    We went on valentines weekend so it was very busy. I heard you want to make reservations even if you only have 2 people. I’m so glad I took that advice, we arrived and were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. The food and service were amazing! We will be back.

    An amazing ambiance celebrating the Cuban culture! Started off with bread wrapped in newspaper depicting a print from the 1950’s. Guava butter and cilantro lime butter were offered. Both were delicious! Tried the shrimp ceviche that has a tomato base with thinly sliced red onion, and cilantro. It was very refreshing just as the waitress described. My husband ordered the Ropa Vieja en Lata and didn’t know it means “beef in a can”. It was served table side by a waiter that described the canning process and the titles meaning. He proceeded to open and serve the perfectly cooked beef along with white rice and fried plantains. I had the salmon Varadero served with yellow rice and fried plantains. I could not resist adding a side of black beans. Everything exceeded our expectations! The service was impeccable and we will be back!

    Excelente lugar en todo los aspectos. El ruido debería bajar un poco para que no se sienta tan fuerte fuera del bar

    Always great food but I noticed the portions are smaller. Great atmosphere. Service was very good as well. The bottles of wine are very overpriced. Bottle of Malbec is $32 , but retails for around $14. So don’t think you are getting a great wine for the price
