The ambiance was lovely! Walking in we were greeted with Cuban music and gracious hostesses. We were seated and immediately trended to by our server. Our cocktails were delicious. We had the La Havana Mojito & the Old Havana Fashion. For dinner, the Arroz Imperial & the Vaca Frita were our favorites. Overall awesome experience we’ll certainly dine with them again.

Noise level was so loud that we couldn't hear each other at the table! That will stop us from coming back; but the food was absolutely delicious! Lowering the music would help.

The setting was great We did not get our appetizer at all and dinner took over an hour to get to us while patrons all around us were being served. The food was good but our service was not. Not a good first time experience.

My wife's steak looked really good. I got the lechon asado (pork), and it was a big, messy pile of fatty pork, which (when you separated it from the fat) wasn't very flavorful. The rice, beans, and yucca were all excellent—and had the service was good. We would have ordered coffee & dessert (but we were afraid of being late to our next appointment). And to nitpick a little...our table was quite wobbly. I suppose the table cleaners don't mind that though.

We went to dinner for my daughter‘s birthday. Dinner was really good and so is the service. Everyone enjoyed their food. Large portions great flavor. I noted in my reservation that it was my daughter’s birthday, and they came out to the table, played a drum and saying happy birthday. it was so much fun and the chocolate dessert they gave her was delicious. Will definitely recommend eating here and we will be back for sure. Also parking next-door was very convenient Getting a free pass was very much appreciated.

They had a 3 piece band playing classic Cuban tunes much to our surprise. They were EXCELLENT! Fair warning, seated in the "outdoor" area right in front of the band makes dinner conversation difficult...we still had a great time!

We had a group of 7 work colleagues have dinner together during a conference. We shared two pitchers of Forbidden Mojitos, a couple of appetizers, a couple of desserts, and each had an entree. Everything was outstanding. All seven of us were in agreement. I ate the Pichana Steak, which was extremely tender with a sear, topped with crispy yucca and a side of rice and plantains. A great overall experience. With taxes and tip, the bill was $465. We all left full.

Excellent food! We left so full from sharing an appetizer, an entree & sharing dessert. We got the ceviche which was more soupy than I expected, but delicious. I just wish it was served with more tostones. I had the churrasco steak which was excellent. My friend had the salmon which was a completely different flavor profile, but also excellent. We couldn’t pick a fave! And we were talked into dessert by our server, but don’t regret that amazing affogato for one minute. Service was a little slow, but our waitress seemed weeded. Fun vibe for an excellent restaurant!!
