    The food was so good; we had the scallops- perfectly cooked and so tender, set salad was just right and the short rib was melt in your mouth perfect. We had wine and finished with cappuccinos- a perfect lunch with a friend.

    It is truly an amazing experience. We had a fabulous evening. Thank you. The only feedback that feels necessary to share just because everything else was so spectacular is the desserts were not worthy of the rest of the experience. It was beyond disappointing when the meal was as good as it was. To end on stale tasting dry boring cookies was not how I thought it would go. I hope that gets different as I would very much like to go again but dessert is also super important. Thanks for letting me share.

    We're so fortunate to have Cubano's here. They make truly delicious and authentic Cuban food, and some of the plating is just beautiful. It's a very festive place and it's always fun to go there. Favorites are Lechon, Vaca Frita, Shrimp and Snapper. The Cuban chips and Arepitas are must haves. There are many other delicious choices that we try to get back fairly often to explore the menu.
