"Perfectly Miami! Savory, crunchy snacks and cocktails that will knock your socks off. We got the Raspberry 75 and a mojito, the best one I've had so far. The back space is an 80's vibe, and the front room has a beautiful modern Cuban look with live music."
"A perfect place for the 80's & 90's music in the heart of Calle 8! Love this place not only for its food and variety of drinks, but for the music they have between midnight and 2 a.m. This place is my number#1 choice for dancing. I do not know any other place who loves the 80's more than I do. If you love salsa music, they have a band which plays before the DJ takes over with the American music. Of course, the atmosphere is great with Generation X lol. Parking might be a bit hard to find, but it is worth it."
"Good drinks. Good food. The place was super packed, and we did not have great luck with our server because they had to run around to serve a lot of tables. Great live music. Fun place."
"A top Cuban sit down joint for sure. Live music and people dancing added to the charm. Food was excellent as well as service. Loads of fantastic drinks, and top-notch Cuban dishes, the steaks were amazing, and perfectly prepared. Super-fun atmosphere!"
"That was one of the most memorable evening out experiences my party and I ever had. We ordered a large sampling of the menu, each thing that we tried was so amazing. A food amausement park! All of chef Michelle and her teams awards are well deserved ! A master of her craft. The live band helped take us to another place. We would love to find out the name of the group so I can get some of their music! Thank you for a night we will not forget Cafe La Trova team. The mixology program amazed us all equally as well. Our host and everyone was super welcoming and treated us so well all around. We are here in town from Bismarck, ND for a few more days and may come by again :)."
