    This is what food should taste like. Every bite is a flavor explosion. I have eaten at high end restaurants that would be put to shame by this enchanting establishment. It was perfection from beginning to end. From the friendly staff to the feel of sitting in a small cafe in Cuba, it was an experience to remember. Let's talk about the food. I had my third Cuban in three days and this one was easily the best and most authentic. The plantains with mojo criollo were incredible. My son's steak came with the most delicious dipping sauce that made parsley taste like far more than a garnish on the side of a plate. The side salads were so fresh and had the most wonderful pickled onions on top. My other son had salmon that was perfectly cooked and came with a side of quinoa like I've never tasted before. I had the absolute best mojito I have ever had, and to top off the meal I had a beautiful cafe con lèche that was perfection in a cup. This is most definitely a hidden gem. Seek it out if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. Your tastebuds will thank you.

    Definitely start with dessert first. The tres leches was divine. It was so moist and fresh. There was just enough moisture that the cake soaked it up without crumbling. The salmon and rice were nicely seasoned and a decent portion. Service was great. The restaurant is small but you don't feel crowded. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building and is walking distance from the beach.

    Our annual trip to Melbourne isn't complete without making a stop at Nini's. They have the absolute BEST mojitos! The menu is full of authentic and flavorful Cuban dishes. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the Nini's special chicken we had during our most recent visit is our favorite. The yucca fries are also a must!!

    Authentic Cuban food at this place. We were a party of 4 and started with plantain chips, yuca frita and tostone relleno with picadillo. Yum! Dinner was excellent. Jess and my niece had churrasco steak, my daughter had vaca frita and I had palomilla. We all loved them and were super full. Big portion size. Black beans were really good and the mojo sauce was incredible. For dessert we tried the tiramisu and the tres leches cake. Both were delicious. Cute decor and excellent service. A must stop for Cuban food!!

    A really cute little restaurant near the beach. The decore was on point and made for a very comfortable atmosphere. I got a chicken sandwich, and the bread was the perfect amount if crispy. Loved the flavor of tye sauve as well. I'ill definitely have to come back some time! The portion sizes make the prices worth it! I got 3 meals out if what I ordered. Also? The guava cheesecake was AMAZING!!

    Great little restaurant. Authentic Cuban food. Cuban sandwich was awesome! Generous portions! Fries did not seem homemade, only disappointment. Waitress was excellent. Highly recommend!

    We waited 45 minutes for food. tables that came after us got their food before us. fried yucca was light and crispy. but didn't come with a good sauce. The steak skewer was good, but tough to eat. Cool restaraunt, the workers seemed to know the diners.

    10/10 -- Highly Recommend Cuban Island!…read more We went to Cuban Island around 5 PM and were greeted warmly and seated right away. The restaurant is currently being renovated, and it's already looking really good! Our waitress, Barbara, was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. I started with a mojito, and WOW--it was honestly one of the best mojitos I've ever had! So refreshing and smooth that you barely taste the rum, but watch out... it can smack you in the back of the head! For dinner, I ordered the ropa vieja because I had been craving it so badly, and boy, did I find the right place to satisfy that craving! The meat was incredibly tender and juicy, with that rich, tomatoey sauce I had been looking for. It was absolutely delicious. My husband, of course, ordered the Cuban sandwich, and he absolutely loved it. The pork was so juicy and moist, and the bread was incredibly fresh and delicious. Then Barbara came by and told me about the $10 pomegranate martini special. Obviously, I had to try it--and that was delicious too! Overall, 10/10 experience. Great service, amazing drinks, and delicious, authentic-tasting food. We left very happy and will definitely be back. I super highly recommend Cuban Island!

Our first date happened to be here, which makes this one especially bittersweet. I can honestly say I never had a bad experience. The food was consistently good, the drinks were always on point, the service was welcoming, and the atmosphere made it easy to stay much longer than planned. It works just as well for an early morning coffee before a beach day as it does for lunch or drinks later in the day. I'm not sure I'll be able to return anytime in the foreseeable because of those (great) memories tied to this place, but that has nothing to do with Hemingway's. If anything, it says how much this place became part of an unforgettable chapter of my life. Five stars, easily. Some places you remember for the food. Some for the memories. Hemingway's gave me both.

It all tastes homemade in all the best ways. The roasted pork in the pressed Cuban was not neat little slices, it was juicy chunks of pernil made with talent and love. I'm already desperate to come back. Parking is limited. Service was surprisingly fast.

Because you don't have to reinvent the wheel. This is a very generous portion of food for the price you're gonna pay . I don't mean they go heavy on rice and light on pork. Quite the contrary you are getting your bang for your buck with this meal and if you're still hungry, you're in luck because they have an assortment of desserts that are gonna satisfy that sweet tooth almost as much as that main plate Satisfies most hungers. I grew up eating Spanish food in the south Florida so I'm particular about where I spend my money and I assure you that from my liking and taste buds this place gets it right every time . Don't be shy about simply asking for a double portion of pork if you're trying to avoid carbs and enjoy their coffee first thing in the morning as well I had a great time here I've come back multiple times and I intend to continue coming back. When you first walk in it's located on the right hand side. The staff is completely bilingual, which I think is also neat giving the area and they always offer the best customer service. It feels like you're being greeted from someone welcoming you home.
