    We didn’t actually get to dine here. When we arrived they said they couldn’t find our reservation. We were somewhat dismissed as a party of 3 to a nearby table for 6. We waited ten minutes for someone to say anything at all to us with only two other tables seated, then decided we needed to leave. They didn’t seem surprised when we left.

    Good food but my sea bass was very dry and overcooked. Good service, cozy ambiance.

    Most of the menu is gluten-free with gluten containing items marked. Staff is well informed and accommodating food is delicious. It was a great evening out. We’ve been twice now once to celebrate our anniversary and once to celebrate my husband‘s 50th birthday. Well, worth the trip to the city to go.

    Several times each year we return to The City for brief visits, and we always dine at Isa once or twice. It remains one of the best restaurants for really well-prepared meals served beautifully. This time we had the scallops and the halibut offerings, each prepared perfectly. Three nights ago we had duck confit and sweet breads (not always available); very different entrees, very delicious. And we almost always begin with steamed mussels. For Marina District dining, Isa remains our go to place.

    We went to support a local restaurant during Restaurant Week. The prix fixe menu had many choices and generous portions; the food was impeccably prepared and delicious. The service was warm and welcoming. We wished there were more French wines by the glass. A lovely evening in a space that was quiet enough for conversation, while still having a nice buzz.
