I absolutely loved this place. The feel inside is very European. It feels like you are transported into another world. Every single dish we ordered tasted amazing. The service was top-notch, especially from our drinks guy Antonio. He was so attentive, very on top of things, and made the experience even better. I will keep coming back here for sure.

Went on Monday for lunch. Service was great . Very nice ambiance. Loved the fresh bread. Got the French onion soup which was delicious. Cuban sandwich with shoestring fries, the sandwich was good but far from a Cuban sandwich. Fries were a little weird to eat but were yummy. the reason I was there was because I was in the mood for a crème brûlée, it did not disappoint. Did enjoy the trip out there. Next time might try something else on the menu.

Food wasn’t perfect but was really very good. Prices were a bit high, but I think the service really puts them over the top. One of the few places I’ve been to recently where you get really top notch table. I also really love that they’re still serving classic bistro fare

Came to celebrate another birthday dinner here. Consistently delicious food and excellent service. This visit we had Oysters for our starter and for entrees, the roasted Salmon and mushrooms with horseradish sauce and Linguini with clams, spinach and garlic. A bottle of Malbec was a nice complement. Great atmosphere and vibe. Love this place!

ALL of the food was delicious, starting with the bread, then onto perfectly prepared calamari, and then concluding with chicken and duck.

Enjoyed our experience however there were a few misses in regards to some menu items. Foie gras was a generous portion but the sweetness was clumped into one bite. Our son said the dish was too sweet whereas our portions were in a dire need of a touch of sweetness. Also, part of the foie was burnt. The salad seemed to have no dressing at all. On the bright side the mussels were tasty and perfectly cooked, oysters were fresh, lamb was medium rare as we ordered it.

Hi, old world restaurant settings. Outside seating. Stamped out ceiling panels. Outside building facade is gorgeous.

This spot gives tropical and Cuban vibes, and all crafty cocktails and food vibes. Both exterior and interior decor are beautiful. Plenty of candle wax used and on display as well. Mojito was excellent, not too sweet. Complimentary Bread and Butter was nice – bread was soft on the inside and had a toasty crust. Ordered Olives Herb Marinated to munch on as an appetizer, then the Cuban Ham & Cheese Sandwich (aka Cubano) with Frites. The Sandwich was perfectly sized and Frites were perfectly crispy and just the right size of thin. Should have asked for mustard for the Sandwich but was just fine without it. Maybe next time. There are also eggs on display at the bar area which we were told were for eating. Maybe will try that next time too! Will definitely get the Onion Soup Gratinée (French Onion Soup) next visit or opt for the Lunch Combination (Half Salad, Hald Sandwich, Cup of Soup), and will have to try the Tiramisu!

Nostalgic, Cuban decor with vintage mirrors and giant candle wax build-up. Veteran, top-notch service allows your party to enjoy your conversations. Very good food overall with choices for everyone. Will definitely be back.

The atmosphere is surreal. Cozy and a mix of European/Cuban. The tables, the light fixtures, the subway tiles, the candles, the ceilings, gosh! Even the bathrooms are perfect! The food was excellent and the presentation superb. Thank you.
