Isa's Bistro - Asheville

2nd time dinner, as good as it was the 1st time as disappointing it was the 2nd time. Lobster mac, cold lobster parts that were chewy. Boom boom shrimp were not fresh. Waitress was excellent, guy serving the food was lost. Will not go back here.

Visited for conference cocktail hours. Too noisy and not many food options! Not sure why this place was chosen.

Food was subpar at best. Dry, lacked seasoning and poor quality. Our server was awesome and drinks were good. Would not recommend and will not be back.

Isa’s had a lot of potential. We chose it because it appeared to be a cute French restaurant. After being seated, we ordered drinks and then placed our orders for appetizers and entrées—two of each for our party of four. The drinks and appetizers arrived within 15 minutes, but we had to wait an hour and a half for our entrées, which consisted of a salad and ravioli. Due to the lengthy delay, we decided to get the check and take our food to go. However, it took another 30 minutes for the food to arrive after we had already received the check. The server mentioned that the kitchen was backed up but didn’t offer an apology or further explanation. When our food was finally packed up, she simply placed it on the table and walked away without a word. Again, Isa’s has great potential, but waiting an hour and a half for a salad and ravioli is unacceptable.

First was greeted by someone that looked very messy and sloppy, not what I expected for any restaurant let alone a French restaurant. The atmosphere was blah and the food was edible. My experience was not at all what I expected. Will not recommend or return.
