5/5 by 👻 @Gonzalo F. on 03/21/2023

This was my second time at Cafe La Trova and it did not disappoint. The food is a creative mix of Cuban fusion dishes with some unique blend of tastes. Love the cod fritters (buenuelos de bacalao). In addition, the server was accommodating and helpful at all times. And of course the music and ambiance is great too. New favorite restaurant in Miami for this visiting Cuban from California.

4/5 by 👻 @Will L. on 03/19/2023

Made reservations with close friend's of ours at Cafe La Trova. Great environment to enjoy live Cuban band performances. The layout of the restaurant didn't feel as crowded which is a plus. The food was of high quality. Definitely a fun place to visit if you're from out of town.

One of our favorite places

5/5 by 👻 @Dona J on 03/18/2023

We love this restaurant. The food is great. The service and atmosphere is a must in Miami. Oh and don't forget the music!!! We love taking our visitors there and no one has been disappointed even the teenage granddaughters.

This saddens me to write this review as I've been dying to

1/5 by 👻 @Katrina G. on 03/18/2023

This saddens me to write this review as I've been dying to go to Cafe La Trova since they first opened and finally, I had an excuse; my bday! I rounded up my family, everyone was excited as well, I called to book a reservation. The second I told them we are 11 people, it was a nightmare.. any groups over 10 people require a large group reservation which includes signing a contract and 459 different strict rules. First off, they make you put down a credit card and sign a contract which is normal for any restaurant with a large party. However, most restaurants have a prefix menu where everyone can select their own choices from a small menu. Well Cafe La Trova only gives you the option to choose 2 apps, 2 entrees and 1 dessert served family style for $59/pp plus 22% tip plus taxes - the options are just okay. If you want more options, you have to pay more but it's not worth it for the food they're serving. I'm sure you know how difficult it is to accommodate everyone in a group of 11 with just two options for the table. At my table I had two guests allergic to seafood .. we had to pick fish and ropa vieja, I asked if they can please swap a fish for arroz con pollo so they don't die and they said no, that it will be an additional $29 and if I don't want to pay extra, that those guests can simply just eat the ropa vieja. What a response lol (they only brought 3 ropa viejas for 11 people). This is ridiculous, most restaurants can accommodate an allergy. So many red flags from the beginning, I should have just gone elsewhere where they actually want my business. Fast forward to the day of my birthday dinner. I choose Cafe La Trova because they were Named Top 50 bars in the world so I had high expectations. Every single drink we ordered was extremely sweet, I have a hangover just thinking about it and diabetes. Such a shame. Now let's talk about the food, croquettas were good, calamari was tasteless, ropa vieja was okay and the fish was very fishy. Mind you, we complained about the fish and instead of swapping it for something else, the owner, Julio, told us to go to Sergio's if we don't like it.. seriously? Overall, huge disappointment and bad experience from the moment I booked the reservation. This is not how I pictured my birthday with my family. I hope Cafe La Trova fixes their large party rules because it's ridiculous and you should not speak to your guests like that if they complain about the food. I used to work in a restaurant and I would simply apologize and ask my guests what they would like instead and comp the dish they didn't enjoy. This could have avoided a bad review. Worst part is that we were forced to pay 22% tip when the service was mediocre. If you know me, I never write bad reviews but this was just such a terrible experience and really ruined my bday.

😍

Experience the real miami.

5/5 by 👻 @Lynn B on 03/17/2023

What an amazing experience. This is the place to get an authentic feel for Miami and it’s cuisine. The food was delicious. Favorite dishes prepared simply and deliciously. The empanadas were wonderful as were the croquettes. And the life music really made you feel like you were in Havana. Great place for friends or family to have a great night out. Would definitely go back.

😍

Amazing evening with live music, great food and drinks!

5/5 by 👻 @Alex P on 03/17/2023

We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere; the music was electric - when visiting Miami, we'll make sure to come again. Thanks la Trova Team - you made our evening

5/5 by 👻 @Marissa M. on 03/16/2023

The vegan entree was great. I do wish they had a few more vegan options, such as a vegan empanada or dessert. The cocktails were some of the best we had in Miami. Highly recommend.

