Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Auburn

The food and service were great! Will definitely be returning.

The moment we walked into Isa we were met by the most friendly and welcoming people ever. The hostess / possibly owner, the bartender / possibly owner, and our server were truly thankful we were visiting Isa and treated us as such. The menu was not overwhelming but provided enough choices for everyone’s palate. The food was off the charts fantastic. Well prepared and artistically presented. For staters we had the grilled octopus with chickpeas. It was cooked perfectly. Our main meal was spiced shrimp with linguinis. The spices on the shrimp were very interesting and tasty but not too hot. We closed out with a very innovative and great tasting cheesecake with little bits of apple on top with a nice syrup or sauce. When in Portland Maine do not pass up Isa. It is truly a neighborhood gem.

Our first time here and we loved it. Love the small restaurant feel and the excellent food.

The hostess was amazing. It was family feud night and she made it clear how noisy it would be in the regular seating area and suggested we sit in the bar area instead which was perfect. The bartender was friendly and the food and drinks were really good. Wouldn’t expect anything else from these guys!

Worth the hour drive. Excellent service, pleasant family atmosphere and very good brunch options.
