The Vibe
Alma Cubana plants a modern Cuban kitchen on Ocean Drive and gives it beach views — the ropa vieja and lechón are properly done, the ceviche is a fresh detour, and the ocean backdrop makes everything taste a little better. More polished than the surrounding tourist spots without losing the warmth.
