Isabella's Restaurant

Inside this restaurant, catering to Mandarin style cuisine and American, are several tables about the dining room. Booths line one solid brick wall on the left. Centered on this brick wall is a large portrait of the Great Wall of China surrounded by white Christmas lights. Each table is decorated with white table clothes and red peacock shaped cloth napkins. At the entrance is a half-wall planter that has several plants and flowers displayed atop it. A lighted 'Special's Tonight' sign stands near the entrance.

Ahead is the counter with a glass display case. Several Chinese items are inside along with some Seattle souvenirs for sale. The cash register sits here along with menus and a card machine. Four black and silver antique chandeliers illuminate the restaurant in a warm glow. Behind the counter opposite the booths is a long buffet. Plates set in one section with a variety of Chinese hot and cold food spread out for those to choose from. To the right of the buffet is a pair of swinging doors leading to the kitchen beyond.

The other three walls of the restaurant are wallpapered in a cream colored background with light red flowers. The wall opposite the entrance has four long mirrors from ceiling to near floor length. There are a few windows on the side with the entrance and closer to the swinging doors is a large, heavy made aquarium with many colorful ocean type fish in it.
