    Isa is, BY FAR, the absolutely best deal in SF Restaurant!! I have never found another option with the quality and number of choices for the price, so this is the only place I go during restaurant week. For example, my meal last night: 1) delicious, intense lobster broth(more like a bisque) with several shrimp; 2) dungeness crab salad with lettuce and apple; 4) duck breast with sauteed apple and greens; 4) amaretto semifreddi. How much did those 4 delicious courses (substantial in size) cost? $65.99!! If you miss this deal in Restaurant Week - go anyway! You can get the same items on their a la carte menu, and they have a smaller prix fixe option on weekdays. Highest recommendation!
