                                  Initially, they were unable to locate my reservation in the computer for when I showed them my email confirmation they found my reservations. I waited a few minutes for a table. The food was amazing. Service was exceptional. I will definitely go back there again.

                                  Our entrees were excellent. The Salmon was delicious as was the lechon asado pork. The yucca and moro rice sides that accompanied the entrees were also excellent. The chicken empanadas puff pastry was delightful but the chicken was dry and spicy. (Since when is Cuban food spicy?) The maduros were also a bit dry.

                                  Really like this place, to which I have been coming from time to time since the 1980s! I also like the relatively recent upgrade of the facilities. But I’m growing tired of the overpriced/chinzy drinks and the upsell by the waiters at the table (and we orders appetizers, deserts, drinks etc. ) The older waiters are fading from the scene and I already miss them since the new guys don’t appear up to the task..
