  • 5/5 fadi h. 2 years ago on Google • 4 reviews
    New owners as Dec 1/2022 after 2 years of shutdown. Staff is very friendly, the food is very tasty and big portions. The entrees are so good, and the main dish is very tasty. I guess for a tourist the food is not expensive, ( make sure you exchange your dollars to Cuban Pesos, before you go). The location is nice but lots of pedestrians between the tables. The washrooms are located on the second floor, they are clean but hand soap, toilet paper and paper towels are not available ( maybe it is the first day and they are busy preparing). Inside of the restaurant is small, 2 tables first floor and 2 tables second floor, but who wants to sit inside a restaurant in Havana. I hope they will succeed running it, it is not easy be in the hospitality business these days. Good luck to the new owners.

    One of the best meals I had in Havana, which is saying something.

    Very expensive for what you get. Nothing at all remarkable. Certainly praying on tourists and their dollars.

    This place was recommended to us by our tour guide. Beautiful and tasty food. Helpful staff. Drinks were not anything memorable but we enjoyed the outdoor patio even on a quiet night. Bathrooms are upstairs and clean.

    Fantastic service and very good food and drinks! We went twice in four days, for the service, mostly. The waitress there was smitten with our kid, and paid him lots of attention, which made him stop crying when he was tired and hungry. We shared the seafood special the first night: the Marlin seemed a little overcooked and one shrimp (that we saw) was not deveined, but as I saw this in another restaurant, it may be the custom. Good lobster. Second time we went, we had mojitos (and little one had mango juice). Best mojito I had the whole time we were in Cuba. I ordered the fish with pesto, and it was the best pesto I have ever eaten. OMG. Definitely worth a visit when in La Habana!

    Amazing! The sangria was wow... the service impeccable & the restrooms clean. 1st time visit was beyond pleasant.

    We had late breakfast here and it was very tasty. Atmosphere amazing, live group playing instruments and singing. Price was descent, we had a breakfast that included fruit plate, coffee or juice, and a plate with eggs, bread, cheese and ham, and some pancakes; we payed around 15 USD for two of those. Plus, the manager/owner, Ernesto Guevara, very nice person with interesting stories. Totally recommend this place which is in Havana Antigua.

    Great spot but service is slow and not overly friendly. The food was awesome and completly different from what you'd find in any all-inclusive resort. Definitely a great spot to stop, have a few drinks and some food.
