your new digs. your new hood.

Isa opened its doors at 348 Wythe Avenue, and South 2nd, about eight months back has since only solidified its singular status, serving an enticing and distinctive menu of ‘New American’ cuisine which includes delicious and intriguing dishes like whole sardines with olives, rib-eye with dandelion & mushroom and squid with crushed capers and ink (see below).  After my first attempt to dine at this establishment ended in my walking away from a projected 1-hour wait time, my second, and more recent, visit found me comfortably seated and served in a timeframe of comparatively painless duration.    The wait-staff and service is impeccable, I would find, as is the decor and furnishing – wholly suitable for the neighborhood.  The division of space is an architectural masterstroke, as are the strategically-placed long wooden tables, ideal for large parties.  In a fortuitous instance of great talents uniting, I’m told that the restaurant apparently had its interior furnished and drawn up by ‘From The Source‘, one of the essential furniture spots I myself called deserved attention to in an earlier entry.  Check out reviews for ISA on Yelp; ISA’s official website also provides additional information.
