    Service was wonderful! The food was excellent and the waiter was happy to explain how things were cooked at what ingredient were use. Also, the portions were plentiful. I will return!

    Such a fun authentic dining experience. There were musicians playing the sounds and rhythms of Havana on one side of the restaurant and the hostess nicely sat us on the far side as requested due to hearing issues for some in our party so while we enjoyed the music and vibes we could also catch up with our friends. The staff is attentive and the food was delicious. We love Cuba 1958; so fun

    We felt very rushed to be out of there in an hour. Our waiter did not even offer us coffee or dessert. Just put the check down on the table when we were expected to leave.

    The food was very salty, particularly the pork and the black beans. Some of it was too salty for members of my party to eat. The side dishes were not hot when served. The portions were large and the wine was good.

    Service was friendly and fun, but unobtrusive. Our meals were all over the top delicious- from shrimp to traditional roasted pork to chicken. The congris (black beans and rice combined) was perfect, as were the sweet plantains. We will be back…can’t wait to try it for lunch.

    Our food took a long time to arrive and when it did it was lukewarm. The steak we had was very very thin. Congri and yuca was good. My friend ordered a drink mid meal that arrived after we had finished eating.
