This restaurant is excellent, it has it all, fantastic food, good wines, pleasant staff & a great atmosphere with the added bonus of value for money. It was recommended by our Cuban guide who said all her European clients had raved about it. She did not lie, without hesitation I say pay this place a visit, you will love it.... more
