    Veal
    Sherry T.

    A little on the pricey side but nice setting, gorgeous inside and out, with great service and delicious food. The serving sizes are also a little small and the food was more expensive but maybe that's because of the location. The orange cake was decadent and yummy and the oysters were fresh and delicious. If you want a big meal, the veal is the dish for you. It was enormous!! But overall a good dining experience.

    Restaurants on Lincoln Road are a hit or miss, a mainly miss. Issabella's fortunately was a pleasant experience. The service was mediocre and very slow. I sat inside, it was quite empty with only one table across from me being served. Food was good 7 out 10. They have happy hour after 3pm daily and the menu is pretty diverse. I may give them another try. The decor is very nice, chic and comfortable. Only miss is that the bathrooms are all upstairs. I have a slight disability therefore walking up those steep stairs is a no for me. Hoping the next I decide to come, I'll have similar to a better overall experience.

    Truffle carbonara

    First of all let me start by saying the ambiance here is so beautiful and romantic, the best part is this place is in Lincoln Rd perfect spot to people watch during the day and have a romantic dinner at night. The food and service is amazing, if you visit you need to get that truffle carbonara pasta wow I could eat 14 of those. They served my spicy margarita in a chilled red pepper and I thought that was such a unique touch. Everything tasted incredible but definitely do not leave without trying that truffle pasta and the Greek cake, thank me later!

    Had the grilled shrimp, and lamb meatball bowl, both were excellent. Lovely lunch outside, nice fan and beautiful music

    Best meal that we've had in a long time!! So good that we originally just stopped by for happy hour and left to walk around and see what else was near by and came back for our dinner!! For happy hour we sat outside and had a drink and the Caprese salad. It was a little slow so we had excellent service by our server and all the other staff just making sure we had everything we wanted. When we came back and are so freaking glad we did. They brought out crostini and olive tapenade and it was so delicious. We started with the Gambas al Ajillo and it was incredible. I could have licked the bowl clean. My husband ordered the swordfish and he said it was fantastic so I tried it (I'm not a big fish person) HOLY CRAP! It was incredible!! I ate over half of his fish. I ordered the Spicy Rigatoni which was good, but I'd prefer more sauce than it came with. If you're in Miami and want an incredible meal! This is it!! 100% recommend Isabella's!

    Caviar

    As south beach locals, we love Issabella's. Friendly service (ask for Jose), great outdoor vibe on Lincoln rd with fascinating people watching, and the food is excellent Mediterranean fare with prices not crazy by SoBe standards. Their caviar service is our favorite in town.

    I wish I would have taken more photo... this is a small glimpse of the beautiful decor and vibe of the restaurant.

    Chic, elegant, and delicious! The ambiance was welcoming, the service was on point, and the vegetable linguine was chef's kiss. The bar ran out of two drinks we ordered, but these things happen and the rest of the experience more than made up for it. Highly recommend!

    Orange cake

    There's a gorgeous Mediterranean restaurant on Lincoln road that you have to visit. They have beautiful candlelit tables, live music on Saturdays, and of course great food and drinks. Like the cucumber picante and the gorgeous clover club. Our waiter/server (Thomas) said we had to try their lamb meatballs that sits on a gorgeous bed of tzatziki. I wanted to drink that sauce. Now Thomas also told us that the octopus was a must and that it would be so tender we could cut it with a spoon. He wasn't wrong. For dinner we opted for the daily fish which is served tableside with a side of fresh paccheri pasta. Thomas expertly sliced and prepped the fish ensuring not one bone was left behind. With a squeeze of lemon. We melted. Which reminds me we also had this orange cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you know I wasn't going to miss out on the pavlova. Seal the deal with a quick shot of limoncello and thank me later.

    Chicken skewers

    The Mediterranean vibe at Issabella's will make you feel like you're a world away from Lincoln Road. Charmingly decorated with painted tiles and wrought-iron railings the vibe reminded me of the summer I spent in Maiori. The food lives up to the experience too. Drawing from Greece, Spain and Italy, the varied menu has something for everyone no matter their appetite or diet restrictions. I had the delightfully seasoned chicken skewers, and it was the perfect lunch item to go with my glass of Albariño. I look forward to tucking in there in the future and being pampered by the efficient and warm staff.

    This was a really good fine. We were going to the colony theater and it was so close by we thought we stopped in. I did read the yelp and everybody seems to like it and they were 100% right we had a really lovely waitress Issa she was exceptionally nice helpful professional everything you want in a waitress. I had the cauliflower. It was delicious as was the pasta dish. We also had the Greek salad that was good pears salad that was delicious. French fries were really crisp and good The bread was delicious. We also had the tuna tartare which we really enjoyed and then coffee was good. It was really a good experience on Lincoln Road.

