About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Kid-friendly
  • Innovative
Danzón Cubano is a tribute to the Cuban people, their history, their culture, and their perseverance in the face of trials. Our restaurant was inspired by Carlos Hidalgo, a gentleman born in Havana, Cuba. His father, Julio Hidalgo, a businessman and well-known big game fisherman, was a close friend of Ernest Hemingway—they fished together in Cuba, Key West and the Bahamas. Carlos came to the United States when he was 15 years-old as part of Operation Peter Pan—”Operación Pedro Pan”—an under the radar program that from 1960 to 1962 brought more than 14,000 unaccompanied Cuban children to the USA as exiles from the Communist regime of Fidel Castro.

    We had a lovely meal. Ordered a special, the butchers plate, and the fish of the day. Both spectacular. The tostones flight was a great sampling of flavors. Dessert was amazing (goat cheese cheesecake with housemade vanilla ice cream and the best chocolate sauce!) We will come back!

    We waited at the front for about 5 minutes or so when we walked in before anyone acknowledged us. We waited another 5-10 minutes before our server came to the table, other than that the food was delicious and their drinks were good also. We will go back because of the food. They just need to work on greeting and seating people in a more timely manner. It also just could have been a fluke, they looked short handed that night.

    This was some of the best Cuban food I’ve had! So fresh and innovative-beyond expectations. If I lived locally this would be a weekly favorite. Do yourself a favor and try it!!!

    Flavorful and delicious, from appetizer to entrees to dessert. Tried the melanga fries; wow! The shredded Parmesan was a nice touch. Also enjoyed the hearty soup and pineapple dessert with caramel sauce; the perfect balance of sweetness!

    No one took our order for 20 minutes. That had one person working on a Memorial Day Sunday
