Reviews for Isa Bistro in Portland, ME
Amazing place ! The food is incredible !! I?m in love with the octopus and the cheesecake with apples ???? The service is also... very good ! Nice discovery Read more
Lovely atmosphere. Smaller than it looks from the outside. Very warm inside in the fall. Food was good - pasta was good. Bread... good. Delicious dessert (best we?ve had in Portland) Halibut was insanely fishy and nearly under cooked. The service wasfriendly and gracious. We?d definitely go here again but might try other dishes.

Excellent food. We did not get a reservation for our preferred time and was later than we wanted. But aren?t we glad we decided... to wait! If they have the peach salad on the specials GET IT! Octopus was great and so were the croquettes. We got a seafoodmain which was also yum! Dessert was anti climactic by the super high standards of the rest of the meal, but still verygood. The one cocktail I got was good. Recommend making reservations. PS:don?t make your decision based on these photos Read more
Best octopus appetizer I have ever eaten. Other dishes were Michelin worthy. Wait staff and manager made us feel most welcome.... I look forward to returning. Read more

The service was great with attentive, inviting, and informative staff. All around, a great dining experience. We had the Grilled... Octopus as an appetizer, which was fresh and tasty. The marinated Bistro steak was well seasoned with a delicious potato gratin.The pork chop was also delicious. Lastly, the Mascarpone cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life. Definitelyrecommend. Read more
We went here on a whim for our anniversary dinner. It did not disappoint! We got a five star dining experience at an excellent... value. The food was amazing. For an appetizer we had the cod fritters. Our main course was the bolognese and the pasta rosso. Wepaired it with their Greek white wine. Lastly, we finished with their marscapone cheesecake. Everything was amazing! I'm notusually crazy about bolognese, but that dish was perfect. The cheesecake was also perfectly light and delicious. On top of theamazing food, the server was super professional and nice. He made it feel like a very high class restaurant, which was a niceambiance for our anniversary. Overall, I can't speak highly enough about this restaurant. If there was a six star option, theywould get it. Read more
Fantastic. Great cocktails that were actually reasonably priced. We started with the lobster crostini, and then had the pork... chop and short rib. Everything was great. Read more
