    The food was excellent and the portions were huge, which I didn’t expect for a prix fixe meal. I never bring extra food home but I did this time.

    Overall, the place is quite nice for its value. I visited on a holiday evening, and even with the prefixed menu, it seems that the restaurant still struggled to put out strong dishes for what I gauge as a moderate crowd. Red meats were served unintentionally raw. However, management was quick to remedy the issue. So, kudos to them for that. As the sitting progressed, it seemed as though service began to run slower and slower. Aside from those trivial issues, my family still enjoyed the overall vibe. I wouldn’t necessarily go out of my way to visit this restaurant again. It was not particularly bad, but aside from the décor…nothing was particularly notable either. To give context: I was comparing to my experiences at Michelin noted restaurants, and Chef tasting experiences.

    Habana is the best for New Years. Amazing food, fast service, good music, great decorations. They're always Fantastic but especially on New Years Eve. We go early to beat the crowds.

    The Salmon and seared ahi were delicious. I especially loved how the salmon was slightly crispy on the outside and moist and delicate. Also always enjoy the bull fighter cocktail made with mezcal tequila.

    I have gone to Habana for years. I typically love the Seared ahi dish. Unfortunately, they have changed the Ahi dish recipe, and I found it to be very overwhelming flavor wise. I had a hard time eating it. It was over seasoned. I also loved the original dish.
