    Food and ambience were very good. Service was not that good. Our server rushed us to order, our food arrived before we finished our appetizer, and then it took forever to get our bill. But overall, it was very good.

    Great Cuban food. Don’t know if it’s the best in town, but absolutely surpassed our expectations. The atmosphere was great, the service was attentive and fun. We are at a number of places over that weekend and this was clearly the best.

    This was very disappointing. I booked dinner with a show in a Cuban restaurant. When we got there the hostess said there was no show! Even though they had advertisements on the table to say there was a show every Thursday to Sunday. Even worse there was no Cuban music whatsoever. Just loud pop music. If you want a Cuban experience do not choose here.

    Everything was outstanding. My wife and I ordered the sampler so we could try a little of everything and then we ordered one Cuban sandwich and split it. It was perfect and all the food was what you would hope for. The Cuban sandwich was one of the best I have ever had.

    We went to the dinner and show. There was no show!! Food and service was good but it was really chilly inside the restaurant. There was no communication about there not being a show, that was the reason we had booked - so disappointed.

    Was looking forward to an enjoyable evening dining while in town for the first time in this area. The food was not up to real cuban cuisine standards as far as we are concerned. Poor quality and the Ropa Vieja was to tough to eat. Drinks were mixed very weak as well
