    Havana is not how it used to be years ago. The service was terrible. We waiting over 30 minutes seated for a drink. We had to keep asking for our waitress. The place itself looked dirty and in shambles. The tables were a mess, the place looked unkept and the staff was so unprofessional. I use to love coming to Havana with my family. This was very sad to see what it has become. I won’t go back.

    Everything was great, except the temperature of the food was colder than it should’ve been. The food came out very quickly so I don’t think it was a matter of it sitting for too long in the kitchen. Nothing arrived at the table hot, but nothing was cold either. It was all on the colder side or warm to room temperature at best. The live music was great but extremely loud. I enjoyed it after accepting the fact that my party and I wouldn’t be able to chat during our meal. We had a good time with the music so it was fine for us. I only mention it because I’m sure some people would find it to be too much and in that case consider going on a night with no live music. Overall we enjoyed the restaurant and recommended giving it a try

    It’s been awhile since we’ve dined here, but we are returning guests. We’ve never had a poor meal or bad service. The NA options for both the mojito and the limeade are stellar, the skirt steak and ropa vieja were both delicious, and reminded me of an old cuban friends’ cooking. The pernil asado appetizer is addictive. You can eat 10 or 15 plates of them. Good luck. The band on Sundays is lively and brilliant. You’ll hear songs from the Buena Vista Social club there up close. We’ll be back. You should go.

    The food was delicious and prices weren’t crazy even though you’re in the New York City theater district! What really stood out was the service. Our server was outstanding!

    Food was cold and had to return it; better 2nd time but just warm, not hot as you expect your meal to be. Vieja ropa was bland.
