    We were in the Fort Lauderdale area for a pre cruise stay. We looked for a "different food venue" and thought what could be better than Cuban, with the strong Cuban influences in this area. We were certainly not disappointed.

    We usually have a great experience here but last night my churrasco (one of the best things on the menu) was cold. The service was lacking as well. We had to constantly flag the waiter down to get anything… even water… it may have been a rough night but we won’t be back for awhile because of this.

    We just arrived to Ft. Lauderdale and what a better way to start our short trip here was a taste of Cuban food.

    As soon as we walked in, our table was ready. The staff is very friendly, and the service was great! The appetizer and food both were delicious!

    Beautiful restaurant - big improvement from the Fountains. I find it too loud though. Recommend sitting outside if you want to easily hear the people you are with.
