"If anyone is ever in Portland, Maine, the restaurant Isa is worth checking out!! I ate an entire meal that was ketogenic/sugar-free friendly and I didn't even have to order OFF the menu or ask for substitutions!!! I got to feel like a totally normal person just ordering food. It was an amazing feeling. I started with the Brussels sprouts that were sauteed..." Read more

"Not very impressed for the price. Our seats were cramped and it was extremely loud. Nothing to dampen the noise, and it wasn't even that busy. The music added to the noise because it was too loud. I felt that the service was a little awkward. The table was so small, and I had to move things around multiple times to make room. The cheese plate was ok; I enjo..." Read more

"Went for brunch and the menu is small but everything that came out of the kitchen looked really good, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The place is intimate and has a nice atmosphere. My only complaint is that the drinks are expensive (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic)."

"Isa reminds me of a cute brunch spot located in Greenwich Village in New York. If you're not ordering an Eggs Benedict, toast of some sort, or something made solely with eggs, ARE YOU EVEN BRUNCHING?! I ordered the Eggs Benedict, with the addition of lobster (because it's Maine) and I actually asked for the bacon on the side. What I LOVED about Isa's Egg Ben..." Read more

"I'm usually reluctant to give a five star review to a restaurant after just one visit but our experience here was awesome. We came for Sunday morning brunch after the place we were originally were going to had a wait. The service was second to none with very friendly and helpful staff and the food was excellent. I had the lobster tacos which were delicious,..." Read more

"Isa is my favorite brunch place in town. The serving sizes are perfect for some of the heavier breakfast foods, and the twists to comfort breakfasts are wonderful. I typically get the pancakes, coffee and a mimosa. What better way to start a Saturday or Sunday?"

"I walked in here expecting to pay too much for an average new American-style brunch. My expectations were completely defied. Was completely blown away by how everything was made in house. Every plate was special. From the biscuits in the eggs Benny, to the braised rabbit hash, to the baked lemon pie, every detail was thoughtfully selected not just for aesthe..." Read more

"Lucked out finding this place, we had tried like 3 other places for brunch all with ridiculous lines and then we saw this unassuming spot and stuck our heads in. Very happy we did, we got seated immediately. Great food, lots of locally sourced produce, I had the hash special which was made with rabbit and was excellent, the meat wasn't gamey at all and was t..." Read more
