Cafe La Trova Miami Reviews from The Last Year

Had such a great time here, live music, great food and the bartenders were full of spirit and good vibes. I'd recommend making a reservation if you want to be seated and served near the music/dancing, if not head to the back bar. The Cuban food was authentic and very well prepared, tons of flavor. I 100% recommend this to anyone staying in Miami.

Well where to start, yes I understand we didn't have a reservation but we got there at 4pm the moment the spot opened so sat and had some drinks at the bar awesome since the kitchen didn't opened till 5pm, but didn't like the fact that they rush you by saying u only have the table for an 1 hr and 1/2. So u must chug your food down fast and not even that. I been there couple of times and I don't think I will return anytime soon since we took some friends of ours from South America that visited the first time and they weren't impressed with the level of service from the front. The waitress was superb and the bar folks also.
Food not expensive but very good quality.
The service is unbelievable slow. The ambiance is unique. Best ambience in Calle 8. They should improve the service quality.
We wanted to love this
Wellβ¦maybe we expected too much. Maybe we need to come back and try it again. This large cafe is tightly packed with tables, extremely loud β to the shouting point for the four of us β once the many tables are occupied, and the food was average. Our lechon had no crispy pork skin, unless you count the fried pork rinds scattered around it. The ropa vieja was okay, tho nothing special. The seared octopus was tender and nice on the saucy potatoes. But somehow, with the elevated culinary reputation this place has, we expected more of the food than what can be had all over town, particularly a few blocks away. The band was good, but nobody was dancing. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable. We were just puzzled with the whole night, tho we did take a great stroll in the lovely tropical night up and down Calle Ocho, always a treat.
Cafe La Trova has one of the best happy hours in Miami.
It runs from 5-7pm, with live music starting at 6pm. I've been here several times, tried many things on their menu and have never been disappointed. From their delicious (and not to sweet) cocktails to modern take on Cuban food and overall ambiance, La Trova is must if you're visiting Miami.
What a magical place! The music, the energy, the vibes and
What a magical place! The music, the energy, the vibes and the cocktails are one of a kind. Although Cafe La Trova is well know and very well respected, my experience here was definitely the icing on the cake for me and my friends the evening we dropped by after dinner. There was a live band, great music and the place was of course packed on a Friday night. But for some reason it just felt vibrant vs overwhelming, The team of cantineros are consummate professionals at their craft with top notch hospitality to their guests, coupled with contagious energy as they break out in dance. To my surprise, I was invited behind the bar to participate. At the moment, I didn't realize really what was going on but before I knew it had a maraca in my hand and I was asked to get in formation. I was laughing so hard while also triggering my less obvious shyness for a moment as I did not expect to be front and center. But it just made the night all the more fun, memorable and absolutely perfect. I will definitely be back as this place is truly very special! Thanks for the amazing visit!!
Cafe La Trova is a must! Very unique environment
Cafe La Trova is a must! Very unique environment transporting you to the heart of Cuba. We had a large party with a prefixe dinner set up family style. We started off with calamari (so flavorful!) and chicken and steak empanadas. For dinner, fresh fish and skirt steak, both delicious and we ended with bread pudding for dessert. The live music starts around 8pm and the environment becomes lively with a bar in the back room that becomes a dancefloor with a DJ come 10pm. The service was attentive... the table and restaurant with seating was a bit tight and our party was 16 people. However, you can't top this unique experience!

Make sure to get a reservation! for anything after the music starts. Amazing cocktail, bar and bartenders, could use a broader menu, but the fare they have is high quality!
What a tremendously special experience to visit Cafe La
What a tremendously special experience to visit Cafe La Trova! If you want a fun and energetic vibe that transports you to Havana, this is the place for you! We walked in around 8:45pm and it was packed. No reservation so we tried to do a walk-in (definitely make reservations in advance if you can). There was live music as we entered and it was so lively and fun - people were getting up and dancing from their tables, people just enjoying the atmosphere. We lucked out and grabbed a seat at the bar which ended up being great because the bartenders not only make fabulous cocktails but they are often part of the show with the musicians and also have their own tricks in making some drinks you don't want to miss. In terms of food we ordered both the Cubano empanadas and the ceviche that came with tostones.... Both were absolutely delicious! If we were hungrier we definitely would have ordered more! Put this place on your list to visit if you're in Miami! Not to be missed!

