Havana 1957 | Ocean Drive (1410) | Cuban Cuisine - (Near Miami Beach, FL)

1 /5 Ellis Adams: We saw there was a lot of empty seats and should have taken it as a sign. The food was very average and it could of been overlooked had the service been better. We asked to be seated outside and I pointed directly at a large open area along Ocean Drive and was told ok. We followed the host to a different area and I said I requested over there to which I was told “the owner has that reserved for him and his guests’ which wouldnt have been a problem except half way through our lunch they started seating tables of two over in that area. Its literally half of the outside dining area as you can see in the picture. We were there about 90 mins and most of the tables stayed empty. The cuban was not served on cuban bread more like a toasted bun. The fries were served cold and as soon as our food was served we never saw a waiter again. When the came to start grabbing our empty plates to hurry us out we had 4 empty water glasses an empty coke glass, my beer was empty and my wife’s sangria was empty. All had been that way for 20+ mins. So finally we see our waiter after I had to ask for a table clearer to bring our bill and he hands me the tablet to sign for the bill and has the nerve to say the tip is included any addl is appreciated! So a $25 tip to not sit in the area I requested even though they sat other people there and to never have our drinks filled. Tourist trap on South Beach.

5 /5 Maggie Yu: Kate our server was wonderful with our food allergies. We got happy hour drinks. The mojito was on point. Pork bites succulent. Corn tamales one of the best ever. Roast chicken was a holy heck. Great live music Friday night. Highly recommend

5 /5 Jacob Hancock: The vibes here are amazing. There is indoor seating, where you’re in this really cool, dark cigar/karaoke lounge and outdoors you’ll enjoy Ocean Drive and the vibes there. Food was excellent - I personally highly recommend the Cuban Sampler. Service was excellent. And the place was very clean! The mojito bucket was amazing too! Be sure to be aware and cognizant of service charges and tax if you’re from out of town. The service charge was 20% of our entire bill.

5 /5 Amy Mandel: Our server, Kate, was terrific! The mojitos were excellent and the food was delicious…the portions are extremely generous too. A fun atmosphere and a beautiful view from the patio.

LuLu was our server and she was a delight for us as she added her warmth and charm to our dining experience. She was warm, personable, friendly and very attentive to us. Greeted us with a beautiful smile, and that set the tone for the rest of our day. The food was spot on delicious and the plate presentation was appealing. Great Cuban cusine! I highly recommend Havana 1957 at 1410 Ocean Dr in Miami Beach. This restaurant was recommended to us by my brother who visited this precise location earlier this year. Bravo LuLu!!!
