    Pablo was excellent and attentive. He checked in just enough and was very welcoming. The ambience was really such a great vibe, especially at night outside on the patio. Drinks and food were great! A small piece of feedback would have been that the crostini for the Caesar salad was stale. I did share this with the staff, and they were open to receiving it. Every detail matters so quality checking all aspects within the kitchen is important. I will be back for sure!

    Went for a Christmas Pre-fixe and the food was exceptional. Seafood was fresh, and quality of food was great.

    Waiter and greeters very nice . Service for how busy it was , was good. Food for the price was not even fair . Poor at best. Christmas dinner I got Kobe burger. Fries were cold a giant tomato about 1/2 inch thick , it was not good. My GF had a hot sandwich said it had mustard on it , u couldn’t even taste the mustard. My son had the plantain crusted chicken, just tasted like breaded chicken. Very ordinary at best. The chorizo Mac and cheese was not even cheesy. It wasn’t hot. Extremely disappointing Christmas dinner. The highlight was the key lime pie. Best thing we had. I won’t go back .

    Xmas Eve dinner was wonderful at Habana. We were greeted at the door with complimentary sparkling rose wine while we were checked in for our reservation. Our reservation was for comfortable outdoor seating with a festive ambiance for the season. The server was attentive and courteous offering recommendations and adjustments for some of our dietary restrictions. The seasonal cocktails were delicious and our food was too. Overall a great experience and we are planning to go back soon!

    Excelente comida latina. La música acorde al lugar el sonido perfecto. El mojito fue el único que no me convenció del todo. Pero las salsas muy buenas. Flan muy bueno
