⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had the pleasure of dining at Calle Dragones, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant atmosphere and the unique fusion of Cuban and Asian flavors on the menu. The standout of the night, however, was the impeccable service provided by Gabi. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure every detail of our dining experience was perfect. Gabi’s warm and professional demeanor truly elevated the entire evening. If you’re looking for an excellent dining experience in Miami, I highly recommend Calle Dragones. I’ll definitely be back! #CalleDragonesExperienceYou can personalize it further based on your specific experience!

Our server Gabi was great. We came to celebrate a birthday and it was a great time, the decor and vibe was elegant. Food fusion is creative and it was delicious but my opinion it was a bit overpriced. There was plenty of street parking when we arrived around 730pm but the valet is very convenient.That day there were no dancers, we thought it was going to be like a cabaret show so was a bit disappointed.The show started with the piano and 1 singer, which had an amazing lounge feel. Then the rest of the band arrived and it was more lively set. After the band the DJ started with more of a club vibe.

I came to Calle Dragones because a friend of mine recommended to me and I have to say that I loved it. The service and the food was 10/10. The server Gaby provided us a top star service, she recommended the plates and we loved them. I must say that the seafood tostones, the croquetas and the fried rice were my favorites. The drinks are so good too, the bartender was Juan Carlos, super nice guy!!! Overall I loved the place, we had a great experience, the drinks, the food, the service, everything was perfect. highly recommend it.

We passed by after a terrible experience at a different restaurant nearby. We were so please with Gaby as server. She was spectacular. Dany made a couple of nice drinks. The ambiance, service, music, food quality were impecable. We really had a nice time. The chef and owner showed us a special plate. The food is Cuban Asian fusion. Wine selection, drinks presentation as you can see in the pictures. Live Cuban music. Comfortable chairs and valet parking. This is an excellent place in Calle 8 to have a really wonderful time either with your family, a date or as a couple. Stop by and check.

Awesome overall experience, tasty food and amazing entertainment! We went to celebrate a romantic birthday dinner and were served by Chabely, who made the night experience amazing! She was kind and very attentive. The decoration is very glamorous and the cuban band played superb!! The food and drinks were delicious and they arrived super fast! Will recommend the black beans risotto🩷 Definitely a must-place to go if you are a local or a tourist. It felt like we were living in the old havana golden days!

Luis, was our waiter and went above and beyond to accommodate us upstairs when we asked for a quieter table. He came frequently to check on us and brought fresh ice several times.His food suggestions were really great.Food was delicious!

Upon an impromptu visit, I discovered this restaurants remarkable ambiance, boasting charming live music and a seductive decor, perfect for a romantic outing or a cozy dinner. Although the cocktails were enjoyable, they leaned slightly towards the pricey side. The culinary experience was a delight, particularly with the must-have octopus and delectable short rib; however, I found the food a tad salty, which might be anticipated in Caribbean cuisine. Despite that, the service was commendable. Id certainly return for drinks and appetizers due to the overall positive experience.

Ok this was a massive surprise. My husband and I have not been out on Valentines for 20 years due to the horrible service given on a night like tonight. Not only did our waitress Ana course out our meal perfectly, it was delicious. Great experience even at a night like Valentines. Must try the Crispy dumplings, Duck fried rice and Risotto. All the appetizers were delicious too. We only had 6. lol

This place it is fairly new and maybe will survive their first year in business. The place is beautiful. We got a reservation for a Saturday night for out big group a few hours prior, thats why i said that i hope this business survive. Now they should be take care of their customers a little better specially the bartender. My friends got there early and they got charged $250 for two doubles of Macallan 15 years . My dear Owner the whole bottle cost $170!!!!! In the liquor store!! At least have the courtesy to let your customer knows! There is nothing that i hate the most see a list of drinks with no prices!! The food is good but not great and the portions are definitely small foe the prices!!! Our server was great he was always was on top of what we want. He honestly earn his tip!! But even our server knew!!! 22% tip is going to be included in the bill!! When we were paying he make sure that we knew that!! Afloja!!!!!

Another bday dinnner and we enjoyed the Cuban fried rice (ate it too fast to take a pic), the sea bass (my friend raved about this, wanted to kiss the cook) and the dumplings …everything was delicious and the Thursday night energy was electric. The place was packed and a full vibe.

