Our Server, Ricky, set the right note for a warm, mellow dining experience. We arrived super early to catch the sunset, which was a beautiful sight. Food was delicious! I had the hamburger and my hubby had the Pompano, the latter being a bit too expensive at $44. But it was very good! We will return…

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.

Everything was excellent as expected. The only caveat is that it was chilly out and the heaters were off. Other than that, I'd recommend to anyone who visits Miami.
