Dining room at Isa, San Francisco, CAThere are two ways to enjoy owner-chef Luke Sung’s French-style tapas menu at Isa. There's a modern and boisterous front room that spills out onto a Marina district sidewalk. Or there's the romantic alternative---the roomy, bi-leveled back patio lined with greenery, flowering bushes and strategically placed heat lamps. Polite and well-versed servers will happily walk you through the dozen or so small plates that make up the interesting menu. Try the mound of plump mussels rising up from a pungent broth the demands a side of bread for sopping up every last drop. Take a pass on the bland discs of goat cheese with tomatoes and pine nuts. Try instead the potato-wrapped sea bass with caper-specked brown butter that is earthy without being too heavy.
