Plate to Palate | Restaurant review: Isono Eatery & Bar, SoHo - Mediterranean
Andalusian gazpacho (HK$98/regular portion) was cold and refreshing, and smelled of extra virgin olive oil. Chargrilled Spanish red prawns with parsley pesto (HK$390/regular portion; we were told there would be five, but were served only four) had sweet, soft meat and heads that were full of rich juice.

about HK$600 without drinks or the service charge.
It's a gorgeous venue with high ceilings, but the noise level can get quite high.

The selection of Iberian pork — shoulder, chorizo and morcilla (HK$245/regular portion) was meaty and satisfying, but would have been better hot. We liked the flavour of the seafood paella (HK$240/regular), but we had the same complaint — the waitress made a point of warning us that the pan was hot, and she put it on a trivet, but it was barely warm. Catalan cream foam with toffee ice cream and pineapple (HK$80) was nice, light and frothy.
