Best

Food was excellent & arrived right at the quoted time.

Worst

We had a hankering for Cuban food and knew that we wanted to avoid the touristy Times Square area, but...

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! 7/21/2006

The food is excellent, the service has been great ever time I've been, the ambiance is wonderful and the live music is outstanding. The tapas are tasty, but try the garlic chicken breast or the skirt steak. YUM!! It is noisy, so it's not really set up for a romantic dinner, but it bustles and is a happenin' place. My friends and I are there most Friday nights. Pros: Great ambiance, HUGE portions of tasty food. Cons: Noisy. Better to have reservations. more

Great food - Good Service - Very Reasonable 7/15/2006

Went to Havana Central on a Saturday before theater. Great atmosphere and not very crowded. The food was fantastic. The service was very good. For drinks, apps and dinner we paid under $60 for 2 people! I will go back and will continue to recommend this place to friends. I also want to try the location in Union Sq. Pros: Great Atmosphere - Fantastic Food more

Pretty decor, but average food 6/20/2006

This is a better place to stop in for a drink than it is a place to eat. The ambiance is great, it's right near the central meeting point of Union Square, they have a list of summery drinks to choose from. I'd stop in again after work with my girlfriends for a drink. But then I'd go have dinner somewhere else. Two problems: food and service. The food was not bad, it's simply standard and unexciting. My friend got a r[a]ck of ribs that wasn't bad, I got a vegetarian platter that consisted of a pile of bland veggies and plain rice. When we were ready to leave, the wait staff of the crowded restaurant was simply overrun. It took us 20 minutes to get a check, despite many attempts at meaningful eye contact with the wait staff. Pros: Ambience, selection of drinks at the bar Cons: Disappointing food, inattentive wait staff more

Good paella and generous servings 6/20/2006

Our party ordered different dishes with variable results. The empanada sampler was pretty tasty. The paella was good and the serving was huge so we were able to share this. The pernil and carne guisada were both average. Their drinks were worth it and we enjoyed the sangria. The servers were attentive to our needs. We liked the atmosphere of the branch in times square much more than the one in union square. We had so much food that we had enough for take home. Pros: Good taste and value Cons: Can be noisy more

Fun Atmosphere - Good food 1/24/2006

Great atmosphere. Decorated to resemble Old havana - Spanish music and bar with 2 TVs. Small tables. Decent menu- has a variety of different cuban dishes. Have been there 3 times in the recent past. Liked the shrimp and garlic friend had the burger -said it was good. I've had the mariscada which was good too. Nice drinks also Friendly and accomodating wait staff-will definately return Pros: decor, service, value Cons: noisy more

HORRIBLE service, mediocre food 12/12/2005

Our dinner was a disaster. After we were seated and ordered our meals, we were asked to move because the restaurant had "overbooked." They moved us upstairs to an area where they were setting up for a private party -- we had no server, and had to flag down people setting up for the party to get us drinks, silverware, water, etc. Then, we were asked to move AGAIN because the private party was about to start. When I told the manager about it, he apologized and gave me his card and told me to come back and he would give me a discount. Considering the absolute ridiculousness of being asked to move TWICE, I will never be using that card. On top of the horrible service, the food was very average. Pros: fun drinks, live music Cons: horrible service, bland food more

Very nice design when compared to other midtown latino restaurants. Still going through some growing pains week 6 but improving steadily. The food is good, the after work scene is also very good. The service is sometimes spotty but not for lack of trying. Pros: Design, value, drinks Cons: service, lunch crowd small more
