Havana reopening when? Now Open!
Did a search, but didn't find anything new, maybe I missed it. In today's help-wanted ads is one for food service - says a "new concept" restaurant and to apply at Lopez Legacy. I had heard somewhere that the new management for Havana is the current management at Lopez.
Another friend had told me it would be months before reopening, but since they are advertising now for employees, doubt that is true. Anyone? |

I was talking with a young lady who has been hired there. She told me it was April 15.
It will be called Hemmingway's at Havana. Owned by the same person as Lopez - it will be excellent. |
Wasn't this the original concept of the restaurant when it first opened (and failed, due to the bad food and service) - or am I mis-remembering (which happens to me more often the older I get).

I am guessing since one of the nines of the golf course is called Hemingway that the "theme" was Cuban and of the era of his living there. AND the other nines are Kenya and Kilamanjaro. I know nothing about Cuban food, but I do know that a good cook can cook anything and a good manager can manage anything. I don't remember clearly either exactly what happened but there was a great chef on board there five years ago, at the beginning, and for about three weeks and then Poof he was gone and the rest is history. |
The chef's name was Poof? Sounds like a magical dragon. :ho:
Hey, my golf got cancelled today and it isn't nice enough to get to the driving range. Anyhow, I really hope the new restaurant is a big success so there can be something of Lopez quality at the Southern end. |
A friend just got a job there and is starting her training Saturday. Today she said April 9th. they will open.

According to a spokesperson for Legacy Restaurant (where we had dinner last night) he said the restaurant will have Cuban and South Florida recipes. He mentioned the chef that runs Legacy will be running Hemmingways. He said they want the dining room atmosphere, somewhat like Legacy. They are changing kitchen right now to update for easier operation in Cuban recipes etc. It could be finished within 2 weeks, but not setting a certain date, in case they will not be prepared. If you like Legacy (he said) you will like "Hemmingways" (new name). He was very generous in his information, without having to be quoted, per say. I thought he mentioned about an outside bar ( but not too sure) I was on my second wine then! hehe Anyway, it sounds good, and can't wait for the opening. A few recipes at Legacy, will be available at Hemmingways. I hope we all give them the time to get situated, and get the wrinkles out, before there are criticism's. !!!!!! Let's wish them well
