This was the best meal I've had in a while. All of the owners and staff were so kind and attentive. They really go the extra mile here. Sea-bass, steak, mashed potatoes, and flourless chocolate cake were excellent. Thank you so much for a wonderful night!

We dine often at Isa feel that it is excellent and does NOT get enough publicity! The food is fabulous , the service is superb and it has great neighborhood vibe! It is always a pleasure to dine there!

Lovely dinner during GGRA. Dean was amazing along with the other staff members that helped us during our dining experience. Service overall was outstanding. Enjoyed four courses, almost everything was top notch. Lobster broth was slightly too salty. Potato leek soup was creamy and delicious but not as hot as I normally prefer soups. Prawn appetizer was perfect, cooked just right with just enough sauce. Crab salad was good but not a standout. The grilled sourdough bread with the butter was crunchy and satisfying. Hanger steak entree was tender and the sauce enhanced the meat nicely. The scallops were done perfectly, just wished that the plate had more than three small to medium sized scallops. The accompanying mashed potatoes with bacon was creamy, salted perfectly and delicious. Desserts really hit the spot. Chocolate sorbet was smooth and one of the best I've had. Crème brûlée was creamy with a nice layer of torched sugar, just right proportions. Overall a great dinner and we hope to be back soon to try other dishes on their menu.

The Restaurant Week gave us a chance to to try ISA. Had a lovely table in the front window. The food was good and portions very reasonable. Service was disappointing for a slow Wed evening. Host was apologetic but things seemed 'listless'.

Four of us ordered various dishes from the special GGRA restaurant week menu and traded tastes. Everyone liked everything. We started with the lobster broth and the potato leek soup. Next were Dungeness crab salad, hamachi, baked goat cheese, and sauteed wild prawns. We followed with halibut, rack of lamb, scallops, and hanger steak. For dessert, we tried the semifreddo all' amaretto, creme brulee, and, while we asked for the Vahlrona chocolate ice cream, we got the vanilla bean gelato (didn't point out the error; the vanilla was very good). Some of our family members (who weren't present) are gluten-intolerant, so we were impressed with the great number of gluten-free dishes available. This is a great spot for variety. We'll definitely return.

Yellowtail hamachi was perfect, not sliced too thick. I enjoyed much of the food. All of the waiters were very informative, kind and had great suggestions! Even though I had a reservation, it was a bit overcrowded to truly enjoy the food experience and had too many heaters outside. I had to ask for it turned off because I was inhaling the heater fumes.

The halibut may have been best ever. Service was a bit slow but one staff member on a Sunday night. He was kept hopping and did a great job meeting demand. Recommend the Prix fixe menu for Sunday or week nights.

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant with consistently delicious food, exceptional service and a warm, welcoming ambiance.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Food is terrible and tiny portions. Lee talks way too much.

Mid. For what you pay the food is simply not good enough. Nice atmosphere but if you are here for the food go somewhere else

My partner And I came here for dinner for the third time and had a fantastic experience. This place is consistent, friendly, and the food is great! We had the sea bass, which, normally I don’t like sea bass, but this was excellent. The chocolate soufflé dessert was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice night out at a reasonable price

Great experience at Isa! Service is friendly and food is consistently good. The owner is a really nice man and it's clear that they are prioritizing the patron experience.
