was fine, but not especially warm. Our waitress did her job, but she started off pretty low-energy and only became more engaging toward the end. Food came out relatively quickly, though. I gave it 4 stars mainly because the service lacked a little enthusiasm. But if you're celebrating something special and don't mind spending $100+ per person, Ysabel is definitely that spot. read more

first time trying ysabel and i've seen it all over social media for so long, i'm glad they didn't disappoint! there's valet right in-front and it's $15. i thought the restaurant was small while we walked in but when i was walking to the restroom i noticed it was actually very spacious and had tons of indoor and outdoor seating. the food was amazing and both the service and ambiance was great! our server gave great recommendations so we went with * fried calamari - small pieces and was a bit lacking in flavor * wagyu yakatori skewers - so delicious, also came with some sweet potato's! * crispy sesame shrimp - is was actually shocked how good this was! & the sauce they give on the side was so good * fries * truffle fries * hand cut rigatoni - definitely adding this to my fav pasta dishes! i think it's better than the pasta at elephante, it was saucier and a bit spicy! our server came back a couple times to check up on us and our waters were constantly refilled as well! read more

Trendy, cute super trendy, pretty, vibrant spot great for Fridays and Saturdays gatherings! It's usually crowded so would definitely need to make a reservation, however, you can chill in the bar (they have 2 inside bars) or by the stairs while waiting. Cocktails are a piece of art! I had cactus and it was absolutely amazing! Atmosphere is very nice and even feels slightly private, even though place is super crowded (probably table that are far-ish from each other help). Food was delicious- from appetizers like fries and Brussels sprouts to hand cut rigatoni and chicken snitzel! Work of art. The only thing that was slightly annoying was that waiters were trying to make us pay before we haven't even finished our courses and drinks yet, it felt a little rude, but we all gotta do what we gotta do. Overall- worth coming and hanging! read more

Very interesting dinner at Ysabel on a Saturday night. The best things about this restaurant is the ambience. There are multiple sections including two indoor rooms with booths and two separate bars and the outdoor courtyard and the patio. Very nicely decorated with lights. Very romantic. Menu is mostly Italian. Our server was nice and service was amazing. We sat out side in the corner. Cocktails were great. We had the prosciutto and peaches plate. Very interesting as it was on top of a thick pesto paste. We also had the chopped salad which was very well seasoned. For main dish I had the rigatoni vodka but didn't think it's had the calabrese chili that was said on the menu. My wife had the short rib pasta. Was good although the short rib has an interesting aftertaste. It was top with burrata but given the cheese was cold, The Who dish seemed cold. My son had the chicken schnitzel and he truly enjoyed it. It's a big piece with some sort of a salad on top. We skipped dessert. read more

I was having trouble finding a birthday dine spot, and I came across this beautiful gem. From start to finish I've got to say it was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in awhile. The server was super knowledgeable and broke down the menu as first timers, I ordered the miso salmon and my boyfriend had their vodka pasta with chicken. We both were in awe of these two plates, the miso salmon was packed with flavor and paired so well with their "black forbidden rice." The vodka pasta had the perfect kick to it. Our drinks were delicious! I ordered the something about cherry drink, which was a vodka based cocktail (not my usual) , but I wanted to try something other than a margarita. Thank you to the Ysabel team for making my birthday dinner so special, they even add a birthday card along with your dessert! Now moving onto the ambiance, it was one of the most beautiful, most intimate/romantic restaurants I've been to in awhile. I loved that they had trees with lights in the restaurant, and roses hanging from the trees. The iconic steps make for great Instagram pictures! read more

Had a wonderful experience at Ysabel. Group of us made same day reservation around 6 pm and it was empty. The ambiance is beautiful, I love the lights on the trees! The food was fantastic.

Came here for a birthday dinner and left kind of disappointed. Didn't know what to expect here but with all the good reviews, I was expecting something but received nothing. They offer valet parking! Food was good, but in a city like LA, nothing really stood out to me. Presentation of the food was real pretty though! The ambiance and vibes were stunning and beautiful with plenty of seats. There's an outdoor and indoor seating, which we opted for outdoors. It was nighttime so lights were very, very, very dim. Service was okay, we did sit there for a while before anyone took our order. This place is a solid 2.2/5. read more

Made a reservation for 8 PM, and it ended up being a really nice spot. The restaurant has a beautiful, whimsical atmosphere that feels elevated without being over the top. Parking was easy with the $15 valet, and service was friendly and efficient. Our food came out quickly, which was nice. We shared the brussels sprouts, spicy tuna tartare, and hamachi crudo to start, and I ordered the hand-cut rigatoni. The appetizers were definitely the highlight of the meal! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, especially the spicy tuna tartare, which was my favorite. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing between two people. The hand-cut rigatoni was good, but it didn't stand out as much as the appetizers. By the end of the meal, we were both very full. Overall, it's definitely on the pricier side, but the beautiful ambiance, great service, and delicious appetizers make it worth visiting for a special occasion or date night. read more