I felt like, I was transported into a neighborhood in Cuba! A very lively restaurant with a live band which starts in the evenings. The Cuban music! was spot on, The bar was hitting while the restaurant was filled to the brim. Every single dish we had was tasty and authentic, The service was perfect!
After much research I made my reservation weeks ago.
Definitely needed. The place was packed and there was a short wait (less than 10 minutes) for my table, with apologies. I was offered a seat at the bar (same menu) but it was off in a corner away from the stage so I opted to wait. Speaking of the stage: music is a big deal here, playing throughout the night. Not mere background either. Tonight it was a 4-piece band, of what Latin style I cannot say - salsa perhaps? So good and engaging that more than once I found I had stopped eating, mid-chew, watching in mesmerized astonishment. No exaggeration. Drink: an excellent mojito, packed with mint leaves, sweet, tangy and limey. I started with an appetizer: BuΓ±uelo de Bacalao (salt cod fritters): a good sized portion of 5, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, pleasingly salty and tasting of the sea, accompanied by a generous amount of spicy aioli. Superb. At no time was I made to feel rushed. When I placed my appetizer order I expected I'd be asked to order the entree at the same time. She said whichever I prefer but either way the entree wouldn't be served until I was ready. I opted to wait and peruse the menu more. (They will however request you move to the bar area if you choose to stay longer than 2 hours which is reasonable. My stay was a little over an hour and a half.) Service was impeccable. It's the kind of place where if you drop your napkin leaving the table it will be restored to the table, neatly folded when you return. Happened to me twice. But don't for a minute think the atmosphere is stuffy and pretentious. Quite the opposite, warm and welcoming with an energetic, festive vibe. My entree choice was actually the lowest-priced entree on the menu due to its simplicity. Lechon: pork shoulder with cracklings, steamed yucca, tangerine, and pickled onions. Only a squeeze of the lemon and lime wedges was needed for additional flavor, along with the bottled hot sauce which was offered without asking; it was not a brand I am familiar with. A huge portion, and I took more than half home and didn't even quite finish it the next day. I liked it very much but next time I would try a more complex dish, or maybe the crispy whole boneless snapper. The room was dimly lit and had a cozy feeling. Walls decorated with music posters and LPs. Tables were small so conversations would be easy even though the noise level was high between the band and the many diners. Curiously, a carcass of an old car was a central feature in the decor, and many diners posed for photos inside - an allusion to the ancient autos they manage to keep running seemingly forever in Cuba perhaps? The stage backdrop was made to resemble an urban facade, with aged stucco walls, a doorway and window dressed with blue shutters, ivy dangling from the balcony overhead. A place to celebrate birthdays apparently. There were 5 while I was there, each time marked by a cake with dazzling sparklers (no mere candle) and a trio of singing waiters, cheers and applause all around. Second drink: unfortunately I had 50 miles of driving, at night, back to my wilderness campsite in Big Cypress. But that mojito was so good! What to do? I've got it! Another, hold the rum. I'd like to say I didn't miss the rum but of course I did. But it still had all the minty sweet limeyness of the real thing and it was the right decision. A small selection of desserts are offered, all true to the Cuban theme. I was pretty full or I might have tried the Banana Tres Leches? I opted instead for Flan De la Flaca which normally doesn't appeal but seemed worth trying. A wedge-shaped slice, served with a wafer (type unknown) and whipped cream. Pretty good but I thought it could be improved by a fruit sauce or some other accompaniment. Wow, such an experience. Without hesitation I would return here on my next visit, without even considering the numerous other options in the area.
Lively
Lively noisy venue tightly packed. Unfortunately, our server advised that the tapas portions were small so we ordered 2 each with a salad. We had so much food arriving all at once that it could barely fit on the table. Unfortunately this spoilt the experience for us, however everything was very tasty. Be warned, order less and add extra later!

Immaculate service and great bartending! We ordered Yin and Tony, Hotel Nacionale and Presidente. Had an unforgettable time! Ambience was chill tbh.
My second visit , still amazing place and service !.
If you really want to find out if a place like this one is an excellent venue , repeat your visit to confirm it. That is what I just did to. I grabbed my friends and arrived there on a Sunday when every body was watching the NFL Super Bowl Game. And look what happened , the place did not have the large crowd and we could really enjoy the finest cocktails , the yummy tapas served there , the amazing live bandβs music, even we could dance and we had a terrific evening thanks this time to the amazing bartenders : Alexei and Israel. Both are very professional , eager to help you and recommend favorite cocktails . They both treat us like family and this is the especial thing I love about β Cafe La Trova β. The hostess are very courteous , and the food servers too. Security and valet parking staff very professional as well. My congratulations to the entire team to make it for the second time . Keep up the good work!.
Donβt miss the Happy Hour and music when in Little Havana-outstanding!
We came two different nights on our trip to Miami. Barabaro -our bartender was amazing! 31 years of experience and it showed-amazing service! We came for happy hour 5-7pm and stayed for the music-and the bartenders join in! Happy hour snacks are delicious but we also had the ceviche and flan off the menu-outstanding!
THE VIBE, SERVICE AND FOOD IS OUTSTANDING !
Our first visit to a Cuban restaurant and the food, service and ambience was outstanding. The VIBE is FAB and if we are in Miami again we will go again.
CafΓ© La Trova - a dining adventure!
Cafe La Trova is a wonderful place to enjoy a total experience. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the food is delicious, and the music is authentic in a wonderful way. Guests feel uplifted by the ambiance and are swept away to an imagined Cuba. We will certainly recommend CafΓ© la Trova to friends and family who are planning trips to Miami and to those who live in Florida who may be looking for an amazing place to have a dining adventure.
Exceptional Experience
CafΓ© La Trova was one of the most fun, flavorful, and fantastic dining experiences Iβve ever had. The live music was sensational. The food was exquisite. The service was first rate. No notes.
Date night at La Trova
We had an absolutely amazing meal here! Service was prompt and friendly, and we loved the empanadas (sweet corn and Cuban sandwich) and the fried snapper. Showstopper was the ropa vieja and the cocktails! Weβll be back any time weβre in Miami.
