I went to this restaurant to celebrate my father's birthday. Unfortunately, I did not like the food recommendation given by the waiter. When I asked him if I could switch it for something else, he insisted to my father that he wrap that meal for us to take home and that he can give me another choice at AN ADDITIONAL COST of whatever the meal cost. What he should have done is get the manager as I requested and he refused to do. This waiter treated the woman at my table as irrelevant and valueless. He conducted himself as a misogynist. He made this a horrible experience and I can only hope that his actions do not represent the restaurant as a whole. I am very upset by this because I am not one to send my food back and I pride myself in treating waiters and waitresses with lots of respect because I understand what they do is not easy. I am writing this review not because of the horrible plate of food i was forced to take home and throw out but for the fact that this waiter made the woman at my table, including myself, feel prejudiced against.

Food was good but unfortunately the service is not the best. The photographer girl rolled her eyes at my partner and me when we declined a photo. We were not rude when declining in any way. Sadly, we will not be going back.

Great place for a celebration. Food was very good and served fast, service was good as well. Entertainment was a nice surprise. Even when you are in the room away from the bar you stull are part of the entertainment. There are tv's that display life entertainment and performers come to all areas.

I visited this location many times with my team, but this was a special day. The food is always great and staff never disappoints. The beverages (adult) are on point as well. The seating is comfortable, and the parking is enough.

EVERYTHING tasted like vinegar! The black beans, ham croquettes and 3 different steaks. The first steak was pure rubber. Send The 2nd was asked for med rare... came well done. The 3rd was a Rib Eye that was 1/4 inch thick. Hardly worth $40... asked for med well.. it came well. Pure waste of time and money! Never again.

Excellent food, they just need to remove the guy at the door, an old European who should retire because he always has a bad attitude, and put a woman or another nicer person in.

Made a reservation for Valentine’s Day weeks in advance. Arrive, reservation not honored. Wait 45 min to be presented with a table where other people were waiting right in our face, no thank you. Wasn’t worth staying!

Amazing place, amazing food and amazing dancers. Stay for the shows or show up late enough to catch the shows and the dance floor.

Decent spot for good Cuban food and larger groups. Shows on weekends can be fun but service is lacking.

Our waters weren't refilled until we asked a 3rd time but they made sure to take photos and try to sell to us at the table for $20 each, Feels incredibly tacky to be asked to take and buy photos while I'm eating dinner.
