Great atmosphere, great decor, great bar and very good food. A California Avenue instituiton. You can't go wrong bringing folks here on business a change from steakhouse fare is what you are looking for. A pricey menu, makes it a place for special occasions, rather than a once a month spot, but you will have a good time.

A very nice place all round. Pretty cool / unusual that it has a cigar-smoking room in the back. Must have been a struggle to get that squared away in Palo Alto! Food is very well done (if a little pricy). Cocktails also pricey - but it's all very classy and has a nice vibe - a rare combo in... More

My fiance is from Cuba and so he liked the food, but was disappointed in not "real authentic" food. They had items by name and style, but he felt it was very Americanized. We did like our food. Flavors were great. Staff was so so. When we came in a girl was on the phone at the hostess desk and... More

Awesome mojitos, and great food. They have one vegetarian main dish option, but it is amazing, so no complaints from me!

I like to go here with friends for light meals, and mojito. It also nice for dinner. Great Cuban music.

There's a diverse selection of rum cocktails, some twists on the traditional, and some fun takes on more current trends. After dinner, you can have fancy flights of rum varieties sipped straight up.

The cocktails are seriously worth it - the Cuban sidecar is better than we've ever had anywhere else, and the mojitos are popular for good reason. The bar is very lively and active on weekends - the low warm glow from the lamps and candles, the colorful walls, and... More

Conveniently located in Palo Alto's "second" downtown, this place is great. Their mojitos are really good, their staff is very attentive and the food nicely cooked. We had their plantains (a must) and coconut crusted snapper- definitely recommend it. We went on a Friday night and they had awesome live music playing as well.

This place is fun! I feel like I'm in a different country. The music has been exceptional when I've been there on a Saturday--with patrons happily singing along. We enjoy having a smoke in the back--such as throwback to the past. The food is excellent too.
