Havana 1957 Cuban Cuisine Ocean Drive

Marvin is our new best friend at the bar, as he made our amazing Cuban coffee every day while we were staying at the hotel next door. The coffee is amazing and the staff is super friendly and just fun to be around. The food is good, but like everything in Miami beach it is way overpriced. One day they were super short staffed and said the "kitchen was closed for 30 mins" until they could catch up. Glad they told us up front. Couldn't get a to go order because they were just too busy. Staffing is just difficult right now. But, we liked the charm and character of the place. Again, the bar staff was amazing.

We came to Havana 1957 as a group of 10 for a company dinner. We had the best time, the best food and great service. Our server was George and he did a fantastic job taking care of our group.

We had 3 dinners in Miami as a group and the dinner at Havana 1957 with George taking care of us was voted the best of them all. The other restaurants were both supposed to be more high end but Havana 1957 had the right combination of great ambiance, great food and super service.

I will definitely visit this place again! Our wait staff was great! Friendly, attentive and quick. I wish I had gotten our waitresses name. She is what good service should be like.

The food was great! We had the Cubano Sandwich and the Bread Steak. We were able to try half of each and both were mouth watering. I loved the little crispy fries that came with it. It was our second day in Miami and first trip to Ocean Drive, and they made it worth it. Thank you!

I wish I could give this place more than a 5 star review. Our waiter Francisco went above and beyond with the hospitality and making us feel welcomed. But not only is the customer service exquisite but the food is top of the line. Best food I’ve ever had in my life. I’ve eaten a lot of food and this food is hands down the best I’ve ever had. Francisco if you are reading this thank you for making my newly fiancé and my experience the best that we have ever had. EVER!!!!!

Sat inside to avoid the heat. Was told in all honesty by the hostess that we should be patient w/ the server covering the indoors because he was the only one working at the time. Didn't seem delayed at all; everything progressed well. Omar was a great server, very attentive, and helpful in picking out items on the menu. Honestly, everything looked great and the descriptions were appealing. Great meal, reasonable prices, and fine service!
