Some tables are way too close to each other, drink menu is great !!! Food was typical Cuban , but I wish they would add just a tad bit more to the main plates it felt so rationed. Overall it was great. Wish there was more wow factor menu items like the menu needs an additional plate or 2 that will have people really talking about it. ( just my 2 cents in there) My husband had the ropa vieja and I had the chicken Milanese which was basically almost chicken parm and it was quite tasty!The music ,decor and ambiance is phenomenal. I think I’ll definitely come back.

Atmosphere was great. Drinks were great. Staff was amazing. Steak was over cooked & lobster tail barely had meat. The fried fish appetizer was on point.

I love this place but I only dine there when Barbara Zamora is there! She's spectacular. So much fun. Wait staff could be a bit more attentive but the food is great too.
