    Great choice to celebrate our anniversary! A long time fan, and former employee, of the Cordua restaurants. It was great to finally get here to try it out and we were not disappointed. Food was wonderfully presented, flavors were fantastic and the ambience was perfect for a cozy dinner with my wife. It was great to see David in the dining room interacting with guests, something that seems to be missing from a lot of restaurants these days. Our server was fantastic, unfortunately her name is escaping me at the moment. Thank you to everyone at Lymbar for a great evening!

    Loved this restaurant. Went there before attending a performance at the Hobby Center. We haven't had much cuban food before and really enjoyed the variety the menu offered. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and the service was great! Also enjoyed the rum-themed drink menu. Give this restaurant a try! You will love it.