5/5 by 👻 @Andrew C. on 03/16/2023

Excellent late night vibe! The service was quick and the place is very lively with loud music and lots of people talking. The food was above average but not the absolute greatest in my opinion. I really enjoyed their drinks and dessert! Also the live music really made this place a must go to experience!

😍

This is my favorite Cuban restaurant.

5/5 by 👻 @Kelvin E. on 03/15/2023

This place is set up to teleport you right to Havana. The live Salsa and some good Rum. The food was delicious. Can't believe how fast everything was coming out. This place could be a nice spot to go on a date.

🤢

Very lively ambiance but the food was subpar.

2/5 by 👻 @Richard R. on 03/14/2023

With so many Cuban restaurants in Miami this one definitely falls short. Not sure what flavor profile the chef was going for but it is definitely lacking. The only two dishes I would say are the jamón serrano croquettes and the risotto croquettes. The fried cheese was served cold (gross), the snapper was flavorless, the ropa vieja was very chunky and not shredded as it should be, the rabo encendido pasta was missing something. The only reason for the two stars are the lively ambiance due to the live band and the quick service from our waiter. I will not be coming back, and suggest you try any other Cuban restaurant.

😍

A must try when in Miami (or anytime really)

5/5 by 👻 @Paul R on 03/04/2023

My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience at Cafe La Trova and appreciate the warm welcome we received from the team. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the menu, each dish and drink were simply memorable. The overall atmosphere was delightful and contributed to a memorable birthday dining experience, which made us feel valued as customers. It was a pleasure dining at Cafe La Trova, and we look forward to returning soon. Congratulations to all of you!

😍

Fabulous all around!

5/5 by 👻 @Tere on 03/01/2023

The food was fabulous, the ambiance was fun, happy and exciting, but the service was IMPECABLE. They removed the empty dishes before bringing the next course, filled the water glasses often, were attentive to our needs without hovering over the table. Congratulations to La Trova!

The service is 5 star. El Chino and Anllel (i hope i typed it correctly) are very prepared and knows their stuff. Cocktail list is amazing, no wonder why they’re in the best 50’s bars. Nos vemos pronto.

SO DISAPPOINTED

1/5 by 👻 @elouizydfreitas on 02/14/2023

SO dissatisfied and disappointed. From New York and made a reservation on 2/5 knowing we would spend valentines Day in Miami. NO ONE called or emailed on the prefixe menu, and what the details of the menu was going to be (important if you’re claiming to me an “authentic Cuban restaurant” yet the menu was served was Mediterranean”). Got here, was extremely surprised and trapped because it’s Valentine’s Day and nowhere else was available last minute. The prefixes menu was 110, claimed “family style”, we were 4 people and it was comfortable portion for 2. Not one person asked how our meal was. We walked out towards the end and asked the hostess (who also happened to be standing with the manager or someone who looked like he was), and we asked when they put that menu on the website, they very matter-of-factly stated they said they did so “10 days ago”, and when we stated we made the reservations when we did, they said “we’ll they did what they had to do”. The worst service and food for what we paid, not one Cuban menu item, 650 for a subpar experience and food that had 0 to do with the culture it claims. We do not have a problem with spending if it’s worth it. This was absolutely NOT worth it!!!!!

😍

Amazing food, superb cocktails and entertainment!!

5/5 by 👻 @Joanna on 02/03/2023

This place was recommended and it did not disappoint. Such attentive service from the minute we walked in the door. René the manager was so professional and hospitable. Our waitress whose name I forgot was superb and despite how busy the place was, the service was top notch. The octopus and the crab cakes are a must try as is the pork with pineapple. In fact, everything was so tasty. To add to the wonderful Cuban fare, the live music and buzzing atmosphere accompanied by some of the best cocktails we've ever had made it a perfect evening.

Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 8:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by 👻 @DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 4:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by 👻 @EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 11:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by 🥷🏻 @ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 6:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by 🦩 @FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 8:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
