I went to Isa for SF Restaurant week. They had a 4 course set menu. First, let's talk about the place and the ambiance. The restaurant is in a nice neighborhood, so you can walk around and find some good restaurants and boutique stores close by. Parking can be tough. They have two indoor dining areas- one in the front and one in the back. The front dining area has a very minimalistic look, and it has a darker setting with dim lights. As you walk towards the back seating area, you are greeted by a lush display of indoor vines that climb up the walls and hang from the ceiling, giving the space a vibrant and organic feel. The lighting is warm and ambient, with a combination of pendant lamps and hanging bulbs that cast a soft glow throughout the room. Now let's talk about the food. My friend and I ordered all these dishes - First course- 1. Main lobster broth 2. Potato and leak soup Second course- 1. Yellowfin tuna 2. Salmon carpaccio Third course- 1. Maple leaf duck breast 2. Hanger steak Fourth course- 1. Amaretto 2. Creme brulee Both the items from course 1 were pretty good. They were served somewhat lukewarm. Both yellowfin tuna and salmon carpaccio were served with grilled bread. Yellowfin tuna had mild flavoring, so the grilled bread didn't help. Of the two, salmon carpaccio was more flavorful because of cucumbers and capers. Hanger steak, in my opinion, was more juicy and flavorful than the duck breast. Menu mentioned that duck breast has bacon in it as well, so I was excited about that only to find a few tiny pieces of bacon in the small salad portion that comes with the dish. Creme brulee was really good but amaretto was very disappointing. The service was great. Nice staff. I think it's a bit on the pricey end. I was hoping for a little bit more quality food than what we got. Overall, it was a good experience.

Came here during restaurant week and loved the food! The ambiance is very nice and we were seated in the back patio. The food was delicious, I especially loved the seared Scallops dish- they were seared to perfection and it paired super well with the mashed potatoes, bacon, brussel sprouts and truffle sauce it was served with. I also really liked the Steamed Prince Edward island mussels! The Semifreddo all' amaretto was the perfect dessert to end the meal. Other dishes tried: Maine lobster broth, Dungeness crab salad, oysters, wild prawns, duck breast, and creme brulee! My only complaint is that I made a reservation through open table and when we arrived the host forgot to check us in. As a result our dinner was slightly interrupted since I got numerous of texts and even a call from the restaurant telling me that I was late for my reservation while I was dining. I told the staff and they were able to clear it up! A nice restaurant week meal with many courses! Wasn’t blown away so not sure if I’d come again anytime soon especially since it’s on the pricier side but it is a nice place with good food!

A wonderful French cuisine restaurant serving wonderful food. I had a great experience trying out some interesting twists on some classic dishes. The staff here is so knowledgeable and make great suggestions. I recommend the butterfish. Food I came here with my coworkers for a company dinner and we were all impressed with the food and liked it. Our waiter told us that one of the things that they incorporate into all their dishes is that nothing is deep fried, such as the calamari. For appetizers we got for the table some oysters, tartare, and grilled calamari. I really enjoyed the oysters as they were fresh. The grilled calamari was my next favorite. As my main, I got the butterfish that was wrapped in a crisp crust per the staffs recommendation. The fish was so soft and tender and cooked to perfection. Crème brulee was also sooooo good. Atmosphere There are tables in the back of the restaurant that are enclosed from the outside and have space heaters. Unfortunately our tables heater was broken so it was pretty cold. I love the greenery though. Noise level was alright inside this space until we had a group of rowdy drunk people just starting yelling and laughing uncontrollably. Looked like they were celebrating something big. Pricing Reasonable pricing for the French style cuisine served. It is on the pricier side though. Overall, the price for quality and level of service was worth it. Service The service was excellent. The staff are all long standing veterans at the establishment and know the menu inside out and have great recommendations. Food came out promptly and in order. Other There are a lot of other restaurants in the area so make sure to look out for the sign. No parking really in the area.

The food was delicious indeed. We got 2 appetizer and 3 mains for 4 people, and id say their average portion is really small compared to other regular restaurants. The outdoor patio is really cute and feels safe. HOWEVER, the service is really bad. The servers were not kind at all, frowning every time we ordered something as if he wants us just to eat and leave. Also, we ordered a regular ‘coke’ and he got us a diet coke, without notifying us that their only coke option is diet coke. It would have been better if we knew that beforehand, but the server only told us that they dont have a regular coke WHEN we asked him the coke doesnt taste regular coke. Yeah, the service we got was very unfriendly and unpleasant experience.

Came here for SF restaurant week. Overall very nice experience and our server was really great and fun to talk to. I was a huge fan of their duck and steak! A bit on the pricier side but a nice place to go when you want to treat yourself.

Came here for restaurant week, so it was a little busier than usual. I would say for the price we paid, it was pretty worth. 4 courses for $68 and a complimentary drink. Although the price was good, I don’t think there was anything special about the place. The food was good, but nothing standout, in my opinion. Service was great though and the atmosphere is on point.

Great find. Unassuming entrance but once inside it is a totally different experience. Beautiful open air area with subtle lighting and heaters. Casual atmosphere. Wait staff and owner were very friendly and offered excellent recommendations. The sea bass wrapped in potato was beautiful. Scallops with the truffle oil were exquisite. Just the right amount of seasoning. Best desert on the menu was the semifreddo amaretto.

