We found this wandering through Havana. They had a price fixe menu which was edible but forgettable. We had a bottle of wine which was OK. The service was indifferent and they never came back to see how things were or offer us more wine etc...I would find a nicer spot in Havana to go.

We went to the restaurant on a very quiet night, even the band that played for tips stopped playing there were so few people there. The service was terrible, and the food was only decent. They had a special and we had to argue to get what we were supposed to. When we asked for the check (in spanish) the... More

Old fashion style with famous 'Septeto típico de Sones' (one of the best in Cuba!) and quite good dancers, enjoyable food and nice service!

This is a good place to stay if you want to listen to a classical cuban band playing salsa, rumba and reggethon beat, accompanied by good quality dancers. It's not a show, but more visual entertainment whole you enjoy your food, and the view of the tourists with panama hats enjoying cigars and mohijtos. We only stopped for lunch, and... More

There was nothing special, music was good for the brief period the band played, dancers were finishing dancing when we walked in, then expected tips for thier dancing. There was a pretty long wait for drinks and to order, and an even longer wait for the food to actually arrive after ordering, they were not at all busy, 3 other... More

I can eat at the bar which has small TV (no sound) that is showing the start of El Classico - Barca vs Real.... More

Visited the restaurant for dinner. I had the steak which was well cooked and well presented, the meal was served with new potatoes and vegetables- no rice and beans and no cucumber and tomato! The menu is a welcome relief from traditional cuban food and the restaurant also has a wine list which contains more than 3 wines, I ordered... More

To be fair we were tired and had a looked at the set menu earlier that specified chicken soup and pork main course for 7.5 pesos ( it did say available all day). Tired and not at our sharpest we returned a few hours later and ordered the set menu without checking. We were served fish soup followed by fish... More
