About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Discreetly located next to The Annie Café & Bar, Emilia’s Havana is an intimate, 50-seat lounge reminiscent of a vibrant 1950s Cuban club with a luxe Latin vibe. The latest from Berg Hospitality Group, guests will enjoy inventive interpretations of classic and contemporary Cuban-inspired cocktails by the James Beard award winning mixologist, Alba Huerta, along with an elevated wine list and bottle service. Perfect for a post-dinner snack, the light, Latin-inspired small plates by Executive Chef Brian Sutton are not to be missed.* The highlight of the evening? The live “bossa nova style” music performed at every seating by our house band along with tunes by local DJs on Friday and Saturday nights.

*PLEASE NOTE: Emilia’s Havana has lounge-style seating with Cuban-inspired small plates but does not have a full dinner menu.

    It’s a great hidden place with life Cuban music and the whole ambience that makes you feel like you’re in Havana. The only negative is that it’s waaaaay overpriced! They charged us $300 for a hamburger, a hotdog, a half dozen ousters with salad, plus a couple cocktails. It’s a real ripoff. Otherwise, a great place ;-)

    Incase of change or any adjust the reservation, that was hard and seem like no way to reach them. And on 4 April I booked the table with $50 deposit, incase of no show I need to pay that. But I went there as a booking. But they still charged my credit card as $50 likes I was no show!!! I’have sent them messages since 3 days ago about this matter via Instagram & Massenger but no one reply/ no respond from them.

    We came to celebrate my friends bday. Both her and I love Cuba so the code and ambience was wonderful. Loved how the owner got us up to teach us how to cha cha. It was different and interactive. The food is very expensive and in my opinion it was not worth the price. My ribeye was a third of fat chunks for $98. Our food order was messed up horrible but they comped the cover to make up for it. It is a very nice experience and I do recommend trying it. Just be prepared to spend some money.

    For date night this was an amazing experience. Live music Cuban style. The menu was great. The drinks were very tasty but very pricey minimum of $30 per drink no matter what you ordered. The cloak and dagger speakeasy feel was amazing.  it reminded me of the continental hotel from the movie John Wick highly recommend recommended.
