If you're debating whether to eat at Havana 1957, let me save you some time: go hungry and wear…read morestretchy pants. We ordered the Cuban sandwich and the Cuban burger, and honestly both were dangerously good. The Cuban sandwich was exactly what you hope for -- crispy bread, perfectly pressed, packed with flavor, and the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and just nod at the person across from you like "yep... this was the right decision." The Cuban burger was also fantastic -- juicy, flavorful, and big enough that you start questioning whether you should have skipped breakfast. The area around the restaurant was great too. Nice vibe, good energy, and perfect for walking around before or after eating... which you will probably need to do after finishing that burger. The servers were good -- friendly, attentive, and thankfully didn't judge us for attacking the food like we hadn't eaten in three business days. Overall the place has a fun atmosphere, great Cuban comfort food, and the kind of menu that makes you want to come back just to try the things you didn't order the first time. Highly recommend... just be prepared to leave full and slightly considering a nap. 10/10 would happily destroy another Cuban sandwich there again.

As others have stated, Havana 1957 is a small chain of Cuban eateries located throughout Miami,…read morewith I think 3 restaurants on Miami Beach alone. We stopped here at this one on Espanola Way for dinner on a Sunday, primarily because we had somewhere else in this area to be afterward, and while most every place on this touristy street was packed with a wait list, this restaurant could seat us right away. Service was good all evening from an outgoing waiter, this place was great for people watching (we were seated at a high top on the sidewalk in front), the food was good and the prices were reasonable, especially considering that Espanola Way is one of the most touristy areas on already touristy Miami Beach. I had the signature roasted chicken ($28) and my husband the Cuban churrasco steak ($42) and both included sides. We also had a glass of wine each and again, wine prices were reasonable. While we don't tend to eat in this general area often as it is so touristy which usually equals lackluster food and service at high prices, Havana 1957 was just fine. I'd happily return here.

From the moment we arrived, the ambiance and location created the perfect atmosphere for a special evening. The food truly exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the Miso Black Cod -- it was phenomenal and had the same rich, buttery texture as Chilean sea bass. Absolutely delicious. The Wagyu Burger was also outstanding -- freshly ground, high quality, and cooked perfectly. We also tried one of their sushi rolls topped with miso and filled with fresh tuna and salmon, and it was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Our server (I didn't catch her name -- an Asian woman, possibly in her 40s) was wonderful and made our experience even more enjoyable with her attentive and warm service. We truly loved this place and are already looking forward to coming back, especially to explore more of their sushi menu. Highly recommend!

We stopped in the first time during their 4 to 7 M-F Happy Hour and had some great drinks and their salsa sampler. Just a note, we got their just after 4 and had good service at the start but the place packed out and service went to zero. This is a management problem not a server problem. They were just too overwhelmed to give good service. We returned the next day just before happy hour because we'd seen the nachos the day before and wanted to try them. They were the perfect meal for 2 before a 7:30 food event. This time we knew to order water with our drinks so we didn't need service when the happy hour crowd hit. We returned the day after that after a brunch food event and a late afternoon bicycle ride . The place was packed but we were able to get a table on the sidewalk off the street as opposed ti the seating on the walkway which was all reserved. It was a fun place to eat. This time I had the mole and my wife had the aguas chile. Both were good although the mole didn't have quite the depth of flavor and complexity I look for. It was still very enjoyable and the well seasoned refried black beans, rice and corn tortillas complemented the mole very well. I know this is a chain but we only tried this location and can only highly recommend it.

The ambience is secluded and warm without losing its chic feeling. The two chefs had a great personality and we had great conversations. The food was absolutely amazing. Each course had a completely distinct flavor profile and played off one another very well. None where so over powering that it made the other seem bland. Extremely well balanced with amazing flavors. For a nice night out. Stay at the beach for the weekend, take an uber to the restaurant, immerse yourself for an hour or so of culinary delight, and let the outside world melt away in the experience.

We normally check the Michelin Guide first but there's none for Miami so we decided to browse through Tock for fun. This was how we stumbled upon Sushi Bar and we are so glad we did! The price point of $185 per seating is super worth it. You get a lot of fish and they are very creative with each nigiri. Their spin on it shows their creative side (with Miami flavors) but is not super over the top and sauce does not drown out the freshness of the fish. Something that stood out to me was how they shaved frozen monkfish liver as a topping. I wanna go back just for that!! They also had some pieces where they smoked the fish. Besides the food, I thought it was very creative how they welcomed guests with a welcome drink at the hotel bar. This was so unique! We finished ours early, and had some of their other drinks - they were all very good! Once they're ready, a server came to get us from the hotel bar and led us through an alleyway to a separate building which was where the actual omakase was taking place. The atmosphere was dark and gave off speakeasy vibes, which I thought was different to other omakase places. Bar is spacious enough to still have private conversations. We did the beverage pairing and we really appreciated the sommelier's knowledge. Overall, we would want to come back again for another tasting experience!!

If you're in Miami Beach and want sushi I'd definitely say this is a good spot to pass by and get a fun seating experience to feel like you are in Japan. If you don't like sushi they also have a variety of other options on the menu including Udon, Ramen, and a couple other choices. I'd definitely come back to have more of the moshi moshi roll, that was the bite of the night

The broth was overly salty, the egg and chashu tasted old, and the noodles were undercooked. For $18 and an automatic tip, I expect at least some semblance of quality. The server also kept disappearing for some reason. I moved tables because mine was wobbly and the server didn't change the plates that I touched at the first table, so that's gross and makes me question how sanitary they are. Do not recommend.

We were really impressed. My wife absolutely loves the Pavlova dessert, and we simply couldn't resist ordering it, even after 10 PM, if you know what I mean. And it was totally worth it. If you're visiting Miami Beach, especially if you're staying at Esmé Miami Beach or nearby, I definitely recommend stopping by The Drexel and ordering a couple of cocktails (and maybe dessert too). Great drinks, great vibe, and excellent service. Thank you!
