Great food

by amateurfoodie7

We were there on a Saturday night around 6pm--a little early for the real "scene", it wasn't loud or crowded yet--but the food was delish and the margaritas were pretty good too. I would recommend this place to my friends.

fun and chic

by boricuaalfin

I absolutely love Cuba Libre, I'm not much of a club person, not at all actually but I love to go out on a Friday night and have a good time. Cuba Libre has a great atmosphere, beautiful decor, beautiful people and exquisite food. I have actually never eaten anything at Cuba Libre that I didn't absolutel love. Every time i go back I have a new favorite dish. Like other reviews stated, there is a long wait (though it is well worth it), the music is loud (but really, if you go out on a weekend night, it is to be expected anywh ere), and the waitstaff isn't the friendliest, (though they are by no means rude). Cuba Libre definately hosts a younger crowd, 20 to I would say about mid 30's. I highly reccommend it if you are looking for a fun night out with friends.

• Pros: Great food, great ambience
• Cons: long wait
