Our waitress Leah made our experience so enjoyable. We were here playing golf and we will definitely eat there again. The food was excellent and the piano player entertaining.
Misleading advertisement regarding "Happy Hour" prices. Paid $19.26 for 3 red stripe bottled beers during Happy Hour! No draft beer available...
I can't say enough about the place. What a wonderful experience. All in all, my date was impressed, drinks were flavorful, food looked awesome, performances were solid and just a nice vibe all the way around. Bravo Zulu!
So we saw the web site and 'This is the place to be in Vero Beach". So we walked there and waited at the door for 10 minutes to be greeted. They were filled, about 40 people. The Tapas menu was basically a Thai appetizer menu, no Spanish tapas.? Told the regular chef was away and the regular bartender was away, and the main restaurant was closed. Had Stone IPA on hand, a treat, until I asked for a second one and was told there was only one. So we made the best of it. the piano player played and then someone screwed up the computer for the bar and meal tabs, so we paid in cash. She returned with $10 extra and I was tempted to keep it but I returned it and was told, 'At least you're honest". i guess that was a thanks. Then the Frank Sinatra albums came on and we took our leave. Maybe I need to mature 20 or 30 years to truly appreciate the place.
Amazing Duck Confit Mac and Cheese and Seafood Bisque - great staff. Very attentive and the music was top notch.
I visit each time I'm in Vero and always enjoy the atmosphere. Great staff and terrific musicians. Can't forget the food...also terrific!
The only complaint I have about Havana Nights is that it is hard to find. It's off the beaten path and tucked away behind hedges and up a flight of stairs with very little signage But I am glad I found it. I took a "first date" up the stairs and had a fantastic experience from the minute we set foot in the door. The piano player had just started playing, the bar was filled and the booth we sat in even had cushions fluffed for comfort. Our server, Marcella greeted us, brought us our menus, our drinks, our food and even talked us in to her favorite dessert - the Triple Layer Crisp (I can't remember the exact name). She was very friendly and new about everything on the menu. Even the General Manager came to our table to check on us and tell us about some new things happening. I am looking forward to coming back for their poetry night and the jazz singer in July. The food was fantastic and we were told there was a new chef. I don't know what the previous chef was like, but the new one knocked our socks off. Thanks to Havana and a great staff I think I will be bringing more "first dates" back - maybe even some second dates!
We are so sorry to have to write this review, but our experience left much to be desired. The singer is indeed too loud for such a small place - we would love to appreciate his considerable talent and voice acoustically - its a small room. We ordered from both the tapas menu and the main menu. The tapas was some cubed cheese and a few slices of sausage with no presentation - just toothpicks sticking out like an impromptu cocktail party. The cold cauliflower curry soup was just weird. My friend and I both ordered the spinach shitake mushroom salad; her's was quite small, like a house salad, mine looked like an entree size; neither of us could find more than a couple slices of mushroom...this salad costs $14. Every item on the mixed grill was underdone and the mixture of items was not complimentary to each other: bok choi, corn souffle (which tasted like flan,) pickled beet relish, potato gratin. For dessert we had to try the plum ice cream, but it wasn't evident that the chef had tried it; just not good. Our friends were so excited to introduce us to the Havana Nights Piano Bar, but it was such a disappointing experience they have been apologizing to us all day. The room is lovely, the bread rolls and soft butter are tasty, and our waiter...Llandro..was very good. But the menu is too unreliable and inconsistent for us to recommend or for us to return. Sorry.
The Piano Bar was a beautiful ending to a relaxing day! Very quaint and romantic atmosphere with soft piano playing melodies that enhance the mood. Food was very good and cocktails that rock. The management was very attentive. We look forward to our next visit.
We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and went to Havana Nights both nights. The first night was ladies night and the bar was full. We had appetizers (scallops and salmon, both were excellent) and a glass of wine. Service was excellent, the piano guy was very good. I liked his classical music although some in our party wanted more up to date. The next night we got to the bar around 9ish and the kitchen was closed so we just had dessert. No one else was there and the piano guy had left. I guess that's what you get when its off season. We didn't mind though. We had the place to ourselves. Its a very cozy bar. We would go back again.
