We came today for Restaurant Week only to find the restaurant closed. There was no mention of the closure on the website or Facebook, which resulted in an unnecessary trip across town. Better communication would be appreciated.

Sadly not a good one.
I have no idea what is going on with this establishment and I am not sure if management is aware either. I have been to this establishment several times and have never had an experience as I did today. I called in my order for pickup. According to the menu posted online there is a BLT sandwich available, however, when I asked to order it. I was told that they never carried a BLT. I then asked to order two turkey sandwich lunch specials and 2 beef empanadas and tostones. The total was 35.00. a bit pricey but with the experience I have had before I felt the food was worth it. I asked for extra pickles on the order as well. I went to pick up the food to my surprise the order was not ready. I had to wait. I came back to my office to eat my wonderful food nope that was not the case. There were no french fries or plantain chips with the sandwich specials. I called and asked and was told that I would have to pay for them. I explained that it would cost me just as much to drive back and get them. I went back to the establishment and had to wait almost 30 minutes for french fries and extra pickles. by the time I got back to my sandwich it was soggy. Very disappointing experience. I will not recommend this establishment anymore Sorry Cuba 1918

This restaurant is so beautiful and welcoming which was slightly misleading. Despite being one of 3 tables in the restaurant, it took over 30 minutes for bacon and egg. the tortilla was over cooked and hard, the eggs were greasy and almost all the food came out cold. The servers all seemed to rather stay huddled together rather than check on their tables even with long wait times and issues with peoples orders. The lady who I can only assume was the owner or manager stood by the front door like a body guard. The whole place is just so strange and unwelcoming.

WEBSITE PRICES NOT CURRENT:
Absolutely beautiful place, great atmosphere as long as you don’t send your food back to be made to order cause then the staff starts questioning each other on what to do loudly without asking the patron. It seems like the server was new not to hold it against her but she didn’t receive much support. There was 3 tables, our food took 30 minutes. Food came out inconsistent, bacon and egg taco (bacon was cool, egg was warm and the tortilla cold) the side of potato’s had that reheated look, of thick shrively skin and they also were not hot.
I ordered French fries as well, got Yuka fries @8$ thankfully those were delicious with a great sauce.
My cafe 1918 tho, soooo yummmyyyy

Cuba 1918 offers a variety of delicious Cuban dishes for reasonable prices. The staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was very nice. In all honesty, it was some of the best Cuban food I’ve had outside of Miami. I highly recommend visiting this place and getting a Cuban sandwich, along with a Cuban coffee.

We love coming to Cuba 1918 for Sunday Brunch. The vibe in this cozy restaurant is one like no other. Walking through the doors, that aroma of Cuban cuisine smells so good. The Cuban music has you feeling alive with good vibes while you eat. If you ever get a chance to visit during one of their evening events, you'll love the live music and performances. My son ate there for the first time today and he loved it. The owners are amazing people and we love supporting those who make a difference in our community. 100% recommend!
William was an awesome server. Was a great experience with great food!

The Cuban version of chilaquiles was awesome. Plantains instead of corn tortillas was brilliant.
