    The authenticity of this Cuban Restaurant will have me coming back the next time I visit from DC. The management was very inviting and gave me a sense of family. I will be returning in the warmer months when they open the outside bar.

    Everything was great, I had the coconut mojito and it was delicious. I also had the lemon salsa chicken and the rest of the table had the hemingway skirt steak and mofongo. Everyone enjoyed their food and I can’t wait to go back again for more.

    As soon as we arrived for our reservation the hostess had told us she had been waiting for us and seated us immediately. Great service, waiter was really attentive and the vegan food bowl was AMAZING. Would definitely recommend!

    Waiter was very nice but the service was so slow. We only got dessert because of the prix fix and it took 30 min. Food was fine nothing was great but not bad either. Drinks were good

    Place was cute and cozy, good to go on a date or a small group. We went for Restaurant week and food was great and service was good even if the place was busy. Only thing is that they had ran out of certain items from the menu but the server accommodated us the best he can. I would definitely return.

    We came to this restaurant because of some of the reviews I read, but the service was unbelievably slow (took at least 20 minutes to get our first and only drinks) and 50 mins to receive an appetizer. Then the dinner finally came which made us late to our event. The food was okay and is why I'm not sure I would recommend this place. But I will say the outside dining setting was nice.

    Got the ropa vieja and lemon chicken and both were delicious. The vanilla flan was also very good for dessert. Would definitely go back.
