    From the moment we walked in we were given a warm welcome. Cynthia was our server. & George the manager was very attentive not only to us but to every customer that walked in. My mom and I are traveling from San Francisco...we went on a 3 days cruise and now staying 3 nights in Miami. I am glad we chose Havana 1957 on Collins ave as our 1st restaurant. They did not disappoint. The food, the atmosphere and the quality of service is above and beyond. It was a rare cold day in Miami. We chose to sit outside ....the warm outside heat lamp kept us nice and warm. I have no complaints with my visit at Havana. It's my mom's first visit in Florida and i wanted to make it special for her. She enjoyed her visit! Thank you George and Cynthia and the rest of the team for am AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

    This is a warm, friendly local neighborhood restaurant ( no pretensions) conveniently located across the street from the New Symphony Center. The service was excellent and the ambiance very pleasant “Old Cuba.” The simple fish dishes and the desserts were excellent . The appetizer sampler and the oxtail dish were a little disappointing - but still be far better than the average Cuban restaurant in the area. Bella Cuba is certainly worth a try.

    We enjoyed the chef’s excellent, fine dining Peruvian Cuban cuisine in a lovely setting with very friendly service. The ceviche was excellent, as was the grilled snapper. The kitchen was a bit slow on one dish but it was worth waiting for .
