Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Hemingway's Cuba offers a memorable experience with stunning views and "great Cuban sandwich" and "mojito was to die for." While the ambiance and service are praised, some find the "food is bland" and service inconsistent. It's a "must" for drinks and views, but expectations for food should be managed.

    I have been a loyal fan of Hemingways for sometime. When I was looking for a house to buy here. I stayed at the Cambria a few times and I met several people, I am great friends with, still today. So I am a bit nostalgic However the ambiance and feeling is not good it's dreary and less attractive. The food was terrible. Nothing was hot, ham croquettes were burnt. Service was not the greatest. No one clears tables. I was really taken back by the change for the worst. I will not come back nor would I ever bring or recommend Hemingways as I use to. So disappointed Stephen A Robinson

    3 meals. All were marginal. Staff clueless about ingredients for food allergies. Paella was basically some gummy yellow rice with some seafood thrown on top. Ceviche could have been good but they added sweetened condensed milk . . . Drinks were good, views were nice. They were also out of the two dishes we wanted to order. Get drinks and eat somewhere else.

    Our waitress (Edith) was great - a natural given she is new:). Good atmosphere (View!) and good food. The blacked Mahi mahi was just a tiny bit overcooked. The Paella and salad were perfect. Will definitely be back!

    Was hoping for something a little more cozy and a feel of south beach or Cuba. Didn’t realize it was in a hotel which I can understand probably some constraints. View of city is one of the best in town hands down. Food was good not didn’t blow us away. My wife did like her Cuban Sandwich. The Hemingway Mojito was really good. Def worth a visit.

    Hemingway's advertises as serving authentic Cuban style food. We had the ceviche which was served with crispy plantain chips and corn chips, I had the bistec (marinated sirloin steak) and my husband had the seafood paella. The side dishes were black beans and rice. Portions were a good size, and attractively plated. Everything was served promptly. There is a nicely curated wine list, and the Portuguese rosé that I ordered was perfect with the meal.

    Food quality was absolutely terrible. We’ve gone before and it was amazing but it went downhill.

    Delicious food. Amazing service. A bit chilly to go outdoors, but will return to do this in the future.

    The ambiance and service are both very good. However, the food is bland. I would expect great flavors for a Cuban style restaurant.
