    We had such a nice dinner last Valentine's Day at Isa that we wanted to celebrate there again. And Isa did not disappoint. The four course menu for $99 had almost all of the dishes from their regular menu. For our first starter we tried the potato leek soup, and for the next course we tried the oysters (which the couple at the table next to us raved about) and the goat cheese with tomato and basil pesto. For our entrees we both had the roast chicken, which was perfect - crispy on the outside and most on the inside. Everything was delicious. For dessert we had the amaretto semifreddo which was also excellent. We will definitely be returning to Isa soon.
