We are tourists and made a reservation but were told off at the restaurant that we were 3 mins after the grace period and that our table was given away - though the restaurant looked empty. We didn’t receive any reminder message as the restaurant claimed. Would not recommend for tourists looking for a reliable spot for dinner.

I absolutely loveeeeeeee this restaurant!!!! Their coconut mojitos is the best thing everrrrrrrrr! The ambiance of the restaurant makes you feel as though you have transported to Cuba! I love the decor and the music that was played while we were there. Their pressed bread with mango butter is to die for!!!!! First round is on them but then you'll have to pay extra for another round and that makes sense. On the weekend the restaurant turns into a nightclub which I think is awesome! It's 20$ entry fee but if you are there your receipt is eligible for two weeks to get in for FREE! Def 10/10 !!!

Had a wonderful time and came twice during my visit to Philly! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was incredibly flavorful. The menu was well rounded, from the olives with hints of citrus to the guacamole with lump crab- I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you!

The food was delicious and our server helped with some recommendations. The atmosphere made for a great experience!! The drinks were great, we ordered from all the different varieties and the banana split dessert was perfect for sharing.
This was the most disappointing experience I've had at a restaurant. It wasn't catastrophically awful, but just deeply disappointing. We came here to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary, and when I made reservations, the website had several questions about our preferences and occasion, and even asked to upload a photo so that they could "greet us when we arrived." This all seemed to indicate a place with elevated hospitality that seeks to personalize your experience. Instead, I don't think I've ever felt as disregarded as I did during our dinner here. First off, when we walked in, even though the entrance and bar area was empty, no one came to greet us or seat us. This was after their automated system asked to announce our arrival by text, which we did, so it should have let them know we were there. A group of young men came in after us and the bartender talked to them, but acted as though we were completely invisible. Eventually (like, a good while later) someone finally acknowledged our presence and seated us. We were told we would get the complimentary toasted bread and mango butter for the table, and we ordered 2 cocktails and the chip & dip trio to start. The chips & dips arrived first (also not too quickly) and there were so few chips that it was obvious we'd run out well before we could make a dent in the dips. I thought we'd get a chip refill once that happened, but alas that did not happen. It took 47 minutes from the time of our reservation for the cocktails to arrive. I think it took the bread even LONGER, and that's after asking about it at least 3 times. There was a point in time, when we were 30 mins into the "dinner," and still waiting on cocktails and appetizers, that I started looking at menus of other places on the block and trying to decide if we should just cut our losses and go. My husband's appetizer finally came, and (eventually) the cocktails. My appetizer/soup did NOT come and when I asked about it, I was told "it'll be out in a moment" but it was obvious that the kitchen completely forgot about it. Eventually our entrees arrived, and still no soup. After asking multiple people, it was finally brought out: at this point, my entree was already starting to cool. And they had the gall to announce excitedly "here it is, freshly made!" when I'd hope any good restaurant would have their food freshly made but also made on time. The entree was... underwhelming. The rice tasted old and congealed. We had wanted to get multiple cocktails and dessert, but at that point we just asked for boxes and the check. (We were also out of water by this time & no one cared to check on refills.) It was a really unfortunate experience that took away any celebratory feeling from what was supposed to be a joyous special occasion. In fact, it was so bad that we decided we'd have to pretend that wasn't our actual anniversary dinner and try again this weekend.

I had been to this restaurant many times with fond memories and good reviews. However, I experienced the worse today. My families stopped by the restaurant in the mid afternoon. There was not much people in the restaurant and seemed enough servers. The meal took an hour to served after we finished appetizers(they were good as always). We ordered two salads, one soup, and one steak. Three of our dishes ordered should all had Arugula but all were missing. After asked the server, she said, oh, probably we ran out of Arugula, and yea we definitely ran out if it. How can a restaurant making three dishes with missing ingredient or substituted with other stuffs without telling the customer or giving customer the choice for something else? After spoke to the manager, he offered to take off drinks (non alcohol), and free desert. So we only ordered the Cuban coffee to go. After 15 minutes waiting two small go-cup (shot size) finally arrived. The coffee was supposed to use coconut cream, however, non of coconut smell in it, and the taste was weaker than 7-eleven coffee. It was very different from what we had in past visits. Before our departure, we specifically asked the server that if there was any issue in the kitchen, thought to make sense on the unpleasant experience, the answer was no issue. Overall, late food serving, missing ingredient in dishes, non communication to customer, and served low grade coffee, very disappointed experience.
