This is one of my favorites - I love the whole fried red snapper - crispy and tender and well seasoned. The dressing on the salad that comes with it has a refreshing bit and the sweet plantains are always cooked just right. I was disappointed with the the tres leche cake -it tasted more like tiramisu than, too much garnish for me.

Service was the worse I ever experienced at this location. After being seated it took about 25 minutes for my drink order to be taken. That set the tone fore the rest of the evening. I won’t be going back anytime soon.

Dona Habana was fantastic! The food was outstanding—both in texture and flavor. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly polite, from the greeter to the waiter. Our waiter was especially amazing—attentive, pleasant, and made our dining experience even better. Highly recommend!
