   This place has two seatings per night, so we were "thrown out" after the entrees were served. If you think you will have dinner there and spend the night dancing forget it!

   I wish I had read reviews first. Automatic 22% , EXTREMELY OVERPRICED DRINKS, Automatic Charge For Reservation with NO CREDIT TO BILL. That's right when your bill is $200 plus for 2 people with NO FOOD because it will be . You will get charged the extra you made the reservation here on Open Table. You would think it's just to guarantee you will show up because the room only holds 50 people or credit for the bill. But NO! I don't mind spending money on a great experience as my history shows, but this was not a good experience at all. The only good thing about this place was the band. Great volume level , a great music selection.

   Hello Tony, We're truly sorry to hear about your recent experience at Emilia's Havana. We understand your frustration with the charges and the miscommunication regarding the bill. The amount you deposited is the entertainment fee for the Latin band that performs. I apologize if this wasn't explained to you in more detail. I would be happy to invite you back in the future and waive the entertainment fee as a courtesy. Best, Shaun Stockton General Manager

   Fun speakeasy in back of restaurant, that was the best part. Food and service was very good (menu from Annie or Turners). Too loud. While the Cuban band is good, it’s way too loud for the small space and a nice dinner; don’t expect to have any dinner conversation while band is playing, my ears are still ringing next morning.

   This speakeasy is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance feels like stepping into another era. The music was exceptional—a perfect blend of live tunes and curated playlists that set the mood beautifully. It’s the kind of place where every beat feels intentional, adding to the charm of the experience. The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what they were doing. They made thoughtful recommendations and ensured everything felt seamless throughout the evening. The attention to detail—from the decor to the cocktail presentation—made the night unforgettable. If you’re looking for a hidden treasure with incredible vibes, outstanding service, and music that transports you, this place is a must-visit.

   For my first time ever coming to this place, it was amazing. Shout out to Vicky,Maggie, Fabion and Mary for making us feel at home and encouraging us to dance the night away. The live band knew how to set the mood. Food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were even better. Overall a nice little getaway.

   Great food, drinks and overall ambiance when you’re looking to do something different than just dinner. Whether you’re coming as a couple, in a small group of friends, the unique vibes Emilia’s has will have you walking away with a great time had.
