Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar - Fort Lauderdale

Fulldistance Going

When the service is prompt and the food is delicious the outcome is happiness. We stumbled on to this restaurant by chance and decided to try Cuban food. A few years ago we had visited the heart of Cuban food in Miami and so were not sure if the food at this restaurant was going to be good. However, we were pleasantly surprised … the food, the service and ambience were satisfactory. The lunch menu is simple but it offers a nice selection of #cubanfood #cubandishes. The vegetarian paella is excellent! The starters are small portions but tasty. Try the plantain chips and avocado dip. The sandwiches are filling and well presented. Give this place a shot. I imaging for dinner you may have to call and check fir reservations. The beautiful well stocked bar is exciting as is the fire pit!

I had a lovely evening with my colleague and one of our clients. We had AMAZING service from Josue, and the food was very flavorful & cooked to perfection. We had the seafood paella 🥘 with lobster tails and the fried pork dish accompanied by Cuban bread and sweet butter. We also had a pitcher of their sangria. It was a 10/10 experience. Great tasting Cuban food located in the Las Olas area!

I knew the reviews were bad, however I live nearby and wanted to give it a try anyway, sorry I did. Atmosphere was okay very corporate looking nothing authentic. Server was pleasant, the first task was to remove the brunch menu incorrectly given to me by the hostess. Bread was good, didn’t understand why cinnamon butter was being served on already butter Cuban bread. Salad was the ordinary spring mix served everywhere with added tomatoes and olive. Black bean soup was really just a small serving of black beans in a bowl. The Cuban Sandwich served at room temperature was less than acceptable. Cuban Sandwich looked and tasted like lunch meat and cheese that was probably grilled at one time much earlier in the day. You know that feeling in your stomach when you’ve eaten a bad meal that’s how I felt walking out. All checks include a 3% surcharge to help offset fast-riding expenses. This fee is not a service charge or gratuity. I would not recommend this establishment.
