Food perfect.... Service...excellent. Brian ( our server) was always there!! Ambience....music....made me non stop dancing!!!
Love the design of the place. Great food, my daughter ate a lot! The Waiter/server is very nice and tried to accommodating. Want some Cuban food. This is the place to go.
Came here for my birthday with my wife and kids, always wanted to try the Cuban. We ordered drinks, pina coladas, mojitos and margaritas and Chips and Willy's Guacamole for appetizer. Drinks were ok, didn't seem to have much alcohol, chips and guac were very good. For dinner I had the CHURRASCO CUBANO, Black angus open flamed grilled skirt steak, chimichurri, arroz moro and maduros topped with pickled onions, my wife and kids had the Vegetarian Paella, Served with carrots, cauliflower, green peas, red and green peppers, crushed tomatoes and sofrito sauce with Saffron rice, and 2 orders of Palomilla En Cebolla, Thinly sliced prime beef, marinated in garlic, lime, juice, topped with caramelized onions, cilantro, served white rice and black beans. Skipped desert but wanted to try Cuban coffee, was a very small portion, like a shot espresso, didn't know what expect. a little pricing for what it was. Our server didn't seem to speak English too well. Service was good, food and drinks came out in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, a little disappointed, definitely on the drinks, and coffee, food was good. When we left around 8:00 it was really starting to pick up with entertainment. Would like to give it another try at some point. Maybe order wine or beer for dinks.
I Liked This Spot, Starting With The Old Classic Cars Out In Front, Like The Ones In Cuba. Space Is HUGE. The Ambiance Is Kool And The Food And Drinks Is Ok -Only Because I Was Expecting It To Be More Spicy. They Got A Singer, And A Photographer If You Wish For A Decent Photo. And Cute Wait Staff, If Only They Speak Good English Too That Would Be Great, But I Understand. I'd Go Back To Try Some Other Dishes At Some Point
Has been here twice before and loved the look of it. It has this retro 60's era. They have old cars parked in the front, and palm trees as well. It does share the same building as the bowling alley. Last two times I was here the service was good and we got everything on time. Everything was going well this then around at first but after a my friend and I got out our food out of the way, and got the dessert menu, they took a while to ask if we wanted to order anything off the dessert menu or even wanted the check. The food was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm not sure if it took a long time considering they're was an event going on, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt considering it is the first time the have done this.
We like this place but a few missteps. Gorgeous day, so we sat outside. Wouldn't have made a difference, they had the doors opened so it would be the same in or out. They have a minor mosquito/fly issue. Maybe some well placed plants that repel bugs would be helpful. Staff is friendly but English seems to a bit of a challenge, we had to point to the menu to order. Food is good and plentiful. Ceviche, some garlic shrimp and the paella cubana were our choice of food. The boys liked the ceviche and the wife said the shrimp were tasty. My paella was good but a bit salty, I think I drank everyone's water lol we all had left overs and finished with the churros with banana ice cream - didn't get a pic of that, it went quick lol
Absolutely unexpected my girlfriend from childhood who still lives on Long Island recommended we go as a date night . We arrived to valet parking wonderful cocktails and a superb staff. Not let's get to the food the appetizer were ok ... the entrees were where the money is spent as my kids would say ....slamming . My boyfriend had the churrasco and I had their weekly special the Chilean sea bass delicious. Their tres leches was prepared wonderful ; and if this wasn't enough on weekends they gave dj and dancers after 8 . I'm going to hurt tomorrow well worth it .
What an awesome spot. Great food, fun vibes, and I loved the atmosphere. We came for a private party so we had a small pre-set menu to choose from. I'd come back for the full restaurant experience the food was that good. For the starter we had the Cubano mixto (a sampling). I loved the yucca fries. As my entree I had the la campechana which is an entire platter of seafood - lobster, scallops, mussels, and shrimp. It was delicious. Dip some Cuban bread in it and it's amazing. The mojitos were fantastic. They brought out fresh churros for dessert. I'm not a churro person but these were SO GOOD! Service was okay. They try hard, it was a large party so it's difficult to manage. Food took a long time to come out but other than that, this is a repeat place to go to.
Came here last night. Not too much parking available which is a bummer. Just my opinion, get rid of 1 or 2 of the historical cars out front to make room for your customers. The decorations and ambiance makes you want to dance. It's very nice. I was disappointed with the wiggly table. Just get a new one. The music was absolutely amazing and I'd love to come back to hear and dance again. The food was divine. It was just me and another person. I was stuffed. I highly recommend the marinated skirt steak and red sangria. Service was fast.
This was first time trying Cuban cuisine it has the most delicious Brunch the appetizers and 2pages of Specialty drinks 9 entrees for Brunch. Beautiful decor and awesome colors made you feel like you had a personal festive experience. They had Valet parking also outside the restaurant that had different themed areas to take pictures. It was something for everyone taste. Whatever you were celebrating you got individual wait staff made everything comes out at the same time. We had a large group and we were very satisfied,no wait time everyone food came at the same time. Definitely come back again. Had an excellent time and the music and total ambiance
