İsabelle İSTMarina

Music ranges from acoustic and nostalgic Turkish songs to 1990s–2000s pop remixes and current club hits. DJ sets, percussion, oriental dance and themed cabaret segments vary with the current programme.

Crystal chandeliers, striking purple and red neon, mirrored details and panoramic views of the Princes’ Islands and the sea create an elegant, high-energy party setting.

A dinner-and-entertainment format bringing international dishes and meze together with DJs, percussion and oriental dance performances.

Groups of friends and celebrations wanting dinner, a show and dancing in one programme on the Kartal waterfront.

Considered smart-casual clothes suited to an evening by the sea fit the occasion.

Blue, green and purple multiply in İsabelle İSTMarina's mirrored walls. Beneath gleaming decorations hanging from the ceiling, a dancer's flowing costume brings movement to the small stage. Reflections keep the guests at their tables within the show too. The sparkle indoors comes from the way décor and dance complement one another.

Isabelle İSTMarina appeals to those seeking a modern take on the traditional meyhane (tavern) experience, featuring high ceilings, good ventilation, and performances by belly dancers and köçek dancers. Groups of women appreciate the sense of security and the attentive staff; the music and stage program are generally well-liked. However, frequent complaints mention that meze portions in the set menu are very small, options are limited, and warm appetizers often arrive cold. Additional charges for water, drink substitutions, and other items negatively affect the perception of value. Criticisms also target the welcome at the entrance, a lack of care during cake service, and the strict enforcement of gender-ratio rules. While the entertainment is a strong point, it is advisable to clarify menu details, portion sizes, and all potential extra charges when making a reservation.