Calle Dragones offers a captivating setting for hosting out-of-town guests, boasting an elegantly decorated environment adorned with chandeliers, plush velvet seating, and an overall inviting atmosphere. The ambiance is further enhanced by the excellent live music, which was at a pleasant volume during our visit.The menu presents an intriguing fusion of Asian and Cuban flavors, with all dishes being satisfactorily prepared. While the culinary offerings were decent, they might not stand out as the primary draw for those seeking exceptional dining based solely on food quality.As expected in Miami, the prices are on the higher side. This venue shines as a choice for an experience-oriented outing rather than a culinary destination.I would consider returning primarily for the unique atmosphere when entertaining guests from out of town.

From the moment you walk in you are captivated by elegance in decor. The staff was super polite and attentive especially my waitress, Gabriella. She was friendly and was great at recommending us drinks and main dishes, all was delicious. Highly recommend the pork belly and octopus for appetizers and risotto with vaca frita back ribs for main dish. Also, the vibe was great as was the live band and DJ. The owner was present and made his way around the guest and even took pictures which I found very personable of him. We stayed for 3+ and enjoyed every moment. We are definitely going back.

Caramelized octopus3. Seabass street dragons3. Risotto congri and short ric vaca fritaYou have to go, it is a jewel of Latin and Cuban culture, in Miami. it is a must must must

A block away from Café La Trova, this is now a new favorite in Calle Ocho. I was excited for the Miami Spice menu and didnt know Id like the joint as much as I did. Very Latin and tropical vibes when you walk in and the bar at the entrance is gorgeous. I went on a Sunday night and though they do live music from Thursday to Sunday, this night is slower than most and I was ok with it. I do have to come back for the Havana nights on Fridays which is supposed to be a heck of a show and live entertainment. Tonight was a piano player and a lovely lady singing Cuban and Latin classics. Service is top tier from both the waitstaff and the bartenders so thats a plus. Now as far as the food and drinks, let me break it down for ya...ELEGGUA: tequila patron silver with chile liquor and a lemon, passion fruit and peach foam. I wasnt a fan of it and for $20 that sucked for me and I think maybe that foam didnt work for me. Also it was lacking a good punch so Id never go for it again although as far as the cocktail itself it has great presentation.OLD FASHIONED: this was way better, not because my go to has always been an old fashioned but because it was perfectly mixed/crafted and served with a unique touch of class if you look at the picture below.CRISPY GYOZA: stuffed grilled eggplant and mushrooms these are not your traditional pork, shrimp or chicken dumplings but just as delicious if not more. Maybe its that Asian black garlic aioli and orange agria ponzu. Not exactly sure what that crispy thing on top was but I wasnt mad about it.DUCK CONFIT FRIED RICE: this has got to be one of the most delicious fried rice dishes Ive ever tasted. Crispy duck meat on perfectly cooked jasmine rice, fried egg on top and crispy string potatoes I believe. It looked small at first but it was very filling. Not like any other fried rice Ive tasted at a Chinese joint but different in the best way.CHOCOLATE SZECHUAN: I was bummed out they didnt have the crema catalana and the waitress said this was my only other option. It was supposed to be a chocolate tres leches with a side of chocolate ice cream. I wasnt a fan of this because it was too much chocolate for me personally. Even the cookie crumble was chocolate so I guess if chocolate is lifefor you, this is probably a good choice.I had the pleasure of conversing with Imaray, the manager onsite and she was the most courteous and delightful manager Ive interacted with lately. Like I mentioned before I have to come back for dinner and a show on a Friday night and try a few other delicious items in this menu. Also theres plenty of street parking in the area.

My recent visit to Calle Dragones was an unforgettable experience. We came to celebrate my best friends birthday, and the place did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed warmly by the hosts. We enjoyed some drinks while waiting for the rest of our party to arrive, and the bartenders service was impeccable. Once we were seated, Gabi, our server, greeted us with a smile. She recommended some appetizers from the menu, including the octopus, pork belly, and giosas. The food was beyond delicious, and the portions were generous. Gabi was attentive to our needs throughout the night, even bringing us free shots to celebrate. If you decide to visit Calle Dragones, I highly recommend Gabi as your server. I am already planning my next visit to this beautiful place and cant wait to try more of their menu offerings.

