  I just moved in from NEW York, and went Havana Grill to have dinner. When I first sat down I waited about 10 minutes and no one came over ? Then a young Lady name Sydney came over and saves the day. She sprung into action and her demeanor changed the way I felt about no service. She was the consummate professional. Part of my background is management consulting. Sydney exhibited leadership ship combined with next level service 🙏 thank you !

  I was standing at the counter to order a drink to go. The staff saw me, but no one came to help. It made me feel ignored and unwelcome.

  My 4th time dining here and upset it took me so long to discover the Vaca Frita dish. This is the #1 dish on the menu in my opinion. Make sure to get it with congris! Also love the Ropas Vieja and Pollo con Arroz. The pidcadillo is good, but I would rank that behind the 3 aforementioned items. Service & atmosphere are top notch! We dined in on a Friday and there was live music that added to the vibe, but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't have a conversation. The only dish I've had here that was not good was the Caesar salad. I would not recommend that dish. We'll definitely be back again!!

  Vaca fritas was amazing. The beef had a crispy outside and still soft and tender texture as you bit in. The flavor of the mean was delicious, both savory and a little citrus maybe. It had an odd sense of being refreshing. Beans were delicious, just black beans but well cooked, food texture, and nice subtle flavor. Fried plantains were a nice touch for the meal and quite yummy. Also, the meal came with melted garlic butter which maybe had some other flavor in it but it tasted great with the beef. Empanadas, the crust on all of them buttery and flaky and perfectly cooked. The crust is actually a strong flavor so for some of the more miler flavored empanadas, it overpowered. Reviews of the flavors from favorite to least favorite: Braised beef: This was very flavorful, mine and my partner's favorite of the bunch. I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers (though I'm not offended by them), but it complimented the flavor of the beef so well that I really enjoyed it. Picadillo: 2nd favorite was this seasoned beef. It smells stronger than it tastes but it has a nice flavor. My partner said he wouldn't think he'd be able to eat the whole thing because it would be overpowering over a while, but I think I'd enjoy the whole thing. It was savory and seasoned well. -- For the record I don't always prefer beef, but I think the stronger flavor of these had better balance with the strong buttery-flavored crust. -- Beans: this surprised me. I didn't have high expectations but it actually was really tasty. I'm not sure what cheese they use but it was stringy and balanced nicely with the beans. Cubano: My partner put this as his third but is my fourth. I actually think maybe even 5th for me. He liked that it had the mix of ham and pickle flavors. It looked and tasted like it had ham and chicken and pickles. I couldn't taste the cheese at all and expected some kind of sauce or mustard with it like the sandwich does, but alas it did not. The meat also was a smidgen dry. Not bad but could have been way better. Lechón: my 4th/5th favorite. The flavor of the pork was quite good and it was tender and juicy enough. However, this is one where it suffered overall because it's a milder flavor and the empanada crust overpowered it. Chicken: I like chicken. It's so versatile. This just tasted like boiled chicken, very flight flavors, overwhelmed by the crust. Also, the chicken was overcooked and dry. It wasn't so bad you wouldn't want to eat it, but it was distinctly not tender and juicy. I wanted a sauce to dip it in to give it flavor. Oh the dessert.... It was delicious. The balance between the mouse and the cake was great. It wasn't too sweet or rich, but had a decadent chocolate flavor. The crust was nice with a little crunch to it. The cake inside was very moist. Also it looked like there were two different chocolate mousse in the layered cake, but I didn't try them separately to explore further. I ate all layers together and the cohesion was perfectly balanced. My partner took a bite with the rose petal, do not recommend.
