    The atmosphere is great and the guava Mojito is a can’t miss cocktail. It’s a bit expensive, but so is everything in South Beach.

    Everything was fine but too expensive. Prob if they lowered by 25% it may be worth it. There was a little place across the street and they were serving the same food for half the cost.

    We got three dishes and an appetizer. Truffle yucca fries was good. Their “signature” roast chicken was awful - salty and stale. The chicken had been rewarded. The griddle steak was tough and dry. The stewed flank steak was decent. The mojitos were good but way overpriced at $17. Don’t forget they include service charge so don’t overpay.

    Some outdoor seating is too close to the very busy and loud street. Host not the most accommodating. Mojito was excellent. Food was tasty although fairly greasy. Indoor would be best but too tight for us as we try to avoid Covid

    Better authentic Cuban food to be had in little Havana. This is a chain and feels like one. The food and drinks were OK, no where near outstanding. The following day we went to Little Havana for a food tour. Compared to that the experience at Havana 1957 pales in comparison to the real thing. There was no live music that sets the mood. The Cubano sandwich that my daughter ordered was simply a ham sandwich as they forgot the roasted pork. The Mojitos were decent and well as the sangria. We felt we were being pushed through service and not really being attended too.
