Havana Beach Bar & Grill

One word: Ward. Absolutely an incredible server and made our experience for me and my friends for our bachelorette trips experience exceptional. The food was great and he was very energetic and passionate with his recommendations. Will definitely be back and ask for ward again!

Came here a couple times. Once for lunch and then a dinner on a different evening. In both cases the experience was very good. The menu has great choices. The prices for lunch were reasonable, and the dinner prices were on the pricey side. There were only a few tables being served for lunch, but then dinner time, the place was much busier. Service was overall good, but we waited a considerable amount of time at dinner for our drinks. Started with the Hot Grouper Bites. Those were simply amazing! All of the dishes were ordered were all done extremely well. Excellent preparation, well seasoned, the right temps, and good portions. Dinner came we a couple baskets of bread, fresh and warm, with a specialty butter. The servers were attentive, personal, patient and helpful. We would come back in the future.

I had the pleasure of attending a wedding at this venue, and it exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional, the drinks were of high quality, and the service during the ceremony was impeccable. The venue itself offers beautiful views, making it an ideal location for private events. I highly recommend it for any special occasion or for those seeking a refined experience.

This is my first time eating at Havana Night. I visited with my wife, and we both enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and food. The music was at the right volume, and my wife and I could have conversations without yelling. The server ANDRA was friendly and attentive. The food was delightful and came out at a reasonable time. I had a couple of Mojitos, and it was on point, and I finished them with a nice espresso. I will highly recommend this local place in Panama City, FL. I will be back tomorrow and the next time I visit Panama City, FL.

Havana Beach Bar and Grill has a killer location—right on the corner of the western green and steps from the Gulf at the Pearl Hotel. You really can’t beat the view and vibe; it’s absolutely stunning. Service started off strong. Our group of six had a great spot, and the acoustics worked really well for our group size, making conversation easy even with a larger table. The drinks were decent overall. My rye Manhattan was just okay—not bad, but nothing I’d rave about. I switched to straight rye bourbon after that because, well, it’s hard to mess up pouring straight whiskey. As for the food, my $60 ribeye was a big disappointment—it was so fatty that I would’ve thrown it out if I had cooked it at home. Definitely not worth the price. However, my friends really enjoyed their meals, which included oysters, pasta, grouper, salads, and crab cakes. So, it seems like it can be hit or miss depending on what you order. One thing that left a sour note was when we ordered additional drinks from a different waiter later in the evening. They didn’t remind us that the 20% gratuity was already included for our group size. It felt a little shady, like they were hoping we wouldn’t notice and leave extra. Not cool. **Ratings:** - **Service:** 3.5/5 – Solid at first, but the tip situation left a bad taste. - **Food:** 3/5 – My ribeye was a letdown, but my friends really enjoyed their dishes. - **Location:** 5/5 – The spot is absolutely gorgeous. Overall, Havana Beach has an amazing atmosphere, but for the price, they need to step up their food and drinks. ************************************************* My wife and I recently returned for dinner (just the two of us) and had an even better experience. We sat by the window overlooking the western green and the Gulf of Mexico—absolutely stunning. The service was again top-notch; they accommodated my celiac disease perfectly and helped my wife choose two meal-appropriate wines. Despite my earlier concerns, I stuck to my usual order and was pleasantly surprised. My wife tried the ribs on the waiter’s recommendation and really enjoyed them. All in all, the food, service, and atmosphere made for a memorable evening, and I’m even thinking of stopping by for breakfast soon.

Had a large group for dinner with reservations. The food was amazing. The atmosphere and location were beautiful. The service wasn’t as expected. We just wanted to enjoy our drinks and order food and appetizers as we went, but we were told we had to order entrées all at the same time with a large group not everyone was ready. Service was a little slow, but all around good. Our server was very accommodating, letting us split the check between all of the parties, which was very helpful when some people in your party drink, and others do not.

Love this place. The food was incredible and wait staff, manager and host were amazing. It was a little breezy so they brought my daughter a little blanket while we dinned outside. They check in on guests and are so accommodating.

We stopped here during a mini get away. The entire experience was great. It is a cute rooftop dining that sits you outside with two different type of seating levels with sunshades. The server Sally was great and attentive even with her being by herself with another bartender. We shared appetizers and the food was phenomenal we literally left nothing on the plates. The drinks were refreshing and delicious. Overall very happy with the experience.
