So dissapointed in this restaurant that I have previously dined in. Made reservations for NYE dinner and the person on the phone never relayed the suprising events that were to unfold later. Reservations were for 9 pm, we had to wait and buy drinks in the bar until 9:20 pm (the worst $7.50 mojitos in town, if they are going to charge $7.50 for a mojito using a premium rum may be a good idea). When seated we were informed that dinner would consist of a braised pork salad with yucca, soup, more mashed yucca with an 8 oz (or so) beef filet (cooked medium rare only) and creme brulee. Good thing there were no vegetatians in my party. We had no menu options. Dinner also included a free mojito. Then comes the bill, $187.50 for two people, the food was not even close to being worth the price. I have no problem paying for good food. But almost $90 a person for this type of meal was absurd. I felt like I was at a used car lot with hidden dealer handling charges. I spoke with one of the managers and told her what had transpired. She was shocked that at no point were we informed of the single menu selection and cost of the meal. What was even more dissapointing was that she offerred nothing to remedy the situation. You would think she would offer to buy a couple of drinks the next time I was in, which her cost would've been a few bucks. She offerred nothing. I was very friendly and polite as was she but offerring nothing in the future to make up for this bad experience is bad business. I do not recommend this restaraunt and will be on the search for an alternate Cuban restaraunt.
