A visit to the new IZZY’S in Redwood City for a Mother’s Day. My first time going to IZZY’S in general so I had no expectations. Moms chose the location tho so I knew it was good at worst. We sat outside due to the weather being great that day think it was a good choice. For starters we had the Deviled eggs and Drunken Prawns. Deviled Eggs: not bad at all, have never had a fried deviled egg before, the texture was different. An abundance of flavors, I particularly liked the pickled radishes as a touch of flavor. Drunken Prawns: jumbo prawns in a sauce with some kind of breaded element under the shrimp soaked in the sauce. Be sure to order extra bread to get that sauce! Mushroom Spaghetti: fresh hand roll tasting noodles with grilled mushrooms topped with some Parmesan cheese. Yum 22oz Bone-In Ribeye: shared amongst three people I would say this was a very good steak. I saw some other steaks being deliver to other tables and those looked good to but thinking economical as well as us not being huge meat eaters the rib eye was the rite choice. Sides: Izzy’s Potatoes(awesomeness), Cream Spinach(very good), Broccolini

Food was delicious! Went there for fathers day for the first time. I saw that it was remodeled and looks very elegant. Parking was great. Hate going to places that have no parking. Outside dining looked great.

Okay Izzy's! First of all, the Model Hostess (whose name I forgot immediately after I asked her) definitely set the tone for the experience. She was as kind and welcoming as she was beautiful. I'm just going to say it- being a person of color in this day and age, with this social climate- it means, A lot especially entering a restaurant. It can make or break your entire experience and girl, you definitely passed the vibe check. She passed the torch to John, our server who was an absolute gem. I mean he definitely made the personal connection with us. He went above and beyond, managed up his staff, and even brought the Bartender over to ensure that the drink I wanted was to my perfection. The Bartender, whose name I also forgot i'm sorry (you know who you are! ) was also a quiet , yet remarkable addition to our experience. Although my mother and I were using Izzy's as a place to have a Soprano-esque family meeting, we did so amidst one of the best pieces of steak i've ever had. We started off with the oysters which were also TO DIE for . The steak was also salted to perfection and just a very good porterhouse steak. Unfortunately, because the steak was such a star, I had to honestly give four stars because the sides, the potatoes (?) , creamed spinach, and wedge salad were just not up to par to the excellence of the steak. I did enjoy the engraving on the silver ware which tells me it is a pretty swanky restaurant and I just wanted the side dishes to be a bit more memorable. But the steak , customer service, and ambiance - definitely made up for it. We did finish our meal with the chocolate raspberry cake which was pretty good ,although a better cup of coffee would've probably set it off . Oh yeah, Thanks John for your ability to make us feel so comfortable ! - Got my picture
