   The entire dining experience was exceptional, from the flavour & presentation of the food to the excellent service and the ambiance of the restaurant. The live music added to our overall dining experience as well.

   The musicians playing were solid (I’m a professor of music) lending a wonderful ambience to the garden setting. The waiter took our drink orders quickly as well as an early dinner order for our 16-month grandson, avoiding a meltdown. Very much appreciated! The sommelier guided me toward a US$120 bottle of wine that I wasn’t in the mood to spend, so I opted for a glass of Cab. The wine was quite good but the pour was rather meager. My son-in-law had a better pour. The food was creative and flavors were superb, but my daughter who does not like seafood found limited options, one of which was sold out. That said, two of us had the Wellington and were very pleased with the presentation and flavors; the seasonings were delicious. Considering we were a party of 8, we received excellent service and we all enjoyed our meals and drinks. I would definitely return and am happy to recommend Habanero’s to others. Note: We started out walking to the south part of town because the OpenTable link to Habanero’s sent us there. A hostess at a nearby restaurant (Barrio del Tango) said she has had directed others looking for Habanero’s through the link, so that needs to be fixed.

   Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the music, ambiance, and service — especially making your grandson comfortable. We’ll work on the wine pours and consider expanding non-seafood options. Also, we appreciate the note about the OpenTable link and will get it fixed. Looking forward to welcoming you again at Habanero’s!

   There was so much wrong with our meal tonight. But I will only mention the most egregious problem. We ordered the chocolate mud cake for dessert. It tasted utterly horrible so I asked the waiter if I could please see the dessert menu again to reread the description. He brought the menu and then told us that there were multiple shots of espresso and tequila in the dessert. Neither of these were mentioned in the description. Beyond just the horrible taste of the ice cream cake - it was completely not as described. I am stunned that someone would add alcoholic and/or caffeinated ingredients and not list them. The musicians were the positive thing about this restaurant.

   Don’t miss this fabulous restaurant where they were so accommodating to my plant based decisions. The chef prepared a main meal for me that was outstanding. The beet salad was incredible as were the jicama appetizers. My husband had the stuff poblano Wellington, which also was amazing. The mariachis were so fun.

   Here’s my honest opinion - I love the vibe of the restaurant, service was excellent from Luis. The beet salad was wonderful, the shrimp dish was very tasty, however, my shrimp was a bit too well done. The churros were fabulous as was my Americano. The travelling band was good but I thought they were very loud. I understand that they play around the restaurant for tips, but if they could stay at one spot and have a lovely tip container in front? There is no real solution as some people love the band at their table and some don’t. I feel they don’t need an amplifier, customers can definitely hear them. Thanks, Sandra
