Star chef Mike Isabella's dramatic food hall with his branded eateries, a bar/lounge & coffee stop
"New York-based Urbanspace has taken over the Isabella Eatery in Tysons Galleria, bringing in an impressive collection of D.C. area chefs but running into its own lawsuit drama." - Gabe Hiatt
"Isabella Eatery is a venue mentioned in a legal complaint by former manager Chloe Caras, who documented instances of purported mistreatment of women, including sexually explicit comments, simulated sex acts, and inappropriate physical contact." - Warren Rojas
"Ethnic Dining Guide author Tyler Cowen visits the Tysons Corner food hall five times and concludes he’s surprised by 'how fun' the set-up is (though its branches of Arroz, Requin, Graffiato, Yona, and Pepina Cantina in general don’t compare to their home bases). He suggests hitting two or three of them and ordering small dishes along the way and ending with chocolate ice cream. There are nice spaces to sit and chat, he notes, and the layout vaguely reminds him of Singapore." - Tierney Plumb
"Isabella Eatery food hall in Tysons Corner is also using the circular plating." - Tierney Plumb
"Starting Thursday, February 1, glitzy food hall Isabella Eatery will run a weeknight happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring bar specials at Arroz, Graffiato, Nonfiction Coffee, Pepita, and Requin." - Tierney Plumb
