A treasure of haute cuisine in San Francisco's Marina District, Isa specializes in deeply-flavored and elegant French fare that is served in a simple, unpretentious California style. Share a romantic dinner in the front room, where the soft light from pewter lamps and hanging lanterns illuminates beautiful wooden floors and artistically distressed walls, or breathe in the energy of Isa's spacious back patio. Protected from the crisp California night air by a chic, white patio cover and plenty of heat lamps, Isa's back patio is ideal for large group gatherings or intimate conversations.

Share a small feast of family style plates from Isa's acclaimed menu, which changes seasonally to include only the freshest ingredients. Isa is one of the San Francisco Chronicle's "Top 100 Bay Area Restaurants," one of NYC Magazine's "Best Restaurants in Cities Around the Nation," and the list of accolades goes on. Isa's menu takes advantage of the Bay Area's abundant, fresh seafood with dishes like Seared Dayboat Scallops with asparagus, potato puréee and truffle jus de poulet ($17.50). Fresh produce stars in the creamy Crushed Truffle Risotto, punctuated with baby shiitake and hon shimjii mushrooms and sharp reggiano cheese ($17.50).

Isa's rich Hudson Valley Grade A Foie Gras pairs perfectly with a custard brioche and sweet mangoes ($19). Other favorites include the grilled Golden Gate natural angus Flat Iron Steak ($20) and the Flourless Chocolate Cake served with vanilla bean gelato ($7). When paired properly with a bottle of wine from Isa's phenomenal wine list, these sophisticated dishes may prompt those who do not already speak French to ask their server, "How do you say 'my compliments to the chef' en français?"
