Great food, but definitely on the upscale side for Philadelphia, with entree prices in the $30s. However, the prix fixe menu at $35 is a bargain, because those were the dishes we wanted to try. I was a bit disappointed in the scallop ceviche, as it was only one scallop sliced into slivers and served with cucumber - the flavor... more

The chocolate cigar dessert is most unusual and a must. Weekends are crowded but a table in the lounge for dinner is equally good and tables there are first come, first served. There are a few Cuban standards but the menu includes a number of very tasty twists. The Stuffed Poquilo Peppers appetizer is a culinary treat. It's moderately priced... more

Our food was delicious, nicely presented, fresh, mostly authentic, fairly priced and plentiful. But the wine and mojitos were grossly overpriced and the place became excessively noisy.

Our Cuban companion confirmed that the Vaca... more

Great food, great service, but not the typical Hispanic "joint". This is a beautiful, kind of upscale restaurant with a metropolitan atmosphere. I'm inclined to say that it would be a romantic atmosphere if it wasn't for the other diners sitting so close by. Alma de Cuba certainly has a completely different feel from his sibling restaurant: Cuba Libre. This... more

My wife and I just returned from Alma de Cuba this past weekend. What can I say, this restaurant is great. The mojitoes are fabulous! Whether you like them the old fashion way or with an aspiring twist you won't be disappointed. The bar/ lounge area on the first floor has a 30 something, young, successful, beautiful, trendy vibe. While... more
