Best Restaurants for Groups in Mid-Beach

This is a go to restaurant of mine ! My Fiancé and I love to come here for date night and my most recent visit I brought some of my friends and we had such a blast , Frank our waiter was very very nice , outdoor seating was very relaxed and not as loud as you’d think but honestly I love sitting inside because the atmosphere is so romantic and beautiful, the Spicy Feta is a great appetizer, Filet mignon was great especially with Thyme butter and paired with the Spicy Rigatoni you can’t go wrong! Also their cocktails are really really good my friends and I had two each :) thank you Issabella team , we love it here !

Best food and waitress We had great time, this is our destination every time we visit Miami

Doya – A Must-Try for Greek & Turkish-Inspired Meze Recently dined at Doya, a fantastic spot that blends Greek and Turkish flavors with a menu designed for sharing. The restaurant specializes in both cold and hot meze, making it perfect for a communal dining experience. For cold meze, I highly recommend the traditional fava bean spread, eggplant (babaganoush), green goddess dip (similar to tzatziki), and shrimp carpaccio—all fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Among the hot meze, we tried the rib steak over the wood-fired grill, which, while cooked well, needed a bit more seasoning. However, the grilled Dorado fish was outstanding—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We rarely order dessert, but the chocolate mousse with cherries was a standout and an absolute must-try. Service at Doya is team-oriented, delightful, and impressively quick. The food comes out fast, making for a seamless dining experience without feeling rushed. Overall, Doya delivers a wonderful dining experience, with a well-executed menu, great service, and a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore high-quality Mediterranean flavors in a shareable format.

Oh my. I've been meaning to get down here for years, but only just now made it. And I want to go back right away. FANTASTIC food (perfect veggies! perfect sauces! perfect breads - light as air!) and WONDERFUL service at prices that are, frankly, low for the area. Beautiful places to sit. Ah, Abbalé - I felt like I was returning home. We can't wait to visit again.

Menu is huge. All of our food was good but not great. Cool inside but the service was sub par. We sat upstairs so that may have lead to our server visiting much. I’d recommend to not sit upstairs.
