Caña Restaurant

While staying at Hyatt Centric, I tried Cana, located in the hotel. I went for happy hour. It had a nice atmosphere and they have patio seating. I ordered Camarones al Ajillo, a side of fries, and a margarita on the rocks. The bartender said that he makes the best margarita, and he did not lie about it. The lime juice in the margarita was fresh. The fries were nice and crispy. The Camarones al Ajillo was delicious. I am not sure what type of sauce they put on it, but it was good. They give you six nice pieces of shrimp on sourdough bread with plenty of sauce.

My friend was in town and he was craving Cuban food, we decided to try Caña which is inside the Hyatt Centric Brickell ( valet is $20) .The place is nice, service was good. We were not too hungry so we decided to do apps & drinks.I had the passion fruit margarita 5/5, really balanced not too sweet not too strong.For apps we had the chicharron, it is dehydrated so it felt like we were eating it from the bags ( sorry :( ) not my fave 2/5 The bolitas con queso were absolutely deliciouuuuuuuss 5/5 we had to order 2 of these!The chicken empanadas were okay, too saucy for my liking 3/5Tostones rellenos with shrimp were sooo delicious, cooked perfectly and the tostones were nice and crunchy 5/5My friend tried the pulpo con mofongo de yuca and was not a big fan, he said it was chewy, the mofongo tasted too sweet and watery 2/5.Ambiance was nice, service was great, would probably come back to try their main course and desserts.

This is really 3.5 and the drop is solely due to service.When I'm in Miami, I have to eat as much Cuban as I can and as much variety as I can. As I was here for work for the week, after a long day's work, we decided to try someplace close to our AirBNB that had Cuban options and Cana fit the bill.Cana is actually located in the Hyatt in Brickell, and was combined with the bar area. It was strange because it almost felt like the employees forgot they had a restaurant to run. We didn't have reservations, but they had some seats available, but it seems like whoever greeted us didn't realize they had some seats available. We finally got a seat and then it felt like no one told the wait staff a new table arrived because it took a while for someone to come by to get drinks. Then it took forever to get our drinks, so we made sure we ordered everything we wanted whenever we got our drinks or else we'd be here until last call.We started with some appetizers: chicharrons, camarones, and the buratta con gabayon. The burrata was easily the favorite as it was gone, quickly. It was delicious and really hit the spot. The camarones weren't bad, but it felt like it could've been better. As for the chicharrons, my companions liked them, but I don't like them. In general, I don't like chicharrons at all and I've tried to keep an open mind, but I just don't like them at all.The entree I decided on, the lechon asado, was fantastic. The shoulder was fall off the bone tender and I didn't need a knife to cut into it. Full of flavor and only mildly dry, it was a great entree.Overall, Cana was good but after comparing this to Cafe La Trova, Cana has ways to go before getting to that level, especially with the very slow service.

I'm in Miami, so of course I want a great Cuban dinner.Yelp reviews don't lie! Caña Restaurant and Lounge came highly recommended, so I walked over.The restaurant is open and airy, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Not too loud, and intimate enough for an "impress your date" dinner that won't break the bank. Service was immediate and polite. I ordered a chicken empenada, and the slow-roasted pork shoulder.The empenada was small, but soft and packed with flavor. It came with a spicy, creamy green sauce which complemented it nicely.The pork was absolutely delicious! Not overly spicy, but a beautiful crust and an amazing mix of flavors. Black beans and rice were perfect. One of the best Cuban dining experiences I've ever had, and definitely the best roasted pork shoulder I've ever tasted. Portion size was just right.If you haven't eaten here, you're definitely missing out.

Went on a Friday night, was pretty empty. Got the vegan dish and the serving was HUGE! Wish they made a half size but got a big amount for the price, which was great. Very flavorful. Love that they have veggie options. I also got the passion fruit drink, which was also bright and delicious

Had a really nice breakfast here before heading to the airport. They open at 6:30am so it's a great option if you have to start your day on the earlier side.My server was wonderful. Super friendly an accommodating. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino, the avocado toast (delicious), and a side of chicken sausage for good measure. I cleaned my plate so I obviously enjoyed my meal.The restaurant itself is really nicely set up. It's definitely a warm, welcoming area, and the decor was beautiful. The only thing I wasn't crazy about were the booths. The one I ended up sitting at was a bit uncomfortable. I had to wiggle in carefully since the table itself was too big for the arrangement, but nothing too terrible.

Located inside the Hyatt Centric Brickell. Came here for breakfast and must say that French toast dish I had was fantastic. Yum. We ordered the American breakfast and one plate the bacon was nice and crispy and the other was so soggy, it stunk. One note: they don't offer a kids menu for breakfast. Our sever though was non existent. Came to get our order and that was it. Had to go to bar to get refills for our coffees. That's one bad thing about Miami, the gratuity is automatically added. The place itself is nicely decorated with walls of windows so you can look outside.

So this is the first time at Caña. Not the first time in Miami, but am always looking for places to eat good food. Miami is known for good Cuban food so it's hard to find the right place when there are so many restaurants. Well my girlfriend and I ended finding this restaurant on Yelp! Being the review trusting kind I gave Caña a chance. Man the good reviews weren't wrong. The food and service were excellent. Daniel was our server. His recommendations were spot on. He recommended so many great plates but we went with the Burrta, Yuca Frita, Lechon Asada, Tostones, and the Empanadas. My girlfriend asked for an Apple martini but they didn't have the green apple flavoring, so we made a drink similar to it just from his own experience. What a drink!! Give this place a try it's on the second floor of the Hyatt Centric hotel.

This was our first stop on our Miami trip. Our drinks were good although she had to send someone else to the table when I asked for a French 75. I had the Cuban sandwich and my husband had lechon asada. The sandwich was a perfect example of a Cuban sandwich; warm, crispy on the outside and great flavor. The lechon asada was tender and very flavorful. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We left as soon as we got here. Depressing looking, dark, empty and smelled bad. I don't know how this place got all those good reviews.
