   They were slammed today probably because of the holiday weekend so we had to wait for almost 30 minutes with a reservation but we they gave us Rose while we were waiting and then comped our drinks for brunch! We weren’t expecting that at all. It was a really nice surprise and we will definitely go again.

   Had to wait 30 mins after our reservation time but the food and service was amazing. A little loud noise if you’re looking for a quiet place to catch up. Overall great experience

   Habana was amazing!!! The food was great! Real authentic Cuban food! The Medianoche sandwich was great, the empanadas were delicious, and the skirt steak was tender and juicy! The service was fantastic even though it was really busy and the ambiance was fantastic! I have nothing bad to say about this wonderful restaurant!

   I had made reservations a month ago for the night I went. I showed up about 10 min early and they had made me wait 30 min. When I finally went to the hostess to ask they said I never checked in. He was the same hostess I checked in with. When they finally got me seated the girl who was seating us was extremely rude and walked super fast to our table and we lost her since it was so crowded. She then sat us in the way back at a table that was poorly put together next to what I can only describe as junk and debris. I said if this was a joke and she said no and I asked to be seated somewhere else. She proceeded rudely to sit us on a table top next to the bar where they were serving all the drinks. I ordered the pork corquetas and they came out frozen. Then the lechon asado which was subpar. I’m very disappointed with this restaurant’s they overbooked and don’t know how to handle large crowds. The music is way too loud and prices are way too high for the quality of food.

   Pretty good overall. Very large restaurant, very busy and overpriced. The service was good and the food was equally good. The restaurant can be very loud due to its size, table layout, and large volume of customers. For those familiar with Portos in SoCal, you can get equally or better food for a lot less.

   Terrible service. No napkins, no water refills, and drinks ordered only came after we asked. The server rolled her eyes when we pointed out a missing complimentary drink and still didn’t bring it.

   Food was rather bland not a lot of flavor. Roasted chicken was bland and rum prawns were not very flavorful

    Prime example of why Valentine's Day is just a cash grab for a lot of restaurants. We never received our cup of champagne that came with our meal. We were told the cups were being washed. Everybody around us was getting them though. Never got a refill for the drink I ordered. Prices for the dessert are absolutely insane. Will probably go to a high-end Steakhouse from now on and pay the same.
