"This was our third visit to Isa--and we have a LOT of choices in San Francisco for exceptional restaurants, but this is a gem to which we keep returning. The staff is friendly and helpful, the dishes arrive hot; we ordered appetizers and soup/salads and then main courses. One thing I've disliked in some restaurants is when you are hurried through a course--not so here. everything was timed perfectly, and the food was fantastic. I had the hanger steak cooked to perfection, the potatoes were crispy on the outside and melted on the inside, the zucchini was great--not soggy or overcooked. We'll be back!"
