Isabella Eatery's Next Phase Opening
Only two more components of Isabella Eatery have yet to open after this week. A few more will open with limited menus starting Friday.

TYSONS, VA—Isabella Eatery has debuted at Tysons Galleria, and only a few more of its concepts have yet to open. The next phase is the opening of Mexican restaurant Pepita, seafood bar Requin Oysters & Champagne and Japanese restaurant Yona Friday at 11:30 a.m. The newest concepts will be serving limited menus.
Other concepts already open are Graffiato, Kapnos Marketa, Nonfiction Coffee, Octagon Bar and Retro Creamery. Reservations are currently only available for Graffiato.
DC chef Mike Isabella's nine-concept dining hall is his biggest project yet. The 41,000-square-feet dining facility brings dine-in and takeout options to the mall, offering spin offs of Isabella's restaurants such as Requin and Kapnos while introducing new concepts. The overall capacity is 615 seats.
