This restaurant was WONDERFUL! I took my dad here for his birthday and his celebration was nothing short of magical. I discovered this restaurant through a promotional deal with the Broadway Musical “Buena Vista Social Club” and let me tell you, having a meal here before seeing the show was wonderful. The atmosphere and staff was phenomenal. HUGE SHOUTOUT to Luz (our wonderful server!) She made us feel so welcomed and truly one of the best servers I have ever had in a restaurant. I will definitely be coming back here again and again. The food was so delicious and the deserts were great! I loved the Flan and the churros!

Came here on recommendation from one of my old professors, and it certainly lives up to expectations! Delightful service from Luiza, restaurant was ideal temperature, great variety of music and at a comfortable volume to not distract from the dining experience. I ordered the caipirinha with guava, the Clásico Sándwich Cúbano, sweet potato fries, and flan. I couldn't be happier with everything and will definitely recommend this place to anyone!

The food was good. It was authentic and flavorful. The theme was authentic to the culture. What wasn't so great? The tables were REALLY close to one another. The space was overcrowded. The service was ok. The waiters were very busy so we did not get much frequent attention. The food is good but reservations are a MUST. Portions are good too.

Cuban restaurant with great retro vibe Highlight was the boisterous band belting out numbers that you can’t help but tap dance to. The trumpeter was the crown jewel of the band I had mango sauce glazed salmon, black beans and rice which was good but not exceptional It was crowded but still airy The interior decor very evocative with orange color painted walls, gigantic flower vases with plants of paradise The ambience was true Latin energy Recommended !

A group of 10 and the service was wonderful. The live band was fantastic! The air-conditioning wasn't that great and there wasn't enough guacamole for the amount of chips that are given. Beside that, I'd recommend this restaurant and I will be back!
