Best Restaurants for Groups in North Beach

Best sushi experience in Miami. The food is delicious and all the servers are so sweet and dishes are perfectly timed!

Our dinner at Issabella’s was an exceptional experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone who loves fresh seafood paired with excellent service. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a memorable evening. We were dining as a family with our 9-year-old daughter, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They immediately helped us choose the perfect seating arrangement, asking if we preferred to sit indoors or outdoors and letting us select the table we liked best. This level of care and attentiveness continued throughout the evening, with the staff striking the perfect balance between being attentive and non-intrusive. The food was outstanding. We enjoyed a variety of seafood dishes paired with a delicious Chardonnay. The cuisine is simple yet refined, highlighting the freshness and natural flavors of the ingredients. This straightforward approach to cooking proved to be a winning formula, resulting in dishes that were flavorful and perfectly portioned to meet our expectations. One notable moment was when we ordered a whole fish. Unfortunately, the smaller size we requested was unavailable, as they use very fresh ingredients, which we appreciate. To our surprise, they offered us a larger fish at the same price as the smaller one—a thoughtful gesture that left us impressed. The timing of each course was ideal, allowing us to fully savor every bite without feeling rushed. Even the coffee was exceptional, a perfect conclusion to the meal. Toward the end of the evening, we had the pleasure of chatting with the owner after asking to speak with the chef to personally thank them for their incredible work. Simply put, Issabella’s exceeded all our expectations. If we could give more than 5 stars, we absolutely would!

I was disappointed. I liked it before they remodeled it. The wait was long before the chef came to the table. It wasn’t as entertaining as it used t be. The staff were nice. Food was still good.

Server was terrific. Empanadas were amazing. Cubano sandwich did not disappoint. The band was great, but we were glad we were outside on the terrace because even there, it was loud. If I wanted to go and eat good food and then dance, this is definitely the place I would go! As it was, we were in the best spot to enjoy both.

The menu seems to change fairly frequently, so the waitstaff don't know what is available, and items on the menu are often not actually available. But the food we did get was good, and the ambience was nice
