A very cute French restaurant. Isa is located in the Marina area with all the restaurants and bar, parking on the street was limited. We we lucky to found a street parking at nearby residential area, just about 3 blocks from Isa.

I have to apologize for the dark pictures. It was pretty dark in Isa. Once you walked in, you will noticed a bar and few small tables across from it, that was where we were seated. Actually they have a back area, really cute! But it was booked for a private event that evening.

We opted for the 3 course Prix-Fix menu. The waiter told us everything on the menu was meant to be share. And yup, he was right! Portions were very generous for a French restaurant.

Complimentary bread were served. Warm and crusty with creamy butter!

Next comes our appetizer, I had the Grilled Local Calamari, and BF had the Steamed Mussels. I wasn't a big fan on my calamari, but boy, the mussels were extremely good. I used the Mussel sauce for the bread too. Portions were more than enough, more like a entree size.

Ok, by now, I was almost full! For the entree, I opted for the Truffle Risotto, and BF had the Angus Flat Iron Steak. The risotto was very fragrant! Love it! I didn't try the steak, BF said it was pretty good.

Finally, it was dessert time ... I was too full by now. But still, we ordered the Blue Cheese with Fruits and Currants, and Grapefruit Granite. The Blue Cheese was a little heavy for ending my meal, it was good, but too heavy for me. The Grapefruit Granite was perfect, light, real grapefruit flavor!

I had to take the risotto home, it became our next day dinner. Definitely a very nice little restaurant. I would love to come back!
