    Several times each year we return to The City for brief visits, and we always dine at Isa once or twice. It remains one of the best restaurants for really well-prepared meals served beautifully. This time we had the scallops and the halibut offerings, each prepared perfectly. Three nights ago we had duck confit and sweet breads (not always available); very different entrees, very delicious. And we almost always begin with steamed mussels. For Marina District dining, Isa remains our go to place.

    We went to support a local restaurant during Restaurant Week. The prix fixe menu had many choices and generous portions; the food was impeccably prepared and delicious. The service was warm and welcoming. We wished there were more French wines by the glass. A lovely evening in a space that was quiet enough for conversation, while still having a nice buzz.

    This was a four course prix fixe, but my friend's and my courses came out at different times, which was not great.
