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! "

"Isa's French bistro is amazing! Dinner was excellent and so delicious. We had the best time. Ordered the duck which so tender and bursting with flavor, it was accompanied by a delicious fried rice. Other's in the table ordered the award winner prime rib, the scallops and the salmon. All looked amazing and everyone loved their selection. Had the parmesan fries, steak tartare and the mushrooms for appetizers. Atmosphere was great and very fun and casual for a French restaurant. It was not stuffy or snobby at all. They even had French music playing. Our group loved Isa's so much that we went back the next day for breakfast and two days later for brunch. Both were also spectacular. Isa's Bistro is a step above all the other Asheville restaurants in the surrounding area."

"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 service wasn't over pushy and still attentive. The food was great value for the price."

"Best lunch spot downtown! 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!!!"

"Excellent does not do enough justice. Nice atmosphere and the food is absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend."

"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. "

"The food was fantastic! Our server was attentive also. We went back here twice while visiting from out of town. It'll be on my favorite list forever."
