As we first walk in everything seemed fine until we got a rude waitress. As our food gets to the table, I ordered salmon that was raw.. My friend asked for a different side instead of beans and she would not allow it. She gave us a terrible attitude when we wanted to split our check as a group and wouldn’t let us so we paid cash. Worst experience & honestly the food was not worth the prices at all. Go to a different spot.

This place is always great. Amazing food, drinks and ambiance.

Had reservation for Sunday brunch Seated quickly Food took a long time but was good Service was iffy, not attentive, did not refill water Had to flag down server for more coffee( charged for second cup) No music/ band as advertised Will do takeout next time

Nice place with good service and food. Portion size is big. Depending on the dish you can feed 2-4 people. They have dancers and dj at night. Music is loud.

Food was excellent and you definitely get your money's worth as we all had food to take home for anither meal. The music was on the louder side which is the norm in Cuban restaurants but there was a larger group that was extremely loud to the point where we couldn't hear our waitress and she had to constantly repeat things. Our waitress was kind enough to have them lower the music in hopes they would get lower but they were still so loud to the point where everyone was looking snd people that came in after were asking to be seated upstairs because of them. I would definitely go back but if the noise level is the same sit outside or also head upstairs.

Decided to try this location on a Sunday afternoon. Upon entering I was promptly seated, the store front appearance is vibrant and beautifully decorated. We ordered the Tostones Rellenos, which were delicious. We ordered 2 special items off menu. We got the Ossobuco and the Chilean Sea bass. The Ossobuco is a must if it is available, it is a hefty portion as well. The Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and the Yuca mash was delectable. My only complaint was the Chilean Sea bass came served with Shrimp, but the shrimp was not up to par with the rest of the meal. The shrimp had a tough texture so there for I found it inedible. At a high price of 65 for the Chilean sea bass meal I was dissatisfied. Other than that, the service here was great, the host and waiters were friendly, it’s a nice clean and vibrant atmosphere.

The food was great! The drinks were ok… I think I would need to try the non rum drinks to see if I like those better. They were slow to refill the unlimited drinks during the 90 minute brunch slot. Other than that, I had a yummy and enjoyable experience. I would certainly go back.

The waiter was very poor in serving. Also the manager wanted us outside to sit but I made reservations for inside. We stood our ground and there was plenty of seating inside.

Not the place to come for just rice and beans, way overpriced. Not the place to come if you’re vegetarian or vegan, not that many options considering that is Caribbean food.

Waitress was fantastic. Checked temperature of the room, quick drink service and the specials she recommended was fantastic. They could allow for more time between appetizers and dinner but overall A+