Review №29

Originally came to Calle Dragones for Miami Spice but after seeing the full menu there were a few things that caught my eye. Make sure to come dressed appropriately. It is a more upscale restaurant/lounge. Several of the other reviews mention they were not allowed entrance to the restaurant because of their outfits.The parking is, well there is no parking. Come in a Uber or you’ll have to drive around till you find something on the street. Once we arrived the restaurant was busy and we had to wait about 15 minutes to get a table. They have a show about every hour with live music and dancing. They also have a dj to play tunes throughout the night. Our waitress Ana took good care of us throughout the night. The decor on the inside is as if your stepping into a cuban bar in Cuba.The drinks and good and strong but about $20 a drink. Just be warned they can add up quick. 3 drinks and a water were $80. To eat we tried the lechón dumplings and they were yummy. The sauce they came with was a perfect compliment. The food did take a little bit to come out but they were busy and we were having a good time.The Miami spice menu is a good option to try but since we were sharing plates it came out just the same to order from the full menu. The first thing that caught my eye was the risotto congri and short rib vaca frita. It sounds good on the menu and tastes just as good. My only suggestion would be to have at least a few more pieces of vaca frita. The ratio of vaca frita to rice was very little. It came with only 4 pieces. Nonetheless it was delicious but I’d definitely like more meat especially for a $38 plate.We also ordered the Korean short rib. For $46 it comes cut in 6 pieces. The meat is mouthwatering and so juicy. It comes with ingredients to make lettuce wraps but just eating by itself it was delicious. And helped cover the lack of vaca frita to mix with the congri.For desert I had the crema catalana. It comes in an orange and had mixed reviews at the table. It is not sweet at all so if you’re expecting a sweet desert choose something else. I though it was decent.Between the show, the decor, and the food we had a great time. It’s a very Miami experience! I’d say the food is a little pricey for what you get but that’s become Miami lately.

Calle Dragones, nestled in the heart of Miamis Little Havana on SW. 8th St., is a Cuban fusion restaurant that aims to capture the spirit of old Havana while delivering a modern culinary experience. Parking is relatively convenient, with options available both on the street and through valet service.Upon entering, the restaurant’s ambiance is immediately evocative of a bygone era in Cuba, with its bar area offering a cozy spot to enjoy a cocktail while awaiting your table. This nostalgic setting holds promise, but as the evening unfolded, it became clear that the culinary execution struggled to meet expectations.The night’s menu featured an Asian-Cuban fusion theme, and we opted for selections from their Miami Spice menu: salmon carpaccio, coffee-rubbed churrasco, and chocolate bread pudding. While the concept was intriguing, the food ultimately fell short. The salmon carpaccio had a vibrant freshness one would expect but the coffee-rubbed churrasco, unfortunately, arrived overcooked, robbing the dish of its potential depth and tenderness. The chocolate bread pudding, while adequate, did little to redeem the preceding course.Service, however, was a bright spot. The staff were attentive, personable, and well-versed in the menu, handling inquiries about the drink selection with ease. Calle Dragones boasts an extensive liquor list, including a diverse array of mezcals. Yet, the experience was marred by the fact that several options on the menu were out of stock—a disappointing oversight for a venue of this ambition.One area where Calle Dragones truly excels is in its live entertainment. The evening’s music began at 8 PM with a live band and vocalist delivering an engaging performance that gradually increased in tempo and energy. By the time midnight rolled around, guests were fully immersed in salsa dancing, a testament to the infectious atmosphere created by the musicians. A DJ took over after midnight, ensuring the revelry continued well into the early hours.Pricing at Calle Dragones is in line with similar establishments, with the Miami Spice menu priced at $45—a slight bargain compared to the typical $60 offerings elsewhere for 2024. Drinks range from $15 to $30, with premium options available for those seeking something more exclusive.In conclusion, while Calle Dragones offers a vibrant and lively atmosphere complemented by outstanding service and entertainment, the food fails to leave a lasting impression. For those seeking a memorable night out filled with music and dance, this spot might just hit the mark. However, those with high culinary expectations may find themselves hoping for more. A return visit may be in order for the drinks and live show, but only if the kitchen can rise to the occasion.

