We loved this place, everyone was extremely friendly, drinks were amazing and food was so good. They have mojito flights, you can choose 4 out of I think 7 flavors (we got guava, passion fruit, peach and pina colada), we got SURTIDO DE LA HABANA as an appetizer, a little of everything including really good chicken and beef empanadas and then we got the lobster grill for dinner (LANGOSTA CAMPESINA), all of it was perfect for the three of us.

Food and drinks were excellent! Live music was good, but beware…the music was very loud, difficult to have a convo with your date or guests. Overall though, I’m glad I came and will be back.

Went in for a quick drink last minute on a Monday. Bartender was friendly and knew their tequila options without having to turn around and looking at the bottles. He made me a rum based cocktail, which he claims is their best seller, I could see why. It was very easy to drink with a pineapple garnish. Decor was attractive, eyes stayed busy looking at details. Would recommend for date night, after work drinks, or if you're looking to try something new. Will definitely go back.

I went to Doña Habana for an event a professional organization I belong to was hosting there. The food was amazing and the passion fruit mojito was one of the best I have ever had.

Staff there seems friendly, I walked in had to wait about 5 mins at the bar for the bartender to come over- told to scan a QR code on the bar, order a drink on there (says $6 bucks for Coors lite) grab some food. Have 4 drinks food.. Bill comes, more drinks than I had ordered, 18% gratuity is already added to it, which does not allow you to change this amount even though the website and receipt state you can changed this. Drinks are more than they are listed on the menu I am told to look at.... I tell her its wrong, she talks to another staff member, who admits they may have added their tables drinks to mine has to get a manager to fix it, but still ignores the fact that the menu price I am told to look at is different than I am being charged. When all is said and done, I am still being charged almost 10 dollars more than I should be charged. Was unable to talk to the manager, will be going in tomorrow to find out why the menu is outdated.. Not somewhere I want to go to again.

Ordered the garlic shrimp with a few pieces of bread you get 7 shrimp and a few toasted pieces of bread . 17.00 also order the seafood paella . 32.00 the seafood paella was not good at all my friend ordered the same . The lobster was very dry and you had to peel some of the shrimp . The bartender was so sweet and made excellent mojitos . Just the food was NO GOOD . I’m from Seattle I was so looking forward to this place. Maybe it was the chef idk I will never return . Sadly . Photo looks good but it wasn’t . ??? Cathy

I celebrated my sister's birthday and had a great evening. Overall, the food was good, but I wish more sauces were included with the samplers given that many of the items in these sets are fried and lean on the drier side.

It was our 3-4th time going. Usually, we get serviced rather quickly and attentive. However, yesterday was a bit odd half our order was taken, the waiter left to get someone else order, my husbands drink came 20-25 minutes before mine. I don’t know if it was against me/us or if it was an off night for the waitress. Regardless him and I had a good time despite this rare incident.

The food is not great. They closed down el Oriental de Cuba so I need it new place.

Great time and great food. Great place for my ladies B-Day celebration. Please can get little tight but makes it more authentic. Love the props they pull out for B-Day celebrations.

The seafood paella was good. However, our food came out really late. It was Valentine's day so it was pretty packed which caused a delay in service time. It was a bit cramped until the people next to us were finished with their food. I would recommend on a not so busy day so you can really enjoy the ambiance and food. They did have a violin player play some love songs so that was nice.
