Very nice restaurant with a very nice group of staff. Food is really well prepared and has a charm about it. Madera chicken was really good, a touch salty but good nevertheless. Yuka fries were nice as well. Definitely recommend.

An amazing place for a date night, very specious with a nice decor. Delicious food, drinks and atmosphere. Prices are on the high end but adequate to the quality of service and food. The SKIRT STEAK with chimichurri was delicious as well as the whole Red Snapper with mango and black beans. Of course mojitos are a must at this Cuban restaurant!

All around a great place that I’d love to come back to and try out other options. The waiting staff is very friendly and helped out with a few food choices! The madera chicken is great and if recommended a few empanadas to try out as well. The quality is there and the sizes are rather generous. Would definitely stop by if you’re in the area and looking for some great food!

Ordered take out and it was really disappointing. The yuca fries were flavorless and chewy either overcooked or stale. The citrus marinated hearts of palm salad for $14 was a complete joke- just lettuce and some hearts of palm tossed haphazardly in- what marination? Cuban sandwich was decent but nothing special. Overall a waste of $45 on Seamless. Maybe this spot is better dine in?

Small restaurant with lots of potential but miss to deliver good. I’ll start by saying that the food is over price. I mean over price. Portion sizes are small and expensive. Not only that, Cuban food is flavorful and they not close to flavorful. The ropa vieja does not have that authentic Cuban feel to, tasting more like a bland beef stew with a lot of tomato paste. The croquettes were dry like card board. And the calamari that was the only thing with a bit of flavor; the portion it’s very small.

Delicious food with generous portions, cocktails were pretty good too. There was live music, which added to the atmosphere. Occasionally, the service was a bit slow but it was clearly also a rather busy night.

The food is over hyped and sub par. I’ve had better oxtail at the state fair. It also took over an hour for our food to come out once we ordered, however I will say the waiter was extremely gracious, apologized a number of times, and was clearly concerned with our experience. Perhaps an off night for them, but I won’t be back.
