I wouldn't bother going to this 'tourist trap' restaurant again. The food was below average and very, very bland. Nothing interesting about it at all. There was no skill involved and all food that we had could have been cooked by a below average chef. I wouldn't go to this restaurant or its sister restaurant in Lincoln road again. When...

A pitcher of mojitos? Yes, please! We loved the food just as much as the atmosphere at this fun and friendly spot. The food seemed very authentic. I love the server and hostess- so friendly and welcoming. The decor was eye catching. We sat inside on a red banquet but the outdoor tables and lighting were tempting as well. I'd...

We strolled into Lincoln Rd about 9:30 on Saturday morning. Something I would suggest you do if you have some time. The retail shops open at 11am, so there was no crowd and a few good restaurants offering breakfast. This was a win and so enjoyable. I wanted to go to the Van Dyke for breakfast, but Havana 1957 just...

Just went here and,was expecting some great Cuban food. Unfortunately, a typical dish of steak and onions, arroz morro, and yuca was below avg. Too bland and the best part was the yuca. The Sangria and service was very good but unfortunately it did not make up for blowing a very typical dish of Cuba. Cannot recommend this restaurant.

Anyone who has travelled to Cuba knows how difficult it is to find a good place to eat - if only Havana 1957 existed in Havana when we were there rather than Miami Beach! We loved the food, the location at the beginning of Espanola Way with its Mediterranean style houses and the outdoors tables. The service was good and...

recently had dinner at this restaurant during my stay in Miami. I was a walk-up diner and was put on a wait list, which the estimated time to sit was very close. Erlyn was my server and he did an excellent job of service. I was seated in a small outdoor table against the window which allowed me to observe...

Food and drink were OK...I only had an appetizer and an overpriced glass of white sangria. The waiter seemed annoyed with me for this, but I still gave him extra gratuity on top of the automatic 18%.
