    This was a return trip to Havana for us after a long absence. The service was friendly and efficient. We really enjoyed our main courses. I had a Cubano Sandos and my brother had two CARNITAS tacos. We won’t wait so long before we go back!

    Although we didn't book a patio table, we managed to get one as one cleared on our arrival. I liked that the service was attentive without being too much. Very friendly and patient as we were waiting for a friend to join us before ordering. The food was yummy. We shared the Nachos Cubanos, Pulled Pork Enchiladas, and Pescado tacos (added an extra). The bill was split 3 way perfectly. The patio did get loud at it's peak dinner time and slightly chilly with less people blocking the wind. Would return with friends and family, especially at Happy Hour next time.

    We had a lovely anniversary dinner last night at this restaurant. The server, Justin, was excellent and timed the meal perfectly without rushing us to make it to the theatre. We loved the chorizo croquettes (as good as any we have had in Belgium)and the seared tuna was tasty. Complimentary glass of bubbly was really special.

    I love the patio at Havana on a sunny day -- great food & service -- fantastic margaritas -- and nice people watching spot too. Great place to catch up with friends.

    Food was very good. Service was non existent, quite bad. Could’ve easily walked out without paying $130 as no one was paying any attention.
