    Always a great time! One of my favorite restaurants. Food and service is always amazing. Paella and Ox Tail are go to’s for me but everything is good. Can’t go wrong. Great spot for a date or a family dinner. Feels like you’re sitting in a restaurant in Havana. Can’t wait to get back there!

    Recommended by our daughter and son-in-law, this was our first visit. But not our last! The service and the food were excellent. Our server was very friendly and informative. We were sitting next to a couple who said they were actually Cuban, and they said this was the best Cuban restaurant they’ve tried. “Better than Miami”!

    A perfect dining experience! Louis and his staff so cordial , fun , accommodating , and welcoming. Dine here when in town and try different entrees each time. Ate outside which was delightful but have been indoors and the vibe is fun. Bit noisy but doesn’t detract - good atmosphere and decor is most charming. Will be returning. Enjoyed wine selection as well.
