Food was very good. Cocktails just so so, using maraschino cherries in a $16 Manhattan???
Food was excellent! Started with grilled calamari and steamed mussels! Delicious! Had duck breast with red cabbage and au gratin potatoes! Excellent! Finished off with flourless chocolate cake with vanilla bean gelato! Yummy! â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸
Dinner was fantastic as were our servers. All the waitstaff at Isa were professional and courteous. We were initially seated next to a large wedding party, but as it immediately became clear that the noise level was ear-splitting due to the overexuberance of the wedding table patrons and patrinos (kids), we were moved without issue to a different room and much quieter table. Have been to Isa many times and it never disappoints.
Not up to par with past visits to Isa unfortunately. They sat a large crowd of 20 in the rear patio area which is supposed to be the nice ambiance romantic part of the restaurant however the group mingled in the aisle making it hard for staff to get by and crowding our table. Food was good and the prices seemed the same however I do believe the portion sizes have been reduced. Drinks from the bar were tasty however think the tender might need a lesson in which glasses certain drinks go in for example my mule came in a no hits glass instead of a copper tin
The food was really good but the portions were so small and so expensive. We left hungry. Had to go back to our hotel and order more food and drinks. Plus we felt like they were trying to get our party out of there way too fast. Drink eat leave.
Beware of scam for events — the manager Sam stole our $1000 security deposit. Even with the promise of a "security deposit which will be fully credited", he refused to return it because he "made less money than anticipated." He was extremely inconsiderate and rude, and we will have to settle this in small claims court. We read the previous reviews about his scams and went ahead with the event anyways, but were disappointed to learn that it would happen to us as well. Just know that if you give him any money, it is gone for good. It is a shame because this was a beautiful event space, with good food and a nice wait staff. We were left with an extremely bitter taste in our mouth though, and would recommend skipping Isa altogether to avoid this experience.
Wonderful & friendly neighborhood restaurant. Food delicious & healthy!
The tuna tartar was exceptional as was the salad. Just a casual, lovely experience.
Covered outdoor patio was comfortable and warm even on a chilly evening. Our waiterâs personality was friendly and helpful. We felt like longtime customers. Itâs the kind of place thatâs been around many years and must have loyal regulars. Food was excellent. Smaller plates for sharing and also larger entrees. Full bar too.
Isa is a neighborhood gem. Excellent menu, perfectly prepared, outstanding service, in a beautiful patio setting. Should be a destination for a date night, celebration or an outstanding meal. Kudos!
