"The inside is very smoky, even in the indoor nonsmoking section. Booths are antiquated and rickety. No children’s menu. No “handheld” menu with sandwiches. The menu presented at the restaurant was not the same menu as online. Despite the lack of options for kids, we decided that a plain cheese pizza would be a suitable choice. Nope. Sauce was super spicy, even for me, and I like spiciness! But kids don’t. One child tried to order the pizza with cheese and ham (since ham was one of the Chef’s choices, and we were told they couldn’t make that kind of accommodation, so she opted for cheese only). Ordered lemonade for the kids….$4.00 each and were super sour. Again, not kid friendly. Add on the stale cigarette smoke aura and it was a disappointment. I’ve been a Richmonder for over 25 years, remember coming to Havana 59 in my early 20s before kids, and was excited to come back to see how it has grown and flourished. Just wish it was more kid-friendly! If the kids aren’t happy, mama ain’t happy."
