Food for the rest of my party was outstanding. Mom had the fried snapper and loved the presentation. My 11 year old girls had chicken dishes which the loved. I had the fish stew, which is traditionally the best bag for your buck based on past visits. Unfortunately, this time the snapper was over cooked making it impossible to eat. Not sure if you've ever had over cooked white fish but it ended up chewy and flavorless ?. Overall it was a great experience and the staff do their best to be accommodating.

We loved this place, everyone was extremely friendly, drinks were amazing and food was so good. They have mojito flights, you can choose 4 out of I think 7 flavors (we got guava, passion fruit, peach and pina colada), we got SURTIDO DE LA HABANA as an appetizer, a little of everything including really good chicken and beef empanadas and then we got the lobster grill for dinner (LANGOSTA CAMPESINA), all of it was perfect for the three of us.

Food and drinks were excellent! Live music was good, but beware…the music was very loud, difficult to have a convo with your date or guests. Overall though, I’m glad I came and will be back.

Everything was amazing! I went with some friends for easter brunch and the Jose's service our server, it was outstanding. The food delicious, and music was in a good level and enjoyable. I am going back for sure.

Went in for a quick drink last minute on a Monday. Bartender was friendly and knew their tequila options without having to turn around and looking at the bottles. He made me a rum based cocktail, which he claims is their best seller, I could see why. It was very easy to drink with a pineapple garnish. Decor was attractive, eyes stayed busy looking at details. Would recommend for date night, after work drinks, or if you're looking to try something new. Will definitely go back.

I went to Doña Habana for an event a professional organization I belong to was hosting there. The food was amazing and the passion fruit mojito was one of the best I have ever had.

The food was absolutely delicious. My husband and I went for the first time for our 15th Anniversary and we were blown away. So much flavor and the ambiance was inviting. There was live music and the singer would go to each table and pull people up to dance. This is something I wish I knew beforehand because I have social anxiety so that part was pretty uncomfortable for me but overall it was a good experience from start to finish.

Staff there seems friendly, I walked in had to wait about 5 mins at the bar for the bartender to come over- told to scan a QR code on the bar, order a drink on there (says $6 bucks for Coors lite) grab some food. Have 4 drinks food.. Bill comes, more drinks than I had ordered, 18% gratuity is already added to it, which does not allow you to change this amount even though the website and receipt state you can changed this. Drinks are more than they are listed on the menu I am told to look at.... I tell her its wrong, she talks to another staff member, who admits they may have added their tables drinks to mine has to get a manager to fix it, but still ignores the fact that the menu price I am told to look at is different than I am being charged. When all is said and done, I am still being charged almost 10 dollars more than I should be charged. Was unable to talk to the manager, will be going in tomorrow to find out why the menu is outdated.. Not somewhere I want to go to again.

Ordered the garlic shrimp with a few pieces of bread you get 7 shrimp and a few toasted pieces of bread . 17.00 also order the seafood paella . 32.00 the seafood paella was not good at all my friend ordered the same . The lobster was very dry and you had to peel some of the shrimp . The bartender was so sweet and made excellent mojitos . Just the food was NO GOOD . I’m from Seattle I was so looking forward to this place. Maybe it was the chef idk I will never return . Sadly . Photo looks good but it wasn’t . ??? Cathy

The ambiance and energy are always great here. The food is very good and consistent. If you can get a table, weekend nights can get a little intense as they make a big spectacle for people's birthdays. Lots of people seem to come here on their special day. Overall, a great restaurant.

The ambiance is cool ! But the food was dismal the seafood paella was not good . The bartender was so sweet but I am being honest here the food was not good . The mojitos were awesome . Maybe it was the chef the food didn't seem fresh and it's Boston I really wanted it to be ! I'm from Seattle and I took an Uber to get there I'm so sad to write this I wanted it to be good ! My girlfriend I was with had the same seafood and it had a hair in it . I really feel bad to write this but it was expensive . They took off 20.00 which we appreciated. Maybe you will have better luck ! Cathy

Se tardan bastante en atender y llevar la comida y mi pollo tenía un olor muy feo que no me lo comí , y cuando uno reserva en el lounge para tener música en vivo siempre lo sientan en el otro lado
