    Love this place! Consistently great food, service, and ambience. Victor is the manager and always goes above and beyond. Cynthia is the best waitress — she is always upbeat and accommodating. I am a local and highly recommend Issabella’s, and I always look forward to my next visit.

    I don’t often leave reviews but this is by far one of the best restaurants I have been to. We have 3 children and they love and ate all of their meals (this never happens). The atmosphere, food, service, etc.. was all beyond expectation. I would recommend this to anyone looking to have a nice family dinner that this is a must.

    I really like the restaurant. The service was great. The manager came and checked on us and helped deliver the food, which is a really nice touch. I had the swordfish. It was great with a unique preparation served with artichoke and truffle sauce. My only criticism is that the side dishes are not up to the same caliber as the main courses. FYI-MB residents get a discount on Mondays.

    Last night we had one of the best dinners in Miami thanks to Issabella’s. They provided us with excellent service, always making sure that nothing is missing and that everything goes perfectly. That's how it went! We were right choosing this place. Special thanks to manager Victor for making it a great time and take care of everything. I especially recommend the pesto rigatoni, the santorini salad, and Negroni for a drink. The wine list was great and the variety of drinks was awsome. We are very happy, they deserve to be very successful. Next time, we will come back for the caviar!

    Not their best effort sad to say as I brought two local friends who I’d been encouraging to try since opening. The oiled bread was cold and doughy. The tuna tartare tasteless, the chicken bowl was fine yet not outstanding- they chose it, so I’m not sure what they expected. Service was a little spotty although personable.

    We’re down from Minnesota and we didn’t know where to go so we asked the concierge to give us a suggestion. They said Isabellas without question. And we followed their suggestion. Wow, what an amazing experience. We met someone named Victor, he was amazing later we found out he was the manager of the establishment. The service was excellent and the food was the best!! Definitly we are going there again!!! 100% recommended!!

    I totally recommend this place! I went with my husband for lunch and both the food and the service were phenomenal. The hostes was very kind with us and smiling. The whole restaurant, including the bathrooms always clean and shiny, the aesthetics of the amazing place, the music creating a pleasant mood. Wasn’t easy to choose what we were going to have, everything was super tempting, a lot of variety to choose on the menu. The best wines and drinks, without a doubt. Special thanks to Victor who was aware of everything. We will definitely be back!

    Octopus was overcooked and almost inedible. Calamari was also overcooked and tough. The mussels were done well.

    No very happy about the experience. I was specific about asking for no spicy food. The waitresses recommended a No spicy plate (octopus) which ended up being very spicy for me. I was surprised no compensation was offered when even the MD recognized they had made a mistake. On the other hand, the octopus was chewy and the portion of my friend’s meal, was very small. The coffee espresso was watery. I don’t think we are going back anytime soon. On a good note, the waitresses was excellent.

    This was our third time dining here and it was our anniversary. We thought it would be a great night but we were very wrong. Firstly, no one even mentioned the anniversary or acknowledged it. The restaurant was empty when we arrived and we were greeted by our server. We ordered drinks and wine and a couple of apps with no problems. We then ordered the paella and instantly knew it wasn’t good. The seafood smelled a little like iodine or bleach and the whole flavor was off. We told the server and the manager came over and apologized. We were going to order another entree but then the server arrived with a cheesecake and said it was on them. The basque cheesesteak should have been runny in the center but it was clearly old. The manager came over and again apologized for the paella and then without us mentioning it apologized for the cheesecake which he knew wasn’t good but served it anyway saying it’s hard to keep fresh! Seriously….why the hell would you serve it. To make matters worse we asked for the check in the paella was still on it. I was already over it so we just paid and left. Not a great anniversary and worse management decision ever. Sorry after a couple of fantastic meals here we won’t be back.

    This was my second time at Issabella's, and my experience was extraordinary. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the 2 pasta dishes, the carbonate and pesto, were cooked adente and were one of the best I've had in a while. The service was amazing infact the manager, Victor, came to check on our table to make sure we had everything we needed and to ask about our experience. He was friendly and made us feel like a guest in his home. With service and food like this, I will be sure to become a regular.

    It was my first time at Isabella's, and I will most definitely be going back. When we first arrived, the manager, Victor, came over and introduced himself. He was extremely friendly and welcoming and has an amazing sense of humor. The food quality was spectacular, and everything was fresh and tasted delicious. The service was great, our glasses never went empty, and the food came out promptly even though the restaurant was busy. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and will absolutely be visiting again in the future.

    Definitely the best bet on Lincoln Rd. Food was delicious and the service was almost TOO enthusiastic (hard to believe in Miami). I also really appreciated their having a nonalcoholic wine option. The inside room is really lovely (note to owners - the banquet seats are too low for the tables unless you are tall and the music is a bit too loud.) I’m happy to support this local gem.
