The menu is authentic Cuban and can accomodate vegetarians.

Favorites from the menu-

Appetizer: Fried plantain chips with black bean salsa (this is a MUST TRY!)

Brazilian fried calamari

Jerk chicken

(They excel in appetizers so much that I frequently order several appetizers for the entire meal!)

Main Courses:

Chicken, Sausage, Mussels, and Fish on saffron rice

Plantain crusted Mahi Mahi on coconut rice

Sauteed shrimp and chicken in coconut broth with toasted cashews

Whole Red Snapper, deep fried crisp in a light but spicy batter, served on green rice (another DON'T MISS!)

I'm always so full after appetizers and main course that I've never tried any of their delectable-sounding deserts (including the combination of chilis and chocolate that made us all curious in the film Chocolat), but I have done something adventurous...ordered a SIDE DISH as a desert! The sweet ripe plantains sauteed and spiced sweet are melt-in-your-mouth good.

Saucy Cuban music is played in the small (somewhat cramped) dining room, but dining out on the candle-lit patio is simply nirvana! (Except for the iron park chairs which are a bit hard on my bony tush!)

There is a bar popular with the 30s Yuppy set, and excellent sangria, both white and red, are made in-house.

For two, with plenty of drinks, appetizers, a main course, and dessert if you can hold it, expect to spend $70-$100 by the time you walk out.

Use the valet. Parking is difficult.
