This place is fantastic!The food, service, and ambiance were wonderful.The traditional sampler had a variety of roasted chicken, ropa vieja, pork, plantains, black beans, and rice. An exquisite meal all around. The other dish was the roasted Chicken. Equally delicious. Fall off the bone tender with lots of flavor.Would highly recommend.

This review is only for the restaurant located on Lincoln. When we came here last year I requested my food on separate plates : I never finish my food and others usually help me. When the waiter brought me my food it was altogether- so I reminded him how I asked for my food and requested a few plates so I could separate it at which point the Server became very irritated and told me "that makes no sense ". I never wanted to go back but my Husband likes the food ... food is not the problem- it's the service !!My husband asked about the 20% surcharge (specifically- does any of it go to the waiter) the waiter said NO. So he asked who does it go to and the waiter told my husband "You ask too many questions- just pay your bill and leave"So if you want good service and good food try the other locations on Espanola or Ocean. Or if you like to be insulted- be my guest , I know I won't be back !! Oh, and my husband always tips 30-50% so he was actually try to give the waiter more money for our service....

Havana 1957 is one of our Miami's favorites. My son goes for the Cuban sandwich and my husband and I, their traditional plates. The ambience was great - excellent Lincoln Road vibes with all the chitchatting tourists.Service was ok - a tad bit dip in their performance. ie - water glasses had lipstick stains.Drinks - what's not to like about sangria in 90° temp in Miami. Again a tad bit dip in expectations - barely any alcohol in the pitcher.Food - exceptional as always!Price - price accordingly for its category. Be aware service charges are included.

Awesome little spot. Great ambiance. Staff is friendly. The croquettes were the best I've ever had. I had the Cuban sandwich. It was pretty good but missing the pickles. Idk what happened there. My partner had the pork chunks with rice and yuca. The pork was fall apart tender and amazing. He couldn't stop talking about how good it was.

I cannot speak on the food, but this was a nice little stop during my vacation! The bar inside is pretty small, so since there were 3 of us we decided to grab a table outside. We were greeted with chips and salsa and menus. We knew we wanted to drink, so decided it made most sense to share a mojito pitcher. There were quite a few flavors to choose from, but we chatted and voted on kiwi. After ordering, we kinda just took in all the hustle and bustle -- we were in South Beach after all, so it was poppin! The mojito pitcher came in a few minutes, along with a glass for each of us. It was delicious -- minty and the kiwi flavor was there! The chips and salsa were satisfying all the way as well. The pitcher was expensive ($50), but such prices are expected down there. I'd come back to try the food!

We are locals and when we're at Lincoln Rd we always eat here!!! Food is great! This time our server was bad her name is Mara , she was rude! The ambience was amazing, great music!! We'll be back cause we love it!!! I would've gave them a 5 star ratting but the server was wack, servers are usually fabulous!

Stopped here for some afternoon coffee, specifically Cuban Coffee. We were drawn to the live music and dancers by the front door. Cozy restaurant, decorated to reflect a cafe in Havana, Cuba. Staff very friendly. Bathroom clean.We ordered the Cuban Coffee, Café con Leche, and Iced Coffee. Our orders were served right away. Sampled all three. At first, I thought the Cuban Coffee was going to be bitter. Surprisingly, it was sweet. I will order this next time. I then tried the Café con Leche and Iced Coffee. Both were good but nothing out of the ordinary.

Not the vibe. The server is literally standing over us as we look over the menu. We ordered a drink & left. Beware as they tack on 20% service charge. Explains why it's empty. Definitely not an inviting place.
