This is one of my go to restaurants in the city. The food is always delicious, staff is attentive and friendly and I love the patio! Here are some of my favorites: love the steak dish-mouth watering, the salads are always I mean always good, I super enjoy the duck with whatever yummy sauce they use, the bread I can eat a whole loaf, the lamb is also outstanding. And for the grand finale the dessert because can’t go home without something sweet.

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.

A fantastic and lively little place for dinner! Every person who worked at this restaurant went out of their way to be kind and attentive to us during our visit, and the food was just as good. We had potato leek soup, roast chicken, and truffle risotto, followed by creme brûlée. Every dish was delicious! Certainly a restaurant worth revisiting to try all their specials too.

I came here with friends to celebrate my birthday, and everything was splendid. Sam was willing to answer to all my questions regarding the event prior to the dinner and reassured everything would be in place. Our waiter Dean had so much energy and walked us through every detail of options, suggestions for the meals and drinks! The service was very warm, and so was the back patio with cozy Christmas lights. Food and wine as recommended by Dean were scrumptious, and all my friends thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it! Everything is freshly made, and the restaurant takes the utmost care to ensure so. This restaurant has so much history and well-deserved rating (Dean had told us this place was highly reviewed alongside with the French Laundry just about three years since its opening). I look forward to making more memories and relishing amazing dishes in the future. Thank you for the amazing team for making my birthday dinner so memorable and heartfelt!

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.

Isa is the real deal, an instant favorite. There is no one here giving any less than their all, from the front door to the fantastic wait staff to the superb kitchen staff. We came for dinner during restaurant week and the experience was phenomenal. Every bite. If you need some direction the duck and the scallops were perfect.
