Editorial Review for Cuba – by Justin Hartung
In Short
The West Village's revolutionary heyday may be long gone, but a different kind of party politics lives on at this Cuban restaurant. On the roster for debate: Should you dance first and work up an appetite for dishes like papas rellenas and ropa vieja, or salsa afterward to fight off the soporific effects of tres leches cake? Tropical plants, creamy white banquettes and brightly colored paintings of the motherland ensure the view will be splendid even during dance breaks.

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we had an amazing time. I booked our reservation using Opentable, and put a note for the hostess asking that they do a "song and a dance" for him. When it came time for dessert, they gave him a huge sparkler on his cake, and some of the waitresses even danced with him. He was so surprised! On top of all of this, the food and music were incredible. We ordered shrimp in garlic sauce and chorizo to start, and then split paella. Fantastic! I also reccomend the Mojitos. Overall a wonderful experience.
Pros: Great Ambience

A friend took me here for dinner on Friday night. We didn't have reservations and ended up sitting and eating at the bar, which ended up being fine (unless you're the type to HAVE to sit at a table). We ordered a pitcher of red sangria, which was really good. The bartender/our waiter Eduardo was really sweet and joined our conversation a few times. I ordered the Paella with lobster tail and my friend ordered the skirt steak. The Paella was delicious but it needed a dash of salt and pepper. The steak was cooked to perfection and was really succulent. The place itself is beautiful and reminiscent of old style Cuba. Very romantic if you were to bring a date there. Overall a great experience.
Pros: Ambience, sangria, service, food
Cons: Crowded
