"This is really great cuisine like in Paris restaurants. The cooking of fish is at perfection to keep the perfect texture. The vegetables choice for each plate is great match. Service cares about you."

"Though not in any of Portland's more trendy dining areas, Isa Bistro is well worth the visit. Wonderful food at fair prices. Lovely bistro atmosphere and excellent service, plus parking is easy because the restaurant has it's own small lot. The pork chop is large, tender and flavourful, and the Bolognese is as good as my wife and I experienced anywhere in It..." Read more

"We went to celebrate our birthdays. Parking convenient behind the building. We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival. Nice seat for two near the window. Comfortable seating. Our server was one of two taking care of the dining room but they seem very efficient and we had no issues. He was friendly and attentive. My wife was not sure of the w..." Read more

"I've been to Isa 3 times so far. The ambience and décor is modern but cozy, it makes you feel at home. We sat at the bar twice and I recommend it. Their bartender is really nice and knows what he's talking about. The Cocktails are AMAZING. The Oxaca (Mezcal based) is ridiculously good. I ordered 3 of them last time! Their appetizers have been super on point...." Read more

"My friend and I dined here and we are both foodies. We chose this restaurant based on reviews and were not disappointed. Our octopus appetizer and fennel salads were perfectly prepared and fresh. We both ordered the Halibut and it was a health dish perfectly prepared. The service could not have been better. One important suggestion, it seems that many Portl..." Read more

"Delicious dinner at Isa this evening. We devoured every course with excitement to try the next. We enjoyed the Octopus, Mushroom Salad and Beet & Avocado for starters with some fluffy House Focaccia. The Tagliatelle Bolognese was seasoned perfectly and the house pasta was delicious. Triple Chocolate Cake, Tres Leches and Apple Tarte Tatin we’re all delicious..." Read more

"Set in a city that is a culinary dynasty, this small establishment certainly satisfies the palate. At first glance, it appears the portions are on the smaller side but every bite packs a punch and I think smaller portions let you savor every bite. Ingredients are local and menu switches depending on availability of Ingredients. You will find selections such..." Read more

"What a fabulous neighborhood bistro. Delicious food, interesting, well-priced wine and the best barman. We had the beet and quinoa salad, the rabbit pasta and duck ragu and the marscapone cheesecake. A perfect Sunday evening dinner."

"Isa is an amazing local Bistro.
A little hidden gem. Every dish is well thought out and the menu changes seasonally. The hibiscus margarita is the bomb. Must go here for a delicious meal my favorite are the Mexican seasonal specials!"

"We love Isa! Every time we go, the food is excellent, and the service is outstanding. Tonight, we had (out on the patio, which is lovely) their grilled octopus (have to have that!), mushroom salad, tagliatelle bolognese, steak frites, and a perfectly cooked hake over cauliflower and caper butter. Everything was great, and, again, the service was what you usu..." Read more

"Thoroughly enjoyed our fine dining experience here! Friendly staff; great service. We sat outdoors and the setup was lovely under a spacious tent. The heirloom tomato appetizer blew me away: prepared with goat cheese, peaches, and balsamic vinegar. Trust me on this one. My shrimp pasta was also very good; the fresh pasta especially...pretty sure it was made..." Read more

"We visited this place for dinner on a Sunday night, and boy, we weren't disappointed. From a completely terrible experience in downtown Portland for lunch, to this! The service was fast, efficient, and our server(Annika) was attentive to almost every need. Our octopus starter(x3) was delicious, with the chimichurri and herb blend giving it a wonderful flavor..."
