A Cuban Gem: Habana Delights in Every Aspect Habana has easily become my go-to spot, and I can't help but gush about this Cuban restaurant that has won my heart. From the moment I step in, I'm enveloped in a warm ambiance that keeps me coming back for more. 🌟 Ambiance and Lighting: The lighting at Habana is nothing short of magical. The ambiance is enhanced by two charming and cozy bars that add a touch of sophistication. It's evident that the attention to detail extends beyond the menu. 🥂 Welcome and Drinks: A sparkling rose to welcome guests? It's these small touches that set Habana apart. The staff goes the extra mile to ensure a memorable experience. While the margarita was amazing, as a wine enthusiast, I can't resist their sparkling rose. 🍽️ Customer Care and Servers: I've had the pleasure of dining here five times, and each visit has left me impressed with the exceptional customer care and servers' attitude. They take the time to explain details, accommodate dietary restrictions, and suggest delightful options.

It's a testament to the restaurant's commitment to aesthetics and creating a holistic experience. 🌟 Overall Experience: Without a doubt, I rate every aspect of my experience at Habana as 5 out of 5.

Best Cuban Restaurant. From the moment you check in, everyone is so nice and welcoming. We had complimentary Rosé while we waited. The empanada appetizers were really good definitely recommend. We had the vegetable empanada and cheese empanada both were really good, my wife had the ropa vieja and I had La Paella with the lobster tail. Food was amazing. Ols Always a good vibe can't wait til I come back

Absolutely Love the atmosphere, it has a Classic retro feel. The greeters were amazing and even gave me a cute glass of Rose’ 💕. Our waiter was good but very busy and forgot a few of our appetizers. Our food was good maybe a little pricey but the vibe and atmosphere and drinks made up for it!

Love their salmon a la Parilla! By far, my favorite dish here and I typically only come when I'm craving that dish or late night drinks. Make sure you ask for an extra side of the sauce! So good!!! I've been coming here since they first opened 9 or so years ago. I've always been happy with the service and food. Originally, they had music and mojito Monday's, but after covid, they stopped. I was in there recently and found out they are starting their Mojito Monday's again. They also have Happy hour again. (Picture below with the options). I am always impressed by the bartenders when I come in. Jose always greets me and knows my order. Carolina is also really good! Very attentive as well. I had my food delivered a few times by Javi, and he is always on point. He knows his dishes and has great energy when he is on the floor. Thank you! Overall, Habana is a great date night spot to check out! The drinks are a tad bit more expensive, in my opinion. I order a Titos light dirty, and it breaks down to about $18 per drink. I do, however, like that when you come to the bar, they offer a complimentary champagne before you order your drink. It's a nice, classy touch! I would definitely recommend coming here! Ropa Vieja is my #2 dish to order!

The food was excellent. Love the ambiance. The restaurant was beautifully decorated. Service can be a little better. Our waiter took a long time to come around to check on us.
