    The restaurant was great. Food was farm to table using local products. Had the restaurant week menu and everything was outstanding. The chef blended spices and produce to achieve amazing flavors. The service was awesome, the servers were attentive and professional.

    Not a very busy night mid-week on a cold day. Service was prompt and attentive. Food is excellent. The only knock is the menu doesn’t change. I am sure they could offer additional wonderful stuff seasonally. But a great place to go nonetheless.

    We were there the day after Christmas. Our family was together for the first time in far too long. We were celebrating not only the holidays, but also wrapping up a 30-year career as well as closing out a challenging health year. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. While the entrees were excellent {Pork Chop, Short Rib, Hangar Steak & Stuffed Trout}, the sides were spectacular! Chef stopped by our table and, when my husband raved about the succotash, mentioned that it took an hour and a half to create. We noted and appreciated the attention to every course!

    We were so thankful to have a place to eat on Christmas Day for dinner. The food was good but due to it being buffet style it was a little cold. But the service was amazing. Thank you Isa’s for being open and serving us!
