Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar - OrlandoGreat food and atmospereGreat dining atmospere and wonderful service. I had the 15 tastes of Cuba meal where you get to taste a variety of appetizers, entrees, and two different desserts. It was delicious and gave me a chance to try items I might not have tried on my own as a full meal. They have a great happy hour with half off of pitchers of Sangria. Valet parking is also free when dining at the restaurant.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable mealWe enjoyed our meal at Cuba Libre. We arrived on time and were promptly seated on the outside terrace. The server was very knowledgeable about drinks and food. Drinks came promptly and were delicious. I choose the sampler and had more than enough food. My friend had a steak and says it was one of the best he ever ate. I enjoyed the small tastes of many of their signature dishes. Service was excellent - we never felt rushed, and it was a Friday night.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding again!I had come to Cuba Libra with my girlfriend about a year ago and we both had a great time. This time I took my son for his HS graduation and it was just as good an experience. Our waiter was rum lover like myself and paired my taste of cuba with 2 different rums and finished off with a nice wine. My son also got the taste of cuba and the waiter paired all of his courses with a different virgin mohito for each course.
Outstanding again.
And though its not currently on the menu, ask for the black cherry mohito. So good....5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day DinnerI made reservations at this restaurant for my Mother's Day Dinner the Saturday evening prior to Mother's Day. Arrived to an almost empty house at 6:00 on a Saturday evening, but that quickly changed. The service was attentive but not overly so. Food was prepared perfectly from the warm pressed bread that was served immediately at the table to the entrees. Will definitely be back.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways Consistent!If you're looking for great food, friendly staff who goes above and beyond then Cuba Libre is the place to go.

Power Manager in a waiter were awesome they were very sympathetic and made us feel cared for . manager did take care of us and we will visit next time we come back to Orlando5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous Food, Gem of a RestaurantFood is fabulous, couldn't decide if the Philadelphia location or the Orlando location has better food. In the end, both are fabulous and there is no reason to decide. Loved watching the dancers on the dance floor from up above. The food is well prepared, had great flavors, right amounts of spice and heat. When my Black Bean soup did not come out with the three other appetizers, everyone jumped into action to see why it was missed, It hit the table less than a minute later with more apologies than necessary.
Manager came by and checked in with diners multiple times, received a follow up call the next day to make sure every thing was up to par. Wish there was a location in my city, as we would be there often.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMThe pork entree was ridiculouslyThe pork entree was ridiculously good. Service was excellent. All the other dishes ranged from good to very good. The place has an interesting vibe.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMParty of 6, to celebrate myParty of 6, to celebrate my mother's 60th bday. The look of the place was great, a reminder of 60's Cuba. The food was good but not great, especially for the price. The drinks were good. Loved the fact they were an official rum bar.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurant! Went forGreat restaurant! Went for my birthday. Always enjoy my time and the food here. It is National Empanada Month so they are serving them until the end of the month. Delicious!! I have been contemplating going back just to pig out on them.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMExceptional, in every way!We tried a sampling of several of their dishes. Everything was delicious! Not only was our server knowledgeable about the different meals and how each one was made, but he went above and beyond to make sure each dish we ordered fit within our eating requirements (gluten and dairy free). He made suggestions on the menu and made several trips to the kitchen and back to double check on food allergies. Will definitely eat there again!4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was great but theEverything was great but the deserts. All were just fair3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMCuba Libre is fabulous. YouCuba Libre is fabulous. You are immediately transported back to Havana! It is great for indoor or outdoor dining. Their bar area is beautiful, comfortable and fully stocked with many great variations of the traditional Mojito's. The menu has many traditional Cuban favorites done beautifully with light bites to full entrees. The staff is caring, welcoming, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable. It is a great place to celebrate a special occasion as they make it even more special for you. When we are in Orlando, we never miss a chance to go to Cuba Libre. So, whether a local or tourist don't miss Cuba Libre. It is the place to be.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had other expectationsWe had other expectations when arriving to restaurant and were far exceeded!

Waitress explained kitchen is indoors and upstairs (we were sitting outside). Not sure how every item came out tepid to warm from that distance, especially as it was 70 and sunny outside.3/8/2013 12:00:00 AM15 Tastes of Cuba was an awesome15 Tastes of Cuba was an awesome adventure! It takes you through their menu, one bite at a time. It's amazing how much food there is for just one person. Mariquitas Cubanas with trio of dips (smoked marlin salad) was da bomb! Churrasco a la Cubana (skirt steak) was juicy and flavorful. Paella de Mariscos was very good as well - lots of seafood and super-flavorful rice. You have to try some of their mojitos as well - Blueberry, Passion Fruit, and Mango flavors were awesome!12/29/2012 12:00:00 AMDelightful !The food was creative, delicious and the presentation was superb! Service was perfect! Will definitely be back. Worth checking this place out!1/1/0001 4:00:00 PM
