HMMmmm. This was a tough one, but I guess that's why we are here. I seem to enjoy the food but I was far from impressed. I will go pros and cons.
Pros;
It is a unique place. It has it has a charm to it. It's different.
The food was tasty. I had roasted pork with red beans and rice. It did seem to be missing something like a sauce or something. It was meat - rice - beans... I was wondering if Cuban food comes with some type of condiment or something...
One major plus was the Mojito!!
Cons;
It was not very busy but they had the few guests jammed into 3 booths in a corner of the restaurant. I am sure this is for a server convenience thing but I would have like to spread out a bit. Also, The booth was missing half the padding in the back and it was just covered over.
The appetizer was a fried potato thing. It was 2 golf ball size fried mashed potato balls with a little meat. Not exactly generous. Maybe if they had some cavier on it or something.
This place is in a terrible location. I was confused as hell. The parking is in the back of the Howard Johnson. Then you walk through the hotel. It was weird. Luckily my friend knew how to get into this place.
Service was ho-hum.
The manager approached us and asked, Did you find a cell phone here." I am okay with helping someone recover lost property. I would have preferred if the manager said, "exceuse me for interupting your dinner, but someone lost a cell phone do you mind if we look real quick." I guess it isn't a big deal but it rubbed my rhubarb the wrong way.
The prices seem to be pricey too.
