Best Restaurants for Anniversaries in Bayview

Seated on time , service was great. Everyone enjoyed their meal

Fantastic! My first time eating here in years, and the food and overall experience were even better than I remembered. The meats are all perfectly seasoned, hot, and freshly seared -- one member of our party wanted beef that was a little more well-done, and they made it special for her. Salad / appetizer bar is one of the best in the city. Service was friendly and fun. Would definitely come back.

This was a really great experience, a place to dine rather than just eat. I was somehow recognized upon check-in at the host stand, called by name before I could even say hello. The manager who greeted me out of the elevator up said "welcome Chef", which made it very clear they had at least googled my name or my profile. The level of detail was excellent. I wish the space was more full, 8 pm on a Friday the bar had two patrons at it, no one in the front lounge area, and 1/3 of the tables were empty... this was an experience that deserved to have more people enjoying it! (not sure how people are supposed to do a bar / lounge though if the only menu is price fix, but I digress). Standout dishes were the Prawn with Crispy Nori "Taco", the Dumpling Trio (especially loved the texture of the pumpkin dumpling), and the Noodles on the main course. The steamed Halibut was a bit over and flavors were meh. The added Crispy Skin Peking Duck supplement ($50) was room temperature / slightly cool to the bite, and it would have 1000X better if it had been at least warm. The Duck supplement was also an added dish to the "main course" consisting of 4 family style dishes, and I think as a diner, and out of respect to the work to make such a delicious and labor intensive dish, it could be and should be celebrated as a course on its own. The lotus root that came with the main family style dishes was tasty as hell but unfortunately got lost in the mix, and I'm disappointed I never circled back on it before being a bit too full to endeavor more of it. As a veteran of very fine dining cooking, I was surprised a sweet bite wasn't part of the 6 course meal to finish, and that all deserts were a la carte priced in addition to the price fix. We declined desert, and again was surprised there was not any mignardise served with the check, as a touch of sugar out the door. None of these faults would stop me from booking this experience for a special night out at all. Great Night!

Isa is truly a gem of a restaurant, one of our favorite places. The food is always fantastic, the service is outstanding, and the ambiance, especially on the back patio, is special. There are two waiters that have been working there for over 20 years each, and they are the best! Also, the owner comes by to check on the guests and makes sure everyone is happy. This weekend we came for my mother's 92nd birthday, and they made it a very special night, they were so attentive and made her feel special. We all loved our meals (seabass, lamb, duck and truffle risotto). Highly recommend!

Great classic restaurant with beautiful art nouveau decor. The food, while not innovative, will be the best representation of whatever they're serving. So good! I loved the selection of wines by the glass, and the cocktails were also amazing. Again, they do the classics so perfectly, you won't want to go anywhere else for it. Definitely recommend for a special occasion, or hang out at the bar for a beautiful, calm spot to unwind after a long day of work or play.
