Havana Vieja | Latin Restaurant Miami Beach

Not our first time at this long-standing waterfront restaurant on the Rickenbacker Causeway, but it was definitely one of the most memorable! The stunning views of the Miami skyline made the perfect backdrop for our anniversary celebration, and what truly made the night special was the outstanding service from our server, Matías. He was attentive, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. His warm personality and thoughtful touches elevated the entire experience. Thank you, Matías, for helping us create such a beautiful memory—we’ll definitely be back!

We chose The Rusty Pelican for a special dinner after getting engaged, mainly for the stunning views of the Miami skyline — and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was perfect, and the food was incredible. We had the surf and turf with the tomahawk steak, lobster, and shrimp mashed potatoes, all full of flavor and absolutely delicious. The server had impeccable service. The valet was also fantastic, especially navigating the rain to escort my fiancé and me from the car to the restaurant. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a memorable night out!

My sister, a local, said the Rusty Pelican is one of the best restaurants in Miami and she was not lying. The location is amazing! It's right on the water with beautiful views of the city. We went for their Sunset hour/happy hour and it did not disappoint. The food was so flavorful and delicious and the happy hour specials were fantastic. Roberto was our waiter, he was super friendly and attentive! I will have to stop by again on my next trip back to Miami.
