    Went for a Christmas Pre-fixe and the food was exceptional. Seafood was fresh, and quality of food was great.

    Waiter and greeters very nice . Service for how busy it was , was good. Food for the price was not even fair . Poor at best. Christmas dinner I got Kobe burger. Fries were cold a giant tomato about 1/2 inch thick , it was not good. My GF had a hot sandwich said it had mustard on it , u couldn’t even taste the mustard. My son had the plantain crusted chicken, just tasted like breaded chicken. Very ordinary at best. The chorizo Mac and cheese was not even cheesy. It wasn’t hot. Extremely disappointing Christmas dinner. The highlight was the key lime pie. Best thing we had. I won’t go back .

    Xmas Eve dinner was wonderful at Habana. We were greeted at the door with complimentary sparkling rose wine while we were checked in for our reservation. Our reservation was for comfortable outdoor seating with a festive ambiance for the season. The server was attentive and courteous offering recommendations and adjustments for some of our dietary restrictions. The seasonal cocktails were delicious and our food was too. Overall a great experience and we are planning to go back soon!

    Excelente comida latina. La música acorde al lugar el sonido perfecto. El mojito fue el único que no me convenció del todo. Pero las salsas muy buenas. Flan muy bueno

    First time at this restaurant. It had great service provided by Gavin. Ambiance is lovely. We enjoyed trying something new. It is on the pricier side and menu is limited. A nice holiday choice for Cuban food.

    Greeted by a very cordial hostess then seated in a lovely outdoor area. Our waiter was patient with all of us as first time guests and he explained the menu in great detail. Pod was outstanding.
