   We had an amazing experience at Havana 1957. Our server was attentive and gave us some great recommendations. We shared the sampler tower and had cocktails, which was plenty of food for us. The only downside was I requested to be seated on the terrace, and we ended up on the sidewalk, which is not my favorite place to dine. But the service made up for it.

   Havana 1957 captures the essence of Cuba in a vibrant, nostalgic atmosphere. The terrace, complete with outdoor seating, offers an ideal spot for people-watching on bustling Ocean Drive while savoring authentic Cuban flavors. The outdoor seating is beautifully arranged, blending vintage Cuban charm with Miami's tropical vibe. The terrace is shaded, offering a comfortable dining experience even during warmer hours. String lights and Cuban music enhance the lively, welcoming atmosphere. The menu is a celebration of Cuban cuisine. The Ropa Vieja is a standout, with tender shredded beef in a savory tomato-based sauce, served with perfectly cooked white rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. The Pollo Havana 1957, their signature dish, is a must-try—juicy, seasoned to perfection, and paired with traditional sides. For lighter bites, the empanadas and tostones are flavorful starters. Their mojitos, made with fresh mint and sugarcane, are refreshing and pair beautifully with the meal. The staff is attentive and friendly, offering recommendations and ensuring guests feel the warmth of Cuban hospitality. Even during peak hours, the service is prompt without feeling rushed. Havana 1957 on Ocean Drive is a delightful escape into Cuba's golden era. Whether you're a tourist exploring Miami or a local seeking authentic Cuban fare, this spot delivers on all fronts. The terrace dining, delicious food, and vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit.

   We loved the live music experience and ambiance. Unfortunately, my son was intoxicated by the undercooked burger. The rest of us were fine.

   We had such a wonderful experience, especially with the live performance and the exquisitely delicious food. We loved the authentic Cuban vibe although the noise level at times was a little too high for us to hear one another. Understandably the service was a little slow for such a busy night but our waitress took very good care of us. Overall, an excellent experience and I recommend anyone visiting this area to definitely try this place for dinner.
