La Isla

Loved the garlic sauce, but suspect food poisoning (pork)

by juliewd at Citysearch

My husband and I had a date night here about a month ago. The plantains and garlic sauce were amazing, and I would give a good review except for the fact that my husband was very sick that night with food poisoning and suspects it was the pork. I had a vegetarian entree and was fine.

Horrible Bartender Ramone

by GPetunia11 at Citysearch

I am sad to say that my favorite restaurant has been ruined by an arrogant bartender. I have loved La Isla since it opened but will never go back again because Ramone the bartender is so rude. I have never been treated as badly as I was last night with my friends. It is too bad that a bartender who is in the service industry thinks he is too good to serve customers. This is the second time I have had bad service from the bar there. Is being rude to customers La Isla’s new policy?

NEVER AGAIN

by Mr Gourmet at Citysearch

Last night was our first and last visit to La Isla. The food was horrible and had no flavor, the service was horrible, and the restaurant was super noisy. By the time I got home my first visit was to the bathroom. I am not sure if the meat was bad but I ended up with my head in the toilet and was sick all night. If you want tasteless food that will make you sick to your stomach, this is your restaurant. As for me....never again

FOOD POISIONING

by kpnitrl at Citysearch

I am the concierge of a highrise building and this is an experience of one my residents.

Let me first say that the food is tasty and cheap. But I'm not here to reveiw the food, I'm here to tell you about my resident's experience.

My resident had coffee for breakfast and lunch (that's it). She came here for dinner with 'her' friend and they shared a vegetarian plate together. However, she ordered a pork entree (I don't remember which one) to eat by herself. The other lady was vegeterian and did not have any.

That night her world was turned upside with FOOD POISIONING. She ended being taken to the Dr.'s the next morning. She was given 2 different medications to help her recover. The Dr. quickly ruled out her daily coffee as the cause of her POISIONING. She was layed up from work for 3 days.

She called the restaurant 3 times and left messages. They refuse to speak with her about what happened. Frankly, she just wanted to tell them what she ate so they could investigate it. Their irresponsibility and concern for their patrons is a cause for alarm. I wonder if this has happened to others as well. The food is pretty cheap so it causes me to wonder just how fresh it really is.

Her meal came with a price that no one should have pay!

You've been warned.

• Pros: Cheap
• Cons: Sick as a dog!!

Best Puerto Rican

by dsepulveda at Citysearch

We searched the internet for a Puerto Rican restaurant in Seattle, WA. We went on a Firday night it was crowded but, that was because the food was WONDERFUL. The service was excellent along with the food. If you want really good food go there.
