We came as a family dinner celebrating Mother’s Day and Wife’s Birthday. First time here, our waitress was super, manager accommodated for outside seating. The server sought to everyone’s needs and was really pleasant. The food Oh My God . Did not know BYOB but we were accommodated which made for a great Sunday Dinner. The owner came by the table to make sure we had a pleasant evening. Highly recommend this place.

This was a phenomenal experience from start to finish!!! The two L’s Lee and Louis welcomed me with warm smiles when I arrived early to drop off balloons and champagne for my fiancé’s birthday dinner. They even let me pick out the table! When we arrived for dinner we were greeted with warmth and our server was just as friendly! Our group dined in and enjoyed some the best Cuban food ever!! They even accommodated my gluten allergy which is tough at a Cuban spot. The chilled our champagne for us and put it on ice. The icing on the cake was the singing with the instruments to their rendition of happy birthday to him. Thank you soo much!!! ❤️❤️

The food was amazing. My husband and I enjoyed the ambiance and the staff was very friendly. It was a nice warm day so we enjoyed the outdoor dining at the restaurant. The appetizer and the entrees we ordered were superb and the flan was sweet and scrumptious. We will definitely return. Highly recommend!

We booked 1958 last minute for a lunch on Sunday. It was not too crowded and noise level was fine (great music playing). I added a note that it was a for a birthday via OT - though I wasn't sure if they were going to read it. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and yes - they read the note (I didn't have to remind them)! Great single serving size (I hate having too much left over)! It was a lovely lunch and my family had a great time! Highly recommend!

This was our first time at 1958, and we found it to be an excellent all around experience. Choices at our table of 6 included shrimp,pork paella and beef entrees, all of which were enjoyed. We didn’t realize it was BYO but were fortunate that we had just visited Trader Joe’s so there was wine at hand. We will be back!

This was my second time going. I was really looking forward to it. The first time was great, this time was just not as good. It has been a couple of years between each visit though. Our waitress was so nice and very good. The food however was lacking. The bacon on my bacon wrapped maduros were burned. My bistec was too well done bordering on burned. I had to eat around the burned pieces, it also had no flavor. My husbands pork was dry and also had no flavor. My daughter said her shrimp dinner was good, thank God considering it was her birthday we were there. I hate to say it because I loved it so much the first time I went but this experience was just all around unsatisfying. Sadly I don't even think I want to try it again.
