Reviews
Spent a few days in Maine and were fortunate to discover a great family run neighborhood bistro called Isa. The food and service were truly amazing, so we ate there two nights in a row on our trip.
The Lobster Tostada and Crispy Potato Taquitos were fun appetizers, for our meal we enjoyed the Seared Duck, Short-rib Pasta and the amazing Eggplant Lasagna.
A true find, hope that you wil enjoy it as much as our family did.
Great little place with such good food. I rendezvoused with my family at Isa - Our wait person was friendly and suggested some of the dishes we ordered. Great addition to Portland cuisine!! (some samples: Burrata with citrus and pistachios, Octopus with chickpeas & Halibut in a fish broth with corn - so good!)
We LOVED eating here. The patio was perfect, food was absolutely delicious, service was great. Would definitely go back! We had a hard time deciding on what to order so we shared everything. Chef's kiss!
Wow, what a wonderful dinner at isa, we had a great dinner. I was drinking some margarita and had some nice tostada as a starter and the halibut as main dish- that was really great, the portions wasn’t to large and looking like an artwork. As a dessert I got a blueberry cheesecake. As well you should definitely make a reservation. Only four stars on the Ambiente because it was very loud and sometimes I had to scream at my friends but anyways I would definitely recommend this! Great team and hope to get a place there soon again.
Review
Amazing experience!!! From beginning to end everything was on point. Started with drinks, a cosmo and a cucumber tequila with elderflower and lime (refresh) - perfect summertime libation. Next came our appetizers. A crab cake with arugula and the lobster tostada. The lobster tostada was an unexpected flavor explosion, nothing like it! For dinner we had the seared halibut and blackened bluefish. Both were delicious. The halibut was soft with a pearly translucence served on a bed of mashed rhubarb and asparagus Bluefish was succulent and zesty (not spicy) with a tomato bisque base on top of corn and zucchini bits. We paired both of the dishes with a white Bordeaux. We finished the evening with the gluten free caramel drizzled triple chocolate decadence. It was heaven. Staff was engaging, service was outstanding. We will return again!
We had an excellent experience at Isa Bistro. Great wine list with many unique varietals. The real stand out was the Mexican Style Branzino served with homemade corn tortillas.
Lovely restaurant! Great service, drinks, and wonderful food. The eggplant lasagna is a must try!
The restaurant is located in a historic building in the heart of Portland's West End neighborhood. The interior is warm and inviting, with exposed brick walls, tile floors, and tin ceilings. The dining room is small and intimate, with only about 20 tables. There is also a small outdoor patio that is perfect for dining al fresco on a warm day.
Overall, Isa Bistro is a great restaurant that I would highly recommend. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you're looking for a special place to enjoy a meal in Portland, Isa Bistro is the perfect choice.
This restaurant is special. We sat inside and enjoyed the tile floors and Tim roof which gave it a classic feel. There is outdoor dining available. The ingredients were selected with care as was the service. Available but not oppressive. We had a salad and chose the ribs and linguine dish. Bother we’re flavorful and well presented. If you have the opportunity, dinner here is quite wonderful.