Food was all quite good, but our dinner for 4 took us almost 3 hours due to the speed of the service. I don’t believe we got our drinks until almost 45 minutes after we sat down, and our food probably came an hour and half after we sat down. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had such slow service/ food. That being said, it was good, and our server was nice so it’s not like this a 1-star place or anything.

With so many places to eat in San Francisco, I have to say this was one of my favorites. The food was really good, ambiance was on fleek, granted we were the last party to arrive at 9:45pm, and service was impeccable (thank you Priscilla). We had anyone and everyone waiting on us. Never had a dirty plate on the table or an empty glass. The manager even came by to say hello and check in on us. This is what we ordered, and ALL was delicious and generous in size. Shockingly the bill was just $160 pre tip. Corkage is included in that total and was only $26 per bottle. Butter Lettuce Salad Yellowtail Hamachi Hangar Steak Truffle Risotto Side of Brussel Sprouts Port Wine Trio of ice cream I would DEFINITELY come back again! We walked from our condo so didn’t experience parking issues, but looking at the surroundings, parking can be tight. Take an uber!

Nice little restaurant with European vibes in the service and the dishes. The food was good, small portions but good quality and well prepared. The service was friendly and felt they were looking after us even though it was a packed Saturday night.

I loved the vibe of this place. Don't skip it based on its small entrance. They have a large seating area at the back with nice outdoor lights and heating. I came here for my office team dinner. It was a big party of 20. Our server "Dean" was a gem. He gave us a star intro of the place and took care of all our specific dietary restrictions. The chef here makes everything fresh on order. For starters we ordered multiple servings of everything. Being vegetarian I loved their creamy goat cheese with smoked bread. Others very much enjoyed their scallops and all sea food items. They tasted extremely fresh and flavorful. In the main course I tried the Spaghetti. The flavors of tomato sauce and garlic with el-dante spaghetti made this dish great. They have limited vegetarian options, I would go back to this place in a party of more than 4 people where there is a mix of diet so I get multiple options at the table.

Finding this place was a highlight of my trip. Incredible service and ambiance. And the food was exquisite. The “limited time only” beef short ribs were other worldly! I will 100% come back and recommend to my family and friends!

This is my old time favorite dating spot for a very long time. They changed the ownership and the atmosphere still good. However, food quality wasn’t as good as before. Mussels and squid are so tiny. They used to have very good quality of seafood. Steak is average and greasy. Seafood pasta was little be salty but taste fine. Hope to see some improvement next time.

Came here to celebrate my 6-Year wedding anniversary with my wife. We had such a great time. Service was amazing, and the food was even more so. The menu was fantastic. The chef truly spent his time with it. Will definitely be coming back. The host was nice enough to provide my wife and I a couple of celebratory shots for our anniversary as well.

This is THE place to take a date. Great food. Great service. And be sure to sit on the back patio.

Excellent food, service, ambiance. Very good and varied gluten free options. Hard to find service this good anywhere. Food was cooked precisely— lettuce was great on the salad, steak was temped to the degree. Very good martini. A rarity to find a restaurant this well orchestrated at any price.

Amazing French Cuisine. The server is friendly, the food is so delicious, fresh and tasty. The Rack of Lamb is one of the best dishes i’ve had in SF. They were flexible and substituted the veggies for me w/mashed potatoes, turned out great. The Roasted potatoes, Truffle Risotto and the Flourless chocolate cake all tasted great !! Recommend for sure.

Good restaurant, confusing menu. Got our order mixed up. And although the food was delicious, the portions were small for the price you pay. The service was great otherwise.

Wow! This place has such a European vibe, a nice little gem in the marina. I came here for dinner with some friends and we were blown away! The service was fantastic; although they were busy we were greeted warmly and the staff was so pleasant and made us feel so comfortable and welcome during our time. We were given a wide selection of drinks and were explained everything on the menu. The risotto is probably the best I've ever had. Such rich flavors and the truffle oil doesn't overpower the rest of the flavors. This was my first time having scallops and I think I'm in love! So buttery and the sauce was so creamy! The seabass blew us away, the flavors were exquisite! The potato was so thin but kept shape nicely. And everything was prepared fresh, so the food was hot and flavorful. The himachi was also so fresh, I loved the addition of the jalapeño! The manager came often to our table to make sure we were okay and recommended the flourless cake for dessert which I highly recommend as well! It was so light and delicious! I think the food was well worth the price and we had such an enjoyable evening. I was so satisfied and am definitely coming back here again!!

We love this restaurant. The service is beyond amazing (ask for dean). The food is delicious and we could not have asked for a better last night in San Francisco. Get the oysters, the truffle pasta and the tuna ceviche!

Wonderful food but the host wouldn't allow us to sit where we wanted outside in the street toward the barricade instead of the sidewalk because there were just two of us. Those tables for 4 were still empty when we left. However our server Johnathan was fabulous and made our evening fun. Food is excellent.

Incredible food. Top-notch service. We got the scallops and the duck; both were insanely good. For desert, we tried the creme brulee and Gelato with biscotti, which were also both fantastic. Highly recommend.
