Cuban
Habana was established in 1995. We serve Nuevo Latino cuisine which includes some Cuban and Spanish classics. We are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. We have both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a fun and romantic atmosphere with candle light throughout the entire restaurant. We have a lot of special event celebrations so there is always something new and exciting for our guests to experience.

    Food and service was great. The vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant made it feel like I was in Cuba. The only downside was the loud noise level.

    Stopped for lunch because we are from South Florida where we have a lot of Cuban food so thought we would check this out. Great old Havana vibe, really friendly service. Interesting food. Some traditional Cubano and some new twists. New twists on Nostalgic craft cocktails. We were impressed. We would stop in again

    This was a great dining experience. The patio heaters were plentiful enough to keep all diners warm when the temperature was in the low-mid 50's, our server was attentive and helpful (thank you, Tristan), and the food was outstanding. I'm not a salad person, but I would say the Chopped Salad was one of the best salads of any kind that I've ever eaten, anywhere. Habana isn't a good option for vegans, but vegetarians can get creative and make things work. I will be dining here again and I recommend this restaurant.

    We were seated outside, so the noise level is a bit loud out there. Also, I understand that the furniture for outdoors is going to be different that indoor seating, but those wooden chairs are really uncomfortable. That said, the food and the service are always spectacular at Habana.

    Unfortunately the Sunday buffet brunch I experienced before Covid with lots of great items to choose from and live music is no longer available. "They just never brought it back" said the manager. At least the food is still delicious. Expensive, but delicious. I just don't think we will return though. I don't mind spending money on good eats but it's too competitive out there to come back especially since service was not on point. My eggs were not soft scrambled. It was often difficult to get our waitress' attention. I was handed a hot plate without warning. Manager attempted to buy a round of drinks or a dessert for the birthday girl... NO. If you get my order wrong and I don't really eat it, It should simply be removed. The effort was lacklustre. Disappointing.

    The food and drinks were great (I recommend the old-fashioned), and the service was excellent. I do feel that it is a bit pricey for what it is, and the noise is a bit challenging to talk through. But it's a nice date space, if you're able to drop the money.

    I love this restaurant!! Every time I come to the area, I try to find my way here — and always with new people! The food and service are amazing! This time, it was tough to get comfortable, the tab was squeezed into the corner and the heavy plastic cover was rubbing my head the whole time… nowhere to move — it’s probably the only spot in the whole joint that’s not awesome — but if you get stuck in “that” corner, you’ll know! All together … really love habana and will always come back — just hope not to get the corner table 😂

    Host was very rude on 2.17 on Friday night as she spoke to someone she knew and not doing her job and told me at 9pm it would be an hour wait for 2 people and funny thing is I got on opentable and got a table in 4 min. Our waitress was amazing and brought us complimentary rose and was very timely and sweet. The food was hot and fall cordial and came out quickly. My only complaint was being the first person you encounter is the host I personally think she shouldn’t be working the front if this is the first impression you give of the staff which she was not a reflection of this place at all.

    Omg, I finally found a Cuban place in Orange County - and I can say with all honesty - this is THE BEST even compared to other cuisines. Amazing place, starting with the lady that gets you to the table, to every server, plate, ambiance and dessert. The food - WHAT A TASTE! You can most definitely taste the flavors of the cuban cuisine. I got the Churrasco plate, my fiancée got the crusted chicken, and bananas flambe for dessert. All of them, great choices! I am excited to try the other things in their menu next time!

    So much fun! Loved the vibe (music was spot-on), and the service was amazing. We did wait a while for our food so by the time it came we were not as hungry however I applaud the management for realizing this without us even saying anything and apologizing. Best Valentine’s Day ever! We will definitely be back:)

    Parking was horrible! There were no open spots in whole parking lot and had to park off site and risk being towed. Restaurant is great but noise level was chaotic between music and people shouting to be heard. I’d go again for sure but be careful to go during slow times where parking and noise wouldn’t be as much an issue.
