Spectacular experience! Fun and lively music where even the bartenders will grab an instrument from behind the bar to play along. The mixed drinks are top notch being very flavorable and balanced. Everyone that works there is super happy and friendly (you can tell they love working there). Great ambiance!

In the Miami area looking for a good Cuban experience, look no further. Yes, definitely plan on dinner here, as the cuisine is delicious and there are traditional Cuban offerings. Definitely dive into the cocktail experience. A mixologists approach to the drink is taken as fresh ingredients are used and prepared in-house. Cocktails are deliciously well balanced and pair well with the food options. Perhaps make reservations, just in case. Stop in and enjoy an amazing staff, accompanied by great food and drink. I'll see you there, cheers and bon appe'tit!

bsolutely an amazing place. At first, we were hesitant to go because we thought it might be a tourist trap, but we decided to give it a chance and we’re so glad we did. We ended up having such a fun night. The live musicians were fantastic, the service was excellent, and the food was honestly much better than we expected. Everything exceeded our expectations. We sat right in front of the stage, which was a great experience, but the bar area also looked incredibly fun and lively. Next time, I would probably sit at the bar because the atmosphere there seemed more relaxed and better for dancing. We went for the earlier seating, but when we were leaving, they were rearranging the tables near the stage for the second seating. I honestly think the later reservation around 9 PM might be even more enjoyable energy-wise. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun night, great music, good food, and an entertaining atmosphere.

Café La Trova is the absolute heartbeat of Little Havana and a masterclass in Cuban hospitality. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a time-traveling experience to pre-revolutionary Havana, complete with live Trova music and a high-energy vibe that is unmatched in Miami. The collaboration between Julio Cabrera and Chef Michelle Bernstein is a match made in heaven. The "Cantinero" style bartenders in their crisp white jackets are true artists—the Daiquirí Clásico is a must-try. On the food side, the Hand-Cut Steak Empanadas and the Jamon Serrano Croquetas with fig jam are game-changers. For the main, the Lechón was incredibly tender and packed with authentic mojo flavor. The service is impeccable—fast, professional, and genuinely warm. Whether you’re here for the world-class cocktails or the elevated Cuban comfort food, you’re in for an unforgettable night. It’s no wonder this place is consistently ranked among the best in the world. Don't leave Miami without coming here.

This classic Cuban restaurant is a Miami institution. Now in its second generation the staff are friendly and the food is solid. We started at the bar with a mojito and empanadas. Our bartender entertained us with stories and laughter. Music starts at 7pm every night. An entertaining and enjoyable evening all around.
