    From the moment we walked in, we were blown away. This restaurant from Chef Blais was absolutely beautiful—every detail in the décor created the perfect ambiance for a memorable evening. The food? Incredible. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly elevated our experience, though, was the fantastic customer service. Our server, Abraham, was amazing—attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming. He made sure everything was just right throughout the night. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, stunning aesthetics, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!

    Havana Night at the Del Mar Fairmont – An Unforgettable Experience! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Havana Night at the Del Mar Fairmont, what an incredible evening! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was electric, filled with vibrant energy, stunning decor, and the perfect blend of music, culture, and elegance. What truly elevated the night, though, was the exceptional service, especially from Sean, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless. He was extremely attentive, making sure we were always comfortable and never without a drink in hand. His friendly, kind, and professional demeanor stood out in the best way. It’s rare to encounter someone so genuinely thoughtful and committed to creating a memorable guest experience. If you're looking for an immersive night of fun, flavor, and festivity Havana Night is a must. And if you're lucky enough to be taken care of by Sean, you’re in for an unforgettable treat. We’ll absolutely be back!
