Isa Bistro Reviews
Last month our flight to Portland was delayed a considerable amount of time due to weather issues and it looked as though we would not be able to make our 5p.m. reservation. My daughter called from the tarmac in Boston where we were rerouted and refueled and explained the situation. The hostess, Susie, was very understanding and compassionate And said that even though our table was booked for another party a 7, we should come in and she would see what she could do. We got there late but Susie greeted us warmly and told us not to worry about being rushed that she had arranged things so no one would be inconvenienced. The atmosphere was warm and cozy; the food so very delicious and our waitperson, Anika, was the best. Atmosphere, impeccable service, food and warmth all rate 5 stars and another visit next time we are in Portland.

Isa Bistro is a cozy restaurant with a unique atmosphere, featuring a tin ceiling, brick walls, and a small bar area. The restaurant has a jolly friendly vibe, making it a relaxing place to enjoy a truly great meal. The menu features a variety of delicious options, including fresh and seasonal salads, and entrees such as sole with garlicky spinach and small boiled potatoes, branzino, halibut, and seared scallops. The gnocchi is also highly recommended. For dessert, guests can indulge in sweet treats like berry sorbet and chocolate cake, along with an impressive selection of wines. The food and service are outstanding, with the octopus, olives, and green salad receiving praise as appetizers, and the branzino as the star main dish. The ambiance is described as more homey than elegant, with tables a little too close together. Overall, Isa Bistro provides an excellent dining experience with great food, service, and a cozy atmosphere.
