    Our server was great - he made sure the place was set up well for our kids. We were delighted by the very strong Cuban coffee, great menu options for the kids, and lovely scenic view of the river. The decor was calming and fun to look at after a day at the aquarium. We will be back.

    My wife and I both had the Cubano sandwich. She had the black beans and I had the polenta as an added side. We both agreed that the sandwich was bland. It needed to have more of a spicy mustard and the pork needed to be kicked up And the pickles need to be more substantial and better flavored. The black beans were nothing to speak of they were bland. The polenta was mushy, and the portion sizes are very small. The ambience of the restaurant is very nice and subdued lighting. The music was enjoyable. It was easy to have a conversation with the noise level in the restaurant.

    Overall this was a very great experience. We have been here a few times and this is one of our favorite newer restaurants. The only downside to last night is they had some items unavailable due to lack of supply from their distributor. Edit: thanks for your reply, it was the plantains and one of the breads (sorry I don’t recall) that was unavailable. We still love your place!
