Our group came in here for a weekend brunch and were seated inside with a lovely view of their outdoor patio. It's beautiful decorated and service was great. They weren't busy yet so we had the place to ourselves for a little bit. The food and drinks was delicious and beautifully presented. The portions were good as well. We will definitely be back.

I had a great experience! Our waiter was so nice and kept checking up on us, and they even gave us complimentary rosé. We were seated outdoors with dim lights which made the ambiance warm and cozy. What we ordered: - Chicken Empanada (9/10): Smaller than I expected, but so delicious. The sauce it came with was amazing. - Ropa Vieja (9/10): The beef was tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the rice, beans, and sweet plantains. - Medianoche Sandwich (8/10): Tasty, but nothing too special. The fries that came with it were really good though. Overall, great service, great food, and a really nice vibe!

Had a great time at Habana the restaurant itself is beautiful and it builds an amazing atmosphere. Food was delicious, very filling, and met my expectations in full. (Also did a great job cooking my medium rare!) If you’re an indecisive person they give plenty of time and we didn’t feel rushed in the slightest. Our server Dominic* was more than amazing and helped us navigate the menu, this man is great, and filled my water like 8 times -I drank a lot of water. We vent for Valentine’s Day so the set menu pricing wise was a bit steeper than a typical outing but the decorations and complementary items were nice. It was a pleasure dining there and I hope I get the chance to return. If you’re a man and you’re stressing over finding a nice place to take your partner this is a great spot.

Delicious food, plenty of options and a great outdoor ambience. We chose the restaurant to celebrate a few birthdays and were greeted with complimentary champagne and we also got a sweet Happy Birthday wish on a pretty Souvenir postcard. We all got different dishes including the seafood paella, churrascaria, fliet mignon, ahh tuna and salmon dinners. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We were stuffed so we didn't get dessert, but will definitely make room for the next time. We walked off the calories as we walked around the stores around the area.
