Great Cuban food and cocktails but portions are on the small side. I prefer the Cuban restaurants in Miami.

Very nice atmosphere and service. Lots of Tapas options including a large vegetarian section. There is a nice bar downstairs. We had a fantastic experience overall. They close at 10pm but we stayed till nearly half past ten without getting kicked out (we didn’t realise until we saw them cleaning all the tables etc).

I have dined here twice now and it's moving up on my list of regular spots. Food is excellent. We were seated downstairs which was a little noisy but at 7 on a Friday that is to be expected. There were 5 of us and we shared several small plates. All were very good. The standouts were the chicken tacos. Incredibly flavorful ( I might say best I've had). Also the ribs and Lamb chops were great. We also shared the cauliflower which was delightful and meat and vegetables empanadas. Also very good. All 5 of us were very happy with the food..service was very good as well.

Thanks to this cozy atmosphere, we spent longer time than I imagined. Stuff always cared about customers, so we were able to order dishes smoothly. I haven’t been to Cuba so I enjoyed Cuban cuisine for the first time!

Fusion American Cuban. The food is good overall but far from authentic, and way too sweet for my taste (including all the meats). The tacos in the plantain shells were delightful, and the cocktails too...

Didn't have a reservation and came in at 5 when they open. They seated me and my friend downstairs in the very back next to the bathrooms and kitchen and the sound of the dishwasher and kitchen staff passing by us every two seconds. No one was in the restaurant when we came in. It never filled up and even as we left there were plenty of tables they could have seated us at that were much better that remained empty the entire time. The food here is great and I've come several times and recommend others who have become fans. I feel the young hostess gave us the worst table as a punishment for not having a reservation. As we were sitting there at the worst table in the restaurant, I checked online and there were plenty of reservations available. I wrote two emails to the email listed on their website to explain about this terrible experience and no one got back to me. Acitron in Arlington is a good alternative and customer service and treatment is much better!

We ordered scallop ceviche, ensalada de remolacha, chuletas de Cordero, puerco asado, ropa vieja, and Santiago sour.The Santiago sour drink, I thought was really good. Not too sour, and it goes well with our dishes.The scallops ceviche was OK. IT wasn't anything special. It was missing something.The beet salad and the lamb chop are a must!The slow braised pork with rice and salad is good, too.We never got our ropa vieja even though we ordered it. When the bill came out, we noticed that we were charged with ropa vieja. We spoke to our waitor and he took off the bill.Service was good. The meals came out fast for the most part until the ropa vieja. My drink came out with a broken piece of glass at the bottom, so it was fine. It wasn't in the drink.Overall, the food was good. It does get busy on the weekend. Good date place. The food prices were reasonable. FYI, there is a kitchen service fee when you get your bill.There are plenty of parking spaces in the back.

Every dish we ordered was excellent! The scallops were exceptional and the dessert was very creative and tasty! The place was slightly crowded and loud, especially in the basement, but the waitress let us move to a quieter spot. Overall a great experience!

Yum. The ropa vieja and yuca fries took me right back to Cuba. So good. The queso frito was another favorite of the night, although my husband also loved his dorado (fish with rice in coconut sauce) and the croquetas de hongos. I can see why the chef is a finalist for the James Beard award. The drinks were just okay, but the service was pretty good. We definitely over ordered and didn't have room for dessert, so we're going to have to come back in the near future to try their tres leches Basque cheesecake. Some of the food is a little on the salty side, however, overall I highly recommend.

It is great food but the service area has grown beyond the capability of the kitchen. I had a reservation here at 8pm and still had to wait a half an hour to be seated. The food was equallyas delayed. Honestly the service recovery is the only reason I didn't give 3 stars.
