Reviews for Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, FL

Wow. I was not expecting much being in the heart of a tourist area but was I ever wrong. The food was spot on and I mean really... good. Try the Cuban sampler to get a portion of chicken, pork, and steak. So good. The mojitos were good and they offer threesizes to save you money if you know you want more than one! Read more

Service was Great. Loved our Waitress, didn't catch her name though. She kept the drinks coming and checked on us regularly. I... got the "Cuban Platter". I also Forgot to tell her it was my Brother's Birthday ! Was having too much of a good time. 11pm wasour reservation, right after a Marlins Game Read more

The food was really good! Best black beans and rice we have ever had!! Salmon was delicious! Every time we visit, we are coming... to eat here! Look at the pics to see how colorful the plate is. Drinks were good with a stick of sugar cane added for theappeal. If you sit outside, the people watching is entertaining for sure! There is another location up the street by theMarriott in a not so crowded area. Read more

Service was horrible!! If I could give negative stars I would. The appetizers were amazing I have to say, but the main course... was mediocre. Especially for the price they are charging, my wife could have made that at home. We were expecting somethingdifferent, new flavors etc. We had to ask a bust boy for water because our waitress was too busy with a large party whom came inafter us. Mind you we had a reservation already, another waitress literally had to come over to us and make sure everything wasokay. Would not come back to this place ever again, worst experience of our honeymoon on south beach. Read more

Had low expectations on this place but anyways wanted to give it a shot. I was surprised with the vibes, unlike other places... around its not just the performance oriented, rather customers can jump in and dance along whenever they like. The dancers werevery friendly and always welcoming and involving everyone around. Drinks were expensive but worth it to spend for theperformance. Read more

The menu selection is large with many fantastic Cuban dishes. I opted for the Cuban Sampler and it was awesome. My date had the... Crispy Chicken which she enjoyed immensely. Stay away from seats near the next door Ocean 10 restaurant unless you like loudmusic competing against Havana's music. Our server was occupied with larger groups so it took us a while to get her attentionand our check. Payment is taken by server using portable credit card charge device. 20 percent service charge is automaticallyadded to bill and no receipt was provided. Read more