One of my favorite places! I keep coming back mainly for the hand-cut vodka rigatoni -- it's definitely the star of the menu for me. I've had it many times and it's always so good. I've also tried the schnitzel, which was okay but nothing too special. Unfortunately, the wagyu sticks with mushrooms were a big disappointment. The meat was extremely undercooked and so chewy it almost felt like chewing gum, so I definitely wouldn't order those again. I've also tried the fried calamari and the watermelon salad, which were pretty good. Overall, I've tried quite a few things here, but the pasta is what keeps bringing me back. The hand-cut vodka rigatoni alone is worth the visit! But service itself bad we waited for server for 20 minutes just to get menu while we were seated , also we had reservations prior on 6:30 but I've pushed to 7:00 cus of traffic , but I they were picking up phone and hanging up on me FOUR times , and when I called from my friends phone they picked up same minute read more

Came here for my bf's birthday and the food was 10/10!! The New York cooked to perfection and you have to order the rigatoni! Honorable mentions are mashed potatoes and wagyu yakitori (not pictured) Our waitress wasn't really checking on us for so I rated this place a 4/5 but the bussers were on it! The ambiance is really nice, we weren't by the lights but we were by a booth that had a view of it and basically had our own private corner. Would definitely come back! read more

After exploring a few options, my friends and I decided to dine at Ysabel for a birthday dinner. Unfortunately, the experience didn't start off well. Upon arrival, our group of five stood waiting several minutes without being greeted. Eventually, I had to ask a passing staff member how we could get seated. The host who finally helped us was not particularly welcoming -- we felt judged, which immediately set the wrong tone for the evening. Thankfully, our server (ginger/red hair) turned the experience around a bit. She was lovely and kind -- as were the staff who brought out our food. We ordered the lemon pasta and rigatoni. The lemon pasta was a 10/10 -- creamy, bright, and perfectly balanced with the right amount of lemon. The rigatoni was an 8/10, rich and flavorful. The cocktails were also beautifully crafted -- the Daisy & She's the Cherry (10/10). However, after finishing our meal and paying, we stopped by the exit to take some pictures together. The hosts appeared visibly bothered and stood behind the host stand whispering and staring at us, which felt uncomfortable and unnecessary. Overall, while the food and drinks were excellent, the lack of warmth and professionalism from the front-of-house staff really took away from what could've been a great dining experience. I won't be returning or recommending this location. read more

Ysabel is a cute restaurant with an outdoor upscale vibe. I shared the rigatoni and lemon pasta with my friend, and both pastas tasted fresh and had good sauces. As an appetizer we got the spicy tuna tartar, which is served on crispy rice. Wasn't the best I've had and was kind of pricy, but was solid. For my friend's birthday, they were able to put together a small dessert which was molten chocolate cake with ice cream. They have a lot of staff that were attentive to our table. This included people designated to refilling waters, which was needed several times because their water glasses were so small. One small comment I would have is that their metal chairs were uncomfortable for dining for close to 2 hours, and we would have much preferred another seating option. read more

This place was amazing. We went for an anniversary and the vibe was very much romantic/moody garden. Ambiance is on point, but more importantly, the food was SO good. Like I'm still dreaming about it, man. * Kimchi Brussel Sprouts: perfect balance of flavors. I'm a kimchi fanatic but if it isn't your vibe, I don't think the kimchi flavor was very strong or apparent. * Lemon spaghetti: our server asked us if we wanted burrata with it. The answer will always be yes. It was SO good. My favorite dish. So simple but so flavorful at the same time. * Artichoke tortellini: this dish was so unique. The presentation was gorgeous. Idk what was in the sauce but it was like Crack. * Roasted corn: if you like esquites, you will love this. * Chocolate cake & ice cream: the ice was lovely but the cake was average. Still enjoyed it but it was not the standout of the meal. Our server was so nice and attentive. I wish I could remember her name but she had an Aussie accent (I think) and looked like/reminded me of Margot Robbie thanks for the lovely experience! read more

The vibe here is seriously on point. The decor is gorgeous, the patio lights are magical, and it totally feels like the kind of spot you'd want to gather with friends and settle in for a fun night. Plus, the drink menu is super creative--definitely some fun options to try. That said, the service kinda missed the mark. When we got there, the hostess let us know we had a 90-minute time limit--which is fine--but after we sat down, our server said a quick hello... then disappeared for like 10 minutes before we could even order drinks. Food-wise, it was a bit uneven. Three of our pasta dishes came out together, but the chicken dish didn't show up for another five minutes. Not a huge deal, but for a place that feels like it's going for a fine dining experience, I expected a little more polish. Our server also didn't check in much--we were done with our drinks and kinda just sitting there waiting. The food was tasty, but in a city like LA, where there are so many great spots with amazing service to match, this one didn't really stand out. Would I go back? Not for dinner. But I'd definitely stop by again for a drink and some apps at the bar--it's a great scene for that. read more
