Restaurants near Penguin Hotel

Marco was an excellent server. He made recommendations, was very attentive to every detail and went above and beyond to celebrate our friend’s birthday. The entire staff constantly cleared the table and topped up water throughout the night. Every menu item exceeded our expectations.

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!

Amazing, delicious food every time. Fresh and very flavorful

We had to wait quite awhile (because of the rain) in spite of our reservation, but there is a nice bar area so that worked out fine. The mansion is beautiful! Service was friendly and attentive. The food - AMAZING! We started with Artichoke A La Romana. Wasn’t sure what to expect and it was delicious! We had Cacio e Pepe - not sure how just noodles, cheese & pepper can be that good, but holy yum! The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. We also had the Australian Lamb Shank - wonderful. The mashed potatoes were surprisingly tasty too! Finished up ordering an off menu affogato and a chocolate martini. Definitely splurge on this restaurant experience! Totally worth it!

Excellent food and service all located in a neighborhood gem.
