Lyn Dowling for Florida Today said: The latter includes the uniform coat of Alfredo Hernandez, the heroic pilot who flew a Cuban airliner to freedom years ago. He owns El Ambia, and you have to smile when you enter because the place is just so . . . Cuban. El Ambia really does not have what your white-tablecloths-and-tuxedos-style restaurants — wonderful in their own right — would serve in their dining rooms. It’s what your fled-from-Fidel neighbors would serve at their dinner tables. The menu is exactly what you’d expect: lots of pork, including sandwiches, plus seafood, chicken and beef, fresh seafood and dessert.
