    Place needs a physical update with paint peeling on walls and front area looks dirty with outdated Furniture. Food was much better but my guess is do to lack of staff drinks and food took a long time to,get.

    Always enjoy Havana Central. Service and food are always good. I usually go in the evenings so noticed a difference in the temperature of the food. The food is not as hot during lunchtime.

    Been here a few times, once for my birthday, but a few for Thanksgiving. We don't really celebrate Thanksgiving, so going out to eat has become tradition. It's always crowded on Thanksgiving here, but great service and delicious food.

    Jackie, thank you for partaking in our Thanksgiving feast! We are so glad you and your family have joined us for different occasions. We hope to see you again soon!

    Very good restaurant close to theater district. Casual dining with great family style menu. Sliders and chicken fingers/fries were big hits w my grandkids. Churrasco steak was so tender and delicious. Tostones were crisp and flavorful. Going back soon even without Broadway tickets...lol.

    We have been here a few times before a show and always love it. This time however there was a hair in my food. I mean crap happens, they took it away and served a new one. I do think management could have addressed it, given us a drink, or dessert.
    Havana Central Times SquareResponded 1 day ago
    Hi Liz, thank you for your support over the years! We're so sorry to hear about this and we apologize for not offering a dessert on the house. We hope you can give us another chance soon to wow you.

    Ramon, our waiter, never rushed us and checked to c if we needed anything while my friend and I chatted. My mango glazed salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked. And, Ramon and the other servers did a great Happy Birthday song, as well. It was a very enjoyable lunch, complete with music. Thank u.