Excellent atmosphere, fun live music, great food, perfect place for groups or dates. A true Cuban experience in Calle Ocho.Only complaint is that our waitress was slow, although very sweet and polite, but she asked us to leave for next reservation to get seated, although we didn’t get all the food we ordered, then we wanted more drinks and dessert and we didn’t have a chance to order and enjoy because they showed us the check and made us pay and told us we had to go.

Terrible parking situation (no valet) and offers an overpriced dinner experience (they will charge you for a “show” fee on top of your bill, which is nonnegotiable). The show is just a couple people dancing, not really a “show.” Food was very good and service was great as well. For this price point, I’d rather dine at finer establishments.

I had the pleasure of visiting calle Dragones 🐉 en Calle 8 recently and I am still captivated by the magical blend of Cuban and Asian cuisine, live music, and unforgettable performances. This is no ordinary restaurant; its a culinary and cultural experience that leaves you yearning for more.From the moment I stepped through the door, the fusion between Cuban and Asian flavors was evident. The gastronomic delights served by their highly skilled, five-star chef are nothing short of extraordinary. The unique blend of flavors dance on your palate, taking you on a journey from the vibrant streets of Havana to the bustling markets of Bangkok. Every dish is a testament to the expertise of the chef, promising a dining experience that is both exotic and familiar.The service was superb. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, enhancing the dining experience with their exceptional service. They take pride in their work and it shows in the way they cater to each guests needs.However, the culinary experience is only the beginning. As the sun sets, the atmosphere transforms with the rhythmic melodies of classic Cuban boleros. This sets the stage for a night of incredible live performances, featuring the entrancing beats of Cuban dance music, the thundering rhythms of timbales, and the mesmerizing spectacle of lighted angels dancing.The climax of the evening was the spectacular DJ set, starting with the famous Bella Chao. Characters from the popular Spanish series, Money Heist, come alive to provide an immersive entertainment experience. The energy is infectious, adding to the excitement of the night.I recommend Calle Dragones 🐉 en Calle 8 for an unforgettable night. This is not just a place to eat, but a destination where food, music, and culture fuse into an extraordinary experience. Rest assured, you won’t be disappointed. In fact, I am confident that, like me, you will be planning your next visit even before the night is over.

This place is amazing! Wonderful entertainment and the food is superb. Think Chinese/asian meets Cuban. We had The papas bravas, crispy gyozas and Octopus (btw the octopus was OUT OF THIS WORLD - think egg foo young from a Chinese restaurant, but octopus - this dish was by far my favorite and blew me away from a creativity standpoint)For main, I had the Sea Bass, perfectly cooked and the avocado poblano puree was such a nice touch. My husband had the seafood fried rice and it too was amazing!My only critique is that the wait staff is spread a little thin and so service is not as attentive as I think it should be for the prices you are paying, but this is a unique and amazing experience, we will definitely be back

I came in for Valentines Day this place is very beautiful. The cocktails were really good. If you are into old fashions theirs with the peanut and maduros infusion is wonderful. Overall the ambiance and aesthetic are pretty fantastic.Now, leaving that aside my experience was, to put it bluntly, not good. I had a reservation for 8:30 PM but the place was so packed, that we had to wait 20 minutes to get a table. After waiting for so long I was presented with this tiny round table next to the restroom. Most of our plates wouldnt even fit.The appetizers were ok the only remarkable dish was the mushrooms. Between appetizers and main courses, the wait time was long. But nothing like dessert which took more than 45 minutes to come. I tried to remind the server multiple times but the guy was so busy that could barely even see us.I was told that the dessert was going to be a courtesy for the wait. But the server left me with the little computer thing to pay and left. When I checked the dessert was still included. Tried to call back but surprise, nowhere to be found. In the end, I got upset and figured out the buttons to press, pay, and leave.I was disappointed. Because the ambiance, live music, and few cocktails I tried were good. Service and food wise was an awful experience.If I were to go back, I would go for a few drinks enjoy a couple of songs, and leave to have dinner at another place.

