    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.

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

    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!

    Beautiful cocktails

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

Pretty cool to know that they have been rated as one of the 50 best bars in the WORLD. That's a pretty big achievement to accomplish. Parking can be tricky, you may find street parking. If not you can park at the lot by the beach. Other than that, you should be right on your way to having a great night.

The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor patio with a fun South Beach vibe, and I can see why so many people enjoy spending time there. The service was friendly and attentive, which made for a pleasant experience. Many online reviews also praise the lively ambiance and consistently good service. (Tripadvisor⁠) As someone who doesn't eat meat, I appreciated that there were vegetarian options available. I ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh but fairly ordinary and lacked the flavor I was hoping for. It was good, just not memorable. Overall, The Social Club is worth visiting for the atmosphere, drinks, and people-watching, but I expected more from the food. I'd consider going back for the vibe, though I'd probably try something different from the menu next time.
