Jumbo Coconut Shrimp and a list of Street Cart items will have you coming back to try them all, whether you order something “to go” from our walk-up counter, stay to eat on our spacious outdoor patio, or take a seat inside.Coconut Club’s décor evokes a celebration of Mission Beach’s nautical and maritime past, which takes form as an inspired interpretation of a 30’s-style sailor tiki club. Rum is the star here, and has a leading role in our creative list of grownup cocktails, which includes shareable, tiki-inspired punches and bowls to drum up conversations and generate a buzz. Coconut Club is also a purveyor of fuel that fires the craft beer frenzy, with 20 local and microbrew tap handles.

My Nonna's name was Isola, a wonderful cook who gave me a passion for food and fresh, simple ingredients.I have vivid memories of my grandmother turning plain bread into amazing desserts, simple apples into incredible fritters sprinkled with a little sugar and honey, and even treating my sunburns with olive oil. Thirty years later, I still savor every meal and moment.Isola is proud to serve the finest local ingredients, dalla vite, from the vine. I hope you enjoy every bite, plucked from my family tree for your table. Buon appetito!

    We were greeted with a smile by a lovely young lady who promptly took us to our outside table. All necessary table items were available, clean, and properly set. We were brought water and bread quickly. Our waiter approached us with a warm welcome, he explained the evening's specials, and took our drink orders. The correct wine was brought to the table, a tasting sample was offered, and a sufficient pour was made. Our food was ordered which came in ample time to allow us to relax. The food was prepared properly and the temperature was warm. The salmon and mashed potatoes were cooked well, flaky, and not dry. The bucatini with tomatoes, Guanciale, and Calabrian chiles was amazing. So much flavor and just the right amount of heat. The Tiramisu was light and delicious. Our check correct, and the check out efficient. There was even an old movie playing on a white wall which gave a feel of whimsy to the space. It was a delightful evening at this neighborhood gem.
