Isa has been and continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in the Portland area. We go there with some regularity - for a Friday lunch, a casual meal out, a birthday celebration as well as on New Years Eve. The food, service and ambience are all outstanding.

Always a great experience! We made a reservation a week ahead and noted we needed a bigger table for 2 adults, a baby in a car seat and a toddler. We arrived and were immediately seated in the perfect table for our needs, our waiter was very friendly, and the food and drinks were 10/10 as always.
