I don't have a lot of experience with Cuban food but I liked this place. Upsold to the better mojito, was good! Good service but this place is packed. Nice night on the outside. Give it a try. Glad I did!

Me, my daughter and 2 friends went to Havana 1957 while visiting Miami this past weekend. We got the tip from our Concierge at the hotel. Well if you like authentic and good Cuban food, then look no further..the atmosphere and music were like you were sitting in a cafe in Cuba. The best part too was that it's right... More

We had a great experience. The cuban food was excellent and the server very helpful in helping us pick what we should eat. My husband had the special chicken dish and I had the flank steak and both were wonderful. This is a must. Great area.

I wouldn't bother going to this 'tourist trap' restaurant again. The food was below average and very, very bland. Nothing interesting about it at all. There was no skill involved and all food that we had could have been cooked by a below average chef. I wouldn't go to this restaurant or its sister restaurant in Lincoln road again. When... More

A pitcher of mojitos? Yes, please! We loved the food just as much as the atmosphere at this fun and friendly spot. The food seemed very authentic. I love the server and hostess- so friendly and welcoming. The decor was eye catching. We sat inside on a red banquet but the outdoor tables and lighting were tempting as well. I'd... More

We strolled into Lincoln Rd about 9:30 on Saturday morning. Something I would suggest you do if you have some time. The retail shops open at 11am, so there was no crowd and a few good restaurants offering breakfast. This was a win and so enjoyable. I wanted to go to the Van Dyke for breakfast, but Havana 1957 just... More

Just went here and,was expecting some great Cuban food. Unfortunately, a typical dish of steak and onions, arroz morro, and yuca was below avg. Too bland and the best part was the yuca. The Sangria and service was very good but unfortunately it did not make up for blowing a very typical dish of Cuba. Cannot recommend this restaurant.
