As important were great cocktails. I look forward to having dinner there.6/2/2013 12:00:00 AMIsaCute spot but food on the menu is nothing great just like their shoddy menus printed via an ink jet printer. You would think with the effort the artist put into the menu design the same effort would be put in conveying it, or maybe thats the irony? Best bet is to order the specials of the day which were fantastic. Hipster vibe seethes through the neighborhood so just accept with a grain of salt this place is THE hipster hang. Not my cup of tea but there is something to be said about the effort taken to have a quaint log cabin in the middle of Brooklyn.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMTop Notch Brooklyn RestaurantMy two sons, my wife and I had an excellent time at Isa — super food, attentive wait staff and a vibrant atmosphere. It's a bit out of the way (and a long way from home for one of my sons and my wife and me who live in Toronto.) I recommend the chicken dish and the specials . . . and the super panna cotta for dessert.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMKiller Bloody MaryFabulous bar tender, took my boyfriend and his mom to go hipster sighting here for an early Sat. dinner. The bar tender didn't blink when I asked him for a bloody mary at 6:00PM and joked with me and my BF's mom. The agnolotti pasta was hearty and just what I was in the mood for. Early dinner is laid-back, the crowds descend starting 7:30. I would go back for the chocolate mousse alone.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThey have 2 areas. One isThey have 2 areas. One is around the bar and the other is pretty much in the kitchen. Their menu is special with unexpected combinations. Great flavours and local produce. Cocktails are outstanding. Service is professinal and quick. It was my 3rd time here and I always love it as well as any guests I bring along.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing chocolate mousseIsa has a rotating seasonal menu in a hip and welcoming rustically decorated restaurant (since my reservation Isa has won the James Beard award for restaurant design. Awesome!), I had the fish of the day which were scallops cooked with subtle perfection, juicy center with a barely there crispness on the outside. The chocolate mousse is out of this world amazing (haven't had better since eating the famous dessert at ChezJanou in Paris in 2010). Be sure to make reservations as they get crazy busy during prime time hours.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat space. Upstairs forGreat space. Upstairs for larger parties. Food was great, excellent wine list, not a huge selection, but good choices. Highly recommend.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurant, great food,Great restaurant, great food, nice service.
The only bad point is the food is TOO SALTY. You can see the quantity of salt they put (kitchen is open on the dining room) and it is crazy to put that much ! I had to wake up a few times during the night to drink water. Next time I will definitely ask for no salt in my food.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and service wereThe food and service were great. My only complaint is that it took a while to get seated even though we had reservations.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat overall vibe. LooksGreat overall vibe. Looks and feels like a cabin in the woods. Beautiful wood details. Food was very good but nothing particularly different. Good home cooking and very health conscious. I like that a lot. A bit expensive on some of the dishes but overall good price range. Pizzas are excellent!4/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place has unique foodThis place has unique food and an ambiance of wood and fire.

I really recommend ISA.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe started out with a greatWe started out with a great drink at the bar - tried a new cocktail that the bartender had just created that day, and it was tasty. Once our party of 5 was seated we began with Kale Caesar, meatballs and a great duck appetizer. Main dishes were chicken, cavatelli, and the pork stew - all outstanding. Great service. Will be back.3/13/2013 12:00:00 AM