    Issabella's is a wonderful brunch spot. First and foremost, we had the absolute kindest, most patient server, Onur, who had the biggest smile on his face. He made our brunch experience a 10/10. The location is perfect as it's located inside Lincoln road (with plenty of parking), and they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We arrived first thing on a Saturday morning and were able to choose our preference for seating without a reservation. We opted to sit inside (the vibes are great) and the bar/ coffee area has its own aesthetic. We tried a few things off the menu and everything from flavor to presentation was absolutely wonderful. The staff and manager on site were all hands on which I personally think is amazing (everyone working as a team). Huge thanks to Onur for his amazing service!!

    Inside

    Had the most amazing dinner here on my trip to Miami! The restaurant is conveniently located in the Lincoln Rd outdoor mall. The interior is gorgeous - I've never been to Greece but eating here transported me to what I imagine it would be like. We started with the meze platter, which came with normal hummus, Muhammara (spicy hummus), and tzatziki sauce and fresh laffe bread for dipping. We ended up getting a second piece of bread! For entrees, my fiance got the chicken skewers and I got the pesto pasta - both were excellent! The shining star was the service - everyone working there had a very welcoming and positive attitude, and they were amazingly attentive to detail. I saw a waiter going to each empty table to check that the wine glasses were spotless when held up to the light - what quality!

    Isabella's platter
    Allyssa P.

    The girls and I were walking around and wanted tapas and drinks. Issabella's looked so welcoming. We were seated right away and lucky us, it was happy hour! I started with their margarita and it was on the water-y side. We ordered the Isabella's platter, the spicy feta dip and the calamari. Our least favorite was probably the calamari. Batter wasn't super crispy. The Isabella's board was a nice way to sample a little bit of everything. The aranchini is packed with seafood flavors. The potato like bread was good and the Spanish tortilla was interesting. Th the favorite dish amongst us five was easily the spicy feta dip. It was delicious and had a hint of spice, we could've used more. Lol It was a nice little happy hour in between shopping!

You know how some restaurants blast music so loud you end up yelling at the table? Not here. The music was at the perfect level where we could actually talk and enjoy each other. Any time I needed something, someone was right there to help. No chasing servers down, no attitude, just genuinely great service. Now the food. 20 out of 10. Honestly, everything was delicious. Not a single miss. The drinks though? 100 out of 10. Dangerous in the best way. Our waitress, I wish I remembered her name, was incredible. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and we loved everything she suggested. I would absolutely recommend this place, but part of me wants to keep it a secret because the vibe is just that good. If you're looking for amazing food, great drinks, and an overall great experience, this is it.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

    Opened in early 2020 right before the pandemic hit. The place weirdly enough just claimed the title…read moreof America's highest grossing independent restaurant (idk how I feel about that). We asked to sit downstairs where the DJ starts around 11PM. The energy was great with incredibly comfortable and spacious seating. There was a 2 hour limit at the table, but we moved to the bar after our meal. Loved the caviar potato as an appetizer, and the beef tenderloin literally melted in my mouth. The downstairs scene gets pretty loud just an FYI. Service was top notch. Seems pretty trendy and mainstream, but definitely worth it.

    Mila is undeniably gorgeous and absolutely the place to be seen for dinner -- but as a brunch…read moredestination, it left me longing for the Setai. Let's start with the good, because credit where it's due: the food is genuinely excellent, particularly the fish and seafood, which were the clear stars of the spread. And our server, while I'll get to a quibble shortly, was fun, warm, and thoroughly professional. Now the rest. Brunch should feel like a leisurely indulgence, not a contact sport. The meat station had a queue of 20+ people at peak -- I came for great food, not a deli ticket. The space is crowded and genuinely hard to navigate. Champagne required actively hunting down a server, whereas the Setai simply leaves a bottle at your table and lets you breathe. Coffee is $7 a cup -- at a brunch of this price point, charging for coffee feels a little cheeky. Then there was the pacing. Well before our two hours were up, our (otherwise lovely) server began the gentle wrap-up and produced the bill -- which is a curious energy for a "linger and enjoy" brunch. And we were charged an extra 2% as a "large party" of seven... at a buffet. Where we served ourselves. I'm still working out the math on that one. If you want a beautiful setting, live music, better drinks, attentive service, and zero queues, the Setai brunch wins -- every single time. Mila, save it for the nightlife.
