We celebrated our wedding anniversary here and it was perfect!!! My Cuban husband is an expert on local Cuban cuisine, and this one did not disappoint. The staff was amazing and incredibly attentive. Great ambiance, excellent music, and fantastic drinks. To top it all off, they surprised us with free anniversary champagne! Oh they definitely know how to spoil their guests and we'll absolutely be back!!

Totally enjoyed our dining experience. We found no issues with the service. Both servers and bus staff were there to help out when needed. Loved the flakey emanates! Our other app and mains were delicious. Interior vibe was vibrant yet relaxing .
