Nice place to spend with books, coffee and music. I must say you will visit again.

I saw this picture of a Turkey chipotle sandwich inside this Barnes & Noble with like 5 slices of Turkey or so inside the sandwich. It cost around $10. So when I started to eat this sandwich, I noticed it had only ONE SLICE of Turkey on one side of the sandwich and “almost” two slices on the other half of the sandwich. And NO mozzarella like the BARNES & Noble website claims this sandwich has. The young man took more than 10 minutes to warm it up even though I was the only person ordering food. I wonder if he was taking out the meat to make himself a sandwich for later. Why was he fussing over my Turkey sandwich for soooo long. He looked quite suspicious handling my sandwich for over 10 minutes.

I used to really like this mall. I just went to the movie there and the mall has turned into a “has been” mall. The stores, restaurants and cleanliness has all gone down.

This is a large establishment with high-end liquors on the bar menu. The dishes may not be completely authentic island cuisine, but they are delicious. For me, the empanadas stood out.

We came here for happy hour on a weekday. The place was empty and the drinks, food, and service was excellent. We can’t wait to come back!

Have not been here in a really long time. Well maintained mall. Has some unique shops, things for the kids to do, several full restaurants, we chose the Cheesecake Factory. We visited specifically because of Macy's. Needed dresses and they have the best selection around. Worth a visit if you haven't been.
My wife and I visited Havana Central on a whim while at the Menlo Park mall. As a sit-down restaurant, the dining room was spacious and well-appointed! The furniture reminded me a bit of an elegant diner, but the decorations, music, and atmosphere conveyed pre-revolution Cuban culture. The service started out well with our server being attentive as we were seated and ordered promptly. It became spotty once we were finished and wanted to pay and leave, which took approximately 15 minutes before we actually waved down our server and she stopped long enough to process our payment. The food was excellent! Empanadas and sauteed kale and garlic for appetizers were outstanding. I had the salmon and camarones and my wife had the camarones ajillo. Both, excellent! Along with our terrific margarita and mojito, it was a very good lunch notwithstanding the overly busy wait staff. See pics of the restaurant and food!

I would not recommend this for ANY occasion. Their description says "a true celebration of Cuban culture". I must be confusing Cuban with some other culture, because this was not it. The place feels "cold" and empty as you walk in. The hostess (or whomever the person at the entrance is) was sour faced to match the altogether vibe. It took a long time to get attention of a bar attendant, while we waited to NOT to be notified when our reserved table was ready (we arrived too early). When one of us asked for a coconut rum in her drink, she was told they were all out. After the confusion settled, it was discovered Malibu was what she meant and the "bartender " only knew it by that name. When our 3 sad looking drinks arrived, they were accompanied by 1 straw. My easy stroll to the other end of the bar fixed that (as 2 employees behind the bar watched unapologetically). One non-alcoholic "passion fruit" aka sour pineapple smoothy and 2 small alcoholic o.k. drinks came to $34 + tip. Once seated, I've ordered garlic shrimp that was recommended by a friend with 2 sides. It was a small portion of an unappealing looking meal. The best thing we've tried there: small pieces of Mexican street corn. Four mediocre meals and 3 appetizers- $120 + tip. It's a sad place with sad drinks and sad food; sour faced hostess and an incompetent "bartender ". The only thing there that had a hint of Cuban anything, were stacks of hats, often associated with Cuba, in a glass case and a faint sound of Latin music. I'm sorry to have forgotten the name of our server, he was a sweetheart.
