A truly island experience! Everyone was so pleasant, friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. We have to go back because now we want to enjoy the live Latin music inside. We would say eat outside and have a drink at the bar to enjoy the Latin music vibe. We are even thinking of bringing our Dine-Around group here for brunch. Another unique gesture was including a very sweet personalized happy birthday card (we were celebrating my husbands birthday) signed by each of the staff. A truly unique and sweet gesture.

The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance and excellent service, but unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The yuca fries were stale, and the seafood crab salad was overwhelmingly heavy with mayonnaise, served with old chips. The oxtail lacked flavor, tasting more like a mole sauce, and all of our dishes arrived cold. Everyone at the table agreed that the food lacked seasoning and overall quality. While the setting and service were wonderful, the meal itself was disappointing and not worth the price.

This was such a fun date night. We sat at a high table near the stage and enjoyed listening to the music. A photographer came by and took several pictures of us. She came back with everything she had taken was in frames and we loved them all. We ended up buying one for $20 already in a nice frame. The food was great. Our server was wonderful and it was his first day. We would have never guessed. We really enjoyed the food and ambience. My partner had the Cuban sandwich, I had the shrimp ceviche. We will be back.

Good food. Maybe has dropped off a little since first opening. Still a good option every now and again. A Cuban bread option would be nice, since that's one of the great things about Cuban meals.

Great music, great service and good food. Nothing that wowed me but I have had the best Cuban food so that set my standards really really high. Most will really like it. Definitely recommend the place on a Saturday night.

We absolutely love this restaurant for special occasions. Food is authentic and there is music and Dancing. The lighting is dim and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Food is pricey for some dishes but definitely worth it!!!

Kid-friendliness: Family oriented, children are welcome. Sometimes a band plays and there is dancing. They also have a bar.
