    Dinner with our children who live in the area. Dishes were traditional Cuban and each was well-prepared, perhaps with a bit less seasoning than we get at home or in Miami. Drinks were good, fresh, and well-balanced. If you are in the neighborhood and enjoy straightforward Cuban food, this is a solid dinner option.

    This was my least favorite visit. The waitress wasn't amazing. The food was really good, but it's usually amazing. I would say it was a lot busier than I'm used to, so I'm sure that is the reason. I've worked in the food and hospitality field for many years and understand that part now what I don't understand is during a busy night the waitress being on her phone chatting it up with a co-worker while I'm there trying to get some more drinksand service. That was really disappointing. I also saw other tables of hers waiting at that moment as well, but I guess when gratuity is automatically included, you don't have to wow the customer. All other visits. I've had great servers this time, and I was not pleased.
