    I have eaten in other Cuban restaurants before and I found that the food here was not as good. It was cold salty, and overpriced. On the other hand I was seated right away although I was early and staff was attentive.

    Very nice spot. Guacamole was excellent. Shrimp enchilados tasty, but the shrimp were a bit "mealy". Service was excellent at bar and table. Companion loved the bronzino. Would definitely go again if in the area.
