"Eight of us dined here again, although it was my 1st visit. I am a vegetarian who also does not eat foods made of eggs, so I sometimes have very limited options dining out. That was the case, unfortunately, for me at Isa's. After viewing the menu the day before, I even had called ahead to explore options....but all their vegetarian entrees are made with eggs..."

"Instead of dining in the seaport district, as we usually do on Mem. day weekend, we decided to look for something more interesting. I had read about Isa recently, so even though they do not take reservations we had no trouble being seated when we arrived early on Sun. evening. The location is in a very low key area, just west of downtown.Nothing much els..." Read more

"Most of the time we like to try different restaurants everytime we go to Portland, but this time, we visited Isa for the second time. The first time was so memorable that we kept wanting to go back and make sure it wasn't a fluke. I don't often have octopus, but the last time we were there, we got that dish and it was the best octopus I had ever eaten...." Read more

"Isa is a super cute little restaurant with some really delicious food. We went here a couple weeks ago to try out a new place for dinner.We arrived at about 8PM for dinner and were the only group waiting for a table, which was good as there is not much waiting room inside. The hostess was very kind and offered us some drinks while we waited. She pers..." Read more

"I came solo and enjoyed a fantastic, delicate and flavorful hash of the day: pulled lamb.
I was skeptical at first. I don't wake up thinking "ok yep time for pulled lamb." But the dish really won me over.
And their house made sodas-- unique flavor combinations, not overly sweet, really impressive.
Not to be missed for brunch."

"Love this restaurant - great menu choices and all fresh and local!! There were 4 of us and we ordered a few starters to share - gilled octopus, beet salad and brussel sprouts. We each ordered a main course and shared one dessert. We will be back for sure!!"

"What a GREAT spot, off the beaten path in Portland. Was in town on a solo business trip and stopped by for lunch. The lobster stew/chowder was off the charts and the lamb sandwich a real stand out. Warning - don't go here alone, the menu is awesome. One more HUGE shout out - the service is off-the-charts and truly appreciated. I left my hat at the bar a..." Read more

"Steak frites this weekend was absolutely delightful. Flank marinated in Mexican coca cola and red wine, plus beatifully cooked frites with just a hint of beef juice. Unfortunately the attractive branch of broccoli raab, one of my favorite veggies, was drastically undercooked in the stem area. Neither teeth nor steak knife were able to penetrate it. Because t..."

"Food was amazing, ambiance was wonderful, service was great. Highly recommend this place. I had the Eggplant Lasagna and absolutely loved it! It was incredibly flavorful and quite rich. Plated beautifully. We also started with the Lamb Meatballs in Green Sauce. Meatballs were tender and juicy and the green sauce was incredible, truly unique flavor. I could h..." Read more

"Inadequate to say it’s my new favorite go-to dinner spot in Portland. Rabbit and halibut entrees were astounding. Balanced, perfectly seasoned and cooked."

Seriously some of the best food I have ever eaten. Not just for Portland, but my entire 33 years walking this Earth! Lamb meatballs were the most tender meatballs I've ever had. We were unsure what..." Read more

"This is a fairly small restaurant with seating for mostly a group of 2/4. If you have a party, plan ahead! I overheard from another bigger party, they don't accept reservations. We ended up waiting for an hour, but it was worth it. The service was great. The food was even better. They have a limited menu, but food arrived pretty quickly. My group decided to..." Read more

"Impressed by the quality and quantity of their food. After attempting to find a restaurant during the popular Sunday brunch hour of 11 am, we stumbled across Isa. My husband ate their lamb sandwich, stating it was a special experience. The table next to us wanted to know what he was eating because of the blissful face he made while eating. We combined th..."

"Shared the panzanella salad and the cod fritters. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The cod fritters were perfectly fried on the outside and tasty and creamy-like on the inside. The eggplant Parm lasagna wasn't bad but not exactly what I expected. Shared a coconut cream pie for desert that was delicious! Perfect amount of coconut and cream with coconu..." Read more
