We sat on patio and view was wonderful. Live Cuban band was great. Super service, tasty cocktails and yummy food. A total win. Make reservations for patio tho, it was busy.

We have loved Hemingways in the past, but were sadly disappointed on our recent visit. It started when our server brought us water in plastic cups. Drinks from the bar were served in real glasses, thankfully, so why not the water? The menu has been reduced to a few Cuban entres and a handful of sandwiches, two of which are burgers which we can get at any restaurant. There were no dinner specials and the dinners available on the menu came with no salad or other sides. The place was mostly empty yet drinks were slow to arrive as was our food order. When making the reservation, the app asked about any special occasions, and I indicated we were celebrating a birthday, yet no one commented on that or suggested a special dessert for the table --- which we might have bought, had we not been so ready to leave after such a long wait for so-so food. It was sad to see a once thriving, vibing spot so empty and dull. I hope whoever is in charge can bring it back to life, because we really did love the food and the atmosphere before!

Service was excellent!! Food was very disappointing. Soup was cold and empanadas dry and tasteless. I was there a couple of years ago and the food was much better.

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.

Great service. Some gluten free options but they show concern for your allergens. Great veiw.

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.

We had a very enjoyable time at this restaurant. We ordered lemon drop martinis and they were delicious. We also ordered the ceviche, a blackened mahi-mahi sandwich and the pastelitos de guayaba for dessert. The food was very tasty and the dessert was amazing. Our bartender served us dinner and provided great service. The restaurant has beautiful views of the mountains so it’s a great place to enjoy a great meal or just go for drinks and relax.

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

We were excited about visiting until we ate the food. I had anticipated a well seasoned entree with loster and rice but certainly disappointed. Although, the salad was spot on.
