    We had a really delicious dinner at Isa, which has some great seasonal dishes of corn and tomatoes, perfect for summer. For appetizers we tried the heirloom tomatoes and the baked goat cheese with tomato and basil, and for entrees we tried the rack of lamb and pan roasted chicken. We loved everything we ordered. If you like roasted chicken with crispy skin, Isa has the best we've had in San Francisco, and it is complemented perfectly with a side order of sauteed local mushrooms. We also ordered a side order of corn and it was so good we almost ordered a second. Isa is a real gem and we look forward to returning soon.
