    What a fantastic restaurant. Met the owner (Patrick) who has the warmest and friendly personality The food is simply excellent. Portion size great. Quality superb. Patrick takes time to visit and talk with his customers and shows a genuine interest in seeing to his guests needs and comfort. He will get a 5 star Yelp revue. Should any of you visit NYC. You must stop and dine here. The service is of high focus to customers and our table of six received the finest of service and customer service All this when every table and seat was at full capacity Do yourself a favor. Go and dine at Guantanamera. .
