The food here has great flavor. We went in for lunch and was satisfied with the good portions, and flavorful combos. The service was good too. Would come back again for sure

This place was recommended but the front desk of a local hotel. So glad I took a chance versus another Lake Norman place I had considered. This is the place if you are looking for a laid back restaurant with great view of the lake and good Cuban food. I gave 4 stars because the service was so slow. My waitress was nice but twice I had to ask another staff member when I had to yet to receive my drink and then again for my check.

Four women gathered for a brunch on Sunday morning. Our waitress was exceptional, the drinks were refreshing, and the food was simply outstanding! Drinks we enjoyed: Bloody Mary Mimosa Food we ordered: Appetizers: Empanada Trio and the Sampler Entrees: Havana 33 Special (sandwich), Tres Leches Pancakes, French Toast Ambiance: The restaurant exudes an island-inspired vibe.

A fantastic little on the water place to have a few drinks and some great food! I am not terribly familiar with Cuban food and to be honest I really didn't enjoy it but that is not their fault. Just not my taste. My wife and our companions absolutely raved about the food! I very much enjoyed having a few drinks with friends in such a beautiful setting. The restaurant is very pretty and the view is amazing! The staff were very patient with my dozens of food questions. Very much appreciated the time and effort!

Stopped by Havana in Mooresville on a Saturday at 11:30 AM, right as they opened, and we were seated immediately--always a great start. The space is clean, elegant, and has an island-inspired feel. The menu is small but well-thought-out, focusing on Cuban-inspired dishes. We tried the French toast with scrambled eggs, the pastry platter, and the frittata. The pastry platter was decent, offering four different options, but nothing that really stood out. (A Cuban-inspired cast iron cornbread with guava jelly? Now that would've been a game-changer!) That said, the main dishes were solid, with great portions--plenty to take home. Service was great--attentive and knowledgeable. The restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere, with a mix of families, couples, and solo diners. There was a nice blend of ages and backgrounds, which made the space feel lively and inviting. I definitely wasn't to visit again for dinner.

Delicious! It's a hidden gem in the lake. The food is outstanding, along with the drinks. The atmosphere is great too.

Wow, amazing food and views! We were greeted and seated immediately upon walking in. Sat outside to soak in the views of the water which didn't disappoint. All the food we ordered here was delicious, each plate had so much depth of flavor you can definitely taste the love and time they take to cook everything Check them out if you're in the area, you will not be disappointed!

Just to step in the door, the decor is so Cuban! Beautifully decorated to showcase the Cuban culture and you immediately smell deliciousness! It was a beautiful day, we opted to be seated outside. We were led through the restaurant out the back, past the bar. The view is so relaxing, overlooking Lake Norman. Ceci greeted us with warmth and answered any questions about the menu. I really had a hard time deciding what to order because so many items' descriptions had my mouth watering. I chose to start with the calamari. FANTASTIC!! It was flash fried just like I cook it. The batter was light and seasoned perfectly. The way Ceci described the red snapper entree, there was no way I was choosing anything else! It was just as she described & tasted amazing!! Hubby chose the grilled chicken sandwich (like he likes it) & he said it was very flavorful. Our son chose the vaca frita with tostones. I tasted that and it was on point! I will gladly ride the hour there to enjoy such a fantastic meal, great ambiance, & humble service.

My co-worker recommend this restaurant in Mooresville so I gave it a try. Very Cuban-lie once you walk in because of the vibe, they were playing cuban music and decor is pretty tropical. Near the waterfront, even though you are looking at a reservoir, it is a nice setting. People are right, portion is kinda small or expensive, but I guess it is consider upscale since it is at Mooresville. Everything was good, service was good. No complain whatsoever.

My favorite thing about this restaurant is the vibe. It's authentic--there is Cuban music playing and the decor fits. The whole vibe is just Cuba. It wasn't nice out so we had to sit inside, but there is patio seating on the lake for when it's nice out. The Chicken and Rice was tasty. I did, however, learn that I don't like sweet plantains. This isn't the fault of Havana 33 or any Cubans anywhere. Also, I don't like beans so the sides just didn't do it for me and the primary reason for the 4. The service was good and the pricing seems relatively fair for an inflationary era. I'd say check it out. Also a bar here that looks like it might be a cool vibe on the weekend.
