Asheville's French Bistro Restaurant

"This is my new favorite restaurant! The drinks, the food, and the service were all impeccable! The Duck is out of this world, and they have the BEST French onion soup I've ever had! "

"This place is a great date night location. It's fancy without being stuffy. The stuffed bears all around the restaurant added an element of whimsy to the fine dining experience. The champagne was crisp with a hint of apple and was the perfect complement to the truffle mac and cheese appetizer. The truffle mac and cheese was amazing and creamy. It makes you want to lick your plate. The lamb was cooked to perfection and I took the waiters recommendation to have it cooked medium and I do not regret it for a second. The sauce complimented the lamb well without overpowering it. My boyfriend had the duck l'orange. He liked it. It had an egg fried rice taste to it but it was delicious. We finished the night off with the mousse au chocolate and it was the most amazing chocolate cake I have ever had. It was so rich and decadent. The creme that finished it off was perfect. This restaurant is a definite revisit. "

"This restaurant is hands-down the best place to eat in downtown Asheville! We sat outside and the ambience was incredible. it truly felt like we were transported to Paris people watching while sipping a glass of vino. I had the duck confit which was fabulous! The menu is full of delicious, affordable options and the service was impeccable. Our server Jess was amazing. They also serve a lovely brunch on Sunday's and even offer live music certain days. I love this place and will be back very soon! highly recommend!!!"

"I booked a private room and had nothing except excellent customer service the whole time! From the start Kate, Britt and Isabelle were wonderful at helping make menu and decor decisions and made sure the contract was just right, even when I made multiple changes, they never made me feel like it was a burden. Liz, the manager, greeted me at the front door, took a big bin of decorations from me and refused to let me carry them, she showed us our room and introduced our staff making sure I knew she was available should we need her. But the stars of the evening were Craig and Zack, they took care of us all night and I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. They never let us want for anything, they kept us informed of each step and how long it would be before the next course was delivered, even covering my mistake when I forgot we had one Vegan guest, the Chef immediately produced a 3 course meal for her to enjoy. If you are considering hosting an event here I highly recommend you do it, they are true professionals!!! Oh and the food was excellent too! I will recommend Isa's to all my friends who visit Asheville. "

"Great food and service, friendly atmosphere. Had the duck l'orange and wife had chicken cordon bleu, she had escargot in marrow served in the bone, fantastic. Will be back "

"The food here is amazing! Mussels! Oh my Gawd! Delicious! I love love love this restaurant! We had salmon, duck, lamb chops, and filet!!!!!!!"

"Great food in a nice atmosphere. Staff was great and the food was perfect. We ate here for Valentine's Day and they managed the business really well. Didn't feel like it was too much like some places on Valentine's. Salmon was awesome and so were the scallops. We'll definitely eat here again the next trip. "

"It is rare for me to give 5 stars. The food, the lamb chops and the duck was well seasoned, the service was very good. The laid back atmosphere and the use of large teddy bears for social distance was lovely. The service wasn't over pushy and still attentive. The food was great value for the price. "
