It was amazing. The service and food was great. Would highly recommend.

The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some guests enjoying the food and ambiance, while others experienced poor service and unwanted food items. The French-California cuisine was praised, with signature dishes receiving high marks. The atmosphere was described as charming, albeit with some areas that could use improvement. Friendly staff and unique dishes like sea bass wrapped in potato were highlighted positively. Despite some issues with service and seating arrangements, the overall consensus seemed to be that Isa was worth a visit for those seeking high-quality food in a cozy setting.
