Food: Brilliant food, but ingredients lacking

The taste cavalcade at Havana Club doesn't disappoint; from the Fried Plantains with their confounding sweetness to the tender and flavorful Braised Oxtail, it's clear that the menu is determined to make an impact. However, signs of staleness creeping into the ingredients somewhat dampens the overall experience. Having said that, the generous portions are a welcome surprise - prepare to share!

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions across multiple dishes, often leading to shared meals.

  • Almost Creative

    Balanced taste atypical for most, suggests unconventional approach.

  • Low Quality

    Stale, old, and cheap ingredients severely detract from food quality.

    Braised Oxtail

Vibe: Your conversation may not be heard

Step in and you're greeted with décor that has seen calmer days. While perfect for group celebrations and adaptable for date nights, Havana Club's noise levels and the often weak Mojitos might leave you grasping for straws, both literally and figuratively. You end up overwhelmed by the noise, a cocktail of loud music and bustling chats.

  • Okay For Dates

    Good for dates or other occasions, adaptable atmosphere for various gatherings.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Outdated decor, feels dirty, and overall ambiance is negatively impacted.

Perks: Parking woes and neglected service

While the restaurant happily accommodates large groups, the convenience end of things leave something to be desired. A small parking lot, shared with other businesses might peeve off some. Paired with a less than attentive service, they somehow rob Havana Club of an otherwise top notch overall dining experience. As for the outdoor seating, brace yourself for a rather underwhelming view of the surroundings.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups effectively with great food and timely service.

  • Bad Service

    Slow service with neglect, not attentive, can be rude or inattentive.
