Amazing experience. Staff had amazing cigar recommendations. The courtyard and bar were by far the best experience you can find on Bourbon St. It’s quiet, quaint, and a perfect place to unwind. The staff went out of their way to make amazing drinks and made the experience a standout in our trip here. I will be back anytime I am in the area. This is a must stop for cigar enthusiasts or people that appreciate a more relaxed atmosphere.

Awesome place and great people. Cigar friendly as well. We were here for 5 days. Millie was awesome. But on our last night, she wasn’t there and we had bad service, they ran out of what we drink. We were told the at we could get steaks on Sunday and no availability. That was really disappointing.
La Habana is easily one of the best dining spots in town, especially for those who appreciate a perfectly cooked steak paired with a lively, welcoming atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, the restaurant’s warm energy and modern Cuban-inspired décor create an inviting setting that balances elegance and comfort. The open-air layout adds to the charm, making it an ideal spot for both intimate dinners and group outings. The highlight of La Habana is undoubtedly its steak. Each cut is grilled to perfection — juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The chefs demonstrate true craftsmanship, offering a range of selections that satisfy every palate, from rich ribeyes to delicate sirloins. The dishes are complemented by fresh sides and signature sauces, making each bite memorable and placing La Habana among the top spots for steak in town. The experience extends beyond food. The restaurant’s scenic view adds a special touch, especially during sunset or under evening lights, providing a beautiful backdrop that enhances the overall vibe. Guests can enjoy the gentle sound of a fountain and festive lighting that transforms the patio into a lively yet relaxed escape. Adding to the atmosphere is La Habana’s live band, which performs nightly with a mix of Latin, jazz, and soulful tunes. The music fills the space with vibrant energy while still allowing for easy conversation. Altogether, La Habana offers a complete experience — excellent food, a beautiful setting, and an unforgettable ambiance perfect for any occasion.
The live music, beautiful courtyard, and vibes are IMMACULATE. However, prices are insane. Well shots for mixed drinks are $15 each and a High Noon was $12. Besides that, will highly recommend.
We were a group of about 13 people, and the waitress took everyone's order. Several of us ordered steaks without being told there was any issue with availability. Only after everyone's order had been taken did she come back and tell us the restaurant only had five steaks left. What made the experience so disappointing was that at no point before taking our orders did anyone mention they only had five steaks remaining. Had we been told upfront, we would have ordered something else without any problem. Instead, we were left changing our meals after already expecting what we had ordered. For a restaurant, especially when serving a large party, this is basic communication. A simple warning before taking our orders would have avoided the frustration. Unfortunately, this experience left us very disappointed and took away from what should have been an enjoyable meal.
