Still a lot more windy than normal. Lots of sum though. As usual we spent most of the day at the pool. Dinner was at the Italian restaurant down the hill, Isola. The manager, Marco, is wonderful as is Natasha who served us. John had pasta bolonaise, Lynn Newlin had a clam Linguine dish, Valinda Vincent had salmon, Robin McCants had risotto with shrimp and I had pistachio crusted tuna. We shared a potato thyme gratin. All the meals were absolutely superb. For dessert we shared an Apple tart and tiramisu. Marco and his team made out experience the Best!!

Marco and Natasha are the best. Isola is one of our regular places to go to. Glad you enjoyed the evening and food there.

We remember Marco back to the LaGondola days.

We usually made that one of our stops for dinner back then.

Isola seems to get better each year.

Ever since Marco took over it's been great.

Honestly, prior to Marco, it was very unimpressive IMHO.

Love Isola, from the pizza to the fine dining, it's all good! Having valet parking and the Casino next door is just an added bonus!
