Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Hemingway's Cuba offers a memorable experience with stunning views and "great Cuban sandwich" and "mojito was to die for." While the ambiance and service are praised, some find the "food is bland" and service inconsistent. It's a "must" for drinks and views, but expectations for food should be managed.

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.

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.

The ambiance and service are both very good. However, the food is bland. I would expect great flavors for a Cuban style restaurant.

Unfortunately this is some of the worst food i have had. Even the boiled white rice was uneditable. The server and manager were nice. No one working there seemed surprised at our feedback. Shame because there is so much good food in Ashville. This is not one of them.

The guy who waited on us was nice but the restaurant was understaffed, drinks came after food and only after we inquired for a third time. Food was OK but part of our order never came. So we left and had desert at another place. Disappointing. Wanted it to be good.
