    Food was very good and we enjoyed the live music. It seemed like a table or two could be eliminated to make more room so the servers could get to the tables more easily.

    The mains were brought out before we had finished our starters and were sent back. When they came back out, the pork dish was cold. It was sent back, then came back out, having been slightly warmed. I sent it back, and it was taken off the bill, but I worry about that sort of practice with pork. All that said, my companions enjoyed their meals, the margaritas were good, and our server was helpful, polite, and professional throughout.

    James, we apologize for the temp of your meal. We thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to see you again soon.

    Place needs a physical update with paint peeling on walls and front area looks dirty with outdated Furniture. Food was much better but my guess is do to lack of staff drinks and food took a long time to,get.

    Always enjoy Havana Central. Service and food are always good. I usually go in the evenings so noticed a difference in the temperature of the food. The food is not as hot during lunchtime.
