    Service missed the mark with items missing from our order including them skipping appetizers entierly. They did take that off the bill without hassel when I broguht it up. However, the thing that prompted me to write this review was the lack of lime when I orderd a Cuba libre. That was frustrating given that it is a Cuban restaurant. The food was tasty but overshadowed by the lackluster service and the botched drink order.
