Testimonials from our Private Dining Customers
“We hosted 67 people at Isa for our son’s welcome/rehearsal dinner on Friday, October 8th. Dinner guests included the wedding party and out of town guests. The joy of the occasion, ambiance created by the setting, and delicious food proved a wonderful combination. We stayed until midnight. Guests commented all weekend about how much they had enjoyed the evening. It was a perfect “kick-off” for our wedding weekend!”