It was perhaps one of the worst experiences at a renowned venue. Starting from the chaotic reception area where 3 hostesses were in total disarray. It took over 45 min to be “ checked in” and then to be seated next to the entrance missing the “ performances” and the show for Valentine’s Day.Be careful with the server as the server tried to scroll rapidly on his iPad for us not to see extra items they had added to the bill. Scammy. They don’t care about providing the experience.The food was definitely a low. It came out cold and some dishes never showed.Unfortunately I had to pull the plug on a night I imagined going differently after doing my research.Too bad as the band/ and ambiance were decent.Do yourself a favor and drive 2 more blocks down to La Trova. Because calle dragones is not it.

The atmosphere and the live music were great. The food at this place was average at best. A couple of the items were very good, like the black beans and the appetizers, but the Vaca frita was dry. The place inside of a bowl of congru risotto, but it was dry.More importantly, I cant say enough how bad the service was. We sat in a table of 7. Our appetizers came out quickly and were great, so it looked promising, but thats about all they got right. To start with, our meals came out all staggered. One of our guests received their main first. Two more main courses came out 8 minutes later. Then, about 5 minutes later, they brought out 2 more, and finally, the last 2 main courses came out about 20 minutes after the first one came out. To top it off, 2 of the guests in our table ordered ice cream. One ordered vanilla and the other chocolate. They brought both ice creams in the same bowl. When we informed the waiter of the mistake, he apologized and took the bowl away only to separate the 2 flavors and bring out the vanilla in a new bowl and the same chocolate back, which had vanilla melted in the bowl. It would have been so easy to just serve a new chocolate ice cream. Im very disappointed. This place has potential, but they definitely have to get better with timing and customer service.

Do not go as a couple if you want to watch the “experience” (dancers, performers, and musicians) on a Friday or Saturday night!!! They try to put the larger parties downstairs put all the two tops upstairs. You WILL NOT be able to see ANYTHING if they seat you up there and they will try to charge you $25/person for it. I’ve added a photo of the “view” of the show from up there. We left immediately.

Review №102

THIS IS THE FIRST BAD REVIEW I LEAVE IN GOOGLE IN MY LIFE.HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE: they literally rushed in bringing us the check and said “WE NEED THE TABLE FOR THE NEXT PEOPLE THAT ARE WAITING.” We hadn’t finished our meal. We still had our after-dinner drinks almost full. We had been there for less than 70-80 minutes? Not even an hour and a half.They started rushing us from the time that we ordered the main course. We told the waitress we didn’t want to feel rushed and to bring us the check if they were in a rush. She said that was fine, until it wasn’t.Instead of apologizing for double booking a table, the waitress, hostess and manager all found it easier to find a justification to treat us like second-class customers.Additionally, and separately: totally overpriced food. Almost $400 spent on average quality food. We ordered 2 appetizers, a regular bottle of wine, one cocktail, a main course, and 2 after-dinner drinks. Really, you can find much better priced and quality food at Olds Havana (Calle Ocho).

Review №105

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. As locals, we were so excited to try this place, but unfortunately we did not have a great experience. Our table was double booked, so we were being rushed through the entire dinner. When we were ordering our food, we told the server we needed a minute to decide. She came back not thirty seconds later telling us we needed to hurry up and place the order soon. We did so without having had the time to fully appreciate the menu because we were being rushed. Towards the end of the dinner, our server and one of the hostesses again told us we needed to hurry up and finish our dinner because they needed the table. When we told her we were still not finished, they became very rude and told us we had taken more than an hour and a half. If you have exactly 1.5 hours for dinner, this is something that should be told to customers at the time of making the reservation. I would not have chosen to come here had I known I had exactly this amount of time or else I would be kicked out of my dinner table while I’m still not finished with my dinner. Never in all my experience of eating at restaurants, have I ever felt so STRESSED and rushed to finish a dinner. I experience enough stress in my daily life to also feel stressed on my Saturday night out at what was supposed to be a nice and relaxing dinner. When we expressed our feelings to the manager, she approached us with another man who was threatening us to calm down. We were not being rowdy or rude. We were upset and telling her about our experience, while this man moderated us like children. Aside from this extremely uncomfortable experience, the food was nothing special for how expensive it was. We spent nearly $400 for two people (one $80 bottle of wine, three appetizers, one entree, and two sides). We could have spent that anywhere else where the service would have made a much more pleasant experience. Please do not make the same mistake we made and stay away from this place. You will save yourself from a stressful and uncomfortable experience.

