The BEST latin food in Manhattan!!

by clintob

This place is hands down the best latin restaurant I've found in Manhattan. The food is awesome, which is of course most important. But the place itself has a great vibe. Very cool, narrow layout, but not cramped at all. The waitstaff is friendly and accommodating (in New York, imagine that!), and they play great music to boot.

If you want latin food, and you're downtown, go here!

• Pros: Delicious food; incredible wait staff; fun vibe
• Cons: None!

Entertaining

by EricaCN

Came for a casual double date and sat in their "Cabana Room" which is next to their charming garden. It was a little tight but you don't notice after a couple of mojitos- the Mojito 23 with aged rum and champagne was great!! Ordered the skirt steak which was tender and not overly seasoned. Very tasty! The yuca con mojo paired well with the steak. It was too bad we didn't sit in the front room with the music because as I was waiting for the bathroom, it sounded wonderful. Service was decent but our waiter was funny and entertaining. Good atmosphere! Will be back

• Pros: music, food
• Cons: narrow restaurant

Rip off!!

by doubleDDNY

I took my parents here recently on the recommendation of a friend and was completely disappointed and embarrassed at its mediocrity. The food was all rather bland, except for the squid, which was extra salty. But the worst was the service. From start to finish. The host was on the phone when we arrived and wouldn't even look at us or say "one moment," so we were eventually seated by a bus boy. He never apoligized. Our waiter was soooo slow and when he did appear was completely bored and apathetic. In the end, we all decided to communicate our displeasure by docking part of his tip.

Loud Music&Cramped place

by sternm

Below average!! The restaurant is cramped; barely any room to walk. The live music was too much and on top of a table. The food was ok, I've had better Cuban, the sodas were in very small cups. The tres leches's sponge cake tasted dry and stale. For the rest you guys do the math!

Awesome

by miamimarcg

I celebrated a birthday over the weekend at Havana and it was a blast. Not only was the food great, but the atmosphere and service was great. I will definitely return to Havana. Thanks for making my time there special....

• Pros: Great cuban food

I would call it Havana of Disappointment!

by silviantt

Attitude from the waiter right at the start. He gave us our menus, he spent some time taking another tables order, & then came to us. When we weren't quite sure of what we wanted & asked him about some items on the menu, he hissed at us & gave a warning, that we can only sit at the table for 1 hour. During the meal he never came once over & asked if there was anything he could get for us. The food was just average, nothing great & Overpriced. My friend had the seafood paella, which the flavor of the rice wasnt quite good and had vey little seafood in it. Overall, this is not a place I would return to, nor recommend.

A quiet Dinner or Big Celebration Havana is the place to go

by Elia

The first time I went to Havana was a night out with my honey and the food and atmosphere was great. A year later I returned to Havana to celebrate a friend's Birthday. We were a group of 15 and I found the food even better than the first time! The music set the mood just right and the staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu we all agreed it was a great evening.

• Pros: Best Red Snapper

Worst Restaurant in NEW YORK

by mcdelgado

You got to be kidding me this place needs a ZERO rating but too bad that the site doesnt have one. Oh my GOD i dont know where to start. The service was horribly lazy slow and rude. The food wasnt worth the money we paid for. I asked for the manager but a busboy came to our table barely understanding what we were saying.
