We went here to have dessert and drinks and saw the old school card outside! This was exciting! Reminiscent of Cuba. We walked in and there were disco lights and lively music playing! This is a very energetic place with servers quickly bringing drinks and food to patrons. We got drinks that were nicely presented. The server gave options for what I could mix the mezcal with. The Havana vice could have used more liquor. The salads were very nicely portioned, fresh, and tasty! The desserts were phenomenal! The Bread pudding to be exact! I enjoyed it a lot. Overall, we had a great time. We xouldnt stay for the live music but I hear there is music pretty much every day and the weekend is even better which i'd love to visit! It's a must go to spot!

In the area and decided to try something new. The energetic greeting upon arrival was a setup for an amazing dining experience. Never having tried Cuban Cuisine, we relied on Carlo our server’s suggestions. Seated by the fireplace offered a great opportunity to experience all that The Cuban had to offer. From the views of the bar with TVs to the area that looked to be a stage for live music. It allowed us to pan the entire restaurant and even see the birthday guests be serenaded by the Mariachi band (I guess they’re called Mariachi). Actually, every table is a good one. It was the fireplace for me😊. The staff was very friendly, our server was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and prompt. The food though… everything was on point! The empanadas were filled with lots of delicious meat. This is the reason only reason my plate wasn’t cleaned🤣. The atmosphere, energy, food and exceptional service all made this experience one to rave about. The Cuban offers pickup and delivery service and brunch on Sat & Sun 11am - 3pm. The Cuban is next door to the bowling alley which might be the reason parking out front can be a bit challenging but there’s ample parking in the back. Stop by The Cuban and prepare for an amazing experience!

Excellent experience. The Cuban is a time piece that transports you to Cuba. The atmosphere really sets the Cuban experience starting with the vintage vehicles outside. As you enter the doors, you will feel like you are in the tropics ready to indulge in the festivities. It’s a great place to celebrate birthdays or just enjoy the positive vibes in a high energy environment. The guacamole is a must experience!!!! SOOO WORTH IT

Food was amazing I was a bit skeptical at first because of some of the reviews saying it was a bit steep for the amount of food they give you, but honestly I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and they gave good amount of food. Food was delicious server was awesome everything about this place was Great definitely would recommend. Price wise it was Good for the amount of food and drinks we ordered. This place is also good for photos

Why do you advertise reservations & then when you call to make reservations your told no reservations. False advertising. Bad business I have a party of twelve & no reservations not good.

Myrna Franco | Feb 17, 2019
John Cook | Feb 18, 2019

I have made reservations several times for 4 people and they always honored them. Sounds like you got a bad host/hostess. Call the manager, I am sure they would make it right.