WINNER, WINNER, WINNERSHOW, FOOD, SERVICEI love music, shows and food. This is the perfect placeMy first visit to this location and its brunch. The atmosphere is open concept. The live show included I beautiful singer, amazing musicians (percussions, horns, and piano) and two exciting dancers.We were greeted at the door and day quickly.Anna took care of the four of us and two 7mth old babies. Her knowledgeable recommendations were on point. She kept us decide our drinks and food orders and as you can tell by this review we were very very satisfied.Technically when I go to places in Miami that have a good show, the food is mediocre.I absolutely loved it and the chef came out to greet us.

Made a reservation for Thanksgiving night with the family. When we arrived early, we were told to wait because we were too early. After waiting an hour and fifteen minutes after our reservation, it turns out our table had been given to someone else and thats why we kept having to wait; there was no table left for us. There was no rush to fix the issue. No concern or humanity shown by anyone. The owner kept walking by and didnt even acknowledge the issue or apologize. We were so upset that we left without ever being sat down. Overall, it was a terrible Thanksgiving experience. I regret trying to give them my business on a special day like today. Theres not much to be thankful for at this place.

We made a reservation, but when we arrived, they told me the kitchen didn’t open for another hour. The place is beautiful. We are really looking forward to the experience, which is supposed to include live music. There was none. We were fairly disappointed. I can only imagine how nice this place would be if everything was functioning the way it was advertised. But instead we ate in an empty dining room, just the two of us after waiting for an hour at the bar. the food was delicious, but the experience was not what we anticipated. When we asked about the inconsistencies they made it seem that OpenTable was incorrect, with no real apologies.

Review №121

Atmosphere is great! Service was really good too! The food… well let’s just say I’ll be eating before going next time. The food wasn’t terrible but definitely overpriced for the quality. The congri risotto was $40 and extremely bland and the rice was a little hard for risotto. I let my party try it and we all felt like it was missing something. I don’t mind paying the price but I promise you can go to la careta, get congri, add cheese and it’ll taste the same. Just know you will overpay for the show and the atmosphere. Don’t think I’ll ever be eating here again but definitely a cool place if you want drinks and a show. Oh and I was in a party of 6, so it’s automatic 22% gratuity 💀 plus a SERVICE charge which both totaled out to an extra $60 on top of the food tab for 1 person.

Wearing the same as people inside! The manager try to fix the situation but we prefer to go. Everyone in the group is a server and we know how restaurants works!

This is the second time we have been there for dinner. The first time, about a month ago, the food was great. Last Sunday we ordered the same thing, the congri with beef. Unfortunately, the meat was tough, fiberous, and full of fat. Other people in our party had similar complaints. I expected better based on the prices. Will not be back. Very disappointed.

What a wonderful find! I like to think this is what Havana in the 1950’s was all about. We went for the entertainment - Pedrito Calvo and his band were electric - the energy was amazing - music was pulsing through the place and people started spontaneously dancing everywhere. So much fun. Although we went for the entertainment - I was very surprised by the quality and taste of the food. It was almost as lovely as the band. Just a wonderful, authentic Miami evening - can’t wait to do it again.

The dragon’s den on Calle Ocho! I write this review with mixed feelings because being a Miami local I had high hopes for a cabaret style venue that would deliver the ambience and nostalgia of Havana’s golden years. We made reservations for Saturday night at 9:30pm. Disappointment commenced when we walked in and we’re greeted with a crowded bar of people waiting for their own reserved tables to be ready. The confusion coupled with the extremely loud live entertainment immediately created an unpleasant feeling. We were offered a glass of complimentary champagne while we waited .. however it did not appear. When I approached the hostess and asked for my reservation to be cancelled that we were going elsewhere. Immediately a 2 person table appeared for my party of 3. We had to wait until the table next to us became available to comfortably sit. When live entertainment has intermission the music playing on speakers is extremely loud not allowing for communication between the patrons and much less understand the waiter. Water service was very slow. Drinks had to be returned, out of the 3 different drinks we ordered only the Espresso Martini could hold its own. Fast forward to the bill the Tito’s Soda.. is priced at $18 PLUS $3 for the lemon and $5.00 for the soda , yes you are reading this correctly. The food was ok.. please keep in mind there is a $25 cover charge that was subject to a 20% gratuity. Upon pointing this out to the manager he immediately asked the waiter to correct as gratuity should not be added on the cover charge.

