                                          Generally the quality of the food is decent, but during my last experience the quality wasn’t up to par.

                                          I made a reservation and upon arrival, they asked if I minded a 15min wait. I arrived 3mins early for my reservation so I was shocked. I’ve never had a restaurant fail to have my table ready. They then offered me the bar and we were starving so we accepted. All was fine until the bill showed an automatic 18% gratuity. There were only 2 of us. I don’t respect any restaurant that adds an auto gratuity especially when I normally tip 20%. Gratuity is based on service and forcing it makes it a non-negotiable fee. I despise the practice. I love this restaurant so this is a shame and I’m not sure when the policy changed. The food and drinks were amazing as expected.

                                          Dona Havana is a magnificent restaurant, with vibrant colors and art from the Cuban community. The food was phenomenal! The service from the host and Waiter/ waitress were all on a timely fashion. I had a group of 10 people and the sitting was comfortable. The restaurant is very clean and all the employees are very professional and I thank everyone there for a stunning job and just like to say continue to service everyone who comes in to encounter. A time at Dona Habana. 5-stars

                                          We loved the inventive cocktail menu and they live up to their descriptions. The food was creatively presented and delicious. The seafood Paella was delicious, the braised chickpea stew and garlicky shrimp were all delicious! The ambiance was fun, colorful, art filled space. We loved the murals on the walls of walking on a street in Havannah, not to mention the piece which has the front end of an old Chevy popping out of it. The music is a little loud but adds to the energy of the place. We will be going back with friends!