This was my second time. I came back thinking I was going to received the service I experienced the first time and I brought my kids. Unfortunately the food took forever to arrive. The food was half of what I received the first time and it had plenty of bones on top of the congris risotto, it was supposed to be pork chunks. Horrible I told the waitress and she did not have the decency to show some concern, change, or removed the poor quality risotto they served. With that being said I can say this was my last visit to this place. The only good thing about this place is the show and the bar.

My reservation was at 9pm, I was sat at 9:40, every time I asked how much longer I needed to wait for tables she told me she couldnt give me a time. Once we were finally given a table it was for 6, and our group was 7. One of the girls had stand for 10 mins till chair was brought and the chair they brought her was wet!!! Waiter by the name of Victor was very nice and welcoming, took our order but 45 mins later, came to tell us one of the apps was not available, THEN 20 mins later when everyone had received their entrees they tell me my entreee is no longer available.. the other entree option I ended up picking was brought to me 30 mins later when everyone was done eating... the manager was not helpful and im very disappointed because this place has potential.

Hello, so i had reservations for 9pm Saturday night and arrived on time but they wanted to sit us pretty much out of complete view of the “show” and entertainment. Aside from not seeing the show we had a crowd of people hovering over us who were waiting for a table. It was ridiculous these people all crowded in such a little space. Our waitress could not see us and we could not see her. The food was ok but because the service was so bad it made the food not great. I probably will not be coming back here.

Nice place … nice ambience .. unfortunately did not get too far in the place as we waited for half hour (9pm reservation ) and decided to leave to be able to catch food somewhere else … the girls managing the reservations had no clue what was going on. People were seated on a “I know who you are “ basis (typical Mayami) it seems that the girls up front may judge erroneously as they have no clue how much I would spend there. In any case, if the experience at the front door (with reservation) was quite undesirable, would not want to judge the rest based on that, but usually it all begins as you step in. Much success in your businesses.

We are not coming back and won’t recommend it . Only for tourist . NOT PARKING ( $ 20 dollars for 2 hours !!!)

Calle Dragones reverberates with Old Havana vibes coupled with upbeat music with live dancing. The minute you walk in, youre greeted by a hostess that walks you into a big room full with eclectic, tropical decor. Long, red draperies cover the length of the walls and set the mood. Throughout dinner, live entertainers walk down from a balcony singing and dancing to classic songs. The music seemed like 80s-themed. The bar is at the entrance next to the hostesses and you can see bartenders mixing shakers to prepare original cocktails. My favorite was a coconut-flavored drink made with gin and basil garnish. It is only fitting that this placed Calle Dragones was located on Calle Ocho.

This place is definitely a scene so if that’s what they’re going for its good. First its extremely loud so forget about any conversation.

Service and show charge put this place on par with Michelin restaurant pricing. Would not go back

Definitely, this place is not the best place to have dinner and conversation, but according to their intertaint concept, its OK. If you like noise and loud sound thats the place for you, the show was OK keeping the atmosphere focused on the show its a very busy and crowded location

After spending almost $300, on a table of 3, the server tells us they have another reservation at two hours and 15 minutes. Distasteful and not a place that values me as a customer. Made me feel unwelcome.

Made a reservation for 3 at 9:00 wasn’t seated until 9:39 then it was seating for only 2 and the table wasn’t clean while waiting for the table to be cleaned customers were screaming at us to get out of the view of the show however there was no where else to stand while waiting to get the table. Horrible customer service.

In my opinion..I would never come back here again..First and Last time!…If you plan to come… better be prepared to eat quick like a fast food restaurant…it’s sad how this nice place is really unprofessional and unethical..manager Rey can care less how much people are in the party. Horrible Service.
